The statements of cash flows include our activity related to cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash. Our restricted cash primarily consists of the cash held in the Integrys rabbi trust, which is used to fund participants' benefits under the Integrys deferred compensation plan and certain Integrys non-qualified pension plans. All assets held within the rabbi trust are restricted as they can only be withdrawn from the trust to make qualifying benefit payments. Our restricted cash also consists of cash on deposit in financial institutions that is restricted to satisfy the requirements of certain debt agreements at WEC Infrastructure Wind Holding I LLC and WEPCo Environmental Trust. The restricted cash we received when WECI acquired ownership interests in certain wind generation projects is included in our restricted cash as well. This cash is restricted as it can only be used to pay for any remaining costs associated with the construction of the wind generation facilities.
