Depreciation Rates Background: –Historically, TVA has recommended depreciation for the following five accounts: 364- Poles, Towers, and Fixtures 365-Overhead Conductors and Devices 368-Line Transformers 369-Services 370-Meters –TVA has not updated depreciation rates recently. –General plant rates are determined by the LPC according to their policies. For example, if trucks are replaced every 5 years, a depreciation rate of 20% may be used. –Many questions have arisen about what depreciation rates to use for AMI meters. 5

AMI Meter Depreciation TVA recommends that LPC’s check with their auditor and/or the meter manufacturer to determine the useful life of the meter. As a guideline, many LPC’s are using between 8-15 years. The depreciation rate for standard meters was between years. Process for updating depreciation –Notify TVA that you wish to update your depreciation rate for Account 370. –TVA will not have an issue if the rate seems reasonable. –Footnote the new depreciation rate on your Annual Report. 6

GASB 68 (Pensions) 7 Overview: The accounting for defined benefit pensions for governmental entities will now be similar to that of “for profit” entities. In addition to the revised accounting method, it will require extensive footnotes and supplemental information be provided in the financials. Does this effect my LPC? –GASB 68 will apply to some of the TVA municipal LPC’s – Multi-employer plans (i.e. CERS in KY and similar plans in other states) External Auditors & Actuarial Study TVA Guidance
