Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] |
Revenues | Revenues TVA recognizes revenue from contracts with customers to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For the generation and transmission of electricity, this is generally at the time the power is delivered to a metered customer delivery point for the customer's consumption or distribution. As a result, revenues from power sales are recorded as electricity is delivered to customers. In addition to power sales invoiced and recorded during the month, TVA accrues estimated unbilled revenues for power sales provided to five customers whose billing date occurs prior to the end of the month. Exchange power sales are presented in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations as a component of sales of electricity. Exchange power sales are sales of excess power after meeting TVA native load and directly served requirements. Native load refers to the customers on whose behalf a company, by statute, franchise, regulatory requirement, or contract, has undertaken an obligation to serve. TVA engages in other arrangements in addition to power sales. Certain other revenue from activities related to TVA's overall mission is recorded in Other revenue. Revenues that are not related to the overall mission are recorded in Other income, net.

Schedule of Long-Term Contracts for Purchase of Electric Power | The number of LPCs by contract arrangement, the revenues derived from such arrangements for 2024, and the percentage those revenues comprised of TVA's total operating revenues for 2024, are summarized in the table below:
TVA Local Power Company Contracts At or for the year ended September 30, 2024
Contract Arrangements(1) | Number of LPCs |  | Revenue from Sales of Electricity to LPCs (in millions) |  | Percentage of Total Operating Revenues
20-year termination notice | 148 |  |  | $ | 9,621 |  |  | 78.1 | %
5-year termination notice | 5 |  |  | 1,517 |  |  | 12.3 | %
Total | 153 |  |  | $ | 11,138 |  |  | 90.4 | %
Note (1) Ordinarily, the LPCs and TVA have the same termination notice period; however, in a contract with one of the LPCs with a five-year termination notice, 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.
