Estimated Effect of Eliminating TVA Electricity Demand Charges on the Price of Enriched Uranium

Pursuant to a congressional request, GAO reviewed the estimated effect of eliminating the Tennessee Valley Authority's (TVA) demand charges for power not taken on the price of the Department of Energy's (DOE) uranium enrichment services. Under the terms of its contract with TVA, DOE can take less power than in the agreement, but it must pay a demand charge for power under contract but not taken.
