Leases [Abstract] |
Lessor, Operating Leases [Text Block] | LESSOR — The Company has operating leases for certain generation contracts that contain provisions to provide capacity to a customer, which is a stand-ready obligation to deliver energy when required by the customer. Capacity payments are generally considered lease elements as they cover the majority of available output from a facility. The allocation of contract payments between the lease and non-lease elements is made at the inception of the lease. Lease payments from such contracts are recognized as lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term, whereas variable lease payments are recognized when earned. The following table presents lease revenue from operating leases in which the Company is the lessor for the periods indicated (in millions):
|  |  | Twelve Months Ended December 31,

Total Non-Variable Lease Revenue |  |  |  |  | $ | 514 |  |  | $ | 530 |
The following table presents the underlying gross assets and accumulated depreciation of operating leases included in Property, Plant and Equipment for the periods indicated (in millions):

Accumulated Depreciation |  | 1,011 |  |  | 707 |

The option to extend or terminate a lease is based on customary early termination provisions in the contract, such as payment defaults, bankruptcy, and lack of performance on energy delivery. The Company has not recognized any early terminations as of December 31, 2020. Certain leases may provide for variable lease payments based on usage or index-based (e.g., the U.S. Consumer Price Index) adjustments to lease payments. The following table shows the future lease receipts as of December 31, 2020 for 2021 through 2025 and thereafter (in millions):

Battery Storage Lease Arrangements — The Company is constructing and operating projects that pair BESS with solar energy systems, which allows the project more flexibility on when to provide energy to the grid. The Company will enter into PPAs for the full output of the facility that allow customers the ability to determine when to charge and discharge the BESS. These arrangements include both lease and non-lease elements under ASC 842, with the BESS component constituting a sales-type lease. Upon commencement of the lease, the book value of the leased asset is removed from the balance sheet and a net investment in sales-type lease is recognized based on the present value of fixed payments under the contract and the residual value of the underlying asset. Due to the variable nature of lease payments under these contracts, the Company recorded losses at commencement of sales-type leases of $36 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. These amounts are recognized in Other expense in the Consolidated Statement of Operations. See Note 21—Other Income and Expense for further information. The Company recognized lease income on sales-type leases through variable payments of $5 million and interest income of $2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.
