Sources of Revenue

We derive our revenues from contracts with customers primarily from sales of electricity to our regulated retail customers. Our retail electric services and tariff rates are regulated by the ACC. Revenues from wholesale energy sales and transmission services for others represent energy and transmission sales to wholesale customers. Our wholesale activities and tariff rates are regulated by the United States Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC").

Revenue Activities

Our revenues are primarily derived from activities that are classified as revenues from contracts with customers. This includes sales of electricity to our regulated retail customers and wholesale and transmission activities. Our revenues from contracts with customers for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 were $858 million and $1,578 million, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $954 million and $1,640 million, respectively.

We have certain revenues that do not meet the specific accounting criteria to be classified as revenues from contracts with customers. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, our revenues that do not qualify as revenue from contracts with customers were $12 million and $32 million, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 were $20 million and $27 million, respectively. This relates primarily to certain regulatory cost recovery mechanisms that are considered alternative revenue programs. We recognize revenue associated with alternative revenue programs when specific events permitting recognition are completed. Certain amounts associated with alternative revenue programs will subsequently be billed to customers; however, we do not reclassify billed amounts into revenue from contracts with customers. See Note 4 for a discussion of our regulatory cost recovery mechanisms.
