Electricity: Public power, TVA, BPA, and competition. Hearing before the Subcommittee on Energy and Power of the Committee on Commerce, House of Representatives, One Hundred Fifth Congress, First session
This is the 17th hearing of the Subcommittee on Energy and Power as it looks toward a competitive electricity market. This hearing looks at the role of public power in this mix. Public power and cooperatives supply approximately 25% of the American consumers. Bonneville Power Authority and the Tennessee Valley Authority are the largest two public power systems, and they present unique problems as one looks at the question of competition in the electric market. They both have large debt services which need to be dealt with, preferably without transferrance to the country as a whole. The committee hears testimony from 15 witnesses in this hearing, to gain a perspective on the question of public power and competition.
