Purpose of Fee Table , Note [Text Block]

The purpose of the table and the example below is to help you understand all fees and expenses that you, as a holder of Common Shares (“Common Shareholder”), would bear directly or indirectly. The table shows the expenses of the Company as a percentage of the average net assets applicable to Common Shares, and not as a percentage of total assets or Managed Assets (as defined in the accompanying Prospectus). Annual Expenses are based on amounts for the fiscal semi-annual period ended May 31, 2026 (annualized).

                       
Other Transaction Fees, Note [Text Block] Shareholders will pay a transaction fee of $15 plus brokerage charges if they direct the Plan Agent to sell Common Shares held in a Plan account. See “Automatic Dividend Reinvestment and Cash Purchase Plan” in the Prospectus.                        
Other Expenses, Note [Text Block] “Other Expenses” reflects actual costs incurred as of semi-annual fiscal period ended May 31, 2026 (annualized) for operational expenses, including payments to our transfer agent, administrator, custodian, legal, and fund accounting expenses.                        
Management Fee not based on Net Assets, Note [Text Block] Reflects management fee as of May 31, 2026. “Management Fee” is based on Managed Assets, which means the average daily gross asset value of the Company (which includes assets attributable to the principal amount of any borrowings), minus accrued liabilities (other than the principal amount of such borrowings), and reflects an annual rate of 0.95% of average monthly Managed Assets up to $2.5 billion, 0.90% of average monthly Managed Assets between $2.5 billion and $3.5 billion, and 0.85% of average monthly Managed Assets above $3.5 billion.

Investment Objectives and Practices [Text Block]

Investment Objective

 

Our investment objective is to seek a high level of total return with an emphasis on current distributions paid to stockholders. We cannot assure you that we will achieve our investment objective.

                       
Risk Factors [Table Text Block]

Risk Factors

 

Investing in our Common Shares involves substantial risks arising from, among other things, our strategies, concentration in the energy infrastructure industry, non-diversified status, use of leverage for investment purposes, use of derivatives for investment and hedging purposes, and investment, directly or indirectly, in less liquid investments. You could lose some or all of your investment. See “Risk Factors” beginning on page 26 of the accompanying Prospectus. You should consider carefully these risks together with all of the other information contained in this Prospectus Supplement and the accompanying Prospectus before making a decision to purchase our Common Shares.

Market and Net Asset Value Information

Our currently outstanding Common Shares are, and the Common Shares offered by this Prospectus Supplement and accompanying Prospectus will be, subject to notice of issuance, listed on the NYSE under the symbol “TYG.” Our Common Shares commenced trading on the NYSE on February 25, 2004.

Our Common Shares have traded both at a premium and at a discount in relation to NAV. We cannot predict whether our Common Shares will trade in the future at a premium or discount to NAV. The provisions of the Investment Company Act of 1940, as amended (the “1940 Act”), generally require that the public offering price of common stock (less any underwriting commissions and discounts) must equal or exceed the NAV per share of a company’s additional common stock (calculated within 48 hours of pricing). Our issuance of additional Common Shares may have an adverse effect on prices in the secondary market for our Common Shares by increasing the number of Common Shares available, which may put downward pressure on the market price for our Common Shares. The continued development of alternatives as vehicles for investing in a portfolio of energy infrastructure MLPs, including other publicly traded investment companies and private funds, may reduce or eliminate any tendency of our Common Shares to trade at a premium in the future. Shares of common stock of closed-end investment companies frequently trade at a discount from NAV. See “Risk Factors — Risks Related to Our Operations — Market Discount Risk” in the accompanying Prospectus.

The following table sets forth for each of the periods indicated the high and low closing market prices for our Common Shares on the NYSE, the NAV per share and the premium or discount to NAV per share at which our Common Shares were trading. See “Determination of Net Asset Value” in the accompanying Prospectus for information as to the determination of our NAV.
