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, specifically future wholesale energy and natural gas prices, 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, 2023 and 2022 OTP had outstanding pay-fixed, receive-variable swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of 187,400 and 295,000 megawatt-hours of electricity. The contracts outstanding as of December 31, 2023 had various settlement dates throughout 2024. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the fair value of these derivative instruments was $4.2 million and $7.1 million, which are included in other current liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, contracts matured and were settled in an aggregate amount of a $16.5 million loss and a $1.0 million gain, respectively. Gains and losses recognized on the settlement of derivative instruments are returned to, or recovered from, our electric customers through fuel recovery mechanisms in each state. When recognized in the statement of income, these gains or losses are included in electric purchased power
