7. ENERGY EFFICIENCY LOOKS LIKE AN
INTERMEDIATE RESOURCE
• The variable shape over a majority of hours during the day
resembles the cycling nature of an intermediate resource like a
natural-gas combined cycle unit (NGCC)
• Benefits flow through to customers mainly as reduced fuel costs
• There are some on-peak impacts from DR (not shown) that are
similar to the contribution of a peaking resource (like at CT),
which flow through to customers as avoided capacity costs
7
Including EEDR in the resource
mix allows TVA to achieve load
following benefits without
exposure to fuel risk.
9. CAPACITY PLAN DIFFERENCES PRIMARILY INVOLVE
GAS-FIRED RESOURCES, BOTH CONTRACTED AND
SELF-BUILD
9
These charts plot the capacity additions for two expansion plans
Significant differences in these two schedules include:
1) Additional capacity purchases early in the plan
2) Combination of additional gas capacity (both simple and combined cycle),
which were selected as part of the least cost plan to replace lost contributions
of the EE/DR portfolio’s demand and energy benefits.
(Note—Capacity of EEDR portfolio is approximately 65% Energy Efficiency and 35% Demand Response)

10. PRESENT VALUE REVENUE REQUIREMENTS (PVRR)
AND CUSTOMER BILLS ARE SIGNIFICANTLY HIGHER
IN THE NO-EEDR PLAN ($1.77 BILLION MORE)
10
• Total PVRR/Rate Recovery is almost $1.77B higher than that of the FY2013
budget plan, at $67.2B compared to $65.4B—Cash flow positive
crossover in year 2016
• Variable costs, including potentially risky and volatile fuel-related energy
costs, are over $2.7B higher which offset any capital or fixed cost savings
• This cost comparison does not fully capture the value of the risk-reducing
properties embedded in EEDR programs that allow TVA to avoid significant
fuel-related price risks
13. KEY TAKEAWAY: ENERGY EFFICIENCY
KEEPS CUSTOMER COSTS LOW
13
• Results of System Planning analysis underscores contribution of
TVA’s current portfolio of EEDR programs in keeping customer
costs low
• On a system resource portfolio basis, the cumulative benefits to
customers of achieving our EE/DR targets amounts to $1.8 billion
(present value) with positive cash flow savings within three years
compared to a plan without this resource
…all of which flows through directly to
customers in the form of lower bills
14. KEY TAKEAWAY: ENERGY EFFICIENCY IS A
VALUABLE HEDGE AGAINST FUEL RISK AND
LOAD FORECAST UNCERTAINTY
14
• Including the EEDR programs in the power supply plan avoids
significant purchased power and new construction costs
• Also provides a very valuable hedge against fuel price risk and
load forecast uncertainty
• Without the planned EEDR portfolio:
TVA will need to negotiate a 10 year power purchase
agreement in the very near term
Construct simple cycle combustion turbines sooner, with
an additional CT and a new CC being constructed in the
10 year time horizon, both of which add to capital costs

23. WHY ENERGY EFFICIENCY?
23
Because it’s cheap.
Energy-efficient products and practices reduce energy costs
and improve productivity without sacrificing convenience or comfort.
Because it’s quick.
Energy efficiency can be deployed immediately
to meet demand while emerging energy resources can
take years to develop and implement.
Because it’s clean.
Energy efficiency – doing the same with less –
leaves no environmental footprint.
