Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]

Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets

We had no changes to the carrying amount of goodwill during the three months ended March 31, 2014, and 2013.

Our intangible assets consist of contractual service agreements that provide for major maintenance and protection against unforeseen maintenance costs related to the combustion turbine generators at the Fox Energy Center. These contractual service agreements are included in other long-term assets on the balance sheet.
