Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:6912468
Statistical data for TVA power distributors is presented. Degree-days for the winter of 1986--87 were 8 percent less than normal but were 5 percent more than the previous winter. Residential average use increased from 13,476 kWh to 14,081 kWh (the all-time high of 16,251 kWh occurred in fiscal year 1978). Despite continued warmer winter weather, customer load growth caused total sales by the distributors to increase by 6 percent during fiscal year 1987. Including the effects of the October 1986 Rate Change and Adjustment Addendum, revenue per kWh increased by 7 percent and power cost per kWh increased by 6 percent. Operation and maintenance expenses per consumer for all distributors increased 5 percent in 1987. Operation and maintenance expenses per consumer for the four largest municipalities and cooperatives increased 5 percent, while expenses per consumer for the smaller municipalities increased by 6 percent. On a per-kWh-basis, operating expenses for all distributors increased 2 percent. The four largest municipalities showed a 2-percent increase, the smaller municipalities a 3-percent increase, and the cooperatives a 1-percent increase.
