Interest Rate Swap Liabilities. TVA uses interest rate swaps to fix variable short-term debt to a fixed rate. The values of these derivatives are included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities, Accrued interest, and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, the carrying amount of the interest rate swap liabilities recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Accrued interest was $72 million and $115 million, respectively. See Note 14 — Risk Management Activities and Derivative Transactions — Derivatives Not Receiving Hedge Accounting Treatment — Interest Rate Derivatives for information regarding the interest rate swap liabilities. Operating Lease Liabilities. TVA's operating leases consist primarily of railcars, equipment, real estate/land, and power generating facilities. At June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the current portion of TVA's operating leases recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $60 million and $40 million, respectively. Currency Swap Liabilities. To protect against exchange rate risk related to British pound sterling denominated Bond transactions, TVA entered into foreign currency hedges. The values of these derivatives are included in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the carrying amount of the currency swap liabilities reported in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $10 million and $7 million, respectively. See Note 14 — Risk Management Activities and Derivative Transactions — Cash Flow Hedging Strategy for Currency Swaps for more information regarding the currency swap liabilities. EnergyRight® Financing Obligation. TVA purchases certain loans receivable from its LPCs in association with the EnergyRight® program. The current and long-term portions of the resulting financing obligation are reported in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, on TVA's Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2022, and September 30, 2021, the carrying amount of the financing obligation recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $15 million and $16 million, respectively. See Note 7 — Other Long-Term Assets for information regarding the associated loans receivable. Long-Term Deferred Compensation. TVA provides compensation arrangements to engage and retain certain employees, both executive and non-executive, which are designed to provide participants with the ability to defer compensation to future periods. The current and long-term portions are recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, on TVA’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the current amount of deferred compensation recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $46 million and $51 million, respectively. Advances for Construction. TVA receives refundable and non-refundable advances for construction that are generally intended to defray all or a portion of the costs of building or extending TVA’s existing power assets. Amounts received are deferred as a liability with the long-term portion representing amounts that will not be recognized within the next 12 months. As projects meet milestones or other contractual obligations, the refundable portion is refunded to the customer and the non-refundable portion is recognized as contributions in aid of construction and offsets the cost of plant assets. At June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the current amount of advances for construction recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $35 million and $38 million, respectively. Long-Term Deferred Revenue. Long-term deferred revenue represents payments received that exceed services rendered resulting in the deferral of revenue. This long-term portion represents amounts that will not be recognized within the next 12 months primarily related to fiber and transmission agreements. The current and long-term portions of the deferral are recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, on TVA’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the current amount of deferred revenue recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $14 million and $17 million, respectively. Accrued Long-Term Service Agreements. TVA has entered into various long-term service agreements for major maintenance activities at certain of its combined cycle plants. TVA uses the direct expense method of accounting for these arrangements. TVA accrues for parts when it takes ownership and for contractor services when they are rendered. Under certain of these agreements, parts received and services rendered exceed payments made. The current and long-term portions of the resulting obligation are recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities and Other long-term liabilities, respectively, on TVA's Consolidated Balance Sheets. At June 30, 2022 and September 30, 2021, the current amount of accrued long-term service agreements recorded in Accounts payable and accrued liabilities was $38 million and $28 million, respectively.
