10. Segment Information NSP-Minnesota has the following reportable segments: regulated electric, regulated natural gas and all other. · NSP-Minnesota's regulated electric utility segment generates, transmits and distributes electricity in Minnesota, North Dakota and South Dakota. In addition, this segment includes sales for resale and provides wholesale transmission service to various entities in the U.S. Regulated electric utility also includes NSP-Minnesota's commodity trading operations. · NSP-Minnesota's regulated natural gas utility segment transports, stores and distributes natural gas in portions of Minnesota and North Dakota. · Revenues from operating segments not included above are below the necessary quantitative thresholds and are therefore included in the all other category. Those primarily include appliance repair services, nonutility real estate activities and revenues associated with processing solid waste into refuse-derived fuel. Operating results from the regulated electric utility and regulated natural gas utility serve as the primary basis for the chief operating decision maker to evaluate the dual performance of NSP-Minnesota. The accounting policies of the segments are the same as those described in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements included in the NSP-Minnesota Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended Dec. 31, 2010. These segments are managed separately because the revenue streams are dependent upon regulated rate recovery, which is separately determined for each segment. Asset and capital expenditure information is not provided for NSP-Minnesota's reportable segments because as an integrated electric and natural gas utility, NSP-Minnesota operates significant assets that are not dedicated to a specific business segment, and reporting assets and capital expenditures by business segment would require arbitrary and potentially misleading allocations which may not necessarily reflect the assets that would be required for the operation of the business segments on a stand-alon
