Certain of our derivative and nonderivative commodity instruments contain provisions that could require “adequate assurance” in the event of a material change in our creditworthiness, or the posting of additional collateral for instruments in net liability positions, if triggered by a decrease in credit ratings. The following table shows the aggregate fair value of all derivative instruments with specific credit risk related contingent features that were in a liability position:

Non-Hedge Derivatives

 

Utility derivatives include natural gas purchase contracts, a coal purchase contract, financial derivative contracts (futures, options, and swaps), and FTRs used to manage electric transmission congestion costs. Both the electric and natural gas utility segments use futures, options, and swaps to manage the risks associated with the market price volatility of natural gas supply costs, and the costs of gasoline and diesel fuel used by utility vehicles. The electric utility segment also uses oil futures and options to manage price risk related to coal transportation.

Cash Flow Hedges

 

PGL uses natural gas contracts designated as cash flow hedges to hedge changes in the price of natural gas used to support operations. The cost of natural gas used to support operations is not a component of the natural gas costs recovered from customers on a one-for-one basis. These contracts extend through July 2013. PGL had the following notional volumes of outstanding contracts that were designated as cash flow hedges:

Changes in the fair values of the effective portions of these contracts are included in OCI, net of taxes. Amounts recorded in OCI related to these cash flow hedges will be recognized in earnings when the hedged transactions occur, or if it is probable that the hedged transaction will not occur. The tables below show the amounts related to cash flow hedges recorded in OCI and in earnings:

No amounts were reclassified from accumulated OCI into earnings as a result of the discontinuance of cash flow hedge accounting related to these natural gas contracts during 2011, 2010, and 2009. Cash flow hedge ineffectiveness related to these natural gas contracts also was not significant during 2011, 2010, and 2009. When testing for effectiveness, no portion of these derivative instruments was excluded. In the next 12 months, an insignificant loss is expected to be recognized in earnings as the hedged transactions occur.

 

Nonregulated Segments

 

Non-Hedge Derivatives

 

Integrys Energy Services enters into derivative contracts such as futures, forwards, options, and swaps that are not designated as accounting hedges under GAAP. These contracts are used to manage commodity price risk primarily associated with customer-related contracts.

 

As of July 1, 2011, Integrys Energy Services discontinued the use of cash flow hedge accounting. At December 31, 2011, the amount deferred in accumulated OCI related to cash flow hedges at Integrys Energy Services was a pre-tax loss of $9.9 million. This amount relates to natural gas futures, forwards, and swaps that extend through April 2014, and electric futures, forwards, and swaps that extend through May 2017. This amount will be recognized in earnings as the forecasted transactions occur, or if it becomes probable that the forecasted transactions will not occur.

 

In the next 12 months, pre-tax losses of $2.0 million and $4.3 million related to the discontinued cash flow hedges of natural gas contracts and electric contracts, respectively, are expected to be recognized in earnings as the forecasted transactions occur. These amounts are expected to be offset by the settlement of the related nonderivative contracts.

Fair Value Hedges

 

At PELLC, an interest rate swap designated as a fair value hedge was used to hedge changes in the fair value of $50.0 million of the $325.0 million Series A 6.9% notes. The interest rate swap and the notes were settled in January 2011. The changes in the fair value of this hedge were recognized in earnings, as were the changes in fair value of the hedged item. Unrealized gains (losses) related to the fair value hedge and the related hedged item are shown in the table below:

Fair value hedge ineffectiveness recorded in interest expense on the Statements of Income was not significant for 2011, 2010, and 2009. No amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing related to the interest rate swap during 2011, 2010, and 2009.

 

Cash Flow Hedges

 

Prior to July 1, 2011, Integrys Energy Services designated derivative contracts such as futures, forwards, and swaps as accounting hedges under GAAP. These contracts are used to manage commodity price risk associated with customer-related contracts.

 

In addition, we entered into interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges to hedge the variability in forecasted interest payments on debt issuance. The swaps were terminated when the related debt was issued.
