Regulatory Assets and Liabilities Disclosure [Abstract]
Regulatory assets not earning a rate of return	$ 178.9	$ 174.3	$ 177.2

Remaining balance of regulatory assets for which no return on investment during recovery is provided. In some cases, a regulator may permit an enterprise to include a cost that would be charged to expense by an unregulated enterprise as an allowable cost over a period of time by amortizing that cost for rate-making purposes, but the regulator does not include the unrecovered amount in the rate base.
