Segment Reporting [Abstract]  
SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS
SEGMENTS OF BUSINESS:

SJI operates in several different reportable operating segments which reflect the financial information regularly evaluated by the chief operating decision maker ("CODM"). These segments are as follows:

SJG utility operations consist primarily of natural gas distribution to residential, commercial and industrial customers in southern New Jersey.
ETG utility operations consist of natural gas distribution to residential, commercial and industrial customers in northern and central New Jersey.
ELK utility operations consist of natural gas distribution to residential, commercial and industrial customers in Maryland.
Wholesale energy operations include the activities of SJRG and SJEX.
SJE is involved in both retail gas and retail electric activities.
Retail gas and other operations include natural gas acquisition and transportation service business lines.
Retail electric operations consist of electricity acquisition and transportation to commercial, industrial and residential customers.
On-site energy production consists of Marina's thermal energy facility and other energy-related projects. Also included in this segment are the activities of ACB, ACLE, BCLE, SCLE, SXLE, MCS, NBS and SBS. As discussed in Notes 1 and 18, in October 2018, Marina closed on the sale of the first group of sites related to Marina's portfolio of solar energy assets to a third party. Included in this group of sites were the wholly-owned subsidiaries of MCS, NBS and SBS.
Appliance service operations includes SJESP, which serviced residential and small commercial HVAC systems, installed small commercial HVAC systems, provided plumbing services and serviced appliances under warranty via a subcontractor arrangement as well as on a time and materials basis. On September 1, 2017, SJESP sold certain assets of its residential and small commercial HVAC and plumbing business to a third party. SJESP continues to receive commissions paid on service contracts from the third party and will do so on a going forward basis.
Midstream was formed to invest in infrastructure and other midstream projects, including a current project to build a natural gas pipeline in Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
Corporate & Services segment includes the costs related to Acquistion, along with other unallocated costs.
 
SJI groups its utility businesses under its wholly-owned subsidiary SJI Utilities (SJIU). This group consists of gas utility operations of SJG, ETG and ELK. SJI groups its nonutility operations into two categories: Energy Group and Energy Services. Energy Group includes wholesale energy, retail gas and other, and retail electric operations. Energy Services includes on-site energy production and appliance service operations. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in the summary of significant accounting policies. Intersegment sales and transfers are treated as if the sales or transfers were to third parties at current market prices.

Information about SJI’s operations in different reportable operating segments is presented below (in thousands):
