Segment Reporting Information [Line Items] |
Reportable Segments | Reportable SegmentsReportable segments consist of business units defined by the products and services they offer. CMS Energy and Consumers evaluate the performance of each segment based on its contribution to net income available to CMS Energy’s common stockholders. CMS Energy The segments reported for CMS Energy are: •electric utility, consisting of regulated activities associated with the generation, purchase, distribution, and sale of electricity in Michigan •gas utility, consisting of regulated activities associated with the purchase, transmission, storage, distribution, and sale of natural gas in Michigan •enterprises, consisting of various subsidiaries engaging in domestic independent power production, including the development and operation of renewable generation, and the marketing of independent power production In June 2021, CMS Energy entered into an agreement for EnerBank to merge with Regions Bank. The merger was completed on October 1, 2021. As a result, EnerBank is not included in the composition of CMS Energy’s reportable segments. EnerBank’s results of operations are presented as income from discontinued operations on CMS Energy’s consolidated statements of income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020. The assets and liabilities of EnerBank are presented as held for sale on CMS Energy’s consolidated balance sheets at September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. For information regarding the merger of EnerBank, see Note 13, Exit Activities and Discontinued Operations. CMS Energy presents corporate interest and other expenses, discontinued operations, and Consumers’ other consolidated entities within other reconciling items. Beginning in 2021, CMS Land, which holds the environmental remediation obligations at Bay Harbor, will be included within other reconciling items rather than within the enterprises segment. This change was not material and was made to align segment reporting with the legal organization and internal reporting of CMS Energy. Consumers The segments reported for Consumers are: •electric utility, consisting of regulated activities associated with the generation, purchase, distribution, and sale of electricity in Michigan •gas utility, consisting of regulated activities associated with the purchase, transmission, storage, distribution, and sale of natural gas in Michigan Consumers’ other consolidated entities are presented within other reconciling items.
