Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]
Basis of Accounting Presentation	Basis of Accounting Presentation Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc. ("CPG") is a growth-oriented Delaware corporation formed on September 26, 2014 to own, operate and develop a portfolio of pipelines, storage and related midstream assets. CPG owns and operates, through its subsidiaries, approximately 15,000 miles of strategically located interstate gas pipelines extending from New York to the Gulf of Mexico and one of the nation's largest underground natural gas storage systems, with approximately 300 MMDth of working gas capacity, as well as related gathering and processing assets. CPG indirectly owns the general partner of CPPL and all of CPPL's subordinated units and incentive distribution rights. CPG did not have any material assets or liabilities as a separate corporate entity until the contribution of CEG from NiSource on February 11, 2015. As a result of this contribution, the financial statements for periods as of and subsequent to September 26, 2014 reflect the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows for CPG. CPG is engaged in regulated gas transportation and storage services for LDCs, marketers, producers and industrial and commercial customers located in northeastern, mid-Atlantic, Midwestern and southern states and the District of Columbia along with unregulated businesses that include midstream services, including gathering, treating, conditioning, processing, compression and liquids handling, and development of mineral rights positions. The regulated services are performed under a tariff at rates subject to FERC approval. Separation. On June 2, 2015, NiSource announced that its board of directors approved the separation of CPG from NiSource (the "Separation") through the distribution of CPG common stock to holders of NiSource common stock as of June 19, 2015 (the "Record Date"). On July 1, 2015, NiSource distributed, pursuant to an effective registration statement on Form 10, 317.6 million shares, one share of CPG common stock for every one share of NiSource common stock held by NiSource stockholders on the Record Date. As of July 1, 2015, CPG was an independent, publicly traded company, and NiSource did not retain any ownership interest in CPG. CPG's common stock began trading "regular-way" under the ticker symbol "CPGX" on the NYSE on July 2, 2015. In connection with the Separation, CPG completed the following transactions: • In May 2015, CPG completed its private placement of senior notes and received proceeds of approximately $2,722.3 million . CPG utilized a portion of the proceeds to repay approximately $1,087.3 million of intercompany debt and short-term borrowings, including, net amounts due from the money pool between CPG and NiSource Finance Corp. ("NiSource Finance"); • CPG further utilized the proceeds from the senior notes to make a cash distribution of approximately $1,450.0 million to NiSource; and • Accounts related to NiSource and its subsidiaries, including accounts receivable and accounts payable, were reclassified from affiliated to non-affiliated. Agreements with NiSource following the Separation . CPG entered into the Separation and Distribution Agreement and several other agreements with NiSource to effect the Separation and provide a framework for CPG's relationship with NiSource, and its subsidiaries, after the Separation. The Separation and Distribution Agreement contains many of the key provisions related to CPG's separation from NiSource and the distribution of CPG's shares of common stock to NiSource's stockholders, including cross-indemnities between CPG and NiSource. In general, NiSource has agreed to indemnify CPG for any liabilities relating to NiSource's business and CPG has agreed to indemnify NiSource for any liabilities relating to CPG's business. In addition to the Separation and Distribution Agreement, CPG entered into the following agreements with NiSource related to the Separation: • Tax Allocation Agreement - Provides for the respective rights, responsibilities, and obligations of NiSource and CPG with respect to tax liabilities and benefits, tax attributes, the preparation and filing of tax returns, tax contests, and certain other matters regarding taxes. • Employee Matters Agreement - Provides for the respective obligations to employees and former employees who are or were associated with CPG (including those employees who transferred employment from NiSource to CPG prior to the Separation) and for other employment and employee benefits matters. • Transition Services Agreement - Provides for the provision of certain transitional services by NiSource to CPG, and vice versa. The services may include the provision of administrative and other services identified by the parties. The charge for these services is expected to be based on actual costs incurred by the party rendering the services without profit. Merger. On March 17, 2016 , CPG entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the "Merger Agreement"), among CPG, TransCanada PipeLines Limited, a Canadian corporation ("Parent"), TransCanada PipeLine USA Ltd., a Nevada corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of Parent ("US Parent"), Taurus Merger Sub Inc., a Delaware corporation and a wholly owned subsidiary of US Parent ("Merger Sub"), and, solely for purposes of Section 3.02, Section 5.02, Section 5.09 and Article VIII of the Merger Agreement, TransCanada Corporation, a Canadian corporation and the direct parent company of Parent ("TransCanada"). Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, effective July 1, 2016, Merger Sub was merged with and into CPG (the "Merger") with CPG surviving the Merger as an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada. On July 1, 2016 , TransCanada closed the acquisition of CPG valued at $13.0 billion , comprised of a purchase price of approximately $10.3 billion and CPG debt of approximately $2.7 billion . CPG became an indirect, wholly owned subsidiary of TransCanada as a result of the Merger. Subject to the terms and conditions of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Merger, each issued and outstanding share of CPG common stock, par value $0.01 per share, was canceled and converted into the right to receive $25.50 per share in cash, without interest. Upon completion of the transaction, TransCanada owns the general partner of CPPL, all of CPPL’s incentive distribution rights and all of CPPL's subordinated units, which represent a 46.5% limited partnership interest in CPPL. As a result, CPPL is now effectively managed by TransCanada. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 , CPG incurred Merger transaction costs of $12.3 million and $23.2 million , respectively, including legal, advisory and other related fees. These costs are included in "Operation and maintenance" on the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations (unaudited). As the Merger was not consummated until July 1, 2016, no adjustments have been made to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited). Subsequent to June 30, 2016, approximately $100 million of employee related costs were accrued upon consummation of the Merger. CPG has suspended its obligation to file periodic reports with the SEC on account of its common stock as a result of the Merger, but will continue to have reporting obligations with respect to its senior notes. Refer to Note 7, "Long-Term Debt" for additional information on CPG's senior notes. The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although CPG believes that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2015 (the "2015 Form 10-K"). These financial statements reflect all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly present CPG's results of operations and financial position. Amounts reported in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Operations (unaudited) are not necessarily indicative of amounts expected for the respective annual periods. CPG's accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) have been prepared in accordance with GAAP on the basis of NiSource's historical ownership of CPG's assets and its operations. These financial statements include the accounts of the following subsidiaries: Columbia Gas Transmission, Columbia Gulf, Columbia Midstream, CEVCO, CNS Microwave, Crossroads, CPGSC, CEG, Columbia Remainder Corporation, CPP GP LLC, CPPL, OpCo GP, Columbia OpCo and CPG. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. Also included in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) are equity method investments Hardy Storage, Millennium Pipeline and Pennant.

New Accounting Pronouncements and Changes in Accounting Principles [Abstract]
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	Recent Accounting Pronouncements In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 outlines a single, comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the new standard is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14 to extend the adoption date for ASU 2014-09 to periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods, and the new standard is to be applied retrospectively, with early adoption permitted on the original effective date of ASU 2014-09 on a limited basis. In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-08, which amends the principal-versus-agent implementation guidance and illustrations in ASU 2014-09. Among other things, ASU 2016-08 clarifies that an entity should evaluate whether it is the principal or the agent for each specified good or service promised in a contract with a customer. In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-10, which clarifies guidance related to identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation guidance contained in ASU 2014-09. In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-12, which contains narrow scope improvements for certain aspects of ASU 2014-09 including collectability, presentation of sales tax and other similar taxes collected from customers, noncash consideration, contract modifications and completed contracts at transition and transition technical correction. CPG is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09, and the related ASUs, will have on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) or Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited). In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting (Topic 718) . ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. CPG is required to adopt ASU 2016-09 for periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. CPG is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-09 will have on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) or Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited). In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) . ASU 2016-02 introduces a lessee model that brings most leases on the balance sheet. The new standard also aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in ASC 606, the FASB's new revenue recognition standard (e.g., those related to evaluating when profit can be recognized). Furthermore, ASU 2016-02 addresses other concerns related to the current leases model. For example, ASU 2016-02 eliminates the requirement in current U.S. GAAP for an entity to use bright-line tests in determining lease classification. The standard also requires lessors to increase the transparency of their exposure to changes in value of their residual assets and how they manage that exposure. CPG is required to adopt ASU 2016-02 for periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods, with early adoption permitted. CPG is currently evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) or Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited). In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. ASU 2015-03 changes the way entities present debt issuance costs in financial statements by presenting issuance costs on the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the related liability rather than as a deferred charge. Amortization of these costs will continue to be reported as interest expense. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-15 to clarify the SEC staff's position on these costs in relation to line-of-credit agreements stating that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and presenting debt issuance costs related to a line-of-credit arrangement as an asset and subsequently amortizing the deferred debt issuance costs ratably over the term of such arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit. CPG adopted ASU 2015-03 and ASU 2015-15 as of January 1, 2016, resulting in the reclassification of unamortized balance of debt issuance costs from "Deferred charges and other" to "Long-term debt." This change in accounting principle was applied retrospectively. As of December 31, 2015, the balance of unamortized debt issuance costs recorded in "Deferred charges and other" was $20.6 million . As a result of the retrospective adjustment, the December 31, 2015 balances of "Deferred charges and other" and "Long-term debt" were reduced by $20.6 million on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited) and Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited). In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis . ASU 2015-02 amends consolidation guidance by including changes to the variable and voting interest models used by entities to evaluate whether an entity should be consolidated. CPG retrospectively adopted ASU 2015-02 as of January 1, 2016. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited) or Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements (unaudited).

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]
Earnings Per Share	Earnings Per Share Basic EPS is based on net income attributable to CPG and is calculated based upon the daily weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the periods presented. Also, this calculation includes fully vested awards that have not yet been issued as common stock. Diluted EPS includes the above, plus unvested stock awards granted under CPG's compensation plans, but only to the extent these instruments dilute earnings per share. On July 1, 2015, 317.6 million shares of CPG common stock were distributed to NiSource stockholders in conjunction with the Separation. For comparative purposes, and to provide a more meaningful calculation for weighted average shares, CPG has assumed this amount to be outstanding as of the beginning of each period prior to the Separation presented in the calculation of weighted average shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted average common shares is as follows: Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (in millions) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Basic average common shares outstanding 400.6 317.6 400.4 317.6 Dilutive potential common shares: Shares restricted under stock plans 0.9 — 0.7 — Diluted average common shares 401.5 317.6 401.1 317.6 Dividends. CPG paid a dividend of $0.13375 per share to stockholders on May 20, 2016 . On May 10, 2016 , CPG declared a dividend of $0.13875 per share to stockholders of record at July 29, 2016 , payable August 19, 2016 . As a result of the Merger, this dividend was canceled.

Related Party Transactions [Abstract]
Transactions with Affiliates	Transactions with Affiliates Prior to the Separation, CPG engaged in transactions with subsidiaries of NiSource, which at that time were deemed to be affiliates of CPG. The Separation occurred on July 1, 2015 and for periods after this date CPG and the subsidiaries of NiSource are no longer affiliates. Transactions with affiliates prior to the Separation are summarized below: Statement of Operations Three Months Ended Six Months Ended (in millions) 2016 2015 2016 2015 Transportation revenues $ — $ 18.5 $ — $ 47.5 Storage revenues — 12.9 — 26.2 Other revenues — 0.1 — 0.2 Operation and maintenance expense — 24.9 — 52.9 Interest expense — 11.0 — 29.3 Interest income — 3.4 — 4.4 Transportation, Storage and Other Revenues . CPG provided natural gas transportation, storage and other services to subsidiaries of NiSource, former affiliates. Operation and Maintenance Expense . CPG received executive, financial, legal, information technology and other administrative and general services from a former affiliate, NiSource Corporate Services. Expenses incurred as a result of these services consisted of employee compensation and benefits, outside services and other expenses. CPG was charged directly or allocated using various allocation methodologies based on a combination of gross fixed assets, total operating expense, number of employees and other measures. Management believes the allocation methodologies are reasonable. However, these allocations and estimates may not represent the amounts that would have been incurred had the services been provided by an outside entity. Interest Expense and Income . Prior to the private placement of senior notes on May 22, 2015, CPG paid NiSource interest for intercompany long-term debt outstanding. For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , CPG was charged interest for long-term debt of $12.0 million , offset by associated AFUDC of $1.4 million . For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , CPG was charged interest for long-term debt of $31.0 million , offset by associated AFUDC of $2.4 million . Columbia OpCo and its subsidiaries entered into an intercompany money pool agreement with NiSource Finance, which became effective on the closing date of CPPL's IPO. Following the Separation, the agreement is with CPG. The money pool is available for Columbia OpCo and its subsidiaries' general purposes, including capital expenditures and working capital. This intercompany money pool agreement is discussed in connection with Short-term Borrowings below. Prior to CPPL's IPO, the subsidiaries of CPG participated in a similar money pool agreement with NiSource Finance. Prior to the Separation, NiSource Corporate Services administered the money pools. Prior to the Separation, the cash accounts maintained by the subsidiaries of Columbia OpCo and CPG were swept into a NiSource corporate account on a daily basis, creating an affiliated receivable or decreasing an affiliated payable, as appropriate, between NiSource and the subsidiary. The amount of interest expense and income for short-term borrowings was determined by the net position of each subsidiary in the money pool. Subsequent to the Separation, the intercompany money pool balances and related interest expense and income are eliminated as intercompany activity. The money pool weighted-average interest rate at June 30, 2015 was 1.21% . For the three months ended June 30, 2015 , the interest expense for short-term borrowings charged was $0.4 million . For the six months ended June 30, 2015 , the interest expense for short-term borrowings charged was $0.7 million . Dividends to NiSource . During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , CPG distributed $500.0 million of the proceeds from CPPL's IPO to NiSource as a reimbursement of preformation capital expenditures with respect to the assets contributed to Columbia OpCo and $1,450.0 million of proceeds related to the issuance of senior notes in May 2015. There were no restrictions on the payment by CPG of dividends to NiSource.

On December 5, 2014, CPG entered into a $1,500.0 million senior revolving credit facility, of which $250.0 million in letters of credit is available. The revolving credit facility became effective as of the Separation with a termination date of July 2, 2020. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , CPG had no outstanding borrowings and had $18.1 million in letters of credit under the revolving credit facility, respectively. On July 1, 2016, in connection with the Merger, all existing letters of credit were migrated to a TransCanada credit facility and the CPG revolving credit facility was terminated. CPG-TransCanada Pipeline USA Ltd. Revolving Credit Facility. Subsequent to the completion of the Merger, CPG entered into a $2,000.0 million revolving credit facility with US Parent. The revolving credit facility became effective as of July 1, 2016, with no termination date. The revolving credit facility will be available for general corporate purposes, including capital expenditures. Loans under the revolving credit facility will bear interest at CPG’s option at either (i) the greatest of (a) the federal funds effective rate plus 0.500 percent , (b) the reference prime rate as defined by Bloomberg Professional Service or (c) the Eurodollar rate which is based on the one month LIBOR, plus 1.000 percent , each of which is subject to a margin of 0.250 percent per annum, or (ii) the Eurodollar rate plus a margin of 1.250 percent per annum. CPPL Revolving Credit Facility. As of December 31, 2015 , CPPL had $15.0 million in outstanding borrowings, with a weighted average interest rate of 1.28% , and issued no letters of credit under the revolving credit facility. On June 29, 2016, in anticipation of the Merger, all outstanding borrowings, facility fees and interest were paid in full and the revolving credit facility was terminated. As a result, CPPL accelerated the amortization of $1.4 million of deferred costs associated with the revolving credit facility, which are included in interest expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 . CPG Commercial Paper Program. CPG's commercial paper program (the "Program") had a Program limit of up to $1,000.0 million . CEG, OpCo GP and Columbia OpCo each agreed, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably to guarantee payment in full of the principal of and interest (if any) on the promissory notes. As of December 31, 2015 , CPG had no promissory notes outstanding under the Program. On June 30, 2016, in anticipation of the Merger, the Program was terminated. CPG had no promissory notes outstanding under the Program at the time of termination. Given their maturity and turnover is less than 90 days, cash flows related to the borrowings and repayments of the CPG and CPPL revolving credit facilities and the Program are presented net in the Condensed Statements of Consolidated Cash Flows (unaudited).

Goodwill and Intangible Assets Disclosure [Abstract]
Goodwill	Goodwill CPG tests its goodwill for impairment annually as of May 1 unless indicators, events or circumstances would require an immediate review. Goodwill is tested for impairment using financial information at the reporting unit level, referred to as the Columbia Gas Transmission Operations reporting unit, which is consistent with the level of discrete financial information reviewed by management. The Columbia Gas Transmission Operations reporting unit includes the following entities: Columbia Gas Transmission (including its equity method investment in the Millennium Pipeline joint venture), Columbia Gulf and the equity method investment in Hardy Storage. All of CPG's goodwill relates to NiSource's acquisition of CEG in 2000, which was contributed to CPG prior to the Separation. CPG’s goodwill assets at June 30, 2016 were $1,975.5 million . CPG's predecessor completed a quantitative (“step 1”) fair value measurement of the reporting unit during the May 1, 2012 goodwill test. The test indicated that the fair value of the reporting unit substantially exceeded the carrying value, indicating that no impairment existed. GAAP allows entities testing goodwill for impairment the option of performing a qualitative (“step 0”) assessment before calculating the fair value of a reporting unit for the goodwill impairment test. If a step 0 assessment is performed, an entity is no longer required to calculate the fair value of a reporting unit unless the entity determines that, based on that assessment, it is more likely than not that its fair value is less than its carrying amount. CPG applied the qualitative step 0 analysis to its reporting unit for the annual impairment test performed as of May 1, 2016 . For the current year test, CPG assessed various assumptions, events and circumstances that would have affected the estimated fair value of the reporting unit as compared to its base line May 1, 2012 step 1 fair value measurement. The recent Merger Agreement and proposed acquisition price were incorporated into the current year testing. The results of this assessment indicated that it is not more likely than not that its reporting unit fair value is less than the reporting unit carrying value. CPG considered whether there were any events or changes in circumstances subsequent to the annual test that would reduce the fair value of the reporting unit below its carrying amount and necessitate another goodwill impairment test. In consideration of all relevant factors, there were no indicators that would require a subsequent goodwill impairment test during the second quarter of 2016 .

Regulatory Matters	Regulatory Matters Columbia Gas Transmission Customer Settlement. In November 2015, Columbia Gas Transmission commenced the fourth year of the Columbia Gas Transmission long-term system modernization program. Columbia Gas Transmission expects to place approximately $300 million in modernization investments into service during the year. Recovery of the revenue requirement on approximately $320 million of investments made in 2015 began on February 1, 2016. In December 2015, Columbia Gas Transmission filed an extension of this settlement and received the FERC's approval of the customer agreement in March 2016. This extension will allow Columbia Gas Transmission to invest an additional $1.1 billion over an additional three-year period through 2020. This agreement also expands the scope of facility investments covered by the program. Columbia Gulf. On January 21, 2016, the FERC issued an Order (the "January 21 Order") initiating an investigation pursuant to Section 5 of the NGA to determine whether Columbia Gulf's existing rates for jurisdictional services are unjust and unreasonable. Columbia Gulf filed a cost and revenue study with the FERC on April 5, 2016, as required by the January 21 Order. The January 21 Order directed that a hearing be conducted pursuant to an accelerated timeline and that an initial decision be issued by February 28, 2017. On June 13, 2016, the FERC trial staff, Columbia Gulf, and all of the active parties filed a Joint Motion to Suspend the Procedural Schedule and Waive Answer Period (the "Motion"). The Motion represents that the parties unanimously support the Motion and requested waiver of the answer period, which was granted. The parties reached an agreement in principle during a June 2, 2016 settlement conference that would fully resolve all matters set for hearing by the FERC. The Motion represents that the parties expect to file an offer of settlement memorializing the agreement in principle no later than July 29, 2016, and suspension of the procedural schedule will promote an efficient and speedy resolution of this matter by allowing the participants to focus their efforts on drafting the necessary settlement documents. Columbia Gulf filed the offer of settlement with the FERC in accordance with the agreement noted above. Cost Recovery Trackers and other similar mechanisms. A significant portion of the transmission and storage regulated companies' revenue is related to the recovery of their operating costs, the review and recovery of which occurs via standard regulatory proceedings with the FERC under Section 4 of the NGA. However, certain operating costs of the Columbia OpCo regulated transmission and storage companies are significant and recurring in nature, such as fuel for compression and lost and unaccounted for gas. The FERC allows for the recovery of such costs via cost tracking mechanisms. These tracking mechanisms allow the transmission and storage companies' rates to fluctuate in response to changes in certain operating costs or conditions as they occur to facilitate the timely recovery of its costs incurred. The tracking mechanisms involve a rate adjustment that is filed at a predetermined frequency, typically annually, with the FERC and is subject to regulatory review before new rates go into effect. Other such costs under regulatory tracking mechanisms include upstream pipeline transmission, electric compression, operational purchases and sales of natural gas, and the revenue requirement for capital investments made under Columbia Gas Transmission's long-term plan to modernize its interstate transmission system as discussed above.

Income Taxes	Income Taxes CPG's interim effective tax rates reflect the estimated annual effective tax rates for 2016 and 2015 , adjusted for tax expense associated with certain discrete items. The effective tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 31.3% and 32.2% , respectively. The effective tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 were 32.4% and 33.9% , respectively. The effective tax rates for 2016 and 2015 differ from the Federal tax rate of 35% primarily due to the effects of tax credits, state income taxes, utility rate-making, other permanent book-to-tax differences and income received following CPPL's IPO that is not subject to income tax at the partnership level. The effective tax rate is impacted by CPPL's IPO, which modified the ownership structure and now reflects CPPL earnings for which the noncontrolling public limited partners are directly responsible for the related income taxes. CPG consolidates the pre-tax income related to the noncontrolling public limited partners’ share of partnership earnings but excludes the related tax provision.

Pension and Other Postretirement Benefit Expense [Abstract]
Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits	Pension and Other Postretirement Benefits CPG provides defined contribution plans and noncontributory defined benefit retirement plans that cover its employees. Benefits under the defined benefit retirement plans reflect the employees' compensation, years of service and age at retirement. Additionally, CPG provides health care and life insurance benefits for certain retired employees. The majority of employees may become eligible for these benefits if they reach retirement age while working for CPG. The expected cost of such benefits is accrued during the employees' years of service. Current rates charged to customers of CPG include postretirement benefit costs. Cash contributions are remitted to trusts, including a grantor trust used to fund benefits of the CPG non-qualified defined benefit plan. Prior to the Separation, CPG was a participant in the consolidated NiSource defined benefit retirement plans and was allocated a ratable portion of NiSource's trusts for the plans in which its employees and retirees participated. As a result, CPG followed multiple employer accounting under the provisions of GAAP. CPG continues to follow multiple employer accounting following the Separation.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value	Fair Value CPG has certain financial instruments that are not measured at fair value on a recurring basis but nevertheless are recorded at amounts that approximate fair value due to their liquid or short-term nature, including cash and cash equivalents, customer deposits and short-term borrowings. CPG's long-term debt is recorded at historical amounts. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. Long-term debt. The fair value of these securities is estimated based on the quoted market prices for similar issues or on the rates offered for securities of the same remaining maturities. These fair value measurements are classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and for the year ended December 31, 2015 , there were no changes in the method or significant assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the financial instruments. The carrying amount and estimated fair values of financial instruments were as follows: (in millions) Carrying Amount as of June 30, 2016 (1) Estimated Fair Value as of June 30, 2016 Carrying Amount as of December 31, 2015 (1) Estimated Fair Value as of December 31, 2015 Long-term debt $ 2,750.0 $ 2,784.8 $ 2,750.0 $ 2,592.1 (1) The carrying amount of the Notes differs from the Long-term debt balance on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited) due to the related unamortized discount and unamortized debt issuance costs, both of which are being amortized over the weighted average life of the Notes.

Upon the Separation, outstanding CPG employee restricted stock units, performance units and non-employee director awards previously issued under the NiSource Plan and NiSource Director Plan were adjusted and converted into new CPG share-based awards under the Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc. 2015 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the "Omnibus Plan") using a formula designed to preserve the intrinsic value and fair value of the awards immediately prior to the Separation. The performance targets applicable to the performance units were frozen at the levels achieved as of the Separation and pro-rated to reflect the proportion of the service period completed. Under the Omnibus Plan, these awards represent restricted stock units with no performance contingencies. All adjusted awards retained the vesting schedule of the original awards. The Omnibus Plan term began on the effective date of the Separation. The Omnibus Plan provides for awards to employees and non-employee directors of incentive and nonqualified stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, performance shares, performance units, cash-based awards and other stock-based awards. The Omnibus Plan provides that the number of shares of common stock of CPG available for awards is 8,000,000 . At June 30, 2016 , there were 4,262,793 shares reserved for future awards under the Omnibus Plan. CPG recognized stock-based employee compensation expense of $3.8 million and $1.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , respectively, as well as related tax benefits of $1.3 million and $0.5 million , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , CPG recognized stock-based employee compensation expense of $7.6 million and $3.0 million , respectively, as well as related tax benefits of $2.7 million and $1.1 million , respectively. As of June 30, 2016 , the total remaining unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested awards amounted to $29.2 million . Restricted Stock Units and Restricted Stock . During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , CPG granted 12,144 restricted stock units and shares of restricted stock, subject to service conditions. The total grant date fair-value of the shares of restricted stock units and shares of restricted stock was $0.2 million , based on the average market price of CPG's common stock at the date of each grant less the present value of any dividends not received during the vesting period, which will be expensed, net of forfeitures, over the vesting period which is generally three years. As of June 30, 2016 , 1,356,774 nonvested (all of which are expected to vest) restricted stock units and shares of restricted stock were granted and outstanding. Performance Shares . During the six months ended June 30, 2016 , CPG granted 955,848 performance shares, subject to performance and service conditions. The grant date fair-value of the awards was $17.0 million , based on the average market price of CPG's common stock at the date of grant less the present value of dividends not received during the vesting period which will be expensed, net of forfeitures, over the three year requisite service period. The performance conditions are based on achievement of relative total shareholder return, Adjusted EBITDA and CPPL Distributable Cash Flow. Relative total shareholder return is a non-GAAP market measure that CPG defines as the annualized growth in the dividends and share price of a share of CPG's common stock (calculated using a 20 trading day average of CPG's closing price, over a period beginning January 1, 2016 and ending on December 31, 2018) compared to the total shareholder return performance of a predetermined peer group of companies. Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP performance measure that CPG defines as net income before interest expense, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization, plus distributions of earnings received from equity investees, less equity earnings in unconsolidated affiliates and other, net. In addition, to the extent transactions occur that are considered unusual, infrequent or not representative of underlying trends, we will remove the effect of these items from Adjusted EBITDA. Examples of these transactions include impairments, costs associated with the Separation and costs associated with the Merger. CPPL Distributable Cash Flow is a non-GAAP performance measure that CPG defines as Adjusted EBITDA less interest expense, maintenance capital expenditures, gain on sale of assets and distributable cash flow attributable to noncontrolling interest plus proceeds from the sale of assets, interest income, capital costs related to the Separation and any other known differences between cash and income. The service conditions lapse on February 28, 2019 when the shares vest provided the performance criteria are satisfied. As of June 30, 2016 , 1,117,352 nonvested performance shares were granted and outstanding. Non-employee Director Awards . Currently, restricted stock units are granted annually to non-employee directors, subject to a non-employee director's election to defer receipt of such restricted stock unit award. The non-employee director's restricted stock units vest on the first anniversary of the grant thereof subject to special pro-rata vesting rules in the event of Retirement or Disability (as defined in the award agreement), or death. The vested restricted stock units are payable as soon as practicable following vesting except as otherwise provided pursuant to the non-employee director's election to defer. As of June 30, 2016 , a total of 66,281 units are outstanding to non-employee directors under the Omnibus Plan. Fully vested restricted stock units that remained outstanding under the NiSource Plan and NiSource Director Plan as of the Separation date were converted into CPG awards. All such awards shall be distributed to the directors upon their separation from CPG's board of directors or such later date as elected. As of June 30, 2016 , 238,486 restricted stock units remain outstanding. 401(k) Match, Profit Sharing and Company Contribution. CPG has a voluntary 401(k) savings plan covering eligible employees that allows for periodic discretionary matches as a percentage of each participant's contributions. CPG also has a retirement savings plan that provides for discretionary profit sharing contributions to eligible employees based on earnings results; and eligible exempt employees hired after January 1, 2010, receive a non-elective company contribution of three percent of eligible pay. For the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , CPG recognized 401(k) match, profit sharing and non-elective contribution expense of $3.0 million and $2.7 million , respectively. For the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015 , CPG recognized 401(k) match, profit sharing and non-elective contribution expense of $6.2 million and $4.4 million , respectively. Merger. On July 1, 2016, at the effective time of the Merger, each outstanding restricted stock unit, performance share and phantom unit, whether or not vested, was deemed to be fully vested (in the case of performance shares, based on performance deemed satisfied at the greater of actual performance for the relevant period and the target level of 100%), canceled and converted into the right of the holder to receive $25.50 in cash, without interest, in respect of each share of CPG common stock underlying such award. CPG recognized stock-based employee compensation expense of approximately $56.7 million subsequent to the Merger.

Commitments and Contingencies Disclosure [Abstract]
Other Commitments and Contingencies	Other Commitments and Contingencies A. Guarantees and Indemnities. In the normal course of its business, CPG and certain subsidiaries enter into various agreements providing financial or performance assurance to third parties on behalf of certain subsidiaries. Such agreements include guarantees and stand-by letters of credit. These agreements are entered into primarily to support or enhance the creditworthiness otherwise attributed to a parent or subsidiary on a stand-alone basis, thereby facilitating the extension of sufficient credit to accomplish the parent or subsidiaries' intended commercial purposes. The total guarantees and indemnities in existence at June 30, 2016 and the years in which they expire were: (in millions) Total 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 After Letters of credit $ 18.1 $ 18.1 $ — $ — $ — $ — $ — Other guarantees 45.4 — 2.4 — — — 43.0 Total commercial commitments $ 63.5 $ 18.1 $ 2.4 $ — $ — $ — $ 43.0 Guarantees of Debt. Certain of CPG's subsidiaries, including OpCo GP, Columbia OpCo and CEG have guaranteed payment of $2,750.0 million in aggregated principal amount of CPG's senior notes. Each guarantor of CPG's obligations is required to comply with covenants under the debt indenture and in the event of default the guarantors would be obligated to pay the debt's principal and related interest. CPG does not anticipate its subsidiaries will have any difficulty maintaining compliance. Lines and Letters of Credit. CPG maintains a $1,500.0 million senior revolving credit facility, of which $250.0 million in letters of credit is available. As of June 30, 2016 , CPG had no borrowings outstanding and $18.1 million in letters of credit outstanding under its revolving credit facility. On July 1, 2016, in connection with the Merger, all existing letters of credit were migrated to a TransCanada credit facility and the CPG revolving credit facility was terminated. CPPL maintained a $500.0 million senior revolving credit facility, of which $50.0 million was available for issuance of letters of credit. On June 29, 2016, in anticipation of the Merger, all outstanding borrowings, facility fees and interest were paid in full and the revolving credit facility was terminated. CPG's commercial paper program (the "Program") had a Program limit of up to $1,000.0 million . CEG, OpCo GP and Columbia OpCo each agreed, jointly and severally, unconditionally and irrevocably to guarantee payment in full of the principal of and interest (if any) on the promissory notes. On June 30, 2016, in anticipation of the Merger, the Program was terminated. CPG had no promissory notes outstanding under the Program at the time of termination. Other Guarantees or Obligations. CPG has purchase and sale agreement guarantees totaling $45.4 million , which guarantee purchaser performance or seller performance under covenants, obligations, liabilities, representations or warranties under the agreements. No amounts related to the purchase and sale agreement guarantees are reflected in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited). Management believes that the likelihood CPG would be required to perform or otherwise incur any significant losses associated with any of the aforementioned guarantees is remote. CPG has on deposit a letter of credit with MUFG Union Bank, N.A., Collateral Agent, in a debt service reserve account in association with Millennium Pipeline's notes as required under the Deposit and Disbursement Agreement that governs the Millennium Pipeline notes. This account is to be drawn upon by the note holders in the event that Millennium Pipeline is delinquent on its principal and interest payments. The value of CPG's letter of credit represents 47.5% (CPG's ownership interest in Millennium Pipeline) of the debt service reserve account requirement, or $16.2 million . The total exposure for CPG is $16.2 million . CPG has an accrued liability of $1.5 million related to the inception date fair value of this guarantee as of June 30, 2016 . B. Other Legal Proceedings. In the normal course of its business, CPG has been named as a defendant in various legal proceedings. In the opinion of CPG, the ultimate disposition of these currently asserted claims will not have a material impact on CPG's condensed consolidated financial statements. Litigation Relating to the Merger. On March 30, 2016, two purported stockholders of CPG filed an action challenging the Merger on behalf of a putative class of CPG stockholders in the Court of Chancery of the State of Delaware, captioned Vann v. Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc. , et al . The action names as defendants CPG, the members of the Board, Parent, US Parent, Merger Sub and TransCanada. On April 7, 2016, a second, substantially identical action was filed in the same court on behalf of the same putative class, captioned Baldino v. Skaggs, Jr., et al. , and naming as defendants only the members of the Board. On May 25, 2016, the Delaware Court of Chancery entered an order that, among other things, consolidated the actions into a single action, captioned as In re Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc. Stockholder Litigation , and appointed the Vann plaintiffs as lead plaintiffs and the Vann plaintiffs’ counsel as lead counsel. The Vann plaintiffs’ amended complaint, filed May 12, 2016, alleges that members of the CPG Board breached their fiduciary duties by, among other things, agreeing to the Merger following an inadequate sale process and at an unfair price, and because the sale process purportedly was affected by conflicts of interest on the part of the Board, the management of CPG and/or CPG’s largest stockholder as a result of their substantial stockholdings in CPG, and on the part of one of CPG’s financial advisors as a result of its alleged holdings in TransCanada stock. The amended complaint also alleges that the preliminary proxy filed in respect of the Merger omits or misstates various facts concerning, among other things, the sale process and the financial analyses performed by CPG’s financial advisors. The amended complaint purports to seek injunctive and other equitable relief regarding the Merger. On July 5, 2016, the defendants filed a motion to dismiss the action and a motion to stay discovery pending resolution of the motion to dismiss. Both motions remain pending. On July 18, 2016, Vice Chancellor Laster entered the briefing schedule deferring briefing on the motion to dismiss until the motion to stay is resolved. On May 2, 2016, a purported stockholder of CPG filed another action on behalf of a putative class of CPG stockholders in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Texas, captioned as Ftikas v. Columbia Pipeline Group, Inc. , alleging that the preliminary proxy filed by CPG in respect of the Merger omits or misstates various facts concerning, among other things, the sale process and the financial analyses performed by CPG’s financial advisors filed in respect of the merger in violation of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Defendants have not been served with the complaint in this action. C. Environmental Matters. CPG's operations are subject to environmental statutes and regulations related to air quality, water quality, hazardous waste and solid waste. CPG believes that it is in substantial compliance with those environmental regulations currently applicable to its operations and believes that it has all necessary material permits to conduct its operations. It is CPG's continued intent to address environmental issues in cooperation with regulatory authorities in such a manner as to achieve mutually acceptable compliance plans. However, there can be no assurance that CPG will not incur fines and penalties. As of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , CPG had liabilities recorded of approximately $8.2 million and $8.3 million , respectively, to cover environmental remediation at various sites. The current portion of these liabilities is included in "Other accruals" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited). The noncurrent portion is included in "Other noncurrent liabilities" in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets (unaudited). CPG accrues for costs associated with environmental remediation obligations when the incurrence of such costs is probable and the amounts can be reasonably estimated. The original estimates for cleanup can differ materially from the amount ultimately expended. The actual future expenditures depend on many factors, including currently enacted laws and regulations, the nature and extent of contamination, the method of cleanup, and the availability of cost recovery from customers. As of the date of these financial statements, these expenditures are not estimable at some sites. CPG periodically adjusts its accrual as information is collected and estimates become more refined. Air The CAA and comparable state laws regulate emissions of air pollutants from various industrial sources, including compressor stations, and also impose various monitoring and reporting requirements. Such laws and regulations may require pre-approval for the construction or modification of certain projects or facilities expected to produce air emissions or result in an increase of existing air emissions; application for, and strict compliance with, air permits containing various emissions and operational limitations; or the utilization of specific emission control technologies to limit emissions. The actions listed below could require further reductions in emissions from various emission sources. CPG will continue to closely monitor developments in these matters. National Ambient Air Quality Standards . The federal CAA requires the EPA to set NAAQS for particulate matter and five other pollutants considered harmful to public health and the environment. Periodically, the EPA imposes new or modifies existing NAAQS. States that contain areas that do not meet the new or revised standards must take steps to maintain or achieve compliance with the standards. These steps could include additional pollution controls on boilers, engines, turbines, and other facilities owned by gas transmission operations. The following NAAQS were recently added or modified: Ozone : On October 1, 2015, the EPA issued a final rule lowering the NAAQS for ground-level ozone to 70 ppb under both the primary and secondary standards to provide requisite protection of public health and welfare, respectively. The EPA is required to include an adequate margin of safety in establishing the primary ozone standard for protection of public health, whereas the secondary ozone standard is intended to improve protection for trees, plants and ecosystems. The final rule becomes effective sixty days after the rule is published in the Federal Register. The EPA is required to make attainment and non-attainment designations for specific geographic locations under the revised standards by October 1, 2017 and, depending on the severity of the ozone present, non-attainment areas will have until between 2020 and 2037 to meet the health standard. With the EPA lowering the ground-level ozone standard, states may be required to implement more stringent regulations. Based on the current version of the rule, CPG does not expect a material impact on its operations. Nitrogen Dioxide (NO2) : The EPA revised the NO2 NAAQS by adding a one-hour standard while retaining the annual standard. The new standard could impact some CPG combustion sources. The EPA designated all areas of the country as unclassifiable/attainment in January 2012. After the establishment of a new monitoring network and possible modeling implementation, areas will potentially be re-designated sometime in 2016. States with areas that do not meet the standard will be required to develop rules to bring areas into compliance within five years of designation. Additionally, under certain permitting circumstances, emissions from some existing CPG combustion sources may need to be assessed and mitigated. CPG will continue to monitor this matter and cannot estimate the impact of these rules at this time. Climate Change. Future legislative and regulatory programs could significantly restrict emissions of greenhouse gases including methane. New Source Performance Standards : On May 12, 2016, the EPA finalized the rule to regulate fugitive methane emissions for compressor stations in the natural gas transmission and storage sector. The final rule was subsequently published in the Federal Register on June 3, 2016. Semiannual leak detection and repair requirements using optical gas imaging are required for all components at new or existing compressor stations. Existing compressor stations trigger leak detection and repair requirements if any unit at the facility is modified. The EPA established additional requirements for any new or modified centrifugal or reciprocating compressors. Replacement of wet seals with dry seals or demonstrating a 95% reduction of methane emissions from wet seals is required for centrifugal compressors and rod packing replacement for reciprocating compressors is required every 26,000 hours of operation or every three years. CPG is working with industry groups to clarify ambiguities within the rule and to develop an assessment on the impacts to CPG and cannot estimate the impact of these rules at this time. Pipeline Safety On March 17, 2016, the federal Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration ("PHMSA") announced a proposed rulemaking that would, if adopted, impose more stringent requirements for certain gas lines and gathering lines under varying circumstances. Among other things, the proposed rulemaking would extend certain of PHMSA's current regulatory safety programs for gas pipelines beyond "high consequence areas" to cover gas pipelines found in newly defined "moderate consequence areas" that contain as few as 5 dwellings within the potential impact area; require gas pipelines installed before 1970 that are currently exempted from certain pressure testing obligations to be tested to determine their maximum allowable operating pressures ("MAOP"); and require gathering lines in Class I areas, both onshore and offshore, to comply with standards regarding damage prevention, corrosion control (for metallic pipe), public education, MAOP limits, line markers and emergency planning if such gathering lines' nominal design is 8 inches or more. In order to provide clarity and greater certainty on what may constitute a "gathering line," PHMSA is proposing a new definition of that term under the rulemaking, which term would now encompass "a pipeline, or a connected series of pipelines, and equipment used to collect gas from the endpoint of a production facility/operation and transport it to the furthermost point downstream of the following endpoints" including the "inlet of 1 st gas processing plant;" the "outlet of" a gas treatment facility (not associated with a processing plant or compressor station); the "[o]utlet of the furthermost downstream compressor" leading to a pipeline, or the "point where separate production fields are commingled." Other new requirements proposed by PHMSA under the rulemaking would require pipeline operators to: report to PHMSA in the event of certain MAOP exceedances; strengthen PHMSA integrity management requirements; consider seismicity in evaluating threats to a pipeline; conduct hydrostatic testing for all pipeline segments manufactured using longitudinal seam welds; and use more detailed guidance from PHMSA in the selection of assessment methods to inspect pipelines. CPG will continue to monitor this matter and cannot estimate the impact of these rules at this time. On June 22, 2016, President Obama signed new pipeline safety legislation, the “Protecting our Infrastructure of Pipelines and Enhancing Safety Act of 2016" (the “PIPES Act”). Extending PHMSA’s statutory mandate through 2019, the PIPES Act establishes or continues the development of stringent requirements affecting pipeline safety including: (i) providing PHMSA with additional authority to address imminent hazards by imposing emergency restrictions, prohibitions and safety measures on owners and operators of gas or hazardous liquid pipeline facilities without prior notice or an opportunity for a hearing; (ii) having pipeline operators that experience a spill from a liquids pipeline provide safety data sheets for the spilled liquid to the on-scene coordinator predesignated by the EPA and state and local officials within six hours of a telephonic notice; (iii) obligating PHMSA to develop safety standards for natural gas storage facilities by June 22, 2018; (iv) obligating PHMSA to provide feedback to pipeline operators after an inspection, including a briefing within thirty days and a written report with written preliminary findings within ninety days to the extent practicable; (v) requiring annual internal inspection of certain underwater hazardous liquid pipeline facilities in high consequence areas located at depths greater than 150 feet under the surface of the water; and (vi) requiring PHMSA to complete certain of the outstanding mandates under existing legislation and to report to Congress on the status of overdue rulemakings. CPG will continue to monitor this matter and cannot estimate the impact of these rules at this time. Waste CPG has liabilities associated with the cleanup of various former operations. Four sites are associated with its former propane operations and ten sites associated with former petroleum operations. The total liability related to these sites was $6.4 million and $6.5 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 , respectively. The liability represents CPG's best estimate of the cost to remediate the facilities. CPG has liabilities associated with the remaining PCB remediation of its existing facilities. The total liability related to these sites was $1.8 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 . The liability represents CPG's best estimate of the cost to remediate the facilities.
