Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract]
General	1. General The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, which represent the consolidated financial statements of ODEC and TEC, have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2024, our consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. The consolidated results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the entire year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. We have two classes of members. Our eleven Class A members are customer-owned electric distribution cooperatives engaged in the retail sale of power to member customers located in Virginia, Delaware, and Maryland. Our sole Class B member is TEC, a taxable corporation owned by our member distribution cooperatives. Our board of directors is composed of two representatives from each of the member distribution cooperatives and one representative from TEC. In accordance with Consolidation Accounting, TEC is considered a variable interest entity for which we are the primary beneficiary. We have eliminated all intercompany balances and transactions in consolidation. The assets and liabilities and non-controlling interest of TEC are recorded at carrying value and the consolidated assets were $ 6.7 million and $ 6.6 million as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. TEC's assets are utilized to settle TEC's liabilities. The income taxes reported on our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Patronage Capital relate to the tax provision for TEC. As TEC is wholly-owned by our Class A members, its equity is presented as a non-controlling interest in our consolidated financial statements. Our rates are set periodically by a formula that was accepted for filing by FERC and are not regulated by the public service commissions of the states in which our member distribution cooperatives operate. We comply with the Uniform System of Accounts as prescribed by FERC. In conformity with GAAP, the accounting policies and practices applied by us in the determination of rates are also employed for financial reporting purposes. The preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported therein. Actual results could differ from those estimates. We did not have any other comprehensive income for the periods presented.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]
Fair Value Measurements	2. Fair Value Measurements The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets (Level 1) and the lowest priority to unobservable data (Level 3). In some cases, the inputs used to measure fair value might fall in different levels of the fair value hierarchy. The lowest level input that is significant to a fair value measurement in its entirety determines the applicable level in the fair value hierarchy. Assessing the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, considering factors specific to the asset or liability. The following tables summarize our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023: Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets for Other Significant Identical Observable Unobservable June 30, Assets Inputs Inputs 2024 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) (in thousands) Nuclear decommissioning trust (1) $ 92,239 $ 92,239 $ — $ — Nuclear decommissioning trust - net asset value (1)(2) 187,677 — — — Unrestricted investments and other (3) 103 — 103 — Derivatives - gas and power (4) 7,304 — 805 6,499 Total financial assets $ 287,323 $ 92,239 $ 908 $ 6,499 Derivatives - gas and power (4) $ 51,890 $ 47,471 $ 4,419 $ — Total financial liabilities $ 51,890 $ 47,471 $ 4,419 $ — Quoted Prices in Active Significant Markets for Other Significant Identical Observable Unobservable December 31, Assets Inputs Inputs 2023 (Level 1) (Level 2) (Level 3) (in thousands) Nuclear decommissioning trust (1) $ 78,243 $ 78,243 $ — $ — Nuclear decommissioning trust - net asset value (1)(2) 182,364 — — — Unrestricted investments and other (3) 137 — 137 — Derivatives - gas and power (4) 441 — 441 — Total financial assets $ 261,185 $ 78,243 $ 578 $ — Derivatives - gas and power (4) $ 77,001 $ 65,285 $ 10,715 $ 1,001 Total financial liabilities $ 77,001 $ 65,285 $ 10,715 $ 1,001 (1) For additional information about our nuclear decommissioning trust, see Note 4—Investments below. (2) Nuclear decommissioning trust includes investments measured at net asset value per share (or its equivalent) as a practical expedient and these investments have not been categorized in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value amounts presented in this table are intended to permit reconciliation of the fair value hierarchy to the amounts presented in our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet. (3) Unrestricted investments and other includes investments that are related to equity securities. (4) Derivatives - gas and power represent natural gas futures contracts (Level 1 and Level 2) and financial transmission rights (Level 3). Level 1 are indexed against NYMEX. Level 2 are valued by ACES using observable market inputs for similar transactions. Level 3 are valued by ACES using unobservable market inputs, including situations where there is little market activity. Sensitivity in the market price of financial transmission rights could impact the fair value. For additional information about our derivative financial instruments, see Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]
Derivatives And Hedging	3. Derivatives and Hedging We are exposed to market price risk by purchasing power to supply the power requirements of our member distribution cooperatives that are not met by our owned generation. In addition, the purchase of fuel to operate our generating facilities also exposes us to market price risk. To manage this exposure, we utilize derivative instruments. See Note 1 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Changes in the fair value of our derivative instruments accounted for at fair value are recorded as a regulatory asset or regulatory liability. The change in these accounts is included in the operating activities section of our Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. Outstanding derivative instruments, excluding contracts accounted for as normal purchase/normal sale, were as follows: Quantity As of As of Commodity Unit of Measure 2024 2023 Natural gas MMBTU 122,260,000 111,070,000 Purchased power - financial transmission rights MWh 10,001,700 9,382,175 The fair value of our derivative instruments, excluding contracts accounted for as normal purchase/normal sale, was as follows: Fair Value As of As of Balance Sheet Location 2024 2023 (in thousands) Derivatives in an asset position: Natural gas futures contracts Other assets $ 805 $ 441 Financial transmission rights Other assets 6,499 — Total Derivatives in an asset position $ 7,304 $ 441 Derivatives in a liability position: Natural gas futures contracts Other liabilities $ 51,890 $ 76,000 Financial transmission rights Other liabilities — 1,001 Total Derivatives in a liability position $ 51,890 $ 77,001 The Effect of Derivative Instruments on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Revenues, Expenses, and Patronage Capital for the Three and Six Months Ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 Amount of Gain Location of Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from (Loss) Recognized Gain (Loss) Regulatory Asset/Liability in Regulatory Reclassified into Income for the Derivatives Asset/Liability for from Regulatory Three Months Six Months Accounted for Utilizing Derivatives as of Asset/Liability Ended Ended Regulatory Accounting June 30, into Income June 30, June 30, 2024 2023 2024 2023 2024 2023 (in thousands) (in thousands) Natural gas futures contracts $ ( 53,915 ) $ ( 40,799 ) Fuel $ ( 11,851 ) $ ( 8,550 ) $ ( 34,335 ) $ ( 42,137 ) Purchased power 6,499 ( 1,611 ) Purchased power ( 4,186 ) ( 7,784 ) ( 12,036 ) ( 17,475 ) Total $ ( 47,416 ) $ ( 42,410 ) $ ( 16,037 ) $ ( 16,334 ) $ ( 46,371 ) $ ( 59,612 ) Our hedging activities expose us to credit-related risks. We use hedging instruments, including forwards, futures, financial transmission rights, and options, to mitigate our power market price risks. Because we rely substantially on the use of hedging instruments, we are exposed to the risk that counterparties will default in performance of their obligations to us. Although we assess the creditworthiness of counterparties and other credit issues related to these hedging instruments, and we may require our counterparties to post collateral with us, defaults may still occur. Defaults may take the form of failure to physically deliver purchased energy or failure to pay. If a default occurs, we may be forced to enter into alternative contractual arrangements or purchase energy in the forward, short-term, or spot markets at then-current market prices that may exceed the prices previously agreed upon with the defaulting counterparty.

Other	5. Other Revolving Credit Facility We maintain a revolving credit facility to cover our short-term and medium-term funding needs that are not met by cash from operations or other available funds. Available funding under this facility totals $ 400 million and commitments under this syndicated credit agreement extend through December 7, 2028. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 , we had outstanding under this facility $ 100.0 million and $ 191.0 million in borrowings, respectively. Revenue Recognition Our operating revenues are derived from sales of power and renewable energy credits to our member distribution cooperatives and non-members. We supply power requirements (energy and demand) to our eleven member distribution cooperatives subject to substantially identical wholesale power contracts with each of them. We bill our member distribution cooperatives monthly and each member distribution cooperative is required to pay us monthly for power furnished under its wholesale power contract. We transfer control of the electricity over time and our member distribution cooperatives simultaneously receive and consume the benefits of the electricity. The amount we invoice our member distribution cooperatives on a monthly basis corresponds directly to the value to the member distribution cooperatives of our performance, which is determined by our formula rate included in the wholesale power contract. We sell excess energy and renewable energy credits to non-members at prevailing market prices as control is transferred. ODEC sells excess purchased and generated energy not needed to meet the actual needs of our member distribution cooperatives to PJM, TEC, or other counterparties. Our financial statements represent the consolidated financial statements of ODEC and TEC and through the consolidation process, all intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated and TEC’s sales are reflected as non-member revenues. The rates we charge our member distribution cooperatives are regulated by FERC and FERC has granted us authority to charge our member distribution cooperatives utilizing a formula rate and market-based rates. Our operating revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, were as follows: Three Months Six Months 2024 2023 2024 2023 (in thousands) Operating revenues: Member distribution cooperatives: Formula rate: Energy revenues $ 122,351 $ 125,321 $ 266,976 $ 282,160 Renewable energy credits 91 90 201 173 Demand revenues 124,297 108,946 239,991 212,644 Total Formula rate revenues 246,739 234,357 507,168 494,977 Market-based rates: Energy revenues 9,803 4,390 17,255 7,875 Demand revenues 2,689 559 3,974 1,100 Total Market-based rates revenues 12,492 4,949 21,229 8,975 Total Member distribution cooperatives revenues 259,231 239,306 528,397 503,952 Non-members: Energy revenues (1) 2,861 12,185 4,207 23,452 Renewable energy credits 519 2,649 1,491 2,649 Total Non-members revenues 3,380 14,834 5,698 26,101 Total Operating revenues $ 262,611 $ 254,140 $ 534,095 $ 530,053 (1) TEC did no t have sales to non-members after first quarter 2023. TEC’s sales to non-members were $ 8.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. Recent EPA Developments In May 2023, the EPA proposed performance standards for both new and existing generating units for reducing carbon dioxide emissions. The proposed standards included emissions guidelines that would set limits for new gas-fired combustion turbines, existing coal, oil, and gas-fired steam generating units, and certain existing gas-fired combustion turbines. On May 9, 2024, the final rule, which contains requirements to either retrofit existing coal units with carbon controls or retire the asset, was published in the Federal Register and became effective July 8, 2024. Also beginning on May 9, 2024, multiple lawsuits were filed against the EPA to seek judicial review of the final regulation and multiple petitions were filed seeking to stay implementation of the rule. On July 19, 2024, the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit denied requests to stay the rule. On July 23, 2024, multiple entities filed an emergency stay application with the United States Supreme Court and are currently awaiting a ruling. We are continuing to monitor this standard as it relates to our generating facilities, particularly Clover. We will be able to determine our compliance strategies after state implementation plans have been developed related to the rule. The expenditures to either implement additional emissions control measures or retire an asset could have a material impact on our results of operations, financial condition, or cash flows.
