BUSINESS SEGMENT INFORMATION [Abstract]

Segment Reporting Information, by Segment

The accounting policies of the operating segments are the same as those described in Note 2 – Basis of Presentation.  The Regulated Utility segment includes inter-segment costs related to leased office space provided by one non-utility business, calculated on the lower of cost or market method, which are eliminated to reconcile to the  Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The Regulated Utility segment also allocates certain corporate costs to the non-utility businesses.  The measurement of depreciation, interest, and capital expenditures are predominately related to our Regulated Utility segment.  These amounts in our non-utility business are negligible and account for approximately less than 1% of condensed consolidated amounts as of September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023.
