18. Supplementary Financial Information

  1. SUPPLEMENTARY FINANCIAL INFORMATION

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In the first quarter of 2023, we recognized an impairment loss of $49 million related to our Kincaid generation facility in Illinois as a result of a significant decrease in the projected operating margins of the facility, primarily driven by a decrease in projected power prices. The impairment is reported in our Sunset segment and includes write-downs of property, plant and equipment of $45 million, write-downs of inventory of $2 million and write-downs of operating lease right-of-use assets of $2 million.

In determining the fair value of the impaired asset group, we utilized the income approach described in ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement.
