Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Nonrecurring Basis, Valuation Techniques | The following table describes the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs utilized for the fair value of our Level 3 power derivative contract assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023:
|  |  | Fair Value |  |  |  | Weighted Average(b) |
| Commodity |  | Assets |  | Liabilities | Valuation Technique(s) | Unobservable Input(a) | Range |
2024 | Power(c) | $ | 15 | $ | (62) | Discounted cash flow | Average forward peak and off-peak pricing – forwards/swaps ($/MWh) | 33 – 70 | 43 |
|  |  |  |  |  |  | Nodal basis ($/MWh) | (10) – (1) | (5) |
2023 | Power(c) | $ | 5 | $ | (69) | Discounted cash flow | Average forward peak and off-peak pricing – forwards/swaps ($/MWh) | 31 – 65 | 43 |
|  |  |  |  |  |  | Nodal basis ($/MWh) | (8) – (1) | (5) |
(a)Generally, significant increases (decreases) in these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement. (b)Unobservable inputs were weighted by relative fair value. (c)Valuations use visible forward prices adjusted for nodal-to-hub basis differentials.
