For customers with an unusually large requirement, TVA will supply them directly.
TVA and the distributors of TVA power make available to industry several power supply arrangements which allow industry to select the most cost effective arrangements. In addition to the availability of firm power service, TVA and the distributors of TVA power also make available to industry very economically priced interruptible power supply arrangements for those industrial processes which can withstand interruption without significant disruption of the production process. At the customer’s option, substation facilities can be supplied by either the customer or the utility. Also, a new or expanding customer, or a customer restarting an idled facility, can obtain a great deal of flexibility in power billing arrangements during the startup and testing phase of new plant operations. TVA and the power distributors welcome the most cost-effective power supply arrangements consistent with the industry’s production requirements.
