SEGMENT INFORMATION
SEGMENT INFORMATION

At June 30, 2018, we reported six segments, which are described below.

The Wisconsin segment includes the electric and natural gas utility operations of WE, WG, WPS, and UMERC.

The Illinois segment includes the natural gas utility and non-utility operations of PGL and NSG.

The other states segment includes the natural gas utility and non-utility operations of MERC and MGU.

The electric transmission segment includes our approximate 60% ownership interest in ATC, a for-profit, transmission-only company regulated by the FERC for cost of service and certain state regulatory commissions for routing and siting of transmission projects, and our approximate 75% ownership interest in ATC Holdco, which invests in transmission-related projects outside of ATC's traditional footprint.

The non-utility energy infrastructure segment includes We Power, which owns and leases generating facilities to WE, and Bluewater, which owns underground natural gas storage facilities in Michigan that provide approximately one-third of the current storage needs for our Wisconsin natural gas utilities.

The corporate and other segment includes the operations of the WEC Energy Group holding company, the Integrys holding company, the Peoples Energy, LLC holding company, Wispark LLC, Bostco, Wisvest LLC, Wisconsin Energy Capital Corporation, WBS, and PDL. In the first quarter of 2017, we sold substantially all of the remaining assets of Bostco. See Note 3, Disposition, for more information on this sale.

All of our operations are located within the United States. The following tables show summarized financial information related to our reportable segments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:
