Credit Loss [Abstract]  
Schedule of gross receivables and related allowances for credit losses
We have included a table below that shows our gross third-party receivable balances and related allowance for credit losses.

Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues $712.1 $781.9 
Allowance for credit losses37.7 39.7 
Accounts receivable and unbilled revenues, net (1)

(1)Our exposure to credit losses for certain regulated utility customers is mitigated by a regulatory mechanism we have in place. Specifically, our residential tariffs include a mechanism for cost recovery or refund of uncollectible expense based on the difference between actual
uncollectible write-offs and the amounts recovered in rates. As a result, at June 30, 2026, $358.8 million, or 53.2%, of our net accounts receivable and unbilled revenues balance had regulatory protections in place to mitigate the exposure to credit losses.

There was a $14.0 million decrease in the allowance for credit losses at June 30, 2025, compared to January 1, 2025. The decrease was largely driven by customer write-offs, in addition to a decrease in past due account balances that we believe was related to a continued focus on collection efforts and the lower energy bills typically seen in the spring and summer months, enabling customers to pay down their arrears. After a customer is disconnected for a period of time without payment on their account, we will write off that customer balance.
