Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract] |
Disposal Groups, Including Discontinued Operations, Disclosure [Text Block] | DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS Due to a portfolio evaluation in the first half of 2016, management decided to pursue a strategic shift to reduce the Company's exposure to the Brazilian distribution market. During 2017, Eletropaulo, the Company’s remaining distribution business in Brazil, met the criteria to qualify as a discontinued operation and its results of operations were reported as such. In June 2018, the Company completed the sale of its entire 17% ownership interest in Eletropaulo through a bidding process hosted by the Brazilian securities regulator, CVM. Gross proceeds of $340 million were received at our subsidiary in Brazil, subject to the payment of taxes. Upon disposal of Eletropaulo, the Company recorded a pre-tax gain on sale of $238 million (after-tax $196 million). Excluding the gain on sale, income from discontinued operations and cash flows from operating and investing activities of discontinued operations were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. Prior to its classification as discontinued operations, Eletropaulo was reported in the South America SBU reportable segment.
