[1] Unrealized gains and losses on commodity risk-related derivative instruments are recorded to regulatory assets or liabilities, rather than being recorded to the Consolidated Statements of Income. These amounts exclude the impact of cash collateral postings.
[2] These amounts are fully passed through to customers in rates. Accordingly, net income was not impacted by realized amounts on these instruments.
