Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policies) | 12 Months Ended
--- | ---
Dec. 31, 2018
Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Consolidation | Our Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP and include the accounts of all majority-owned subsidiaries that are not VIEs and all VIEs where we have determined we are the primary beneficiary. Intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Equity Method Investments | We use the equity method of accounting to record our net interests in VIEs where we have determined that we are not the primary beneficiary, which include Greenfield LP, a 50% partnership interest, Whitby, a 50% partnership interest and Calpine Receivables, a 100% membership interest. Our share of net income (loss) is calculated according to our equity ownership percentage or according to the terms of the applicable partnership agreement or limited liability company operating agreement. See Note 7 for further discussion of our VIEs and unconsolidated investments. We consolidate our VIEs where we determine that we have both the power to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and the obligation to absorb losses or receive benefits from the VIE. We have determined that we hold the obligation to absorb losses and receive benefits in almost all of our VIEs where we hold the majority equity interest. Therefore, our determination of whether to consolidate is based upon which variable interest holder has the power to direct the most significant activities of the VIE (the primary beneficiary). Our analysis includes consideration of the following primary activities which we believe to have a significant effect on a power plant’s financial performance: operations and maintenance, plant dispatch, and fuel strategy as well as our ability to control or influence contracting and overall plant strategy. Our approach to determining which entity holds the powers and rights is based on powers held as of the balance sheet date. Contractual terms that may change the powers held in future periods, such as a purchase or sale option, are not considered in our analysis. Based on our analysis, we believe that we hold the power and rights to direct the most significant activities for most of our majority-owned VIEs. Under our consolidation policy and under U.S. GAAP we also:
• | perform an ongoing reassessment each reporting period of whether we are the primary beneficiary of our VIEs; and
• | evaluate if an entity is a VIE and whether we are the primary beneficiary whenever any changes in facts and circumstances occur, such as contractual changes where the holders of the equity investment at risk, as a group, lose the power from voting rights or similar rights of those investments to direct the activities of a VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance or when there are other changes in the powers held by individual variable interest holders.
Reclassification, Policy [Policy Text Block] | We have reclassified certain prior period amounts for comparative purposes. These reclassifications did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
Jointly-Owned Plants | Certain of our subsidiaries own undivided interests in jointly-owned plants. These plants are maintained and operated pursuant to their joint ownership participation and operating agreements. We are responsible for our subsidiaries’ share of operating costs and direct expenses and include our proportionate share of the facilities and related revenues and direct expenses in these jointly-owned plants in the corresponding balance sheet and income statement captions of our Consolidated Financial Statements.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements | The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosures included in our Consolidated Financial Statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Derivatives | See Note 8 for disclosures regarding the fair value of our debt instruments and Note 9 for disclosures regarding the fair values of our derivative instruments and related margin deposits and certain of our cash balances. Our Senior Unsecured Notes, First Lien Term Loans, First Lien Notes, CCFC Term Loan and Corporate Revolving Facility are categorized as level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. Our project financing, notes payable and other debt instruments are categorized as level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. We do not have any debt instruments with fair value measurements categorized as level 1 within the fair value hierarchy. Cash Equivalents — Highly liquid investments which meet the definition of cash equivalents, primarily investments in money market accounts and other interest-bearing accounts, are included in both our cash and cash equivalents and our restricted cash on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Certain of our money market accounts invest in U.S. Treasury securities or other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. We do not have any cash equivalents invested in institutional prime money market funds which require use of a floating net asset value and are subject to liquidity fees and redemption restrictions. Certain of our cash equivalents are classified within level 1 of the fair value hierarchy. Derivatives — The primary factors affecting the fair value of our derivative instruments at any point in time are the volume of open derivative positions (MMBtu, MWh and $ notional amounts); changing commodity market prices, primarily for power and natural gas; our credit standing and that of our counterparties and customers for energy commodity derivatives; and prevailing interest rates for our interest rate hedging instruments. Prices for power and natural gas and interest rates are volatile, which can result in material changes in the fair value measurements reported in our financial statements in the future. We utilize market data, such as pricing services and broker quotes, and assumptions that we believe market participants would use in pricing our assets or liabilities including assumptions about the risks inherent to the inputs in the valuation technique. These inputs can be either readily observable, market corroborated or generally unobservable. The market data obtained from broker pricing services is evaluated to determine the nature of the quotes obtained and, where accepted as a reliable quote, used to validate our assessment of fair value. We use other qualitative assessments to determine the level of activity in any given market. We primarily apply the market approach and income approach for recurring fair value measurements and utilize what we believe to be the best available information. We utilize valuation techniques that seek to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We classify fair value balances based on the observability of those inputs. The fair value of our derivatives includes consideration of our credit standing, the credit standing of our counterparties and customers and the effect of credit enhancements, if any. We have also recorded credit reserves in the determination of fair value based on our expectation of how market participants would determine fair value. Such valuation adjustments are generally based on market evidence, if available, or our best estimate. Our level 1 fair value derivative instruments primarily consist of power and natural gas swaps, futures and options traded on the NYMEX or Intercontinental Exchange. Our level 2 fair value derivative instruments primarily consist of interest rate hedging instruments and OTC power and natural gas forwards for which market-based pricing inputs in the principal or most advantageous market are representative of executable prices for market participants. These inputs are observable at commonly quoted intervals for substantially the full term of the instruments. In certain instances, our level 2 derivative instruments may utilize models to measure fair value. These models are industry-standard models, including the Black-Scholes option-pricing model, that incorporate various assumptions, including quoted interest rates, correlation, volatility, as well as other relevant economic measures. Substantially all of these assumptions are observable in the marketplace throughout the full term of the instrument, can be derived from observable data or are supported by observable levels at which transactions are executed in the marketplace. Our level 3 fair value derivative instruments may consist of OTC power and natural gas forwards and options where pricing inputs are unobservable, as well as other complex and structured transactions primarily for the sale and purchase of power and natural gas to both wholesale counterparties and retail customers. Complex or structured transactions are tailored to our customers’ needs and can introduce the need for internally-developed model inputs which might not be observable in or corroborated by the market. When such inputs have a significant effect on the measurement of fair value, the instrument is categorized in level 3. Our valuation models may incorporate historical correlation information and extrapolate available broker and other information to future periods.
Concentrations of Credit Risk | Financial instruments that potentially subject us to credit risk consist of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable and derivative financial instruments. Certain of our cash and cash equivalents, as well as our restricted cash balances, are invested in money market accounts with investment banks that are not FDIC insured. We place our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash in what we believe to be creditworthy financial institutions and certain of our money market accounts invest in U.S. Treasury securities or other obligations issued or guaranteed by the U.S. Government, its agencies or instrumentalities. Additionally, we actively monitor the credit risk of our counterparties and customers, including our receivable, commodity and derivative transactions. Our accounts and notes receivable are concentrated within entities engaged in the energy industry, mainly within the U.S. We generally have not collected collateral for accounts receivable from utilities and end-user customers; however, we may require collateral in the future. For financial and commodity derivative counterparties and customers, we evaluate the net accounts receivable, accounts payable and fair value of commodity contracts and may require security deposits, cash margin or letters of credit to be posted if our exposure reaches a certain level or their credit rating declines. Our counterparties and customers primarily consist of four categories of entities who participate in the energy markets:
• | financial institutions and trading companies;
• | regulated utilities, municipalities, cooperatives, ISOs and other retail power suppliers;
• | oil, natural gas, chemical and other energy-related industrial companies; and
• | commercial, industrial and residential retail customers.
We have concentrations of credit risk with a few of our wholesale counterparties and retail customers relating to our sales of power and steam and our hedging, optimization and trading activities. For example, our wholesale business currently has contracts with investor owned California utilities which could be affected should they be found liable for recent wildfires in California and, accordingly, incur substantial costs associated with the wildfires. On January 29, 2019, PG&E and PG&E Corporation each filed voluntary petitions for relief under Chapter 11. We currently have several power plants that provide energy and energy-related products to PG&E under PPAs, many of which have PG&E collateral posting requirements. Since the bankruptcy filing, we have received all material payments under the PPAs, either directly or through the application of collateral. We also currently have numerous other agreements with PG&E related to the operation of our power plants in Northern California, under which PG&E has continued to provide service since its bankruptcy filing. We cannot predict the ultimate outcome of this matter and continue to monitor the bankruptcy proceedings. We have exposure to trends within the energy industry, including declines in the creditworthiness of our counterparties and customers for our commodity and derivative transactions. Currently, certain of our counterparties and customers within the energy industry have below investment grade credit ratings. Our risk control group manages counterparty and customer credit risk and monitors our net exposure with each counterparty or customer on a daily basis. The analysis is performed on a mark-to-market basis using forward curves. The net exposure is compared against a credit risk threshold which is determined based on each counterparties’ and customer’s credit rating and evaluation of their financial statements. We utilize these thresholds to determine the need for additional collateral or restriction of activity with the counterparty or customer. We believe that our credit policies and portfolio of transactions adequately monitor and diversify our credit risk. Currently, our wholesale counterparties and retail customers are performing and financially settling timely according to their respective agreements with the exception of certain retail customers where our credit exposure is not material.
Cash and Cash Equivalents | We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. We have cash and cash equivalents held in non-corporate accounts relating to certain project finance facilities and lease agreements that require us to establish and maintain segregated cash accounts. These accounts have been pledged as security in favor of the lenders under such project finance facilities, and the use of certain cash balances on deposit in such accounts is limited, at least temporarily, to the operations of the respective projects.
Restricted Cash | Certain of our debt agreements, lease agreements or other operating agreements require us to establish and maintain segregated cash accounts, the use of which is restricted, making these cash funds unavailable for general use. These amounts are held by depository banks in order to comply with the contractual provisions requiring reserves for payments such as for debt service, rent and major maintenance or with applicable regulatory requirements. Funds that can be used to satisfy obligations due during the next 12 months are classified as current restricted cash, with the remainder classified as non-current restricted cash. Restricted cash is generally invested in accounts earning market rates; therefore, the carrying value approximates fair value. Such cash is excluded from cash and cash equivalents on our Consolidated Balance Sheets
Business Interruption Proceeds [Policy Text Block] | We record business interruption insurance proceeds when they are realizable and recorded approximately $14 million, $27 million and $24 million of business interruption proceeds in operating revenues for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017, and 2016, respectively.
Accounts Receivable and Payable | Accounts receivable and payable represent amounts due from customers and owed to vendors, respectively. Accounts receivable are recorded at invoiced amounts, net of reserves and allowances, and do not bear interest. Receivable balances greater than 30 days past due are reviewed for collectability, depending upon the nature of the customer, and if deemed uncollectible, are charged off against the allowance account after all means of collection have been exhausted and the potential for recovery is considered remote. We use our best estimate to determine the required allowance for doubtful accounts based on a variety of factors, including the length of time receivables are past due, economic trends and conditions affecting our customer base, significant one-time events and historical write-off experience. Specific provisions are recorded for individual receivables when we become aware of a customer’s inability to meet its financial obligations. The accounts receivable and payable balances also include settled but unpaid amounts relating to our marketing, hedging and optimization activities. Some of these receivables and payables with individual counterparties are subject to master netting arrangements whereby we legally have a right of offset and settle the balances net. However, for balance sheet presentation purposes and to be consistent with the way we present the majority of amounts related to marketing, hedging and optimization activities on our Consolidated Statements of Operations, we present our receivables and payables on a gross basis. We do not have any significant off balance sheet credit exposure related to our customers.
Inventory | Inventory primarily consists of spare parts, stored natural gas and fuel oil, environmental products and natural gas exchange imbalances. Inventory, other than spare parts, is stated primarily at the lower of cost or net realizable value under the weighted average cost method. Spare parts inventory is valued at weighted average cost and is expensed to operating and maintenance expense or capitalized to property, plant and equipment as the parts are utilized and consumed.
Collateral | We use margin deposits, prepayments and letters of credit as credit support with and from our counterparties and customers for commodity procurement and risk management activities. In addition, we have granted additional first priority liens on the assets previously subject to first priority liens under our First Lien Notes, First Lien Term Loans and Corporate Revolving Facility as collateral under certain of our power and natural gas agreements. These agreements qualify as “eligible commodity hedge agreements” under our First Lien Notes, First Lien Term Loans and Corporate Revolving Facility. The first priority liens have been granted in order to reduce the cash collateral and letters of credit that we would otherwise be required to provide to our counterparties under such agreements. The counterparties under such agreements would share the benefits of the collateral subject to such first priority liens ratably with the lenders under our First Lien Notes, First Lien Term Loans and Corporate Revolving Facility. Certain of our interest rate hedging instruments relate to hedges of certain of our project financings collateralized by first priority liens on the underlying assets. See Note 11 for a further discussion on our amounts and use of collateral.
Property, Plant and Equipment, Net | Property, plant, and equipment items are recorded at cost. We capitalize costs incurred in connection with the construction of power plants, the development of geothermal properties and the refurbishment of major turbine generator equipment. When capital improvements to leased power plants meet our capitalization criteria, they are capitalized as leasehold improvements and amortized over the shorter of the term of the lease or the economic life of the capital improvement. We expense maintenance when the service is performed for work that does not meet our capitalization criteria. Our current capital expenditures at our Geysers Assets are those incurred for proven reserves and reservoir replenishment (primarily water injection), pipeline and power generation assets and drilling of “development wells” as all drilling activity has been performed within the known boundaries of the steam reservoir. We have capitalized costs incurred during ownership consisting of additions, certain replacements or repairs when the repairs appreciably extend the life, increase the capacity or improve the efficiency or safety of the property. Such costs are expensed when they do not meet the above criteria. We purchased our Geysers Assets as a proven steam reservoir and all well costs, except well workovers and routine repairs and maintenance, have been capitalized since our purchase date. We depreciate our assets under the straight-line method over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or lease term. For our natural gas-fired power plants, we assume an estimated salvage value which approximates 10% of the depreciable cost basis where we own the power plant or have a favorable option to purchase the power plant or take ownership of the power plant at conclusion of the lease term and a de mininimis amount of the depreciable costs basis for componentized equipment. For our Geysers Assets, we typically assume no salvage values. We use the component depreciation method for our natural gas-fired power plant rotable parts, certain componentized balance of plant parts and our information technology equipment and the composite depreciation method for the other natural gas-fired power plant asset groups and Geysers Assets. Generally, upon normal retirement of assets under the composite depreciation method, the costs of such assets are retired against accumulated depreciation and no gain or loss is recorded. For the retirement of assets under the component depreciation method, generally, the costs and related accumulated depreciation of such assets are removed from our Consolidated Balance Sheets and any gain or loss is recorded as operating and maintenance expense.
Goodwill and Intangible Assets, Policy [Policy Text Block] | Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the net assets acquired at the time of an acquisition. We assess the carrying amount of our goodwill annually during the third quarter and whenever the events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable. During the first quarter of 2018, we altered the composition of our segments to report the results associated with our retail business as a separate segment. This change reflects the manner in which our segment information is presented internally to our chief operating decision maker associated with the strategic utilization of our retail business subsequent to the consummation of the Merger. Thus, beginning in the first quarter of 2018, our geographic reportable segments for our wholesale business are West (including geothermal), Texas and East (including Canada) and we have a separate reportable segment for our retail business. As our goodwill resulted from the acquisition of our retail business over the last several years, our goodwill balance of $242 million was allocated to our Retail segment in connection with the change in segment presentation. We did not record any changes in the carrying amount of our goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2018. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded goodwill of $49 million associated with our acquisition of North American Power and recorded $6 million in purchase price adjustments. We record intangible assets, such as acquired contracts, customer relationships and trademark and trade name at their estimated fair values at acquisition. We use all information available to estimate fair values including quoted market prices, if available, and other widely accepted valuation techniques. Certain estimates and judgments are required in the application of the techniques used to measure fair value of our intangible assets, including estimates of future cash flows, selling prices, replacement costs, economic lives and the selection of a discount rate, which are not observable in the market and represent a Level 3 measurement. All recognized intangible assets consist of contractual rights and obligations with finite lives.
Impairment Evaluation of Long-Lived Assets (Including Intangibles and Investments) | We evaluate our long-lived assets, such as property, plant and equipment, equity method investments and definite-lived intangible assets for impairment, when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Equipment assigned to each power plant is not evaluated for impairment separately; instead, we evaluate our operating power plants and related equipment as a whole unit. When we believe an impairment condition may have occurred, we are required to estimate the undiscounted future cash flows associated with a long-lived asset or group of long-lived assets at the lowest level for which identifiable cash flows are largely independent of the cash flows of other assets and liabilities for long-lived assets that are expected to be held and used. We use a fundamental long-term view of the power market which is based on long-term production volumes, price curves and operating costs together with the regulatory and environmental requirements within each individual market to prepare our multi-year forecast. Since we manage and market our power sales as a portfolio rather than at the individual power plant level or customer level within each designated market, pool or segment, we group our power plants based upon the corresponding market for valuation purposes. If we determine that the undiscounted cash flows from an asset or group of assets to be held and used are less than the associated carrying amount, or if we have classified an asset as held for sale, we must estimate fair value to determine the amount of any impairment loss. We test goodwill and all intangible assets not subject to amortization for impairments at least annually, or more frequently whenever an event or change in circumstances occurs that would more likely than not reduce the fair value of a reporting unit below its carrying amount. We test goodwill for impairment at the reporting unit level, which is identified one level below the Company’s operating segments for which discrete financial information is available and management regularly reviews the operating results. We perform an annual impairment assessment in the third quarter of each year, or more frequently if indicators of potential impairment exist, to determine whether it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit in which goodwill resides is less than its carrying value. For reporting units in which this assessment concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value is more than its carrying value, goodwill is not considered impaired and we are not required to perform the goodwill impairment test. Qualitative factors considered in this assessment include industry and market considerations, overall financial performance, and other relevant events and factors affecting the reporting unit. For reporting units in which the impairment assessment concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value is less than its carrying value, we perform the goodwill impairment test, which compares the fair value of the reporting unit to its carrying value. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds the carrying value of the net assets assigned to that unit, goodwill is not considered impaired and we are not required to perform additional analysis. If the carrying value of the net assets assigned to the reporting unit exceeds the fair value of the reporting unit, then we record an impairment loss equal to the difference not to exceed the goodwill balance assigned to the reporting unit. We did not record an impairment of our goodwill during the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016. All construction and development projects are reviewed for impairment whenever there is an indication of potential reduction in fair value. If it is determined that a construction or development project is no longer probable of completion and the capitalized costs will not be recovered through future operations, the carrying value of the project will be written down to its fair value. In order to estimate future cash flows, we consider historical cash flows, existing contracts, capacity prices and PPAs, changes in the market environment and other factors that may affect future cash flows. To the extent applicable, the assumptions we use are consistent with forecasts that we are otherwise required to make (for example, in preparing our earnings forecasts). The use of this method involves inherent uncertainty. We use our best estimates in making these evaluations and consider various factors, including forward price curves for power and fuel costs and forecasted operating costs. However, actual future market prices and project costs could vary from the assumptions used in our estimates, and the effect of such variations could be material. When we determine that our assets meet the assets held-for-sale criteria, they are reported at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less the cost to sell. We are also required to evaluate our equity method investments to determine whether or not they are impaired when the value is considered an “other than a temporary” decline in value. Generally, fair value will be determined using valuation techniques such as the present value of expected future cash flows. We will also discount the estimated future cash flows associated with the asset using a single interest rate representative of the risk involved with such an investment including contract terms, tenor and credit risk of counterparties. We may also consider prices of similar assets, consult with brokers, or employ other valuation techniques. We use our best estimates in making these evaluations and consider various factors, including forward price curves for power and fuel costs and forecasted operating costs. However, actual future market prices and project costs could vary from the assumptions used in our estimates, and the effect of such variations could be material.
Asset Retirement Obligation | We record all known asset retirement obligations for which the liability’s fair value can be reasonably estimated. Over time, the liability is accreted to its present value each period and the capitalized cost is depreciated over the useful life of the related asset. At December 31, 2018 and 2017, our asset retirement obligation liabilities were $63 million and $43 million, respectively, primarily relating to land leases upon which our power plants are built and the requirement that the property meet specific conditions upon its return.
Debt Issuance Costs | Costs incurred related to the issuance of debt instruments are deferred and amortized over the term of the related debt using a method that approximates the effective interest rate method. However, when the timing of debt transactions involve contemporaneous exchanges of cash between us and the same creditor(s) in connection with the issuance of a new debt obligation and satisfaction of an existing debt obligation, debt issuance costs are accounted for depending on whether the transaction qualifies as an extinguishment or modification, which requires us to either write-off the original debt issuance costs and capitalize the new issuance costs, or continue to amortize the original debt issuance costs and immediately expense the new issuance costs. Our debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability, which is consistent with the presentation of debt discounts.
Revenue Recognition | Our operating revenues are comprised of the following:
• | power and steam revenue consisting of fixed and variable capacity payments, which are not related to generation including capacity payments received from RTO and ISO capacity auctions, variable payments for power and steam, which are related to generation, retail power revenues, host steam and RECs from our Geysers Assets, other revenues such as RMR Contracts, resource adequacy and certain ancillary service revenues and realized settlements from our marketing, hedging, optimization and trading activities;
• | mark-to-market revenues from derivative instruments as a result of our marketing, hedging, optimization and trading activities; and
• | sales of natural gas and other service revenues.
See Note 4 for further information related to our accounting for revenue from contracts with customers. Realized Settlements of Commodity Derivative Instruments — The realized value of power commodity sales and purchase contracts that are net settled or settled as gross sales and purchases, but could have been net settled, are reflected on a net basis and are included in Commodity revenue on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Mark-to-Market Gain (Loss) — The changes in the mark-to-market value of power-based commodity derivative instruments are reflected on a net basis as a separate component of operating revenues. Gross vs. Net Accounting — We determine whether the financial statement presentation of revenues should be on a gross or net basis. Where we act as principal, we record settlement of our physical commodity contracts on a gross or net basis dependent upon whether the contract results in physical delivery of the underlying product. With respect to our physical executory contracts, where we do not take title to the commodities but receive a variable payment to convert natural gas into power and steam in a tolling operation, we record revenues on a net basis. Energy and Other Products Variable payments for power and steam that are based on generation, including retail sales of power, are recognized over time as the underlying commodity is generated and control is transferred to our customer upon transmission and delivery. Ancillary service revenues are also included within energy-related revenues and are recognized over time as the service is provided. For our power, steam and ancillary service contracts, we have elected the practical expedient that allows us to recognize revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice to the extent we determine that we have a right to consideration in an amount that corresponds directly with the value provided to date. To the extent this practical expedient cannot be utilized, we will recognize revenue over time based on the quantity of the commodity delivered to the customer for power and steam sales and over time as the service is provided for our ancillary service sales. Energy and other revenues also includes revenues generated from the sale of natural gas and environmental products, including RECs and are recognized at either a point in time or over time when control of the commodity has transferred. Revenues from the sale of RECs are primarily related to credits that are generated upon generation of renewable power from our Geysers Assets and are recognized over a period of time similar to the timing of the related energy sale. Revenues from sales of RECs or other environmental products that are not generated from our assets are recognized once all certifications have been completed and the credits are delivered to the customer at a point in time. Revenues from our natural gas sales are recognized at a point in time when delivery of the natural gas is provided. Revenues from natural gas and emission product sales are generally at the contracted transaction price, which may be fixed or index-based. Capacity Capacity revenues include fixed and variable capacity payments, which are based on generation volumes and include capacity payments received from RTO and ISO capacity auctions as well as contractual capacity under long-term PPAs. For these contracts, we have elected the practical expedient that allows us to recognize revenue in the amount to which we have the right to invoice to the extent we determine that we have a right to consideration in an amount that corresponds directly with the value provided to date. To the extent this practical expedient cannot be utilized, we will recognize revenue over time as the service is being provided to the customer. Performance Obligations and Contract Balances Certain of our contracts have multiple performance obligations. The revenues associated with each individual performance obligation is based on the relative stand-alone sales price of each good or service or, when not available, is based on a cost incurred plus margin approach. For a significant portion of our contracts with multiple performance obligations, management has applied the practical expedient that results in recognition of revenue commensurate with the invoiced amount and no allocation is required as all performance obligations are transferred over the same period of time. Certain of our contracts include volumetric optionality based on our customer’s needs. The transaction price within these contracts are based on a stand-alone sale price of the good or service being provided and revenue is recognized based on our customer’s usage. On a monthly basis, revenue is recognized based on estimated or actual usage by our customer at the transaction price. To the extent estimated usage is used in the recognition of revenue, revenues are adjusted for actual usage once known; however, this adjustment is not material to the revenues recognized. Generally, we have applied the practical expedient that allows us to recognize revenue based on the invoiced amount for these contracts. Changes in estimates for our contracts are not material and revisions to estimates are recognized when the amounts can be reasonably estimated. Unbilled retail sales are based upon estimates of customer usage since the date of the last meter reading provided by the ISOs or electric distribution companies by applying the estimated revenue per KWh by customer class to the estimated number of KWhs delivered but not yet billed. Estimated amounts are adjusted when actual usage is known and billed. During the year ended December 31, 2018, there were no significant changes to revenue amounts recognized in prior periods as a result of a change in estimates. Sales and other taxes we collect concurrent with revenue-producing activities are excluded from our operating revenues. Billing requirements for our wholesale customers generally result in billing customers on a monthly basis in the month following the delivery of the good or service. Once billed, payment is generally required within 20 days resulting in payment for the delivery of the good or service in the month following delivery of the good or service. Billing requirements for our retail customers are generally once every 30 days and may result in billed amounts relating to our retail customers extending up to 60 days. Based on the terms of our agreements, payment is generally received at or shortly after delivery of the good or service. Changes in accounts receivable relating to our customers is primarily due to the timing difference between payment and when the good or service is provided. During the year ended December 31, 2018, there were no significant changes in accounts receivable other than normal billing and collection transactions and there were no material credit or impairment losses recognized relating to accounts receivable balances associated with contracts with customers. When we receive consideration from a customer prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a contract, we record deferred revenue, which represents a contract liability. Such deferred revenue typically results from consideration received prior to the transfer of goods and services relating to our capacity contracts and the sale of RECs that are not generated from our power plants. Based on the nature of these contracts and the timing between when consideration is received and delivery of the good or service is provided, these contracts do not contain any material financing elements.
Lease, Policy | Revenue from contracts accounted for as operating leases, such as certain tolling agreements, with minimum lease rentals (capacity payments) which vary over time must be levelized. Generally, we levelize these contract revenues on a straight-line basis over the term of the contract. We apply lease accounting to contracts that meet the definition of a lease and accrual accounting treatment to those contracts that are either exempt from derivative accounting or do not meet the definition of a derivative instrument.
Accounting for Derivative Instruments | We enter into a variety of derivative instruments including both exchange traded and OTC power and natural gas forwards, options as well as instruments that settle on the power price to natural gas price relationships (Heat Rate swaps and options) and interest rate hedging instruments. We recognize all derivative instruments that qualify for derivative accounting treatment as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value unless they qualify for and are designated under the normal purchase normal sale exemption. Accounting for derivatives at fair value requires us to make estimates about future prices during periods for which price quotes may not be available from sources external to us, in which case we rely on internally developed price estimates. See Note 10 for further discussion on our accounting for derivatives. Accounting for Derivative Instruments We recognize all derivative instruments that qualify for derivative accounting treatment as either assets or liabilities and measure those instruments at fair value unless they qualify for, and we elect, the normal purchase normal sale exemption. For transactions in which we elect the normal purchase normal sale exemption, gains and losses are not reflected on our Consolidated Statements of Operations until the period of delivery. Revenues and expenses derived from instruments that qualified for hedge accounting or represent an economic hedge are recorded in the same financial statement line item as the item being hedged. Hedge accounting requires us to formally document, designate and assess the effectiveness of transactions that receive hedge accounting. We present the cash flows from our derivatives in the same category as the item being hedged (or economically hedged) within operating activities on our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows unless they contain an other-than-insignificant financing element in which case their cash flows are classified within financing activities. Cash Flow Hedges — We currently apply hedge accounting to our interest rate hedging instruments. We report the effective portion of the mark-to-market gain or loss on our interest rate hedging instruments designated and qualifying as a cash flow hedging instrument as a component of OCI and reclassify such gains and losses into earnings in the same period during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Gains and losses due to ineffectiveness on interest rate hedging instruments are recognized currently in earnings as a component of interest expense. If it is determined that the forecasted transaction is no longer probable of occurring, then hedge accounting will be discontinued prospectively and future changes in fair value are recorded in earnings. If the hedging instrument is terminated or de-designated prior to the occurrence of the hedged forecasted transaction, the net accumulated gain or loss associated with the changes in fair value of the hedge instrument remains deferred in AOCI until such time as the forecasted transaction affects earnings or until it is determined that the forecasted transaction is probable of not occurring. Derivatives Not Designated as Hedging Instruments — We enter into power, natural gas, interest rate, environmental product and fuel oil transactions that primarily act as economic hedges to our asset and interest rate portfolio, but either do not qualify as hedges under the hedge accounting guidelines or qualify under the hedge accounting guidelines and the hedge accounting designation has not been elected. Changes in fair value of commodity derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in earnings and are separately stated on our Consolidated Statements of Operations in mark-to-market gain/loss as a component of operating revenues (for physical and financial power and Heat Rate and commodity option activity) and fuel and purchased energy expense (for physical and financial natural gas, power, environmental product and fuel oil activity). Changes in fair value of interest rate derivatives not designated as hedging instruments are recognized currently in earnings as interest expense. Derivatives Included on Our Consolidated Balance Sheets We offset fair value amounts associated with our derivative instruments and related cash collateral and margin deposits on our Consolidated Balance Sheets that are executed with the same counterparty under master netting arrangements. Our netting arrangements include a right to set off or net together purchases and sales of similar products in the margining or settlement process. In some instances, we have also negotiated cross commodity netting rights which allow for the net presentation of activity with a given counterparty regardless of product purchased or sold. We also post and/or receive cash collateral in support of our derivative instruments which may also be subject to a master netting arrangement with the same counterparty.
Fuel and Purchased Energy Expense | Fuel and purchased energy expense is comprised of the cost of natural gas and fuel oil purchased from third parties for the purposes of consumption in our power plants as fuel, the cost of power purchased from third parties for sale to retail customers, the cost of power and natural gas purchased from third parties for our marketing, hedging and optimization activities and realized settlements and mark-to-market gains and losses resulting from general market price movements against certain derivative natural gas and power contracts including financial natural gas transactions economically hedging anticipated future power sales that either do not qualify as hedges under the hedge accounting guidelines or qualify under the hedge accounting guidelines and the hedge accounting designation has not been elected. Realized and Mark-to-Market Expenses from Commodity Derivative Instruments Realized Settlements of Commodity Derivative Instruments — The realized value of natural gas purchase and sales commodity contracts that are net settled are reflected on a net basis and included in Commodity expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Power purchase commodity contracts that result in the physical delivery of power, and that also supplement our power generation, are reflected on a gross basis and are included in Commodity expense on our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Mark-to-Market (Gain) Loss — The changes in the mark-to-market value of natural gas-based and certain power-based commodity derivative instruments are reflected on a net basis as a separate component of fuel and purchased energy expense.
Operating and Maintenance Expense | Operating and maintenance expense primarily includes employee expenses, utilities, chemicals, repairs and maintenance (including equipment failure and major maintenance), insurance and property taxes. We recognize these expenses when the service is performed or in the period to which the expense relates.
Income Taxes | Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying values of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax basis and tax credit and NOL carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities due to a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. We recognize the financial statement effects of a tax position when it is more-likely-than-not, based on the technical merits, that the position will be sustained upon examination. A tax position that meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold is measured as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized upon ultimate settlement with a taxing authority. We reverse a previously recognized tax position in the first period in which it is no longer more-likely-than-not that the tax position would be sustained upon examination.
Stock-Based Compensation | For our restricted stock and restricted stock units, we used our closing stock price on the date of grant, or the last trading day preceding the grant date for restricted stock granted on non-trading days, as the fair value for measuring compensation expense. We used the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of our employee stock options on the grant date. Our performance share units were measured at fair value using a Monte Carlo simulation model at each reporting date until settlement. We included estimated forfeitures in the calculation of stock-based compensation expense.
Treasury Stock | Treasury stock purchases are accounted for under the cost method whereby the entire cost of the acquired stock is recorded as treasury stock. Upon retirement of treasury stock, the amounts in excess of par value are charged entirely to additional paid-in capital.
New Accounting Pronouncements | Revenue Recognition — On January 1, 2018, we adopted Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“Topic 606”). The comprehensive new revenue recognition standard supersedes all pre-existing revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of Topic 606 is that a company will recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The standard also requires expanded disclosures surrounding the recognition of revenue from contracts with customers. We adopted the new revenue recognition standards under Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method and applied Topic 606 to those contracts which were not completed as of January 1, 2018. Results for reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2017 are presented under Topic 606, while prior period amounts continue to be reported in accordance with historical accounting standards. The adoption of Topic 606 resulted in no adjustment to our opening retained earnings as of January 1, 2018. There was no material effect to our revenues, results of operations or cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2018 from the adoption of Topic 606 and we do not expect the new revenue standard to have a material effect on our results of operations in future periods. See Note 4 for additional disclosures required by Topic 606. Leases — In February 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-02, “Leases.” The comprehensive new lease standard will supersede all existing lease guidance. The standard requires that a lessee should recognize a right-to-use asset and a lease liability for substantially all operating leases based on the present value of the minimum rental payments. Entities may make an accounting policy election to not recognize lease assets and liabilities for leases with a term of 12 months or less. For lessors, the accounting for leases remains substantially unchanged. The standard also requires expanded disclosures surrounding leases. The standard is effective for fiscal periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that reporting period and requires modified retrospective adoption with early adoption permitted. In January 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842” that allows an entity to not evaluate existing and expired land easements that were not previously accounted for as leases upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-02. Any land easements entered into prospectively or modified after adoption should be evaluated to assess whether they meet the definition of a lease. In July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-10 “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases” which clarifies, corrects or consolidates authoritative guidance issued in Accounting Standards Update 2016-02 and is effective upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-02. Also in July 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-11 “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements” which provides a new transitional method to adopt the new leases standard and a practical expedient for lessors in applying the provisions of the new leases standard, which is effective upon adoption of Accounting Standards Update 2016-02. We will adopt the standards in the first quarter of 2019 and elect a number of the practical expedients in our implementation of the standards. The key change that will affect us relates to our accounting for operating leases for which we are the lessee that were historically off-balance sheet. The impact of adopting the standards will result in the recognition of a lease obligation liability of between $180 million and $200 million in our Consolidated Balance Sheet which will be largely offset by a right of use lease asset recognized on January 1, 2019. The implementation of the standards will not have a material effect on our Consolidated Statement of Operations. We are finalizing the evaluation of the effect of the additional recognition and disclosure requirements under the standards on our current processes and controls. Statement of Cash Flows — In August 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-15, “Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments.” The standard addresses several matters of diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows including the presentation of debt extinguishment costs and distributions received from equity method investments. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and requires retrospective adoption. We adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-15 in the first quarter of 2018 which resulted in the reclassification of cash payments for debt extinguishment costs from a cash outflow for operating activities to a cash outflow for financing activities. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Income Taxes — In October 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-16, “Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other than Inventory.” The standard requires an entity to recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs which differs from the current requirement that prohibits the recognition of current and deferred income taxes for an intra-entity asset transfer until the asset has been sold to an outside party. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period and requires modified retrospective adoption. We adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-16 in the first quarter of 2018 which did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as a result of adopting this standard. Restricted Cash — In November 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2016-18, “Restricted Cash.” The standard requires restricted cash to be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and ending amounts in the statement of cash flows and also requires disclosures regarding the nature of restrictions on cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods and requires retrospective adoption with early adoption permitted. We adopted Accounting Standards Update 2016-18 in the first quarter of 2018 which did not have a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as a result of adopting this standard. Derivatives and Hedging — In August 2017, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2017-12, “Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” The standard better aligns an entity’s hedging activities and financial reporting for hedging relationships through changes to both the designation and measurement guidance for qualifying hedging relationships and the presentation of hedge results in the financial statements. The standard will prospectively make hedge accounting easier to apply to hedging activities and also enhances disclosure requirements for how hedge transactions are reflected in the financial statements when hedge accounting is elected. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We do not anticipate a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as a result of adopting this standard. Fair Value Measurements — In August 2018, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework – Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement.” The standard removes, modifies and adds disclosures about fair value measurements and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The changes required by this standard to remove or modify disclosures may be early adopted with adoption of the additional disclosures required by this standard delayed until their effective date. We do not anticipate a material effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows as a result of adopting this standard.
Commitments and Contingencies, Policy [Policy Text Block] | On a quarterly basis, we review our litigation activities and determine if an unfavorable outcome to us is considered “remote,” “reasonably possible” or “probable” as defined by U.S. GAAP. Where we determine an unfavorable outcome is probable and is reasonably estimable, we accrue for potential litigation losses. The liability we may ultimately incur with respect to such litigation matters, in the event of a negative outcome, may be in excess of amounts currently accrued, if any; however, we do not expect that the reasonably possible outcome of these litigation matters would, individually or in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. Where we determine an unfavorable outcome is not probable or reasonably estimable, we do not accrue for any potential litigation loss. The ultimate outcome of these litigation matters cannot presently be determined, nor can the liability that could potentially result from a negative outcome be reasonably estimated. As a result, we give no assurance that such litigation matters would, individually or in the aggregate, not have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.
