RISK MANAGEMENT ACTIVITIES

We use derivative instruments to manage commodity costs. None of these derivatives are designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The derivatives include physical commodity contracts and NYMEX futures and options used by both the electric and natural gas utility segments to manage the risks associated with the market price volatility of natural gas costs and the costs of gasoline and diesel fuel used by our utility vehicles. The electric utility segment also uses financial transmission rights (FTRs) to manage electric transmission congestion costs and NYMEX oil futures and options to reduce price risk related to coal transportation.

The tables below show our assets and liabilities from risk management activities:

Our master netting and similar arrangements have conditional rights of setoff that can be enforced under a variety of situations, including counterparty default or credit rating downgrade below investment grade. Financial collateral received or provided is restricted to the extent that it is required per the terms of the related agreements. The net amounts in the above table include the netting of cash collateral, as applicable. We have trade receivables and trade payables, subject to master netting or similar arrangements, that are not included in the above table. These amounts may offset (or conditionally offset) the net amounts presented in the above table.

The following table shows our cash collateral positions:
