Power production now excludes Utah plant

  • Power production reached 156 GWh this quarter, up 12% from Q1'16 excluding the sold Utah plant
  • Quarter on quarter: Reduction in production reflects the sale of the Utah Red Hills plant and a seasonally lower production in South Africa

Eliminated D&C margins affect book equity

  • Margins created through Development & Construction of power plants are eliminated in consolidated financial statement
  • Elimination booked against PP&E in consolidated financial statements

Leads to:

  • A negative effect on consolidated equity short term as corresponding non-recourse finance is included at full value
  • Improves consolidated net profit over time
