Equity [Abstract]  
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY
Common Stock Issuances
In November 2023, in connection with our acquisition of FCG, we completed an overnight offering resulting in the issuance of 4.4 million shares of our common stock at a price per share of $82.72 (net of underwriter discounts and commissions). We received net proceeds of $366.4 million which were used to partially finance the acquisition.

We maintain an effective shelf registration statement with the SEC for the issuance of shares under our DRIP and our previous ATM programs. Depending on our capital needs and subject to market conditions, in addition to other possible debt and equity offerings, we may issue additional shares under the direct stock purchase component of the DRIP. There were no issuances under the DRIP in 2023. In 2022, we issued less than 0.1 million shares at an average price per share of $136.26 and received net proceeds of $4.5 million under the DRIP. Our most recent ATM equity program, which allowed us to issue and sell shares of our common stock up to an aggregate offering price of $75 million, expired in June 2023.

Net proceeds from share issuances under our DRIP and ATM programs are used for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, financing of capital expenditures, repayment of short-term debt, financing acquisitions, investing in subsidiaries, and general working capital purposes.
Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
Defined benefit pension and postretirement plan items, unrealized gains (losses) of our propane swap agreements designated as commodity contract cash flow hedges, and the unrealized gains (losses) of our interest rate swap agreements designated as cash flow hedges are the components of our accumulated other comprehensive income (loss).
