TVA董事会诺克斯维尔开会 130亿美元资本计划与300亿美元举债上限成焦点
田纳西河流域管理局（TVA）11月10日在诺克斯维尔召开今年最后一次季度董事会议，盘点财务状况。这家总部设在诺克斯维尔、服务七个州的联邦公共电力公司，正谋划建设先进核反应堆，两项国际贸易协议与一项可能修改联邦法律的谈判，或将为其缓解资金压力。今年夏天，日本承诺为田纳西州与北阿拉巴马州的核电项目投资400亿美元，两地都是TVA供电区，也是小型模块化反应堆的潜在选址；TVA负责人还与联邦政府商讨如何利用韩国1200亿美元的核能投资，田纳西州有望入选，特朗普政府计划在年底前决定选址。TVA表示，到2029年将投入130亿美元资本开支，但联邦法律多年前设定的300亿美元举债上限已近在眼前，新核电站等昂贵项目会让债务进一步逼近上限，TVA正推动修法提高上限，国际投资可暂时缓解成本压力。本次会议也可能是两名董事的最后一次会议：两人预计明年1月离任，补位提名人选参议院九个月来未确认。若无人补位，董事会将重回2025年大部分时间的状态：因达不到法定人数而无法处理这家约一万名员工机构的常规事务。董事会负责批准预算、电价与政策，TVA的资金来自用电户而非纳税人。
TVA Board Meets in Knoxville as $13 Billion Capital Plan and $30 Billion Debt Cap Take Focus
The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) held its final quarterly board meeting of the year in Knoxville on November 10 to review its finances. The federal public power company, headquartered in Knoxville and serving seven states, is planning to build advanced nuclear reactors, and two international trade agreements plus a possible change to federal law could ease its funding pressure. Over the summer, Japan committed $40 billion to nuclear projects in Tennessee and northern Alabama — both inside TVA’s service territory and potential sites for small modular reactors — and TVA officials have also discussed with the federal government how to use South Korea’s $120 billion nuclear investment, with Tennessee a possible selection; the Trump administration plans to decide sites by the end of the year. TVA says it will invest $13 billion in capital spending through 2029, but the $30 billion debt ceiling set by federal law years ago is now within sight, and costly projects such as new nuclear plants would push debt closer to the cap; TVA is seeking legislation to raise it, while international investment can relieve cost pressure in the meantime. The meeting may also be the last for two directors, who are expected to leave in January while their replacements have gone unconfirmed by the Senate for nine months. Without replacements, the board would return to its state for much of 2025: unable to handle routine business for the roughly 10,000-employee authority for lack of a quorum. The board approves budgets, power rates and policy, and TVA is funded by electricity customers, not taxpayers.
