Pricing program | Customers with access | Customers enrolled | Description |
---|---|---|---|
Flat Rate | 15,156 | 15,156 | A Flat rate is offered until TVA allows for a TOU pricing structure under the wholesale power supply contract with TSEMC |
Prepay | 15,156 | 735 | Pre-Pay pricing is the same rate as the flat rate we have now. It allows customers to pay as they use power. It reflects the same charges, but does not require a deposit to set up the account. The customer must maintain a credit balance at all times. If a credit balance is not maintained power is disconnected until a credit balance is achieved through a payment. The customer is not charged a reconnect fee to get power restored once the credit balance is achieved |
* In some circumstances, costs are incurred before devices are installed resulting in a reported cost where the quantity is zero.
* All dollar figures are the total cost, which is the sum of the federal investment and cost share of the recipient (the recipient cost share must be at least 50% of the total overall project cost).
** In some cases the number of entities reporting is greater than the total number of projects funded by the Recovery Act because some projects have multiple sub-projects that report data. View list of sub-projects.
