OSTI ID:6126126

Degree-days for the winter of 1983 to 1984 were 11% more than normal and 16% higher than the previous winter. Because of colder weather and improved economic conditions, total sales by the distributors increased by 10% during fiscal year 1984 (a 4% increase over the 1981 previous all-time high). Residential average use increased from 13,155 kWh to 14,418 kWh (the all-time high of 16,251 kWh occurred in 1978). Revenue per kWh increased by 1% and power cost per kWh increased by 2%. This increase was influenced by the July 2, 1983 rate restructuring and the change in power credits which went into effect October 2, 1983. Operating expenses per consumer (excluding wholesale power cost) increased 6% in 1984. The increase in expenses per consumer for the four largest municipalities was 9%, the smaller municipalities 5%, and the cooperatives 3%. On a per kWh basis operating expenses decreased 2%. The four largest municipalities showed a 2% increase, the smaller municipalities a 3% decrease, and the cooperatives a 6% decrease. Operating expense ratios, operating characteristics and financial comparisons for the years 1980 to 1984 for each municipal and cooperative distributor served by TVA are tabulated in this report.
