(4)  Purchased power (natural gas and/or oil-fired) includes generation from Caledonia Combined Cycle Plant ("Caledonia CC"), which is currently a leased facility operated by TVA.  Generation from Caledonia CC was 1,238 million kWh and 910 million kWh for the three months ended December 31, 2024, and three months ended December 31, 2023, respectively.

(5)  Purchased power (other renewables) includes purchased power from the following renewable sources: solar, wind, biomass, and renewable cogeneration.  TVA acquires Renewable Energy Certificates ("RECs") in connection with certain purchased power transactions and sells some of these RECs to customers. 

In addition to power supply sources included here, TVA offers energy efficiency programs that effectively reduce energy needs.  In 2025, TVA expects to invest $104 million on its energy efficiency programs and anticipates approximately 345 gigawatt hours of net incremental energy efficiency savings.
