If the sale was made to a private entity, it would be a win-win for the government. They would receive the sale proceeds immediately and then tax the operation into oblivion.
As-is, the TVA ought to be self-sustaining (unlike the US Postal Service) with the ability to generate monthly revenue. I believe that public utilities should remain in the hands of the government to keep safeguards in place for price hikes.
