Revenue from Contract with Customer [Abstract] |
OPERATING REVENUES | OPERATING REVENUES For more information about our operating revenues, see Note 1(d), Operating Revenues, in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Disaggregation of Operating Revenues The following tables present our operating revenues disaggregated by revenue source. We do not have any revenues associated with our electric transmission segment, which includes investments accounted for using the equity method. We disaggregate revenues into categories that depict how the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenues and cash flows are affected by economic factors. For our segments, revenues are further disaggregated by electric and natural gas operations and then by customer class. Each customer class within our electric and natural gas operations have different expectations of service, energy and demand requirements, and are impacted by regulatory activities within their jurisdictions.

Other Natural Gas Operating Revenues We have other natural gas operating revenues from Bluewater, which is in our non-utility energy infrastructure segment. Bluewater has entered into long-term service agreements for natural gas storage services with WE, WG, and WPS, and provides service to several unaffiliated customers. All amounts associated with services from affiliates have been eliminated at the consolidated level. Other Non-Utility Operating Revenues Other non-utility operating revenues consist primarily of the following:
|  | Three Months Ended September 30 |  | Nine Months Ended September 30
(in millions) |  | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
We Power revenues (1) |  | $ | 6.4 |  |  | $ | 6.4 |  |  | $ | 19.1 |  |  | $ | 19.0 |
Appliance service revenues |  | 4.2 |  |  | 4.0 |  |  | 12.5 |  |  | 11.8 |
Distributed renewable solar project revenues |  | 1.3 |  |  | 2.3 |  |  | 3.6 |  |  | 6.4 |

Total other non-utility operating revenues |  | $ | 16.8 |  |  | $ | 13.6 |  |  | $ | 52.3 |  |  | $ | 38.2 |
(1) | As part of the construction of the We Power electric generating units, we capitalized interest during construction, which is included in property, plant, and equipment. As allowed by the PSCW, we collected carrying costs from WE's utility customers during construction. The equity portion of these carrying costs was recorded as deferred revenue, net on our balance sheets and we continually amortize this contract liability to
revenues over the life of the related lease term that We Power has with WE. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, we recorded $6.4 million and $19.1 million of revenue, respectively, related to amortization of these deferred carrying costs. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, we recorded $6.4 million and $19.0 million of revenue, respectively, related to amortization of these deferred carrying costs.
(2) | In 2019, we continued to invest in wind generation facilities and recognize revenues from these wind generation facilities as energy is produced and delivered to the customer within the production month.
Other Operating Revenues Other operating revenues consist primarily of the following:
|  | Three Months Ended September 30 |  | Nine Months Ended September 30
(in millions) |  | 2019 |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2018
Alternative revenues * |  | $ | 1.4 |  |  | $ | (1.9 | ) |  | $ | (17.2 | ) |  | $ | (32.2 | )
Late payment charges |  | 9.7 |  |  | 9.4 |  |  | 34.9 |  |  | 31.9 |
Other |  | 9.3 |  |  | 0.5 |  |  | 29.9 |  |  | 3.7 |
Total other operating revenues |  | $ | 20.4 |  |  | $ | 8.0 |  |  | $ | 47.6 |  |  | $ | 3.4 |
* Negative amounts can result from alternative revenues being reversed to revenues from contracts with customers as the customer is billed for these alternative revenues. Negative amounts can also result from revenues to be refunded to customers subject to decoupling mechanisms and wholesale true-ups.
