Segment Reporting Information [Line Items] | |
General/Organization and Operations | General Eastern Energy Gas Holdings, LLC and its subsidiaries ("Eastern Energy Gas") is a holding company that conducts business activities consisting of Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC")-regulated interstate natural gas transportation pipeline and underground storage operations in the eastern region of the United States and operates Cove Point LNG, LP ("Cove Point"), a liquefied natural gas ("LNG") export, import and storage facility. Eastern Energy Gas owns 100% of the general partner interest and 25% of the limited partnership interest in Cove Point. In addition, Eastern Energy Gas owns a 50% noncontrolling interest in Iroquois Gas Transmission System, L.P. ("Iroquois"), a 416-mile FERC-regulated interstate natural gas transportation pipeline. In July 2020, Dominion Energy, Inc. ("DEI") entered into an agreement to sell substantially all of its gas transmission and storage operations, including Eastern Energy Gas and a 25% limited partnership interest in Cove Point, to Berkshire Hathaway Energy Company ("BHE"). Approval of the transaction under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act was not obtained within 75 days and DEI and BHE mutually agreed to a dual-phase closing consisting of two separate disposal groups identified as the acquisition of substantially all of the natural gas transmission and storage business of DEI and Dominion Energy Questar Corporation, exclusive of Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline, LLC and related entities (the "Questar Pipeline Group") (the "GT&S Transaction") and the proposed sale of the Questar Pipeline Group by DEI to BHE pursuant to a purchase and sale agreement entered into on October 5, 2020 ("Q-Pipe Transaction"). The Q-Pipe Transaction is currently anticipated to close in the first half of 2021, contingent on clearance or approval under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Act, and other customary closing and regulatory conditions. Prior to the completion of the GT&S Transaction, Eastern Energy Gas finalized a restructuring whereby Eastern Energy Gas distributed the Questar Pipeline Group and a 50% noncontrolling interest in Cove Point to DEI. This restructuring was accounted for by Eastern Energy Gas as a reorganization of entities under common control and the disposition was reflected as an equity transaction. The disposition was not reported as a discontinued operation as the disposal did not represent a strategic shift in the way management had intended to run the business. On November 1, 2020, BHE completed the GT&S Transaction. As a result of the GT&S Transaction, Eastern Energy Gas became an indirect wholly owned subsidiary of BHE. BHE is a holding company based in Des Moines, Iowa that owns subsidiaries principally engaged in the energy industry. BHE is a consolidated subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Inc.

Business Combinations [Abstract] | |
Business Combination Disclosure [Text Block] | Business Acquisition BHE GT&S Acquisition Transaction Description On November 1, 2020, BHE completed its acquisition of substantially all of the natural gas transmission and storage business of Dominion Energy, Inc. ("DEI") and Dominion Energy Questar Corporation ("Dominion Questar"), exclusive of Dominion Energy Questar Pipeline, LLC and related entities (the "Questar Pipeline Group") (the "GT&S Transaction"). Under the terms of the Purchase and Sale Agreement, dated July 3, 2020 (the "GT&S Purchase Agreement"), BHE paid approximately $2.5 billion in cash, after post-closing adjustments (the "GT&S Cash Consideration"), and assumed approximately $5.6 billion of existing indebtedness for borrowed money, including fair value adjustments, for 100% of the equity interests of Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc. ("EGTS") (formerly known as Dominion Energy Transmission, Inc.) and Carolina Gas Transmission, LLC (formerly known as Dominion Energy Carolina Gas Transmission, LLC); 50% of the equity interests of Iroquois Gas Transmission System L.P. ("Iroquois"); and a 25% economic interest in Cove Point LNG, LP ("Cove Point") (formerly known as Dominion Energy Cove Point LNG, LP), consisting of 100% of the general partnership interest and 25% of the total limited partnership interests. BHE became the operator of Cove Point after the GT&S Transaction. The GT&S Transaction received clearance under the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976, as amended ("HSR Approval") in October 2020, and approval by the Department of Energy with respect to a change in control of Cove Point and the Federal Communications Commission with respect to the transfer of certain licenses earlier in 2020. On October 5, 2020, DEI and Dominion Questar, as permitted under the terms of the GT&S Purchase Agreement, delivered notice to BHE of their election to terminate the GT&S Transaction with respect to the Questar Pipeline Group and, in connection with the execution of the Q-Pipe Purchase Agreement referenced below, to waive the related termination fee under the GT&S Purchase Agreement. Also on October 5, 2020, BHE entered into a second Purchase and Sale Agreement (the "Q-Pipe Purchase Agreement") with Dominion Questar providing for BHE's purchase of the Questar Pipeline Group from Dominion Questar (the "Q-Pipe Transaction") after receipt of HSR Approval, which is currently anticipated in the first half of 2021, for a cash purchase price of approximately $1.3 billion (the "Q-Pipe Cash Consideration"), subject to adjustment for cash and indebtedness as of the closing, and the assumption of approximately $430 million of existing indebtedness for borrowed money. DEI is also a party to the Q-Pipe Purchase Agreement, as guarantor for certain provisions regarding the Purchase Price Repayment Amount (as defined below) and other matters. Under the Q-Pipe Purchase Agreement, BHE delivered the Q-Pipe Cash Consideration of approximately $1.3 billion, which is included in other current assets on the Consolidated Balance Sheet as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, to Dominion Questar on November 2, 2020. If the Q-Pipe Transaction does not close, Dominion Questar has agreed to repay all or (depending on the repayment date) substantially all of the Q-Pipe Cash Consideration (the "Purchase Price Repayment Amount") to BHE on or prior to December 31, 2021. If HSR Approval has not been obtained by June 30, 2021, upon BHE's written request, Dominion Questar will seek alternative buyers for all or a material portion of the Questar Pipeline Group (an "Alternative Transaction"). The Purchase Price Repayment Amount may be paid in cash or in shares of common stock, no par value, of DEI, or a combination thereof, subject to certain limitations as to stock repayments set forth in the Q-Pipe Purchase Agreement; provided any payment on or after December 15, 2021 must be paid in cash only. The assets acquired in the GT&S Transaction include (i) approximately 5,400 miles of operated natural gas transmission, gathering and storage pipelines with approximately 12.5 billion cubic feet ("Bcf") per day of design capacity; (ii) 420 Bcf of operated natural gas storage design capacity, of which 306 Bcf is owned by BHE GT&S; and (iii) an LNG export, import and storage facility with LNG storage capacity of approximately 14.6 billions of cubic feet equivalent. On October 29, 2020, BHE issued $3.75 billion of its 4.00% Perpetual Preferred Stock to certain subsidiaries of Berkshire Hathaway Inc. in order to fund the GT&S Cash Consideration and the Q-Pipe Cash Consideration. Included in BHE's Consolidated Statement of Operations within the BHE Pipeline Group reportable segment for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021, is operating revenue and net income attributable to BHE shareholders of $559 million and $107 million, respectively, as a result of including BHE GT&S from November 1, 2020. Preliminary Allocation of Purchase Price BHE GT&S' assets acquired and liabilities assumed were measured at estimated fair value at closing. The majority of BHE GT&S' operations are subject to the rate-setting authority of the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission ("FERC") and are accounted for pursuant to GAAP, including the authoritative guidance for regulated operations. The rate-setting and cost-recovery provisions provide for revenues derived from costs, including a return on investment of assets and liabilities included in rate base. As such, the fair value of BHE GT&S' assets acquired and liabilities assumed subject to these rate-setting provisions are assumed to approximate their carrying values and, therefore, no fair value adjustments have been reflected related to these amounts. The fair value of BHE GT&S' assets acquired and liabilities assumed not subject to the rate-setting provisions discussed above was determined using an income and cost approach. The income approach is based on significant estimates and assumptions, including Level 3 inputs, which are judgmental in nature. The estimates and assumptions include the projected timing and amount of future cash flows, discount rates reflecting the risk inherent in the future cash flows and future market prices. Additionally, the fair value of long-term debt assumed was determined based on quoted market prices, which is considered a Level 2 fair value measurement. The fair value of certain contracts and property, plant and equipment related to non-regulated operations, certain regulatory assets and other items included in rate base, an equity method investment and deferred income tax amounts are provisional and are subject to revision for up to 12 months following the acquisition date until the related valuations are completed. These items may be adjusted through regulatory assets or liabilities, to the extent recoverable in rates, or goodwill provided additional information is obtained about the facts and circumstances that existed as of the acquisition date. Such information includes, but is not limited to, the receipt of further information regarding the fair value of the contracts and property, plant and equipment related to non-regulated operations, the equity method investment and any associated deferred income tax amounts as well as the evolution of the rate-making process for regulated operations. The following table summarizes the preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the acquisition date (in millions): Fair Value Current assets, including cash and cash equivalents of $104 $ 569 Property, plant and equipment 9,254 Goodwill 1,732 Regulatory assets 108 Deferred income taxes 275 Other long-term assets 1,424 Total assets 13,362 Current liabilities, including current portion of long-term debt of $1,200 1,567 Long-term debt, less current portion 4,415 Regulatory liabilities 661 Other long-term liabilities 289 Total liabilities 6,932 Noncontrolling interest 3,916 Net assets acquired $ 2,514 Goodwill The excess of the purchase price paid over the estimated fair values of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed totaled $1.7 billion and is reflected as goodwill in the BHE Pipeline Group reportable segment. The goodwill reflects the value paid primarily for the long-term opportunity to improve operating results through the efficient management of operating expenses and the deployment of capital. Goodwill is not amortized, but rather is reviewed annually for impairment or more frequently if indicators of impairment exist. For income tax purposes, the GT&S Acquisition is treated as a deemed asset acquisition resulting from tax elections being made, therefore all tax goodwill is deductible. Due to book and tax basis differences of certain items, book and tax goodwill will differ. The amount of tax goodwill is approximately $0.9 billion and will be amortized over 15 years. Pro Forma Financial Information The following unaudited pro forma financial information reflects the consolidated results of operations of BHE and the amortization of the purchase price adjustments assuming the acquisition had taken place on January 1, 2019, excluding non-recurring transaction costs incurred by BHE during 2020 (in millions): Three-Month Period Ended March 31, 2020 Operating revenue $ 5,056 Net income attributable to BHE shareholders $ 773 |

Once a project achieves commercial operation, the Company enters into a partnership agreement with the project sponsor that directs and allocates the operating profits and tax benefits from the project. Certain of the Company's tax equity investments are located in Texas and have physical settlement hedge obligations that were negatively impacted due to production shortfalls during periods of extreme market pricing volatility as a result of the February 2021 polar vortex weather event. The Company recognized pre-tax equity losses of $218 million, or after-tax losses of $23 million inclusive of production tax credits ("PTCs") of $148 million and other income tax benefits of $47 million, during the three-month period ended March 31, 2021, on its tax equity investments, largely due to the February 2021 polar vortex weather event. The losses for the impacted tax equity investments were based upon the terms of each partnership agreement, as amended, and are subject to change as project-by-project discussions are ongoing among the Company and the respective hedge provider and project sponsor. As of March 31, 2021, the carrying value of the impacted tax equity investments totaled $2.8 billion. Cash and Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash and Cash Equivalents Cash equivalents consist of funds invested in money market mutual funds, United States Treasury Bills and other investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased. Cash and cash equivalents exclude amounts where availability is restricted by legal requirements, loan agreements or other contractual provisions.

Regulatory Matters | Regulatory Matters Natural Gas Purchased for Resale In February 2021, severe cold weather over the central United States caused disruptions in natural gas supply from the southern part of the United States. These disruptions, combined with increased demand, resulted in historically high prices for natural gas purchased for resale to MidAmerican Energy's retail customers and caused an approximate $245 million increase in natural gas costs above those normally expected. These increased costs are reflected in cost of natural gas purchased for resale and other on the Statement of Operations and their recovery through the Purchased Gas Adjustment Clause is reflected in regulated natural gas and other revenue. To mitigate the impact to customers, the Iowa Utilities Board ordered the recovery of these higher costs to be applied to natural gas sales over the period April 2021 through April 2022. While sufficient liquidity is available to MidAmerican Energy, the increased costs and longer recovery period resulted in higher working capital requirements during three-month period ended March 31, 2021. |

Regulatory Matters | Regulatory Matters Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc. In July 2017, the FERC audit staff communicated to Eastern Gas Transmission and Storage, Inc. ("EGTS") that it had substantially completed an audit of EGTS' compliance with the accounting and reporting requirements of the FERC's Uniform System of Accounts and provided a description of matters and preliminary recommendations. In November 2017, the FERC audit staff issued its audit report. In December 2017, EGTS provided its response to the audit report. EGTS requested FERC review of the contested findings and submitted its plan for compliance with the uncontested portions of the report. EGTS reached resolution of certain matters with the FERC in the fourth quarter of 2018. EGTS recognized a charge of $129 million ($94 million after-tax) for the year ended December 31, 2018 for a disallowance of plant, originally established beginning in 2012, for the resolution of one matter with the FERC. In December 2020, the FERC issued a final ruling on the remaining matter, which resulted in a $43 million ($31 million after-tax) charge for disallowance of capitalized allowance for funds used during construction. As a condition of the December 2020 ruling, EGTS will file its proposed accounting entries and supporting documentation with the FERC by the second quarter of 2021; however, EGTS does not expect a material change from the charge recognized. Cove Point In January 2020, pursuant to the terms of a previous settlement, Cove Point filed a general rate case for its FERC-jurisdictional services, with proposed rates to be effective March 1, 2020. Cove Point proposed an annual cost-of-service of $182 million. In February 2020, the FERC approved suspending the changes in rates for five months following the proposed effective date, until August 1, 2020, subject to refund. In November 2020, Cove Point reached an agreement in principle with the active participants in the general rate case proceeding. Under the terms of the agreement in principle, Cove Point's rates effective August 1, 2020 result in an increase to annual revenues of $4 million and a decrease in annual depreciation expense of $1 million, compared to the rates in effect prior to August 1, 2020. The interim settlement rates were implemented November 1, 2020, and Cove Point's provision for rate refunds for August 2020 through October 2020 totaled $7 million. The agreement in principle was reflected in a stipulation and agreement filed with the FERC in January 2021. In March 2021, the FERC approved the stipulation and agreement and the rate refunds to customers were processed in late April 2021. |

Derivative [Line Items] | |
Risk Management and Hedging Activities | Risk Management and Hedging Activities PacifiCorp is exposed to the impact of market fluctuations in commodity prices and interest rates. PacifiCorp is principally exposed to electricity, natural gas, coal and fuel oil commodity price risk as it has an obligation to serve retail customer load in its service territories. PacifiCorp's load and generating facilities represent substantial underlying commodity positions. Exposures to commodity prices consist mainly of variations in the price of fuel required to generate electricity and wholesale electricity that is purchased and sold. Commodity prices are subject to wide price swings as supply and demand are impacted by, among many other unpredictable items, weather, market liquidity, generating facility availability, customer usage, storage, and transmission and transportation constraints. Interest rate risk exists on variable-rate debt and future debt issuances. PacifiCorp does not engage in a material amount of proprietary trading activities. PacifiCorp has established a risk management process that is designed to identify, manage and report each of the various types of risk involved in its business. To mitigate a portion of its commodity price risk, PacifiCorp uses commodity derivative contracts, which may include forwards, options, swaps and other agreements, to effectively secure future supply or sell future production generally at fixed prices. PacifiCorp manages its interest rate risk by limiting its exposure to variable interest rates primarily through the issuance of fixed-rate long-term debt and by monitoring market changes in interest rates. Additionally, PacifiCorp may from time to time enter into interest rate derivative contracts, such as interest rate swaps or locks, to mitigate PacifiCorp's exposure to interest rate risk. No interest rate derivatives were in place during the periods presented. PacifiCorp does not hedge all of its commodity price and interest rate risks, thereby exposing the unhedged portion to changes in market prices. There have been no significant changes in PacifiCorp's accounting policies related to derivatives. Refer to Note 7 for additional information on derivative contracts. The following table, which reflects master netting arrangements and excludes contracts that have been designated as normal under the normal purchases or normal sales exception afforded by GAAP, summarizes the fair value of PacifiCorp's derivative contracts, on a gross basis, and reconciles those amounts to the amounts presented on a net basis on the Consolidated Balance Sheets (in millions): Other Other Other Current Other Current Long-term Assets Assets Liabilities Liabilities Total As of March 31, 2021 Not designated as hedging contracts (1) : Commodity assets $ 45 $ 6 $ 2 $ — $ 53 Commodity liabilities (2) — (27) (24) (53) Total 43 6 (25) (24) — Total derivatives 43 6 (25) (24) — Cash collateral receivable — — 13 4 17 Total derivatives - net basis $ 43 $ 6 $ (12) $ (20) $ 17 As of December 31, 2020 Not designated as hedging contracts (1) : Commodity assets $ 29 $ 6 $ 1 $ — $ 36 Commodity liabilities (2) — (23) (28) (53) Total 27 6 (22) (28) (17) Total derivatives 27 6 (22) (28) (17) Cash collateral receivable — — 15 9 24 Total derivatives - net basis $ 27 $ 6 $ (7) $ (19) $ 7 (1) PacifiCorp's commodity derivatives are generally included in rates and as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, a regulatory asset of $— million and $17 million, respectively, was recorded related to the net derivative liability of $— million and $17 million, respectively. The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of PacifiCorp's net regulatory assets and summarizes the pre-tax gains and losses on commodity derivative contracts recognized in net regulatory assets, as well as amounts reclassified to earnings (in millions): Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Beginning balance $ 17 $ 62 Changes in fair value (17) 34 Net gains reclassified to operating revenue — 8 Net losses reclassified to cost of fuel and energy — (20) Ending balance $ — $ 84 Derivative Contract Volumes The following table summarizes the net notional amounts of outstanding commodity derivative contracts with fixed price terms that comprise the mark-to-market values as of (in millions): Unit of March 31, December 31, Measure 2021 2020 Electricity sales, net Megawatt hours — (1) Natural gas purchases Decatherms 114 100 Credit Risk PacifiCorp is exposed to counterparty credit risk associated with wholesale energy supply and marketing activities with other utilities, energy marketing companies, financial institutions and other market participants. Credit risk may be concentrated to the extent PacifiCorp's counterparties have similar economic, industry or other characteristics and due to direct or indirect relationships among the counterparties. Before entering into a transaction, PacifiCorp analyzes the financial condition of each significant wholesale counterparty, establishes limits on the amount of unsecured credit to be extended to each counterparty and evaluates the appropriateness of unsecured credit limits on an ongoing basis. To further mitigate wholesale counterparty credit risk, PacifiCorp enters into netting and collateral arrangements that may include margining and cross-product netting agreements and obtains third‑party guarantees, letters of credit and cash deposits. If required, PacifiCorp exercises rights under these arrangements, including calling on the counterparty's credit support arrangement. Collateral and Contingent Features In accordance with industry practice, certain wholesale agreements, including derivative contracts, contain credit support provisions that in part base certain collateral requirements on credit ratings for senior unsecured debt as reported by one or more of the recognized credit rating agencies. These agreements may either specifically provide bilateral rights to demand cash or other security if credit exposures on a net basis exceed specified rating-dependent threshold levels ("credit-risk-related contingent features") or provide the right for counterparties to demand "adequate assurance" if there is a material adverse change in PacifiCorp's creditworthiness. These rights can vary by contract and by counterparty. As of March 31, 2021, PacifiCorp's credit ratings for its senior secured debt and its issuer credit ratings for senior unsecured debt from the recognized credit rating agencies were investment grade. The aggregate fair value of PacifiCorp's derivative contracts in liability positions with specific credit-risk-related contingent features totaled $52 million and $51 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively, for which PacifiCorp had posted collateral of $17 million and $24 million, respectively, in the form of cash deposits. If all credit-risk-related contingent features for derivative contracts in liability positions had been triggered as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, PacifiCorp would have been required to post $30 million and $25 million, respectively, of additional collateral. PacifiCorp's collateral requirements could fluctuate considerably due to market price volatility, changes in credit ratings, changes in legislation or regulation or other factors. |

Fair Value, Assets and Liabilities Measured on Recurring and Nonrecurring Basis [Line Items] | |
Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The carrying value of the Company's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The Company has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Financial Statements using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows: • Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access at the measurement date. • Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs). • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect the Company's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. The Company develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data. The following table presents the Company's financial assets and liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions): Input Levels for Fair Value Measurements Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Other (1) Total As of March 31, 2021 Assets: Commodity derivatives $ 1 $ 72 $ 154 $ (18) $ 209 Foreign currency exchange rate derivatives — 12 — — 12 Interest rate derivatives — 33 47 — 80 Mortgage loans held for sale — 2,065 — — 2,065 Money market mutual funds (2) 807 — — — 807 Debt securities: United States government obligations 210 — — — 210 International government obligations — 5 — — 5 Corporate obligations — 71 — — 71 Municipal obligations — 2 — — 2 Agency, asset and mortgage-backed obligations — 5 — — 5 Equity securities: United States companies 395 — — — 395 International companies 4,780 — — — 4,780 Investment funds 256 — — — 256 $ 6,449 $ 2,265 $ 201 $ (18) $ 8,897 Liabilities: Commodity derivatives $ — $ (90) $ (30) $ 39 $ (81) Foreign currency exchange rate derivatives — (1) — — (1) Interest rate derivatives (3) (14) (6) — (23) $ (3) $ (105) $ (36) $ 39 $ (105) Input Levels for Fair Value Measurements Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Other (1) Total As of December 31, 2020 Assets: Commodity derivatives $ 1 $ 73 $ 135 $ (21) $ 188 Foreign currency exchange rate derivatives — 20 — — 20 Interest rate derivatives — — 62 — 62 Mortgage loans held for sale — 2,001 — — 2,001 Money market mutual funds (2) 873 — — — 873 Debt securities: United States government obligations 200 — — — 200 International government obligations — 5 — — 5 Corporate obligations — 73 — — 73 Municipal obligations — 2 — — 2 Agency, asset and mortgage-backed obligations — 6 — — 6 Equity securities: United States companies 381 — — — 381 International companies 5,906 — — — 5,906 Investment funds 201 — — — 201 $ 7,562 $ 2,180 $ 197 $ (21) $ 9,918 Liabilities: Commodity derivatives $ (1) $ (90) $ (19) $ 56 $ (54) Foreign currency exchange rate derivatives — (2) — — (2) Interest rate derivatives (5) (60) — — (65) $ (6) $ (152) $ (19) $ 56 $ (121) (1) Represents netting under master netting arrangements and a net cash collateral receivable of $21 million and $35 million as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. (2) Amounts are included in cash and cash equivalents; other current assets; and noncurrent investments and restricted cash and investments on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of these money market mutual funds approximates cost. Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which the Company transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, the Company uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent the Company's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. The Company bases its forward price curves upon market price quotations, when available, or internally developed and commercial models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations are obtained from independent brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by the Company. Market price quotations are generally readily obtainable for the applicable term of the Company's outstanding derivative contracts; therefore, the Company's forward price curves reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for certain electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to the length of the contract. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, as well as for those contracts that are not actively traded, the Company uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The estimated fair value of these derivative contracts is a function of underlying forward commodity prices, interest rates, currency rates, related volatility, counterparty creditworthiness and duration of contracts. The Company's mortgage loans held for sale are valued based on independent quoted market prices, where available, or the prices of other mortgage whole loans with similar characteristics. As necessary, these prices are adjusted for typical securitization activities, including servicing value, portfolio composition, market conditions and liquidity. The Company's investments in money market mutual funds and debt and equity securities are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value. In the absence of a quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security, the fair value is determined using pricing models or net asset values based on observable market inputs and quoted market prices of securities with similar characteristics. The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of the Company's assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant Level 3 inputs (in millions): Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, Interest Commodity Rate Derivatives Derivatives 2021: Beginning balance $ 116 $ 62 Changes included in earnings (1) (6) (21) Changes in fair value recognized in OCI (1) — Changes in fair value recognized in net regulatory assets 16 — Settlements (1) — Ending balance $ 124 $ 41 2020: Beginning balance $ 97 $ 14 Changes included in earnings (1) (3) 31 Changes in fair value recognized in net regulatory assets (40) — Purchases 2 — Settlements (4) — Ending balance $ 52 $ 45 (1) Changes included in earnings for interest rate derivatives are reported net of amounts related to the satisfaction of the associated loan commitment. The Company's long-term debt is carried at cost, including fair value adjustments and unamortized premiums, discounts and debt issuance costs as applicable, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the Company's long-term debt is a Level 2 fair value measurement and has been estimated based upon quoted market prices, where available, or at the present value of future cash flows discounted at rates consistent with comparable maturities with similar credit risks. The carrying value of the Company's variable-rate long-term debt approximates fair value because of the frequent repricing of these instruments at market rates.

Market price quotations are obtained from independent energy brokers, exchanges, direct communication with market participants and actual transactions executed by PacifiCorp. Market price quotations for certain major electricity and natural gas trading hubs are generally readily obtainable for the first three years; therefore, PacifiCorp's forward price curves for those locations and periods reflect observable market quotes. Market price quotations for other electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable for the first three years.

Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements The carrying value of Nevada Power's cash, certain cash equivalents, receivables, payables, accrued liabilities and short-term borrowings approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. Nevada Power has various financial assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on the Consolidated Balance Sheets using inputs from the three levels of the fair value hierarchy. A financial asset or liability classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement. The three levels are as follows: • Level 1 — Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that Nevada Power has the ability to access at the measurement date. • Level 2 — Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs). • Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflect Nevada Power's judgments about the assumptions market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability since limited market data exists. Nevada Power develops these inputs based on the best information available, including its own data. The following table presents Nevada Power's assets and liabilities recognized on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in millions): Input Levels for Fair Value Measurements Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total As of March 31, 2021 Assets: Commodity derivatives $ — $ — $ 48 $ 48 Money market mutual funds (1) 86 — — 86 Investment funds 2 — — 2 $ 88 $ — $ 48 $ 136 Liabilities - commodity derivatives $ — $ — $ (21) $ (21) As of December 31, 2020 Assets: Commodity derivatives $ — $ — $ 26 $ 26 Money market mutual funds (1) 21 — — 21 Investment funds 2 — — 2 $ 23 $ — $ 26 $ 49 Liabilities - commodity derivatives $ — $ — $ (11) $ (11) (1) Amounts are included in cash and cash equivalents on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of these money market mutual funds approximates cost. Derivative contracts are recorded on the Consolidated Balance Sheets as either assets or liabilities and are stated at estimated fair value unless they are designated as normal purchases or normal sales and qualify for the exception afforded by GAAP. When available, the fair value of derivative contracts is estimated using unadjusted quoted prices for identical contracts in the market in which Nevada Power transacts. When quoted prices for identical contracts are not available, Nevada Power uses forward price curves. Forward price curves represent Nevada Power's estimates of the prices at which a buyer or seller could contract today for delivery or settlement at future dates. Nevada Power bases its forward price curves upon internally developed models, with internal and external fundamental data inputs. Market price quotations for certain electricity and natural gas trading hubs are not as readily obtainable due to markets that are not active. Given that limited market data exists for these contracts, Nevada Power uses forward price curves derived from internal models based on perceived pricing relationships to major trading hubs that are based on unobservable inputs. The model incorporates a mid-market pricing convention (the mid‑point price between bid and ask prices) as a practical expedient for valuing its assets and liabilities measured and reported at fair value. The determination of the fair value for derivative contracts not only includes counterparty risk, but also the impact of Nevada Power's nonperformance risk on its liabilities, which as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, had an immaterial impact to the fair value of its derivative contracts. As such, Nevada Power considers its derivative contracts to be valued using Level 3 inputs. Nevada Power's investments in money market mutual funds and investment funds are stated at fair value. When available, a readily observable quoted market price or net asset value of an identical security in an active market is used to record the fair value. The following table reconciles the beginning and ending balances of Nevada Power's commodity derivative assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant Level 3 inputs (in millions): Three-Month Periods Ended March 31, 2021 2020 Beginning balance $ 15 $ (8) Changes in fair value recognized in regulatory assets 11 (31) Settlements 1 1 Ending balance $ 27 $ (38) Nevada Power's long-term debt is carried at cost on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Commitments and Contingencies | Commitments and Contingencies Legal Matters The Company is party to a variety of legal actions arising out of the normal course of business. Plaintiffs occasionally seek punitive or exemplary damages. The Company does not believe that such normal and routine litigation will have a material impact on its consolidated financial results. The Company is also involved in other kinds of legal actions, some of which assert or may assert claims or seek to impose fines, penalties and other costs in substantial amounts and are described below. California and Oregon 2020 Wildfires In September 2020, a severe weather event resulting in high winds, low humidity and warm temperatures contributed to several major wildfires, private and public property damage, personal injuries and loss of life and widespread power outages in Oregon and Northern California. The wildfires spread across certain parts of PacifiCorp's service territory and surrounding areas across multiple counties in Oregon and California, including Siskiyou County, California; Jackson County, Oregon; Douglas County, Oregon; Marion County, Oregon; Lincoln County, Oregon; and Klamath County, Oregon burning over 500,000 acres in aggregate. Third party reports for these wildfires indicate over 2,000 structures, including residences, destroyed; several structures damaged; multiple individuals injured; and several fatalities. Fire suppression costs estimated by various agencies total approximately $150 million. Investigations into the cause and origin of each wildfire are complex and ongoing and being conducted by various entities, including the United States Forest Service, the California Public Utilities Commission, the Oregon Department of Forestry, the Oregon Department of Justice, PacifiCorp and various experts engaged by PacifiCorp. Several lawsuits have been filed in Oregon and California, including a putative class action complaint in Oregon, on behalf of citizens and businesses who suffered damages from fires allegedly caused by PacifiCorp. The final determinations of liability, however, will only be made following comprehensive investigations and litigation processes. In California, under inverse condemnation, courts have held that investor-owned utilities can be liable for real and personal property damages without the utility being found negligent and regardless of fault. California law also permits inverse condemnation plaintiffs to recover reasonable attorney fees and costs. In both Oregon and California, PacifiCorp has equipment in areas accessed through special use permits, easements or similar agreements that may contain provisions requiring it to pay for damages caused by its equipment regardless of fault. Even if inverse condemnation or other provisions do not apply, PacifiCorp could nevertheless be found liable for all damages proximately caused by negligence, including property and natural resource damage; fire suppression costs; personal injury and loss of life damages; and interest. As of March 31, 2021, PacifiCorp has accrued $136 million as its best estimate of the potential losses net of expected insurance recoveries associated with the 2020 Wildfires that are considered probable of being incurred. These accruals include estimated losses for fire suppression costs, property damage, personal injury damages and loss of life damages. It is reasonably possible that PacifiCorp will incur additional losses beyond the amounts accrued; however, PacifiCorp is currently unable to estimate the range of possible additional losses that could be incurred due to the number of properties and parties involved and the lack of specific claims for all potential claimants. To the extent losses beyond the amounts accrued are incurred, additional insurance coverage is expected to be available to cover at least a portion of the losses. Environmental Laws and Regulations The Company is subject to federal, state, local and foreign laws and regulations regarding climate change, renewable portfolio standards, air and water quality, emissions performance standards, coal combustion byproduct disposal, hazardous and solid waste disposal, protected species and other environmental matters that have the potential to impact the Company's current and future operations. The Company believes it is in material compliance with all applicable laws and regulations. Hydroelectric Relicensing PacifiCorp is a party to the 2016 amended Klamath Hydroelectric Settlement Agreement ("KHSA"), which is intended to resolve disputes surrounding PacifiCorp's efforts to relicense the Klamath Hydroelectric Project. The KHSA establishes a process for PacifiCorp, the states of Oregon and California ("States") and other stakeholders to assess whether dam removal can occur consistent with the settlement's terms. For PacifiCorp, the key elements of the settlement include: (1) a contribution from PacifiCorp's Oregon and California customers capped at $200 million plus $250 million in California bond funds; (2) complete indemnification from harms associated with dam removal; (3) transfer of the FERC license to a third-party dam removal entity, the Klamath River Renewal Corporation ("KRRC"), who would conduct dam removal; and (4) ability for PacifiCorp to operate the facilities for the benefit of customers until dam removal commences. In September 2016, the KRRC and PacifiCorp filed a joint application with the FERC to transfer the license for the four mainstem Klamath dams from PacifiCorp to the KRRC. The FERC approved partial transfer of the Klamath license in a July 2020 order, subject to the condition that PacifiCorp remains co-licensee. Under the amended KHSA, PacifiCorp did not agree to remain co-licensee during the surrender and removal process given concerns about liability protections for PacifiCorp and its customers. In November 2020, PacifiCorp entered a memorandum of agreement (the "MOA") with the KRRC, the Karuk Tribe, the Yurok Tribe and the States to continue implementation of the KHSA. The agreement required the States, PacifiCorp and KRRC to file a new license transfer application by January 16, 2021 to remove PacifiCorp from the license for the Klamath Hydroelectric Project and add the States and KRRC as co-licensees for the purposes of surrender. On January 13, 2021, the new license transfer application was filed with the FERC, notifying it that PacifiCorp and the KRRC are not accepting co-licensee status under FERC's July 2020 order, and instead are seeking the license transfer outcome described in the new license transfer application. In addition, the MOA provides for additional contingency funding of $45 million, equally split between PacifiCorp and the States, and for PacifiCorp and the States to equally share in any additional cost overruns in the unlikely event that dam removal costs exceed the $450 million in funding to ensure dam removal is complete. The MOA also requires PacifiCorp to cover the costs associated with certain pre-existing environmental conditions. Guarantees |

Segment Reporting Disclosure [Text Block] | Segment Information MidAmerican Energy has identified two reportable segments: regulated electric and regulated natural gas. The regulated electric segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of electricity to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and from wholesale sales. The regulated natural gas segment derives most of its revenue from regulated retail sales of natural gas to residential, commercial, and industrial customers and also obtains revenue by transporting natural gas owned by others through its distribution system. Pricing for regulated electric and regulated natural gas sales are established separately by regulatory agencies; therefore, management also reviews each segment separately to make decisions regarding allocation of resources and in evaluating performance. Common operating costs, interest income, interest expense and income tax expense are allocated to each segment based on certain factors, which primarily relate to the nature of the cost.
