Risks and Uncertainties [Abstract]
Risks and Uncertainties	Risks & Uncertainties COVID-19 Pandemic The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted global economic activity, including electricity and energy consumption, and caused significant volatility in financial markets. Many countries, including the U.S., reacted to the pandemic by instituting quarantines and mandating business and school closures or limitations and other social distancing measures. Responses to the COVID-19 pandemic by the State of Ohio and its residents and businesses continue to evolve as virus variants emerge, vaccine availability and usage continues and the state and businesses review and adjust the scope and requirements of social distancing measures. Social distancing measures designed to slow the spread of the virus, such as business closures and operations limitations, impact energy demand within our service territory. We continue to take a variety of measures in response to the spread of COVID-19 to ensure our ability to generate, transmit, distribute and sell electric energy, ensure the health and safety of our employees, contractors, customers and communities and provide essential services to the communities in which we operate. In addition to the impacts to demand within our service territory, we also have incurred and expect to continue to incur expenses relating to COVID-19, including those that relate to events outside of our control. The magnitude and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic is unknown at this time and may have material and adverse effects on our results of operations, financial condition and cash flows in future periods.
