Long-term Contracts or Programs Disclosure [Text Block]

The number of LPCs with the contract arrangements described below, the revenues derived from such arrangements for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020, and the percentage of TVA's total operating revenues for the three and nine months ended June 30, 2020 represented by these revenues, are summarized in the tables below:

TVA Local Power Company Contracts At and for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020
Contract Arrangements(1)						Number of LPCs						Revenue from Sales of Electricity to LPCs (in millions)						Percentage of Total Operating Revenues
20-year termination notice						141						$	1,630					72.4		%
10-year termination notice						1						1						—		%
5-year termination notice						12						427						19.0		%
Total						154						$	2,058					91.4		%

Note

(1) Ordinarily, the LPCs and TVA have the same termination notice period; however, in contracts with two of the LPCs with five-year termination notices, TVA has a 10-year termination notice (which becomes a five-year termination notice if TVA loses its discretionary wholesale rate-setting authority). Certain LPCs have five-year termination notices or a shorter period if any act of Congress, court decision, or regulatory change requires or permits that election.
