Accounts Receivable, after Allowance for Credit Loss [Abstract] |
Accounts Receivable, Net | 3. Accounts Receivable, Net Accounts receivable primarily consist of amounts due from customers for power sales. The table below summarizes the types and amounts of TVA's accounts receivable:
Accounts Receivable, Net At September 30
| 2020 |  | 2019
Power receivables | $ | 1,401 |  |  | $ | 1,624 |
Other receivables | 128 |  |  | 115 |
Accounts receivable, net(1) | $ | 1,529 |  |  | $ | 1,739 |
Note (1) Allowance for uncollectible accounts was less than $1 million at September 30, 2020 and 2019, and therefore is not represented in the table above. In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the TVA Board approved the Public Power Support and Stabilization program in March 2020, which includes alternative wholesale payment arrangements for LPCs. Through this program, TVA is offering up to $1.0 billion of credit support to LPCs that demonstrate the need for temporary financial relief, through the deferral of a portion of LPCs' wholesale power payments owed to TVA. The program requires LPCs to apply for the deferral, which is subject to approval by TVA. If approved, TVA will establish and approve a repayment schedule with the LPC by December 31, 2020, with a repayment term not to exceed two years. The program is available through CY 2020, and as of November 16, 2020, $1 million of credit support has been approved under the program.
