Tennessee Valley Authority Fuel Cost Adjustment
TVA Fuel Cost Adjustment
TVA calculates and applies the Fuel Cost Adjustment (FCA) Monthly as a charge to recover the costs of fuels used to generate electricity when those costs exceed what TVA budgeted. The FCA can also work in reverse - when TVA budgets more for fuel used to generate electricity than is actually spent, the FCA will be applied and subtracted from customers' bills.
The TVA board voted to start using the FCA as an effort to avoid using permanent rates hikes to offset temporary spikes in the cost of fuels used to generate electricity.
The FCA appears as a line item on the bills received by Volunteer Energy Cooperative (VEC) customers. The FCA is strictly a pass-through charge and VEC generates no additional revenue from it.
To calculate the impact the FCA will have on your total electric bill, multiply the number of KWh hours used by the FCA.
