Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION	ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION Defined terms and abbreviations used herein have the meanings set forth in the Glossary of Terms. FET, a consolidated VIE of FE, is the parent of the FET Subsidiaries. Through its subsidiaries, FET owns high-voltage transmission facilities in PJM, which consist of 12,515 circuit miles of transmission lines with nominal voltages of 500 kV, 345 kV, 230 kV, 138 kV, 115 kV, 69 kV and 46 kV in Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia, Maryland and Virginia. FET plans, operates, and maintains its transmission system in accordance with NERC reliability standards and other applicable regulatory requirements. In addition, FET and its subsidiaries comply with the regulations, orders, policies and practices prescribed by FERC and the PUCO, PPUC, WVPSC, MDPSC and VSCC. On May 31, 2022, Brookfield acquired 19.9% of the issued and outstanding membership interests of FET. On March 25, 2024, Brookfield acquired an additional incremental 30% equity interest in FET. As a result of the closing of the transaction, Brookfield’s interest in FET increased from 19.9% to 49.9%, while FE retained the remaining 50.1% ownership interests of FET. FET continues to be consolidated in FirstEnergy’s financial statements. Pursuant to the terms of the FET P&SA II, in connection with the closing, Brookfield, FET and FE entered into the A&R Fourth FET LLC Agreement, which amended and restated in its entirety the Third Amended and Restated Limited Liability Company Agreement of FET. The A&R Fourth FET LLC Agreement, among other things, provides for the governance, exit, capital and distribution, and other arrangements for FET from and following the closing. Under the A&R Fourth FET LLC Agreement, as of the closing, the FET Board consists of five directors, two of whom are appointed by Brookfield and three of whom are appointed by FE. On May 20, 2026, FE, FET and Brookfield entered into the A&R FET LLC Agreement, which amends and restates the A&R Fourth FET LLC Agreement in its entirety. The A&R FET LLC Agreement implements the application of the parties’ existing governance arrangements under the A&R Fourth FET LLC Agreement to FET’s participation in Valley Link and Grid Growth. The relative ownership percentages of the members of FET, the size and composition of FET’s board of directors, the ownership-based thresholds at which Brookfield’s rights apply, and the scope of the matters as to which Brookfield has consent, consultation or other approval rights with respect to FET, in each case as set forth in the A&R Fourth FET LLC Agreement, are not modified by the A&R FET LLC Agreement. As of March 25, 2024, FET owns 100% of MAIT’s equity interests (Class A and Class B). FET presents FE’s ownership of FET’s special purpose membership interest net assets and net income as NCI. NCI is included as a component of equity on FET’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. So long as FE holds the FET special purpose membership interests, it will receive 100% of any Class B distributions made by MAIT. FET also owns a 34% equity interest in Valley Link, which is the holding company formed by FET, DominionHV, and Transource on November 25, 2024, for the purpose of managing and executing those projects awarded by PJM to the Valley Link Subsidiaries. The Valley Link Subsidiaries comprise the entities that are expected to develop, construct, own, operate and maintain those transmission projects awarded by PJM. FET owns a 50% equity interest in Grid Growth, which is the holding company formed by FET and Transource on February 13, 2026, for the purpose of managing and executing those projects awarded by PJM to Grid Growth and/or its subsidiaries. Grid Growth is the sole owner of Grid Growth Ohio and owns an 80% interest in Grid Growth EHV, with Transource owning the remaining interest. FET and its subsidiaries follow GAAP and comply with the related regulations, orders, policies and practices prescribed by the SEC, FERC and the PUCO, PPUC, WVPSC, MDPSC and VSCC. The accompanying interim financial statements as of September 30, 2026, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, are unaudited, but reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial statements. The Consolidated Balance Sheets as of December 31, 2025, were derived from audited financial statements. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make periodic estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The reported results of operations are not necessarily indicative of results of operations for any future period. These interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC for Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q. Certain information and disclosures normally included in financial statements and notes prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and notes included in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, filed with the SEC on February 24, 2026. FET and its subsidiaries consolidate all majority-owned subsidiaries over which they exercise control and, when applicable, entities for which they have a controlling financial interest. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation as appropriate and permitted pursuant to GAAP. FET and its subsidiaries consolidate a VIE (MAIT) when it is determined to be a primary beneficiary. Investments in affiliates over which FET and its subsidiaries have the ability to exercise significant influence, but do not have a controlling financial interest, follow the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the interest in the entity is reported as an investment in the Consolidated Balance Sheets and the percentage of FET's ownership share of the entity’s earnings is reported in the Consolidated Statements of Income. Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation. Economic Conditions FET and the FET Subsidiaries continue to monitor supply lead times in light of demand increases across the industry, including due to data center usage, and the imposition of tariffs and retaliatory tariffs that have been, and may be, imposed by the U.S. government in response. In addition, ongoing geopolitical conflicts have contributed to volatility in global energy markets and fuel and transportation costs, which may further impact supply availability or pricing. FET and the FET Subsidiaries continue to implement mitigation strategies to address volatility in interest rates, inflation, and supply constraints and do not expect any corresponding service disruptions or any material impact on its capital investment plan. However, a prolonged continuation or further increase in demand, sustained or escalating geopolitical tensions, rising fuel costs, or the continuation of uncertain or adverse macroeconomic conditions, including inflationary pressures and new or increased existing tariffs, could lead to an increase in supply chain disruptions that could, in turn, have an adverse effect on FET’s consolidated results of operations, cash flow and financial condition. Goodwill Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually on July 31 and more frequently if indicators of impairment arise. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, qualitative factors are assessed to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value (including goodwill). If it is concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then no further testing is required. However, if management concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value or bypasses the qualitative assessment, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed to identify a potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of impairment to be recognized, if any. No impairment of goodwill was indicated in 2026. A qualitative assessment was performed, assessing economic, industry and market considerations in addition to overall performance. Key factors used in the assessment included: interest rates, expected investments, utility sector market performance, regulatory and legal developments, and other market considerations. It was determined that the fair values of the reporting unit was, more likely than not, greater than their carrying values and a quantitative analysis was not necessary. Capitalized Financing Costs For the three months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, capitalized financing costs on FET’s Consolidated Statements of Income include $20 million and $16 million, respectively, of allowance for equity funds used during construction and $6 million and $7 million, respectively, of capitalized interest. For the nine months ended September 30, 2026, and 2025, capitalized financing costs on FET’s Consolidated Statements of Income include $56 million and $42 million, respectively, of allowance for equity funds used during construction and $17 million and $15 million, respectively, of capitalized interest. Investments Valley Link - On February 21, 2025, FET, DominionHV and Transource entered into the Valley Link Operating Agreement, which established the general framework for Valley Link and the Valley Link Subsidiaries to accept, design, develop, construct, own, operate and finance those transmission projects awarded by PJM to Valley Link. This general framework includes parameters regarding the relationship among the three members, confers governance rights to members so long as certain ownership percentages are maintained, as described below, and defines the list of projects that Valley Link will have the right to develop. Valley Link is the owner of the Valley Link Subsidiaries, which are organized in various states. On February 26, 2025, in response to the 2024 PJM RTEP Open Window, PJM awarded two electric transmission projects to Valley Link that, at the time of the award, were estimated to cost approximately $3 billion, with FET's share estimated to be approximately $1 billion. As of February 21, 2025, the relative ownership interests of the members are FET (34%), DominionHV (30%), and Transource (36%), and Valley Link will not be consolidated with FET for financial or tax reporting purposes and expects to be accounted for under equity method accounting. Investment balances as of September 30, 2026, and earnings during the first nine months of 2026 related to Valley Link were immaterial. Grid Growth - On February 13, 2026, FET and Transource entered into the Grid Growth Operating Agreement, which established the general framework for Grid Growth to accept, design, develop, construct, own, operate and finance certain transmission projects awarded by PJM to certain of the subsidiaries of Grid Growth. This general framework includes parameters regarding the relationship between the two members, confers governance rights to members so long as certain ownership percentages are maintained and defines the list of projects that Grid Growth will have the right to develop. As of February 13, 2026, the relative ownership interests of the members are 50% by each of FET and Transource. Grid Growth is the sole owner of Grid Growth Ohio and owns an 80% interest in Grid Growth EHV, with Transource owning the remaining interest. FET’s ownership interest in Grid Growth is subject to the equity method of accounting. There were no investment balances as of September 30, 2026, and no earnings were recognized during the first nine months of 2026 related to Grid Growth. On February 12, 2026, in response to the 2025 PJM RTEP Open Window, PJM awarded a project to Grid Growth that, at the time of the award, was estimated to cost approximately $1 billion, with FET’s share estimated to be approximately $448 million. PATH-WV - A subsidiary of FET formerly owned 50% of PATH-WV, which was a joint venture with a subsidiary of AEP. In March 2024, PATH completed the process of terminating all of its FERC-jurisdictional rates and facilities, with the result that PATH no longer is a “public utility” and no longer is subject to FERC jurisdiction. During the second quarter of 2026, FET received cash payments of approximately $21 million after the liquidation of PATH was authorized by FirstEnergy and its non-affiliated joint venture partner. The cash payment is in “PATH-WV liquidation distribution” within “Cash from Investing Activities” of FET’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Segment Information FET has one operating segment, which is the entire entity. FET's Consolidated Statements of Income are consistent with the internal financial reports used by FET's President, its CODM. FET's CODM uses earnings attributable to FET to regularly assess performance and considers actual versus budget variances to make operating decisions and allocate resources. FET considers Other operating expenses, Provision for depreciation, General taxes, Interest expense and Income taxes to be significant expenses. See the Consolidated Statements of Income. Total Assets are reported on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and Capital investments are reported within Cash Flows from Investing on the Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows. New Accounting Pronouncements Recently Issued Pronouncements - The following new authoritative accounting guidance issued by the FASB has not yet been adopted. Unless otherwise indicated, management is currently assessing the impact such guidance may have on its financial statements and disclosures, as well as the potential to early adopt (where applicable). Management has assessed other FASB issuances of new standards not described below based upon the current expectation that such new standards will not significantly impact FET's financial statements. ASU 2024-03, "Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40)" (Issued in November 2024 and subsequently updated within ASU 2025-01): ASU 2024-03 requires disaggregated disclosure of income statement expenses for public business entities. The ASU does not change the expense captions an entity presents on the face of the income statement; rather, it requires disaggregation of certain expense captions into specified categories in disclosures within the footnotes to the financial statements. ASU 2024-03 is effective for FET beginning with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2027, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is permitted to be applied prospectively, and comparative disclosures are not required for reporting periods beginning before the effective date. Entities can elect to apply the new standard retrospectively to any or all prior periods presented in the financial statements. ASU 2025-06, "Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software” (Issued in September 2025): ASU 2025-06 amends the existing standard that refers to various stages of a software development project to align better with current software development methods, such as agile programming. Under the new standard, entities will start capitalizing eligible costs when management has authorized and committed to funding the software project, and when it is probable that the project will be completed and the software will be used to perform the function intended. In evaluating whether it is probable that the project will be completed, an entity is required to consider whether there is significant uncertainty associated with the development activities of the software. ASU 2025-06 is effective for FET beginning with the financial statements for the first quarter of 2028, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is permitted to be applied using a prospective, retrospective or modified transition approach. ASU 2025-10, “Government Grants (Topic 832): Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities” (Issued in December 2025): ASU 2025-10 establishes authoritative guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of government grants received by business entities. ASU 2025-10 requires that a government grant be recognized when it is probable that the entity will comply with the conditions of the grant and that the grant will be received. It permits two approaches for asset related grants either the cost reduction method (reduce the carrying amount of the asset) or the deferred income method (recognize income over the useful life of the asset). Income-related grants are recognized systematically in income as the related costs are incurred. ASU 2025-10 is effective for FET beginning with financial statements for the first quarter of 2029, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is permitted to be applied using a modified prospective, modified retrospective or full retrospective approach. ASU 2026‑02, “Environmental Credits and Environmental Credit Obligations (Topic 818)” (Issued in May 2026): ASU 2026‑02 establishes new guidance for the recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of environmental credits and environmental credit obligations. The standard requires entities to account for environmental credits based on their intended use, including whether the credits are expected to be used for compliance purposes, held for sale, or used for voluntary initiatives. The guidance also requires recognition of liabilities for environmental credit obligations and introduces a measurement model that incorporates both credits on hand and credits required to settle the obligation. ASU 2026‑02 is permitted to be applied retrospectively through a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other appropriate components of equity or net assets on the balance sheet) as of the beginning of the annual reporting period of adoption. ASU 2026‑02 is effective for FET beginning with financial statements for the first quarter of 2028, with early adoption permitted.

Goodwill is evaluated for impairment annually on July 31 and more frequently if indicators of impairment arise. In evaluating goodwill for impairment, qualitative factors are assessed to determine whether it is more likely than not (that is, likelihood of more than 50%) that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value (including goodwill). If it is concluded that it is not more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value, then no further testing is required. However, if management concludes that it is more likely than not that the fair value of the reporting unit is less than its carrying value or bypasses the qualitative assessment, then the quantitative goodwill impairment test is performed to identify a potential goodwill impairment and measure the amount of impairment to be recognized, if any.

No impairment of goodwill was indicated in 2026. A qualitative assessment was performed, assessing economic, industry and market considerations in addition to overall performance. Key factors used in the assessment included: interest rates, expected investments, utility sector market performance, regulatory and legal developments, and other market considerations. It was determined that the fair values of the reporting unit was, more likely than not, greater than their carrying values and a quantitative analysis was not necessary.
