Revolving Credit Facility

We maintain a revolving credit facility to cover our short-term and medium-term funding needs that are not met by cash from operations or other available funds. The $400 million in aggregate commitments under this credit agreement mature on December 7, 2028, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the agreement. As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had outstanding under this facility $50.0 million and $65.0 million in borrowings, respectively.

Revenue Recognition

Our operating revenues are derived from sales of power and renewable energy credits to our member distribution cooperatives and non-members. We supply power requirements (energy and demand) to our eleven member distribution cooperatives subject to substantially identical wholesale power contracts with each of them. We bill our member distribution cooperatives monthly and each member distribution cooperative is required to pay us monthly for power furnished under its wholesale power contract. We transfer control of the electricity over time and our member distribution cooperatives simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the electricity. The amount we invoice our member distribution cooperatives on a monthly basis corresponds directly to the value to the member distribution cooperatives of our performance, which is determined by our formula rate included in the wholesale power contract. We sell excess energy and renewable energy credits to non-members at prevailing market prices as control is transferred.

ODEC sells excess purchased and generated energy not needed to meet the actual needs of our member distribution cooperatives to PJM, TEC, or other counterparties. Our financial statements represent the consolidated financial statements of ODEC and TEC and through the consolidation process, all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated and TEC’s sales are reflected as non-member revenues.

The rates we charge our member distribution cooperatives are regulated by FERC and FERC has granted us authority to charge our member distribution cooperatives utilizing a formula rate and market-based rates.
