Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract] |
Derivative Instruments | Derivative Instruments OTP enters into derivative instruments to manage its exposure to future commodity price variability and reduce volatility in prices for our retail electric customers. These derivative instruments are not designated as qualifying hedging transactions but provide for an economic hedge against future price variability. The instruments are recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets, with changes in fair value recorded in the consolidated statements of income. However, in accordance with rate-making and cost recovery processes, we recognize a regulatory asset or liability to defer losses or gains from derivative activity until settlement of the associated derivative instrument. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, OTP had outstanding pay-fixed, receive-variable swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of 295,000 and 263,400 megawatt-hours of electricity. The contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2022 had various settlement dates throughout 2023. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the fair value of these derivative instruments was $7.1 million, which is included in other current liabilities, and 6.2 million, which is included in other current assets, on the consolidated balance sheets. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, contracts matured and were settled in an aggregate amount of $1.0 million and $3.1 million.
