The following table presents the fair value reconciliation of Level 3 power derivative contract assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis for the three and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024:

For the three months ended June 30:
Beginning balance at April 1	$	5	$	(67)	$	(62)		$	2	$	(54)	$	(52)
Realized and unrealized gains/(losses) included in regulatory assets/liabilities	13		(13)		—			15		(12)		3


Settlements	(5)		4		(1)			(3)		5		2


Ending balance at June 30	$	13	$	(76)	$	(63)		$	14	$	(61)	$	(47)

Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Nonrecurring Basis, Valuation Techniques

The following table describes the valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs utilized for the fair value of our Level 3 power derivative contract assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2025, and December 31, 2024:


			Fair Value						Weighted Average(b)
	Commodity		Assets		Liabilities	Valuation Technique(s)	Unobservable Input(a)	Range
2025	Power(c)	$	13	$	(76)	Discounted cash flow	Average forward peak and off-peak pricing – forwards/swaps ($/MWh)	30 – 65	41

							Nodal basis ($/MWh)	(10) – (2)	(5)


2024	Power(c)	$	6	$	(53)	Discounted cash flow	Average forward peak and off-peak pricing – forwards/swaps ($/MWh)	32 – 69	45

							Nodal basis ($/MWh)	(8) – (2)	(5)

(a)Generally, significant increases (decreases) in these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly higher (lower) fair value measurement.

(b)Unobservable inputs were weighted by relative fair value.

(c)Valuations use visible forward prices adjusted for nodal-to-hub basis differentials.

- Definition

Tabular disclosure of the fair value measurement of assets using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3), a reconciliation of the beginning and ending balances, separately presenting changes during the period attributable to the following: (1) total gains or losses for the period (realized and unrealized), segregating those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets) and gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), and a description of where those gains or losses included in earnings (or changes in net assets) are reported in the statement of income (or activities); (2) purchases, sales, issues, and settlements (each type disclosed separately); and (3) transfers in and transfers out of Level 3 (for example, transfers due to changes in the observability of significant inputs), by class of asset.
