Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | NOTE 5. LE ASES In March 2023, the Company entered into an agreement with Rathdrum Power, LLC (Rathdrum) amending and restating a PPA for the output of the Lancaster plant, a 270 MW natural gas-fired combined cycle combustion turbine. The restated PPA meets the definition of a lease, and all payments are variable in nature, based on capacity, usage or performance of the plant. Therefore, there is no lease obligation or corresponding ROU asset recorded by the Company. The Company previously had a variable interest in Rathdrum through the PPA, but did not consider itself the primary beneficiary of the entity. As a result of entering the amended and restated PPA, the Company reconsidered whether Rathdrum is a variable interest entity, concluding Rathdrum no longer meets the definition of a variable interest entity. This conclusion does not materially impact the Company's financial statements.
