13. Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
- Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities
We measure and classify fair value measurements in accordance with the hierarchy as defined by GAAP. The hierarchy prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:
Level 1 — quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to liquidate as of the reporting date.
Level 2 — inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.
Level 3 — unobservable inputs, such as internally developed pricing models or third-party valuations for the asset or liability due to little or no market activity for the asset or liability.
Fair Value of Financial Liabilities Recorded at Amortized Cost
The following table presents the carrying amounts and fair values of our long-term debt and SNF obligation as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024. We have no financial liabilities classified as Level 1. The carrying amounts of the short-term liabilities as presented in the Consolidated Balance Sheets are representative of their fair value (Level 2) because of the short-term nature of these instruments.
| September 30, 2025 · December 31, 2024 | ||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrying Amount · Fair Value · Carrying Amount · Fair Value | ||||||||
| Level 2 · Level 3 · Total · Level 2 · Level 3 · Total | ||||||||
| Long-Term Debt, including amounts due within one year | $7,387 | $7,060 | $681 | $7,741 | $8,412 | $7,805 | $716 | $8,521 |
| SNF Obligation | 1,412 | 1,407 | — | 1,407 | 1,366 | 1,278 | — | 1,278 |
Valuation Techniques Used to Determine Fair Value and Net Asset Value
Our valuation techniques used to measure the fair value and net asset value of the assets and liabilities are in accordance with the policies discussed in Note 17 — Fair Value of Financial Assets and Liabilities of our 2024 Form 10-K.
Recurring Fair Value Measurements

Mark-to-Market Derivatives
The following table presents the significant inputs to the forward curve used to value these positions:
| Type of trade · Fair Value as of September 30, 2025 · Fair Value as of December 31, 2024 · Valuation Technique · Unobservable Input · 2025 Range & Arithmetic Average · 2024 Range & Arithmetic Average | |||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Mark-to-market derivatives—Economic hedges(a)(b) | $(396) | $(137) | Discounted Cash Flow | Forward power price | $5.83 - $154 | $52 | $2.57 - $140 | $49 | |||
| Forward gas price | $(0.22) - $14 | $3.83 | $2.09 - $15 | $3.68 | |||||||
| Option Model | Volatility percentage | 6% - 174% | 61% | 23% - 141% | 57% | ||||||
(a)The valuation techniques, unobservable inputs, ranges, and arithmetic averages are the same for the asset and liability positions.
(b)The fair values do not include cash collateral posted (received) on Level 3 positions of $341 million and $136 million as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
The inputs listed above, which are as of the balance sheet date, would have a direct impact on the fair values of the above instruments if they were adjusted. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of our commodity derivatives are forward commodity prices and for options is price volatility. Increases (decreases) in the forward commodity price in isolation would result in significantly higher (lower) fair values for long positions (contracts that give us the obligation or option to purchase a commodity), with offsetting impacts to short positions (contracts that give us the obligation or right to sell a commodity). Increases (decreases) in volatility would increase (decrease) the value for the holder of the option (writer of the option). Generally, a change in the estimate of forward commodity prices is unrelated to a change in the estimate of volatility of prices. An increase to the heat rate would increase the fair value accordingly. Generally, interrelationships exist between market prices of natural gas and power. As such, an increase in natural gas pricing would potentially have a similar impact on forward power markets.
