Disaggregation of revenue

We have four reportable segments: Solid Fuel, Natural Gas, Hydroelectric and Corporate. We revised our reportable business segments in the fourth quarter of 2019 as the result of recent asset acquisitions, PPA expirations and project decommissioning, and in order to align with changes to management’s structure, resource allocation and performance assessment in making decisions regarding our operations. Segment information for the comparative 2019 period has been revised to conform to the new segment presentation. Each segment contains various power generation projects and performance obligations. For more detailed information about reportable segments, see Note 12, Segment and geographical information. Revenue by segment consists of the following:
