Item 8.01 Other Events

We are filing this Form 8-K to enable investors to review certain financial data for the quarter ended March 31, 2005, reflected in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, on a basis consistent with a realignment of our business segments which was adopted in the second quarter of 2005. Through the first quarter of 2005, we operated our business through two strategic business units (Energy Resources and Energy Distribution). In the second quarter of 2005, we have combined the previous two segments into a single segment that more closely reflects how we operate and manage our business. Based on this structure we set strategic goals, allocate resources and evaluate performance.
