Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS:
ASC 280, Segment Reporting, establishes standards for reporting information about operating segments and requires that a public business enterprise report financial and descriptive information about its reportable operating segments. Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise for which separate financial information is available that is regularly evaluated by the CODM in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance.

Beginning with the first quarter of 2021, our internal management reporting, specifically around our nonutility businesses, changed primarily due to recent acquisitions and new product lines entered into. These were primarily within the fuel cell, solar, RNG, and retail businesses. See Notes 1 and 20 for information about these acquisitions.

As a result of these changes in our businesses, the Company realigned its operating segments. The realigned segments reflect the financial information regularly evaluated by the CODM, which for SJI is the Company's Chief Executive Officer.

The operating segments are as follows:

•SJG utility operations consist primarily of natural gas distribution to residential, commercial and industrial customers in southern New Jersey.

•ETG utility operations consist primarily of natural gas distribution to residential, commercial and industrial customers in northern and central New Jersey.

•ELK utility operations consist of natural gas distribution to residential, commercial and industrial customers in Maryland. As discussed in Note 1, on July 31, 2020, SJI sold ELK to a third-party buyer.

•Wholesale energy operations include the activities of SJRG and SJEX.
•Retail services operations includes the activities of SJE, SJESP and SJEI, as well as our equity interest in Millennium.

•Renewables consists of:
◦The Catamaran joint venture, which owns Annadale and Bronx Midco, along with a solar project in Massachusetts.
◦Solar-generation sites located in New Jersey, and three legacy solar projects, one of which was sold during the first quarter of 2020.
◦The activities of ACLE, BCLE, SCLE and SXLE, which have all ceased operations (see Note 1).
◦MTF and ACB, which were sold in the first quarter of 2020.

• Decarbonization consists of:
◦SJI Renewables Energy Ventures, LLC, which includes our equity interest in REV, which is included in Equity in (Loss) Earnings of Affiliated Companies on the consolidated statements of income.
◦SJI RNG Devco, LLC, which includes costs incurred to develop renewable natural gas operations at certain dairy farms along with the related development rights acquired in 2020.

•Midstream invests in infrastructure and other midstream projects, including an investment in PennEast for which development ceased in September 2021 (see Note 3).

•Corporate & Services segment includes costs related to financing, acquisitions and divestitures, and other unallocated costs.

•Intersegment represents intercompany transactions among the above SJI consolidated entities.
  
SJI groups its utility businesses under its wholly-owned subsidiary SJIU. This group consists of the gas utility operations of SJG and ETG and, until its sale, ELK. SJI groups its nonutility operations into separate categories: Energy Management; Energy Production; Midstream; and Corporate & Services. Energy Management includes wholesale energy operations and retail services. Energy Production includes renewables and decarbonization. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. See Note 1.

Information about SJI’s operations in different reportable operating segments is presented below (in thousands). All prior periods were revised to conform to the new segment alignment noted above.
