(a) | Unbilled contract revenue represents accumulated incurred costs and earned profits on contracts (revenue arrangements), which have been recorded as revenue, but have not yet been billed to customers, and which represent contract assets as defined in Topic 606. Substantially all accrued unbilled contract revenue is expected to be collected within one year. Unbilled contract revenue arises from the cost-to-cost method of revenue recognition. Unbilled contract revenue from fixed-price type contracts is converted to billed receivables when amounts are invoiced to customers according to contractual billing terms, which generally occur when deliveries or other performance milestones are completed. |
(b) | Unearned revenue represents a liability for billings to customers in excess of earned revenue, which are contract liabilities as defined in Topic 606. |
(c) | Additions for unbilled contract revenue and subtractions for unearned revenue represent additional revenue earned. Additions for unearned revenue and subtractions for unbilled contract revenue represent billings. Activity also includes appropriate balance sheet classification for the period. |
(d) | Of the $105 million in subtractions from unearned revenue, $50 million was included in the balance as of December 31, 2017. |

(a) | Derivative instruments and collateral were offset on the consolidated balance sheet as applicable under the accounting rules. The Companies enter into master agreements for their commodity derivatives. These agreements typically provide offset in the event of contract termination. In such case, generally the non-defaulting party’s payable will be offset by the defaulting party’s payable. The non-defaulting party will customarily notify the defaulting party within a specific time period and come to an agreement on the early termination amount. |
(b) | At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, margin deposits for Con Edison ($7 million and $12 million, respectively) and CECONY ($6 million and $11 million, respectively) were classified as derivative assets on the consolidated balance sheet, but not included in the table. Margin is collateral, typically cash, that the holder of a derivative instrument is required to deposit in order to transact on an exchange and to cover its potential losses with its broker or the exchange. |

(a) | Non-derivative transactions for the purchase and sale of electricity and gas and qualifying derivative instruments, which have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales, are excluded from the table. These transactions primarily include purchases of electricity from independent system operators. In the event the Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses were no longer extended unsecured credit for such purchases, the Companies would be required to post additional collateral of $1 million at September 30, 2018. For certain other such non-derivative transactions, the Companies could be required to post collateral under certain circumstances, including in the event counterparties had reasonable grounds for insecurity. |
(b) | The Companies measure the collateral requirements by taking into consideration the fair value amounts of derivative instruments that contain credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position plus amounts owed to counterparties for settled transactions and amounts required by counterparties for minimum financial security. The fair value amounts represent unrealized losses, net of any unrealized gains where the Companies have a legally enforceable right to offset. |
(c) | Derivative instruments that are net assets have been excluded from the table. At September 30, 2018, if Con Edison had been downgraded to below investment grade, it would have been required to post additional collateral for such derivative instruments of $22 million. |
• | Level 1 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose value is based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets at the measurement date. An active market is one in which transactions for assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. This category includes contracts traded on active exchange markets valued using unadjusted prices quoted directly from the exchange. |
• | Level 2 – Consists of assets or liabilities valued using industry standard models and based on prices, other than quoted prices within Level 1, that are either directly or indirectly observable as of the measurement date. The industry standard models consider observable assumptions including time value, volatility factors and current market and contractual prices for the underlying commodities, in addition to other economic measures. This category includes contracts traded on active exchanges or in over-the-counter markets priced with industry standard models. |
• | Level 3 – Consists of assets or liabilities whose fair value is estimated based on internally developed models or methodologies using inputs that are generally less readily observable and supported by little, if any, market activity at the measurement date. Unobservable inputs are developed based on the best available information and subject to cost benefit constraints. This category includes contracts priced using models that are internally developed and contracts placed in illiquid markets. It also includes contracts that expire after the period of time for which quoted prices are available and internal models are used to determine a significant portion of the value. |

(a) | The Companies’ policy is to review the fair value hierarchy and recognize transfers into and transfers out of the levels at the end of each reporting period. Con Edison and CECONY had $1 million of net commodity derivative liabilities transferred from level 3 to level 2 during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 because of availability of observable market data due to the decrease in the terms of certain contracts from beyond three years as of December 31, 2017 to less than three years as of September 30, 2018. Con Edison and CECONY had $11 million and $10 million, respectively, of commodity derivative liabilities transferred from level 3 to level 2 during the year ended December 31, 2017 because of availability of observable market data due to the decrease in the terms of certain contracts from beyond three years as of September 30, 2017 to less than three years as of December 31, 2017. |
(b) | Level 2 assets and liabilities include investments held in the deferred compensation plan and/or non-qualified retirement plans, exchange-traded contracts where there is insufficient market liquidity to warrant inclusion in Level 1, certain over-the-counter derivative instruments for electricity, refined products and natural gas. Derivative instruments classified as Level 2 are valued using industry standard models that incorporate corroborated observable inputs; such as pricing services or prices from similar instruments that trade in liquid markets, time value and volatility factors. |
(c) | The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures require consideration of the impact of nonperformance risk (including credit risk) from a market participant perspective in the measurement of the fair value of assets and liabilities. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Companies determined that nonperformance risk would have no material impact on their financial position or results of operations. |
(d) | Other assets are comprised of assets such as life insurance contracts within the deferred compensation plan and non-qualified retirement plans. |
(e) | Amounts represent the impact of legally-enforceable master netting agreements that allow the Companies to net gain and loss positions and cash collateral held or placed with the same counterparties. |

a. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans and the weather-normalization clause applicable to their gas businesses, revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. In general, the utilities recover on a current basis the fuel, gas purchased for resale and purchased power costs they incur in supplying energy to their full-service customers. Accordingly, such costs do not generally affect Con Edison’s results of operations. |

a. Under the revenue decoupling mechanisms in the Utilities’ New York electric and gas rate plans and the weather-normalization clause applicable to their gas businesses, revenues are generally not affected by changes in delivery volumes from levels assumed when rates were approved. In general, the utilities recover on a current basis the fuel, gas purchased for resale and purchased power costs they incur in supplying energy to their full-service customers. Accordingly, such costs do not generally affect Con Edison’s results of operations. |

(O&R), Con Edison Clean Energy Businesses, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, the Clean Energy Businesses) and Con Edison Transmission, Inc. (together with its subsidiaries, Con Edison Transmission) in Con Edison’s consolidated financial statements. The term “Utilities” is used in these notes to refer to CECONY and O&R. As used in these notes, the term “Companies” refers to Con Edison and CECONY and, except as otherwise noted, the information in these combined notes relates to each of the Companies. However, CECONY makes no representation as to information relating to Con Edison or the subsidiaries of Con Edison other than itself. The separate interim consolidated financial statements of each of the Companies are unaudited but, in the opinion of their respective managements, reflect all adjustments (which include only normally recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim periods presented. The Companies’ separate interim consolidated financial statements should be read together with their separate audited financial statements (including the combined notes thereto) included in Item 8 of their combined Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017 and their separate unaudited financial statements (including the combined notes thereto) included in Part 1, Item 1 of their combined Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarterly periods ended March 31, 2018 and June 30, 2018. Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Con Edison has two regulated utility subsidiaries: CECONY and O&R. CECONY provides electric service and gas service in New York City and Westchester County. The company also provides steam service in parts of Manhattan. O&R, along with its regulated utility subsidiary, provides electric service in southeastern New York and northern New Jersey and gas service in southeastern New York.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies | Summary of Significant Accounting Policies Revenues Adoption of New Standard On January 1, 2018, the Companies adopted Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) Topic 606, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers,” using the modified retrospective method applied to those contracts that were not completed. No charge to retained earnings for cumulative impact was required as a result of the Companies’ adoption of Topic 606. Revenue Recognition The following table presents, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, revenue from contracts with customers as defined in Topic 606, as well as additional revenue from sources other than contracts with customers, disaggregated by major source.
(a) For the Utilities, this includes revenue from alternative revenue programs, such as the revenue decoupling mechanisms under their New York electric and gas rate plans. For the Clean Energy Businesses, this includes revenue from wholesale services. (b) Included within the total for Renewables revenue at the Clean Energy Businesses is $3 million and $100 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively, of revenue related to engineering, procurement and construction services.
The Utilities have the obligation to deliver electricity, gas and steam energy to their customers. The Utilities recognize revenues as this performance obligation is satisfied over time as the Utilities deliver, and the customers simultaneously receive and consume, the energy. The amount of revenues recognized reflects the consideration the Utilities expect to receive in exchange for delivering the energy. Under their tariffs, the transaction price for full-service customers includes the Utilities’ energy cost and for all customers includes delivery charges determined based on customer class and in accordance with established tariffs and guidelines of the New York State Public Service Commission (NYSPSC) or the New Jersey Board of Public Utilities (NJBPU), as applicable. Accordingly, there is no unsatisfied performance obligation associated with these customers. The transaction price is applied to the Utilities’ revenue generating activities through the customer billing process. Because energy is delivered over time, the Utilities use output methods that recognize revenue based on direct measurement of the value transferred, such as units delivered, which provides an accurate measure of value for the energy delivered. The Utilities accrue revenues at the end of each month for estimated energy delivered but not yet billed to customers. The Utilities defer over a 12-month period net interruptible gas revenues, other than those authorized by the NYSPSC to be retained by the Utilities, for refund to firm gas sales and transportation customers. Con Edison Development recognizes revenue for the sale of energy from renewable electric production projects as energy is generated and billed to counterparties. Con Edison Development accrues revenues at the end of each month for energy generated but not yet billed to counterparties. Con Edison Energy recognizes revenue as energy is delivered and services are provided for managing energy supply assets leased from others and managing the dispatch, fuel requirements and risk management activities for generating plants and merchant transmission in the northeastern United States. Con Edison Solutions recognizes revenue for providing energy-efficiency services to government and commercial customers, and Con Edison Development recognizes revenue for engineering, procurement and construction services, under the percentage-of-completion method of revenue recognition. Sales and profits on each percentage-of-completion contract are recorded each month based on the ratio of actual cumulative costs incurred to the total estimated costs at completion of the contract, multiplied by the total estimated contract revenue, less cumulative revenues recognized in prior periods (the ‘‘cost-to-cost’’ method). The impact of revisions of contract estimates, which may result from contract modifications, performance or other reasons, are recognized on a cumulative catch-up basis in the period in which the revisions are made.
As of September 30, 2018, the aggregate amount of the remaining fixed performance obligations is $124 million, of which $87 million will be recognized within the next two years, and the remaining $37 million will be recognized pursuant to long-term service and maintenance agreements. Revenues are recorded as energy is delivered, generated or services are provided and billed to customers, except for services under percentage-of-completion contracts. Amounts billed are recorded in accounts receivable - customers, with payment generally due the following month. Con Edison’s and the Utilities’ accounts receivable - customers balance also reflects the Utilities’ purchase of receivables from energy service companies to support retail choice programs. Accrued revenues not yet billed to customers are recorded as accrued unbilled revenues. Utility Plant At September 30, 2018, utility plant of Con Edison and CECONY included $102 million and $97 million, respectively, related to a May 2018 acquisition of software licenses. The software licenses asset is being amortized over a period of 15 years, and the estimated aggregate annual amortization expense for Con Edison and CECONY is $7 million. At September 30, 2018, the accumulated amortization for Con Edison and CECONY was $2 million and $1 million, respectively. Earnings Per Common Share Con Edison presents basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS) on the face of its consolidated income statement. Basic EPS is calculated by dividing earnings available to common shareholders (“Net income” on Con Edison’s consolidated income statement) by the weighted average number of Con Edison common shares outstanding during the period. In the calculation of diluted EPS, weighted average shares outstanding are increased for additional shares that would be outstanding if potentially dilutive securities were converted to common stock. Potentially dilutive securities for Con Edison consist of restricted stock units and deferred stock units for which the average market price of the common shares for the period was greater than the exercise price. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, basic and diluted EPS for Con Edison are calculated as follows:
The computation of diluted EPS for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 excludes immaterial amounts of performance share awards that were not included because of their anti-dilutive effect. Changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income/(Loss) by Component For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, changes to accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (OCI) for Con Edison and CECONY are as follows:
Reconciliation of Cash, Temporary Cash Investments and Restricted Cash On January 1, 2018, the Companies adopted Accounting Standard Update (ASU) 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash," which they applied retrospectively for each prior period presented. Pursuant to ASU 2016-18, cash, temporary cash investments and restricted cash are presented on a combined basis in the Companies’ consolidated statements of cash flows. At September 30, 2018 and 2017, cash, temporary cash investments and restricted cash for Con Edison and CECONY are as follows:

Regulatory Matters | Regulatory Matters Rate Plans O&R New York – Electric In May 2018, in O&R's electric rate proceeding, the NYSPSC staff recommended a $10.6 million increase in O&R's electric rates (reflecting an authorized return on common equity of 8.6 percent). In June 2018, O&R filed an update to its requested rate increase, changing its request to a $30.4 million increase (reflecting an authorized return on common equity of 9.75 percent). O&R New York – Gas In May 2018, in O&R's gas rate proceeding, the NYSPSC staff recommended a $6.7 million decrease in O&R's gas rates (reflecting an authorized return on common equity of 8.6 percent). In June 2018, O&R filed an update to its requested rate increase, changing its request to a $0.5 million decrease (reflecting an authorized return on common equity of 9.75 percent). Other Regulatory Matters In August and November 2017, the NYSPSC issued orders in its proceeding investigating an April 21, 2017 Metropolitan Transportation Authority (MTA) subway power outage. The orders indicated that the investigation determined that the outage was caused by a failure of CECONY’s electricity supply to a subway station, which led to a loss of the subway signals, and that one of the secondary services to the MTA facility had been improperly rerouted and was not properly documented by the company. The orders also indicated that the loss of power to the subway station affected multiple subway lines and caused widespread delays across the subway system. Pursuant to the orders, the company is required to take certain actions, including inspecting, repairing and installing certain electrical equipment that serves the subway system, analyzing power supply and power quality events affecting the MTA’s signaling services, and filing monthly reports with the NYSPSC on all of the company's activities related to the subway system. Through September 30, 2018, the company incurred costs related to this matter of $219 million. Included in this amount is $30 million in capital and operating and maintenance costs reflected in the company's electric rate plan and $189 million deferred as a regulatory asset pursuant to the rate plan. The company, which plans to complete the required actions in 2018, expects to incur costs related to this matter during the remainder of 2018 of $51 million, which is expected to be deferred as a regulatory asset pursuant to the rate plan. In December 2017, the NYSPSC issued an order initiating a proceeding to study the potential effects of the federal Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (TCJA) on income tax expense and liabilities of New York State utilities and the regulatory treatment to preserve the resulting benefits for customers. Upon enactment of the TCJA in December 2017, CECONY and O&R re-measured their deferred tax assets and liabilities and accrued net regulatory liabilities for future income taxes of $3,513 million and $161 million, respectively. In September 2018, CECONY and O&R accrued additional net regulatory liabilities for future income tax of $51 million and $7 million, respectively (see Note I). Under the rate normalization requirements continued by the TCJA, the "protected" portion of their net regulatory liabilities related to certain accelerated tax depreciation benefits ($2,593 million and $133 million, respectively) is to be amortized over the remaining lives of the related assets. The remainder of the net regulatory liabilities, or "unprotected" portion, ($971 million and $35 million, respectively) is to be amortized as determined by the NYSPSC. In August 2018, the NYSPSC ordered CECONY to begin on January 1, 2019 to credit the company's electric and gas customers, and to begin on October 1, 2018 to credit its steam customers, with the net benefits of the TCJA as measured based on amounts reflected in its rate plans prior to the enactment of the TCJA. The net benefits include the revenue requirement impact of the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate to 21 percent, the elimination for utilities of bonus depreciation and the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes. CECONY estimates that its credit of net benefits to its electric, gas and steam customers in 2019 will amount to $247 million, $102 million and $25 million, respectively (and that its credit to its steam customers in the fourth quarter of 2018 will be $6 million). CECONY’s net benefits prior to January 1, 2019 allocable to the company’s electric customers (estimated $304 million) are to be deferred and addressed in its next electric rate proceeding. CECONY’s net benefits prior to January 1, 2019 allocable to the company’s gas customers (estimated $82 million) and net benefits prior to October 1, 2018 allocable to the company’s steam customers ($15 million) are to be amortized over a three-year period. CECONY’s net regulatory liability for future income taxes, including both the protected and unprotected portions, allocable to the company’s electric customers ($2,514 million) is to continue to be deferred until its next electric rate proceeding and the amounts allocable to its gas and steam customers ($808 million and $190 million, respectively) are to be amortized over the remaining lives of the related assets (with the amortization period for the unprotected portion subject to review in its next gas and steam rate proceedings). O&R, in its ongoing rate proceedings (see “Rate Plans,” above), intends to reflect its TCJA net benefits in its electric and gas rates beginning as of January 1, 2019, to amortize its net benefits prior to January 1, 2019 (estimated $22 million) over a three-year period and to amortize the protected portion of its net regulatory liability for future income taxes over the remaining lives of the related assets and the unprotected portion over a fifteen-year period. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Utilities deferred as regulatory liabilities estimated net benefits of the TCJA of $325 million, which represented approximately three quarters of their estimated annual net benefits. In January 2018, the NYSPSC issued an order initiating a focused operations audit of the income tax accounting of certain utilities, including CECONY and O&R. In January 2018, the NJBPU issued an order initiating a proceeding to consider the TCJA. In June 2018, the NJBPU made permanent its previously approved $2.9 million interim decrease in Rockland Electric Company's (RECO) electric base rates, effective April 1, 2018, and ordered RECO to pay to its customers in July 2018 its approximately $1 million of net benefits of the TCJA for the three-month period ended March 31, 2018 and to begin in July 2018 to refund to its customers the unprotected portion of its net regulatory liability for future income taxes over a three-year period. Also in March 2018, the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) issued an order directing RECO to propose revisions to its transmission revenue requirement to reflect the TCJA. RECO’s net regulatory liability for future income taxes resulting from its re-measurement of its deferred tax asset and liabilities is $28 million (including $16 million subject to the normalization requirements continued by the TCJA). In March 2018, Winter Storms Riley and Quinn caused damage to the Utilities’ electric distribution systems and interrupted service to approximately 209,000 CECONY customers, 93,000 O&R customers and 44,000 RECO customers. Through September 30, 2018, CECONY's costs related to March 2018 storms, including Riley and Quinn, amounted to $125 million, including operation and maintenance expenses reflected in its electric rate plan ($16 million), operation and maintenance expenses charged against a storm reserve pursuant to its electric rate plan ($76 million), capital expenditures ($27 million) and removal costs ($6 million). O&R and RECO had storm-related costs of $44 million and $17 million, respectively, most of which were deferred as regulatory assets pursuant to their electric rate plans. Recovery of CECONY and O&R storm-related costs is subject to review by the NYSPSC, and recovery of RECO storm-related costs is subject to review by the NJBPU. The NYSPSC is investigating the preparation and response to the storms by CECONY, O&R, and other New York electric utilities, including all aspects of their emergency response plans, and may penalize them. In July 2018, the NJBPU adopted NJBPU staff's recommendations to increase requirements for New Jersey utilities, including RECO, relating to pre-storm preparations, restoration of service and communications and outreach. The Companies are unable to estimate the amount or range of their possible loss in connection with the storms. In May 2018, FERC denied a complaint the NJBPU filed with FERC seeking the re-allocation to CECONY of certain PJM Interconnection LLC (PJM) transmission costs that had been allocated to the company prior to April 2017 when transmission service provided to the company pursuant to the PJM open access transmission tariff terminated. The transmission service terminated because the company did not exercise its option to continue the service following a series of requests PJM had submitted to FERC that substantially increased the charges for the transmission service. CECONY challenged each of these requests. FERC rejected all but one of CECONY’s protests. In June 2015 and May 2016, CECONY filed appeals of certain FERC decisions with the U.S. Court of Appeals. In July 2018, FERC established a settlement proceeding relating to the allocation of PJM transmission costs. Under CECONY’s electric rate plan, unless and until changed by the NYSPSC, the company will recover all charges incurred associated with the transmission service. In July 2018, the NYSPSC commenced an investigation into the rupture of a CECONY steam main (see Note H). Regulatory Assets and Liabilities Regulatory assets and liabilities at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were comprised of the following items:

Pension Benefits | Pension Benefits Total Periodic Benefit Cost The components of the Companies’ total periodic benefit cost for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:
In March 2017, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for retirement benefits through ASU 2017-07, “Compensation-Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost.” The Companies adopted ASU 2017-07 beginning on January 1, 2018. The guidance requires that components of net periodic benefit cost other than service cost be presented outside of operating income on consolidated income statements, and that only the service cost component is eligible for capitalization. Accordingly, the service cost components are included in the line "Other operations and maintenance" and the non-service cost components are included in the line “Other deductions” in the Companies' consolidated income statements. As permitted by a practical expedient under ASU 2017-07, the Companies applied the presentation requirements retrospectively for both pension and other postretirement benefit costs using amounts disclosed in prior-period financial statements as appropriate estimates. Expected Contributions Based on estimates as of September 30, 2018, the Companies expect to make contributions to the pension plans during 2018 of $472 million (of which $433 million is to be contributed by CECONY). The Companies’ policy is to fund the total periodic benefit cost of the qualified plan to the extent tax deductible and to also contribute to the non-qualified supplemental plans. During the first nine months of 2018, the Companies contributed $469 million to the pension plans (of which $431 million was contributed by CECONY). CECONY also contributed $17 million to the external trust for its non-qualified supplemental plan. |

Environmental Remediation Obligations [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Environmental Matters | Environmental Matters Superfund Sites Hazardous substances, such as asbestos, polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) and coal tar, have been used or generated in the course of operations of the Utilities and their predecessors and are present at sites and in facilities and equipment they currently or previously owned, including sites at which gas was manufactured or stored. The Federal Comprehensive Environmental Response, Compensation and Liability Act of 1980 and similar state statutes (Superfund) impose joint and several liability, regardless of fault, upon generators of hazardous substances for investigation and remediation costs (which include costs of demolition, removal, disposal, storage, replacement, containment and monitoring) and natural resource damages. Liability under these laws can be material and may be imposed for contamination from past acts, even though such past acts may have been lawful at the time they occurred. The sites at which the Utilities have been asserted to have liability under these laws, including their manufactured gas plant sites and any neighboring areas to which contamination may have migrated, are referred to herein as “Superfund Sites.” For Superfund Sites where there are other potentially responsible parties and the Utilities are not managing the site investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the amount the Utilities will need to pay to investigate and, where determinable, discharge their related obligations. For Superfund Sites (including the manufactured gas plant sites) for which one of the Utilities is managing the investigation and remediation, the accrued liability represents an estimate of the company’s share of the undiscounted cost to investigate the sites and, for sites that have been investigated in whole or in part, the cost to remediate the sites, if remediation is necessary and if a reasonable estimate of such cost can be made. Remediation costs are estimated in light of the information available, applicable remediation standards and experience with similar sites. The accrued liabilities and regulatory assets related to Superfund Sites at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:
Most of the accrued Superfund Site liability relates to sites that have been investigated, in whole or in part. However, for some of the sites, the extent and associated cost of the required remediation has not yet been determined. As investigations progress and information pertaining to the required remediation becomes available, the Utilities expect that additional liability may be accrued, the amount of which is not presently determinable but may be material. The Utilities are permitted to recover or defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) prudently incurred site investigation and remediation costs. Environmental remediation costs incurred related to Superfund Sites for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 were as follows:
Insurance and other third-party recoveries received by Con Edison or CECONY were immaterial for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017. In 2017, Con Edison and CECONY estimated that for their manufactured gas plant sites (including CECONY’s Astoria site), the aggregate undiscounted potential liability for the investigation and remediation of coal tar and/or other environmental contaminants could range up to $2.7 billion and $2.5 billion, respectively. These estimates were based on the assumption that there is contamination at all sites, including those that have not yet been fully investigated and additional assumptions about the extent of the contamination and the type and extent of the remediation that may be required. Actual experience may be materially different. Asbestos Proceedings Suits have been brought in New York State and federal courts against the Utilities and many other defendants, wherein a large number of plaintiffs sought large amounts of compensatory and punitive damages for deaths and injuries allegedly caused by exposure to asbestos at various premises of the Utilities. The suits that have been resolved, which are many, have been resolved without any payment by the Utilities, or for amounts that were not, in the aggregate, material to them. The amounts specified in all the remaining thousands of suits total billions of dollars; however, the Utilities believe that these amounts are greatly exaggerated, based on the disposition of previous claims. At September 30, 2018, Con Edison and CECONY have accrued their estimated aggregate undiscounted potential liabilities for these suits and additional suits that may be brought over the next 15 years as shown in the following table. These estimates were based upon a combination of modeling, historical data analysis and risk factor assessment. Courts have begun, and unless otherwise determined on appeal may continue, to apply different standards for determining liability in asbestos suits than the standard that applied historically. As a result, the Companies currently believe that there is a reasonable possibility of an exposure to loss in excess of the liability accrued for the suits. The Companies are unable to estimate the amount or range of such loss. In addition, certain current and former employees have claimed or are claiming workers’ compensation benefits based on alleged disability from exposure to asbestos. CECONY is permitted to defer as regulatory assets (for subsequent recovery through rates) costs incurred for its asbestos lawsuits and workers’ compensation claims. The accrued liability for asbestos suits and workers’ compensation proceedings (including those related to asbestos exposure) and the amounts deferred as regulatory assets for the Companies at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were as follows:

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract] | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Other Material Contingencies | Other Material Contingencies Manhattan Explosion and Fire On March 12, 2014, two multi-use five-story tall buildings located on Park Avenue between 116th and 117th Streets in Manhattan were destroyed by an explosion and fire. CECONY had delivered gas to the buildings through service lines from a distribution main located below ground on Park Avenue. Eight people died and more than 50 people were injured. Additional buildings were also damaged. The National Transportation Safety Board (NTSB) investigated. The parties to the investigation included the company, the City of New York, the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration and the NYSPSC. In June 2015, the NTSB issued a final report concerning the incident, its probable cause and safety recommendations. The NTSB determined that the probable cause of the incident was (1) the failure of a defective fusion joint at a service tee (which joined a plastic service line to a plastic distribution main) installed by the company that allowed gas to leak from the distribution main and migrate into a building where it ignited and (2) a breach in a City sewer line that allowed groundwater and soil to flow into the sewer, resulting in a loss of support for the distribution main, which caused it to sag and overstressed the defective fusion joint. The NTSB also made safety recommendations, including recommendations to the company that addressed its procedures for the preparation and examination of plastic fusions, training of its staff on conditions for notifications to the City’s Fire Department and extension of its gas main isolation valve installation program. In February 2017, the NYSPSC approved a settlement agreement with the company related to the NYSPSC's investigations of the incident and the practices of qualifying persons to perform plastic fusions. Pursuant to the agreement, the company is providing $27 million of future benefits to customers (for which it has accrued a regulatory liability) and will not recover from customers $126 million of costs for gas emergency response activities that it had previously incurred and expensed. Approximately eighty suits are pending against the company seeking generally unspecified damages and, in some cases, punitive damages, for wrongful death, personal injury, property damage and business interruption. The company has notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies in force at the time of the incident will cover the company’s costs, in excess of a required retention (the amount of which is not material), to satisfy any liability it may have for damages in connection with the incident. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss for damages related to the incident. At September 30, 2018, the company had not accrued a liability for damages related to the incident. Manhattan Steam Main Rupture In July 2018, a CECONY steam main located on Fifth Avenue and 21st street in Manhattan ruptured. Debris from the incident included dirt and mud containing asbestos. The response to the incident required the closing of buildings and streets for various periods. The NYSPSC has commenced an investigation. As of September 30, 2018, with respect to the incident, the company incurred estimated operating costs of $10 million for property damage, clean- up and other response costs and invested $7 million in capital and retirement costs. The company has notified its insurers of the incident and believes that the policies currently in force will cover the company’s costs, in excess of a required retention (the amount of which is not material), to satisfy any liability it may have for damages to others in connection with the incident. The company is unable to estimate the amount or range of its possible loss related to the incident. At September 30, 2018, the company had not accrued a liability related to the incident. Other Contingencies See "Other Regulatory Matters" in Note B and “Uncertain Tax Positions” in Note I. Guarantees Con Edison has guaranteed the obligations of a Con Edison Development subsidiary under the purchase and sale agreement for its acquisition of Sempra Solar Holdings, LLC, including the payment of the purchase price for the acquisition ($1,540 million, subject to closing adjustments, including working capital). See Note O. Con Edison and its subsidiaries have entered into various other agreements providing financial or performance assurance primarily to third parties on behalf of their subsidiaries. Maximum amounts guaranteed by Con Edison under these other agreements totaled $1,991 million and $2,073 million at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively. A summary, by type and term, of Con Edison’s total guarantees under these other agreements at September 30, 2018 is as follows:
Con Edison Transmission — Con Edison has guaranteed payment by CET Electric of the contributions CET Electric agreed to make to New York Transco LLC (NY Transco). CET Electric acquired a 45.7 percent interest in NY Transco when it was formed in 2014. In May 2016, the transmission owners transferred certain projects to NY Transco, for which CET Electric made its required contributions. NY Transco has proposed other transmission projects in the New York Independent System Operator's competitive bidding process. These other projects are subject to certain authorizations from the NYSPSC, the FERC and, as applicable, other federal, state and local agencies. Guarantee amount shown is for the maximum possible required amount of CET Electric’s contributions for these other projects as calculated based on the assumptions that the projects are completed at 175 percent of their estimated costs and NY Transco does not use any debt financing for the projects. Guarantee term shown is assumed as the selection of the projects and resulting timing of the contributions is not certain. Also included within the table above are guarantees for $125 million from Con Edison on behalf of CET Gas in relation to a proposed gas transmission project in West Virginia and Virginia. Energy Transactions — Con Edison guarantees payments on behalf of the Clean Energy Businesses in order to facilitate physical and financial transactions in electricity, gas, pipeline capacity, transportation, oil, renewable energy credits and energy services. To the extent that liabilities exist under the contracts subject to these guarantees, such liabilities are included in Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet. Renewable Electric Production Projects — Con Edison, Con Edison Development, and Con Edison Solutions guarantee payments on behalf of their wholly-owned subsidiaries associated with their investment in, or development for others of, solar and wind energy facilities. Other — Other guarantees include $70 million in guarantees provided by Con Edison to Travelers Insurance Company for indemnity agreements for surety bonds in connection with operation of solar energy facilities and energy service projects of Con Edison Development and Con Edison Solutions, respectively. |

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Income Tax | Income Tax Con Edison’s income tax expense decreased to $175 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $270 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. CECONY’s income tax expense decreased to $125 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 from $242 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in income tax expense for both Companies is due primarily to lower income before income tax expense, the lower corporate federal income tax rate of 21 percent in 2018 resulting from the enactment of the TCJA and an increase in the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes due to the TCJA. Con Edison’s decrease in income tax expense was offset in part by $42 million of income tax expense which, as discussed below, resulted from newly issued guidance on the TCJA and the subsequent re-measurement of deferred tax assets associated with Con Edison’s 2017 federal net operating loss (NOL) carryover into 2018. Reconciliation of the difference between income tax expense and the amount computed by applying the prevailing statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes for the three months ended September 30, is as follows:
Con Edison’s income tax expense decreased to $330 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $599 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. CECONY’s income tax expense decreased to $274 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 from $551 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017. The decrease in income tax expense for both Companies is due primarily to lower income before income tax expense, the lower corporate federal income tax rate of 21 percent in 2018 resulting from the enactment of the TCJA and an increase in the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes due to the TCJA. Con Edison’s decrease in income tax expense was offset in part by $42 million of income tax expense which, as discussed below, resulted from newly issued guidance on the TCJA and the subsequent re-measurement of deferred tax assets associated with Con Edison’s 2017 federal NOL carryover into 2018. Reconciliation of the difference between income tax expense and the amount computed by applying the prevailing statutory income tax rate to income before income taxes for the nine months ended September 30, is as follows:
CECONY and O&R deferred as regulatory liabilities their estimated net benefits under the TCJA for the nine months ended September 30, 2018. RECO deferred as a regulatory liability its estimated net benefits under the TCJA for the three months ended March 31, 2018. The net benefits include the revenue requirement impact of the reduction in the corporate federal income tax rate to 21 percent, the elimination for utilities of bonus depreciation and the amortization of excess deferred federal income taxes the utilities collected from customers that will not need to be paid to the Internal Revenue Service under the TCJA. See “Other Regulatory Matters” in Note B. At December 31, 2017, the Companies recorded provisional income tax amounts in its accounting for certain effects of the provisions of the TCJA as allowed under SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (SAB 118). SAB 118 allowed a one year period for companies to finalize the provisional amounts recorded as of December 31, 2017. In August 2018, the Internal Revenue Service and U.S. Department of Treasury issued proposed regulations that clarified provisions in TCJA on the allowance for additional first-year depreciation for qualified property of regulated public utilities placed in service in the fourth quarter of 2017. Under this guidance, the Utilities deducted $477 million in additional depreciation in Con Edison’s 2017 federal income tax return. The additional depreciation increased Con Edison’s 2017 federal NOL carryover to $563 million (CECONY’s 2017 federal NOL carryover is $153 million), which required a re-measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities associated with the filing of its 2017 federal income tax return. As a result, Con Edison decreased its net deferred tax liabilities by $16 million (including $51 million for CECONY), recognized $42 million in income tax expense at the parent company related to re-measuring the 2017 federal NOL carryover to 2018 and accrued a regulatory liability for future income tax of $58 million (including $51 million for CECONY). The Companies expect to complete their assessment and record any final adjustments to the provisional amounts by the fourth quarter of 2018. Uncertain Tax Positions In March 2018, Con Edison received approval of its tax refunds by the Joint Committee on Taxation for tax years 2012 through 2015. The approval effectively settled approximately $3 million in uncertain federal tax positions. Federal income tax returns for 2016 and 2017 remain under examination. At September 30, 2018, the estimated liability for uncertain tax positions for Con Edison was $11 million ($5 million for CECONY). Con Edison reasonably expects to resolve within the next twelve months approximately $10 million ($9 million, net of federal taxes) of various federal and state uncertainties due to the expected completion of ongoing tax examinations, resolution of state refund claims and expiration of statute of limitations, of which the entire amount, if recognized, would reduce Con Edison's effective tax rate. The amount related to CECONY is approximately $3 million, which, if recognized, would reduce CECONY’s effective tax rate. The total amount of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, that would reduce Con Edison’s effective tax rate is $11 million ($10 million, net of federal taxes). The Companies recognize interest on liabilities for uncertain tax positions in interest expense and would recognize penalties, if any, in operating expenses in the Companies’ consolidated income statements. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, the Companies recognized an immaterial amount of interest expense and no penalties for uncertain tax positions in their consolidated income statements. At September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, the Companies recognized an immaterial amount of accrued interest on their consolidated balance sheets. |

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities | Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Con Edison’s subsidiaries hedge market price fluctuations associated with physical purchases and sales of electricity, natural gas, steam and, to a lesser extent, refined fuels by using derivative instruments including futures, forwards, basis swaps, options, transmission congestion contracts and financial transmission rights contracts. Derivatives are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet at fair value (see Note L), unless an exception is available under the accounting rules for derivatives and hedging. Qualifying derivative contracts that have been designated as normal purchases or normal sales contracts are not reported at fair value under the accounting rules. The fair values of the Companies’ commodity derivatives including the offsetting of assets and liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet at September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were:
The Utilities generally recover their prudently incurred fuel, purchased power and gas costs, including hedging gains and losses, in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state utility regulators. In accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations, the Utilities record a regulatory asset or liability to defer recognition of unrealized gains and losses on their electric and gas derivatives. As gains and losses are realized in future periods, they will be recognized as purchased power, gas and fuel costs in the Companies’ consolidated income statements. The Clean Energy Businesses record realized and unrealized gains and losses on their derivative contracts in purchased power, gas purchased for resale and non-utility revenue in the reporting period in which they occur. Management believes that these derivative instruments represent economic hedges that mitigate exposure to fluctuations in commodity prices. The following table presents the realized and unrealized gains or losses on commodity derivatives that have been deferred or recognized in earnings for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017:
The following table presents the hedged volume of Con Edison’s and CECONY’s derivative transactions at September 30, 2018:
The Companies are exposed to credit risk related to transactions entered into primarily for the various energy supply and hedging activities by the Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses. Credit risk relates to the loss that may result from a counterparty’s nonperformance. The Companies use credit policies to manage this risk, including an established credit approval process, monitoring of counterparty limits, netting provisions within agreements, collateral or prepayment arrangements, credit insurance and credit default swaps. The Companies measure credit risk exposure as the replacement cost for open energy commodity and derivative positions plus amounts owed from counterparties for settled transactions. The replacement cost of open positions represents unrealized gains, net of any unrealized losses where the Companies have a legally enforceable right to offset. At September 30, 2018, Con Edison and CECONY had $107 million and $17 million of credit exposure in connection with energy supply and hedging activities, net of collateral, respectively. Con Edison’s net credit exposure consisted of $44 million with independent system operators, $25 million with investment-grade counterparties, $22 million with non-investment grade/non-rated counterparties and $16 million with commodity exchange brokers. CECONY’s net credit exposure consisted of $10 million with investment-grade counterparties and $7 million with commodity exchange brokers. The collateral requirements associated with, and settlement of, derivative transactions are included in net cash flows from operating activities in the Companies’ consolidated statement of cash flows. Most derivative instrument contracts contain provisions that may require a party to provide collateral on its derivative instruments that are in a net liability position. The amount of collateral to be provided will depend on the fair value of the derivative instruments and the party’s credit ratings. The following table presents the aggregate fair value of the Companies’ derivative instruments with credit-risk-related contingent features that are in a net liability position, the collateral posted for such positions and the additional collateral that would have been required to be posted had the lowest applicable credit rating been reduced one level and to below investment grade at September 30, 2018:
Interest Rate Swap In December 2016, the Clean Energy Businesses acquired Coram Wind which holds an interest rate swap that terminates in June 2024, pursuant to which it pays a fixed-rate of 2.0855 percent and receives a LIBOR-based variable rate. The fair value of this interest rate swap was an asset of $1 million as of September 30, 2018 and an immaterial amount as of December 31, 2017 on Con Edison’s consolidated balance sheet. |

Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures define fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date in a principal or most advantageous market. Fair value is a market-based measurement that is determined based on inputs, which refer broadly to assumptions that market participants use in pricing assets or liabilities. These inputs can be readily observable, market corroborated, or generally unobservable firm inputs. The Companies often make certain assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability, including assumptions about risk, and the risks inherent in the inputs to valuation techniques. The Companies use valuation techniques that maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures established a fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value in three broad levels. The rules require that assets and liabilities be classified in their entirety based on the level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Assessing the significance of a particular input may require judgment considering factors specific to the asset or liability, and may affect the valuation of the asset or liability and their placement within the fair value hierarchy. The Companies classify fair value balances based on the fair value hierarchy defined by the accounting rules for fair value measurements and disclosures as follows:
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 are summarized below.
The employees in the Companies’ risk management group develop and maintain the Companies’ valuation policies and procedures for, and verify pricing and fair value valuation of, commodity derivatives. Under the Companies’ policies and procedures, multiple independent sources of information are obtained for forward price curves used to value commodity derivatives. Fair value and changes in fair value of commodity derivatives are reported on a monthly basis to the Companies’ risk committees, comprised of officers and employees of the Companies that oversee energy hedging at the Utilities and the Clean Energy Businesses. The risk management group reports to the Companies’ Vice President and Treasurer.
The table listed below provides a reconciliation of the beginning and ending net balances for assets and liabilities measured at fair value as of September 30, 2018 and 2017 and classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy:
For the Utilities, realized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported as part of purchased power, gas and fuel costs. The Utilities generally recover these costs in accordance with rate provisions approved by the applicable state public utilities regulators. Unrealized gains and losses for commodity derivatives are generally deferred on the consolidated balance sheet in accordance with the accounting rules for regulated operations. For the Clean Energy Businesses, realized and unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported in non-utility revenues ($1 million loss and immaterial) and purchased power costs (immaterial and $4 million gain) on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Realized and unrealized gains and losses on Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities are reported in non-utility revenues ($4 million loss and immaterial) and purchased power costs (immaterial and $3 million gain) on the consolidated income statement for the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The change in fair value relating to Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities held at September 30, 2018 and 2017 is included in non-utility revenues ($1 million loss and immaterial) and purchased power costs (immaterial and $4 million gain) on the consolidated income statement for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, the change in fair value relating to Level 3 commodity derivative assets and liabilities is included in non-utility revenues ($5 million loss and immaterial) and purchased power costs (immaterial and $2 million gain), respectively, on the consolidated income statement. |

Variable Interest Entities | Variable Interest Entities Con Edison enters into arrangements including leases, partnerships and electricity purchase agreements, with various entities. As a result of these arrangements, Con Edison retains or may retain a variable interest in these entities. CECONY has an ongoing long-term electricity purchase agreement with Brooklyn Navy Yard Cogeneration Partners, LP, a potential variable interest entity (VIE). In 2017, a request was made of this counterparty for information necessary to determine whether the entity was a VIE and whether CECONY is the primary beneficiary; however, the information was not made available. The payments for this contract constitute CECONY’s maximum exposure to loss with respect to the potential VIE. The following table summarizes the VIEs in which Con Edison Development has entered into as of September 30, 2018:
(a) With the exception of Texas Solar 4, Con Edison’s ownership interest is 50 percent and these projects are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. With the exception of Texas Solar 4, Con Edison is not the primary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of the entities are shared equally between Con Edison Development and third parties. Con Edison’s ownership interest in Texas Solar 4 is 80 percent and is consolidated in the financial statements. Con Edison is the primary beneficiary since the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economics of Texas Solar 4 is held by Con Edison Development. (b) Represents Con Edison Development’s ownership interest in the project. (c) For investments accounted for under the equity method, maximum exposure is equal to the carrying value of the investment on the consolidated balance sheet. For consolidated investments, such as Texas Solar 4, maximum exposure is equal to the net assets of the project on the consolidated balance sheet less any applicable noncontrolling interest ($7 million for Texas Solar 4). Con Edison did not provide any financial or other support during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 that was not previously contractually required.

New Financial Accounting Standards | New Financial Accounting Standards In February 2016, the FASB issued amendments on financial reporting of leasing transactions through Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842)." The amendments require lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. Lessees will need to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for virtually all of their leases (other than leases that meet the definition of a short-term lease). The Utilities, as regulated entities, are permitted to continue to recognize expense using the timing that conforms to the regulatory rate treatment. Lessor accounting is similar to the current model, but updated to align with “Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)." The amendments are effective, and the Companies plan to adopt the amendments, for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The amendments must be adopted using a modified retrospective transition and provide for certain practical expedients. Upon adoption of the amendments, the Companies expect to elect the following practical expedients: (1) for leases commenced prior to adoption date, the following three transition expedients that will allow the Companies to not reassess: (a) whether expired contracts contain leases; (b) the lease classification for expired leases and (c) the initial direct costs for existing leases; (2) if elected for an underlying asset class, an expedient that will allow the Companies to not apply the recognition requirements to short-term leases and an expedient that will allow the Companies to account for lease and associated non-lease components as a single lease component; (3) an expedient that allows the use of hindsight to determine lease term; and (4) an expedient that will allow the Companies to not evaluate under Topic 842 land easements that exist or expired before the entity’s adoption of Topic 842 and that were not previously accounted for as leases under the current lease standard. For leases currently classified as operating leases, upon adoption of the amendments, the Companies expect to recognize on their balance sheets right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. The adoption of the amendments is not expected to have a material effect on the Companies’ liquidity. The Companies are continuing to evaluate the potential impact of the amendments on the Companies’ results of operations and the additional disclosures required. The Companies will implement additional internal controls related to the amendments, however the adoption of the amendments is not expected to require a change that will materially affect the Companies’ internal control over financial reporting. In August 2017, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for derivatives and hedging through ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities.” The amendments in this update provide greater clarification on hedge accounting for risk components, presentation and disclosure of hedging instruments, and overall targeted improvements to simplify hedge accounting. For public entities, the amendments are effective, and the Companies plan to adopt the amendments, for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Companies are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity. In February 2018, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for reporting comprehensive income through ASU 2018-02, “Income Statement-Reporting Comprehensive Income (Topic 220): Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.” The amendments allow a reclassification from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings for stranded tax effects resulting from the TCJA. For public entities, the amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The Companies are electing to adopt the amendments in the fourth quarter of 2018. The impact of adoption on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity is expected to be immaterial. In August 2018, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for internal use software through ASU 2018-15, “Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract.” The amendments align the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in a hosting arrangement that is a service contract with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. For public entities, the amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Companies elected to adopt the amendments in the third quarter of 2018, prospectively for all in-scope implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption. The impact of adoption on the Companies’ financial position, results of operations and liquidity was immaterial. |

Acquisitions | Acquisitions In September 2018, a Con Edison Development subsidiary agreed to purchase Sempra Solar Holdings, LLC, a Sempra Energy subsidiary, for $1,540 million, subject to closing adjustments, including working capital. Sempra Solar Holdings, LLC has ownership interests in 981 megawatts (AC) of operating renewable electric production projects, including its 379 megawatts (AC) share of projects in which its subsidiaries have a 50 percent ownership interest and Con Edison Development subsidiaries have the remaining ownership interests (see Note M), and certain development rights with respect to solar electric production and energy storage projects. Most of the operating projects that are not jointly-owned have tax equity investors to which a percentage of earnings, tax attributes and cash flows are allocated. Sempra Solar Holdings, LLC subsidiaries have $576 million of existing project debt, including project debt associated with their share of the jointly-owned projects. Con Edison Development subsidiaries have $506 million of existing project debt associated with their share of the jointly-owned projects. Con Edison has been accounting for the interests of Con Edison Development subsidiaries in the jointly-owned projects under the equity method. Upon the closing of the acquisition, Con Edison expects to account for these projects and the other projects acquired on a consolidated basis. The acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions, including, among other things, expiration or early termination of the waiting period under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended, and the approvals of the FERC and the U.S. Department of Energy. Several banks have committed to provide bridge financing for the acquisition, subject to certain customary conditions. Con Edison has guaranteed the obligations of the Con Edison Development subsidiary under the purchase and sale agreement for the acquisition, including the payment of the purchase price for the acquisition.
