APS shares ownership of some of its generating and transmission facilities with other companies.  We are responsible for our share of operating costs, as well as for providing our own financing.  Our share of operating expenses and utility plant costs related to these facilities is accounted for using proportional consolidation.  The following table shows APS’s interests in those jointly-owned facilities recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):
