-30 in the six months ended March 31, 2025 and Paradise CT Units 5-7 in the six months ended March 31, 2024, all of which was recognized in the three months ended December 31, 2023. 

TVA's two largest LPCs — Memphis Light, Gas and Water Division ("MLGW") and Nashville Electric Service ("NES") — have contracts with a five-year and a 20-year termination notice period, respectively.  Sales to MLGW and NES accounted for seven percent and eight percent, respectively, of TVA's total operating revenues for both the six months ended March 31, 2025 and the six months ended March 31, 2024.  

TVA's rate structure uses pricing signals to indicate seasons and hours of higher cost to serve its customers and to capture a portion of TVA's fixed costs in fixed charges.  The structure includes three base revenue components: time of use demand charges, time of use energy charges, and a grid access charge ("GAC").  The demand charges are based upon the customer's peak monthly usage.  The energy charges are based on time differentiated kWh used by the customer.  Both of these components can be significantly impacted by weather.  The GAC captures a portion of fixed costs and is offset by a corresponding reduction to the energy rates.  The GAC also reduces the impact of weather variability to the overall rate structure.

TVA has a Partnership Agreement option that better aligns the length of LPC power contracts with TVA's long-term commitments.  Under the partnership arrangement, the LPC power contracts automatically renew each year and have a 20-year termination notice.  The partnership arrangements can be terminated under certain circumstances, including TVA's failure to limit rate increases to no more than 10 percent during any consecutive five-fiscal-year period, as more specifically described in the

agreements.  Participating LPCs receive benefits including a 3.1 percent wholesale bill credit in exchange for their long-term commitment, which enables TVA to recover its long-term financial commitments over a commensurate period.  As of March 31, 2025, 148 LPCs had signed the 20-year Partnership Agreement with TVA.

In addition to base revenues, the rate structure includes a separate fuel rate that includes the costs of natural gas, fuel oil, purchased power, coal, emission allowances, nuclear fuel, and other fuel-related commodities; realized gains and losses on derivatives purchased to hedge the costs
