Addresses the significant ongoing expenses incurred by the federal government to support the electricity-related activities of the Power Marketing Administrations (PMAS) and the Rural Utilities Service (RUS). Also addresses potential future losses from these activities, as well as those of the Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA), given the move toward deregulation and increased competition in the electric industry. This report estimates the federal government's net recurring cost from electricity related activities at the RUS, the PMAS, and TVA for FY1996 &, where possible, the cumulative net cost for FY 1992 through 1996.

Reviews several issues pertaining to the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) financial condition. Increasing competition in electricity markets led TVA management to develop a 10-year business plan in 1997 to position TVA to be more competitive. Among the objectives in the plan was reducing TVA's cost of power, primarily by cutting its $27.4 million debt in half by 2007. This report examines TVA's (1) progress in reducing debt and recovering the costs of deferred assets, (2) financial condition, including debt and fixed cost ratios, compared to that of other utilities, and (3) potential stranded costs, options for recovering them, and how they are linked to TVA's debt.
