Reviewed CMS Energy consolidated cash-flow statement, page 96, in USD millions: ongoing capital expenditures $3,824m plus explicitly reported Covert plant acquisition $0m. Both use PaymentsToAcquirePropertyPlantAndEquipment with PropertyPlantAndEquipmentByTypeAxis members OngoingCapitalExpendituresMember and CovertPlantAcquisitionMember; Company Facts omits these dimensions. This is the consolidated issuer, not the separately presented Consumers Energy subsidiary statement. Excludes noncash finance-lease additions, unpaid capital expenditures, and the separately reported cost-to-retire-property/other investing line. The reported zero acquisition component is source evidence, not a default.
