Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]  
Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
We measure and classify fair value measurements in accordance with the hierarchy as defined by GAAP. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
•Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to liquidate as of the reporting date.
•Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
•Level 3 — unobservable inputs, such as internally developed pricing models or third-party valuations for the asset or liability due to little or no market activity for the asset or liability.
Fair Value of Financial Liabilities Recorded at Amortized Cost
The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of our long-term debt and SNF obligation as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We have no financial liabilities classified as Level 1. The carrying amounts of the short-term liabilities as presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are representative of their fair value (Level 2) because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Fair Value and Net Asset Value
Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair value and net asset value of the assets and liabilities are in accordance with the policies discussed in Note 17 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities of our 2024 Form 10-K.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements
The following table present assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

(a)CEG Parent has $38 million and $130 million of Level 1 cash equivalents as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. We exclude cash of $1,817 million and $2,924 million, and restricted cash of $77 million and $71 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. CEG Parent has excluded an additional $10 million and $4 million of cash as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
(b)Includes net liabilities of $162 million and $148 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively, which consist of receivables related to pending securities sales, interest and dividend receivables, repurchase agreement obligations, and payables related to pending securities purchases. The repurchase agreements are generally short-term in nature with durations generally of 30 days or less.
(c)Includes total NDT derivative assets and liabilities that are not material, which have notional amounts of $1,254 million and $1,119 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The notional principal amounts provide one measure of the transaction volume outstanding as of the periods ended and do not represent the amount of our exposure to credit or market loss.
As of March 31, 2025, our NDTs have outstanding commitments to invest in private credit, private equity, and real assets of $474 million, $286 million, and $621 million, respectively. These commitments will be funded by our existing NDT funds.
Equity Security Investments without Readily Determinable Fair Values. We hold investments without readily determinable fair values with carrying amounts of $186 million and $150 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Changes in fair value, cumulative adjustments, and impairments were not material for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and the year ended December 31, 2024.

(b)The fair values do not include cash collateral posted (received) on Level 3 positions of $203 million and $136 million as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The inputs listed above, which are as of the balance sheet date, would have a direct impact on the fair values of the above instruments if they were adjusted. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our commodity derivatives are forward commodity prices and for options is price volatility. Increases (decreases) in the forward commodity price in isolation would result in significantly higher (lower) fair values for long positions (contracts that give us the obligation or option to purchase a commodity), with offsetting impacts to short positions (contracts that give us the obligation or right to sell a commodity). Increases (decreases) in volatility would increase (decrease) the value for the holder of the option (writer of the option). Generally, a change in the estimate of forward commodity prices is unrelated to a change in the estimate of volatility of prices. An increase to the heat rate would increase the fair value accordingly. Generally, interrelationships exist between market prices of natural gas and power. As such, an increase in natural gas pricing would potentially have a similar impact on forward power markets.
