Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
Disclosures about Segments
Note 11 — Disclosures about Segments
Cleco’s reportable segments are based on its method of internal reporting, which disaggregates business units by its first-tier subsidiary. Cleco’s reportable segments are Cleco Power and Cleco Cajun.
Each reportable segment engages in business activities from which it earns revenue and incurs expenses. Segment managers report periodically to Cleco’s CEO, who is Cleco’s chief operating decision maker, with discrete financial information and, at least quarterly, present discrete financial information to Cleco and Cleco Power’s Boards of Managers. The reportable segment prepares budgets that are presented to and approved by Cleco and Cleco Power’s Boards of Managers. The column shown as Other in the following tables includes the holding company, a shared services subsidiary, and an investment subsidiary. Upon the completion of the Cleco Cajun Transaction on February 4, 2019, Cleco Cajun became a reportable segment. For more information on the transaction, see Note 2 — “Business Combinations.” There are no other changes to Cleco’s existing reportable segments.
The financial results in the following tables are presented on an accrual basis. EBITDA is a key non-GAAP financial measure used by the CEO to assess the operating performance of Cleco’s segments. Management evaluates the performance of Cleco’s segments and allocates resources to them based on segment profit and the requirements to implement strategic initiatives and projects to meet current business objectives. EBITDA is defined as net income adjusted for interest, income taxes, depreciation, and amortization. Depreciation and amortization in the following tables includes amortization of intangible assets and liabilities recorded for the fair value adjustment of wholesale power supply agreements as a result of the 2016 Merger and the Cleco Cajun Transaction, as well as amortization of deferred lease revenue resulting from the Cleco Cajun Transaction. Material intercompany transactions occur on a regular basis. These intercompany transactions relate primarily to joint and common administrative support services as well as transmission services provided by Cleco Power to Cleco Cajun.
