<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Historic drought conditions across the Tennessee Valley during the past seven months have cut
TVA&#146;s least expensive generation resource, hydropower, by more than 40&nbsp;percent. The period of
January through July is among the driest on record in 118&nbsp;years.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The drought is the key reason for the increase in the fuel cost adjustment effective Oct. 1,
which TVA announced today. The October adjustment in rates allows TVA to recover higher than
anticipated fuel and purchased power costs this past spring that were related to drought
conditions, and it also reflects continued drought impacts that are expected throughout the fall.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The FCA for the three-month period of October through December is slightly more than
four-tenths of a cent per kilowatt-hour, or 0.432 cents. The impact will vary across the Valley,
but residential consumers can expect an increase ranging from about $3 to $6 in their monthly
bills.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;Extremely dry conditions across the Tennessee Valley this year have reduced our hydro
generation by more than 40&nbsp;percent, driving our fuel and purchased power costs higher than we
planned,&#148; said TVA President and CEO Tom Kilgore. &#147;We are working hard to manage our resources and
costs during these extraordinary conditions, but there is no way for us to avoid buying more power
to offset the significant loss of hydro production.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The FCA is a routine quarterly rate adjustment that TVA uses to help manage the volatility of
fuel and purchased power costs. It allows TVA to reconcile its forecasts for fuel and purchased
power costs with the actual costs.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The adjustment is part of consumer power bills and can be a charge or a credit, depending on
quarterly increases or decreases in fuel and purchased power costs. A variety of factors, which
TVA cannot control, affect fuel and purchased power costs, including the weather and changes in
market prices for various fuels. Many utilities, including most of those neighboring TVA&#146;s service
area, use similar mechanisms to adjust their rates.

<DIV style="font-family: Helvetica,Arial,sans-serif">

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;As a result of the drought conditions, the levels of upstream tributary reservoirs on the
Tennessee River system are an average of 19 feet below normal, leaving very little water to operate
the hydroelectric plants. Water levels in the main river reservoirs are near normal because TVA
must allow for navigation, maintain water quality, protect aquatic habitat and ensure an adequate
water supply.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;Kilgore said the current situation illustrates a critical need for a comprehensive approach to
meet the growing power demand in the Valley.
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&#147;Energy efficiency and conservation play a key role in that effort,&#148; he said. &#147;Consumers can
help manage future electric bills by taking a few simple steps to improve energy conservation in
their homes.&#148;
</DIV>

<DIV align="left" style="font-size: 10pt; margin-top: 6pt">&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;The time of day that electricity is used has a significant impact on the FCA amount consumers
will see on their electric bills. TVA&#146;s costs to produce power are highest between the hours of 2
p.m. and 8 p.m. when electricity demand is typically greatest. A few cost-saving steps Valley
residents can take to help improve energy efficiency in their homes include:
