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 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 consolidated amounts as of December 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
