TVA guarantees repayment on certain loans receivable from end-use customers in association with the EnergyRight® Solutions program. TVA sells the loans receivable to a third-party bank and has agreed with the bank to purchase any loan receivable that has been in default for 180 days or more or that TVA has determined is uncollectible. As of March 31, 2013, the carrying amount of the associated obligation to purchase those loans was approximately $186 million, of which $37 million is current and included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities. See Note 5.
