Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract] |
Valuation Techniques | The measurement of fair value results in classification into a hierarchy by the inputs used to determine the fair value as follows:
Level 1 | — |  | Unadjusted quoted prices in active markets accessible by the reporting entity for identical assets or liabilities. Active markets are those in which transactions for the asset or liability occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing.
Level 2 | — |  | Pricing inputs other than quoted market prices included in Level 1 that are based on observable market data and that are directly or indirectly observable for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. These include quoted market prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted market prices for identical or similar assets in markets that are not active, adjusted quoted market prices, inputs from observable data such as interest rate and yield curves, volatilities and default rates observable at commonly quoted intervals, and inputs derived from observable market data by correlation or other means.
Level 3 | — |  | Pricing inputs that are unobservable, or less observable, from objective sources. Unobservable inputs are only to be used to the extent observable inputs are not available. These inputs maintain the concept of an exit price from the perspective of a market participant and should reflect assumptions of other market participants. An entity should consider all market participant assumptions that are available without unreasonable cost and effort. These are given the lowest priority and are generally used in internally developed methodologies to generate management's best estimate of the fair value when no observable market data is available.
Unrealized Investment Gains (Losses) | TVA recorded unrealized gains and losses related to its equity and trading debt securities held during each period as follows:

Notes (1) The unrealized gains for the RP were less than $1 million for both the three months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and therefore were not represented in the table above. (2) Includes $43 million of unrealized losses and $61 million of unrealized gains related to NDT equity securities (excluding commingled funds) for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. (3) Includes $11 million of unrealized losses and $18 million of unrealized gains related to ART equity securities (excluding commingled funds) for the three months ended December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
