And what exactly is your question?

Are you asking what report you want to use for that?
   That would be the "Income Statement" (aka, "Profit & Loss" aka 
"Revenue Statement:). You select just expense account to be included and 
if they disturb you, later discard any otherwise empty lines related to 
Income (the title of the report itself you can change as an option when 
you select the accounts to be included). That there is no subtotal at 
the parent level, just the total below (as in your example) is also 
option settings. Of course that Utlities is the parent and Electric, 
Gas, and Delivery under it as children is determined by how you define 
your account tree (aka "chart of accounts")
