Tennessee Valley Authority entered into a Third Amended and Restated September Maturity Credit Agreement providing access to up to $1,000,000,000 in loans or letters of credit. The facility, arranged with Royal Bank of Canada as administrative agent and several other major banks as lenders, runs until September 10, 2030, unless extended under the agreement’s terms. Borrowings carry a variable interest rate that depends on market conditions and the rating of TVA’s senior unsecured long-term non-credit enhanced debt. TVA will also pay an unused facility fee on any undrawn portion of the $1,000,000,000 and fees on any letters of credit, with both fee levels tied to TVA’s debt rating.
