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 condensed consolidated amounts as of March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024.
