To the Shareholders of EDP Renováveis, S.A.
We have audited the annual accounts of EDP Renováveis, S.A. (the "Company") which comprise the balance sheet at 31 December 2012, the income statement, the statement of changes in equity, the statement of cash flows for the year then ended and the notes thereto. In accordance with legislation governing financial information applicable to the entity specified in note 2 to the accompanying annual accounts and, in particular, with the accounting principles and criteria set forth therein, preparation of the annual accounts is the responsibility of the Company's directors. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the annual accounts taken as a whole, based on our audit, which was conducted in accordance with prevailing legislation regulating the audit of accounts in Spain, which requires examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the annual accounts and evaluating whether their overall presentation, the accounting principles and criteria used and the accounting estimates made comply with the applicable legislation governing financial information.
In our opinion, the accompanying annual accounts for 2012 present fairly, in all material respects, the equity and financial position of the Company at 31 December 2012, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with applicable legislation governing financial information and, in particular, with the accounting principles and criteria set forth therein
The accompanying directors' report for 2012 contains such explanations as the directors the Company consider relevant to the situation of the Company, the evolution of its business and other matters, but is not an integral part of the annual accounts. We have verified that the accounting information contained therein is consistent with that disclosed in the annual accounts for 2012. Our work as auditors is limited to the verification of the directors' report within the scope described in this paragraph and does not include a review of information other than that obtained from the accounting records of the Company.

Relevant accounting estimates and judgements and other estimates and assumptions have to be made when applying the Company's accounting principles to prepare the annual accounts.

This category also includes the derivative financial instruments described in note 11.
Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue are recognised as an expense when incurred.
After initial recognition, they are recognised at fair value through profit or loss. Fair value is reduced by transaction costs incurred on sale or disposal. Accrual interest and dividends are recognised separately.
Loans and receivables comprise trade and non-trade receivables with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market other than those classified in other financial asset categories. These assets are initially recognised at fair value, including transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
Investments in Group companies are initially recognised at cost, which is equivalent to the fair value of the consideration given, excluding transaction costs, and are subsequently measured at cost net of any accumulated impairment. The cost of investments in Group companies acquired prior to 1 January 2010 includes transaction costs.
Interest is recognised using the effective interest method.
Based on consultation number 2 with the Spanish Accounting and Auditing Institute, published in its Official Gazette number 78, for entities whose ordinary activity is the holding of shares in Group companies and the financing of investees, the dividends and other income - coupons, interest - earned on financing extended to investees, as well as profits obtained from the disposal of investments, except those deriving from the disposal of subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates, constitute revenue in the income statement.
Financial assets are derecognised when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire or have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership.
Impairment losses are recognised and reversed in the income statement.
Impairment of an investment is limited to the amount of the investment, except when contractual, legal or constructive obligations have been assumed by the Company or payments have been made on behalf of the companies.
Financial liabilities, including trade and other payables, that are not classified as held for trading or as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value less any transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the financial liability. After initial recognition, liabilities classified under this category are measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method.
The Company derecognises all or part of a financial liability when it either discharges the liability by paying the creditor, or is legally released from primary responsibility for the liability either by process of law or by the creditor.
The fair value is the amount for which an asset can be exchanged, or a liability settled, between knowledgeable, willing parties in an arm's length transaction. If available, quoted prices in an active market are used to determine fair value. Otherwise, the Company calculates fair value using recent transaction prices or, if insufficient information is available, generally accepted valuation techniques such as discounting expected cash flows.
10
Taxable temporary differences are recognised in all cases except where they arise from the initial recognition of goodwill or an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income.
The Company classifies assets and liabilities in the balance sheet as current and noncurrent. Current assets and liabilities are determined as follows:
· Assets are classified as current when they are expected to be realised or are intended for sale or consumption in the Company's normal operating cycle, they are held primarily for the purpose of trading, they are expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting date or are cash or a cash equivalent, unless the assets may not be exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Transactions between Group companies are recognised at the fair value of the consideration given or received. The difference between this value and the amount agreed is recognised in line with the underlying economic substance of the transaction.

² 100% owned by EDPR S.A., operationally integrated under EDPR NA platform.

EDP Renováveis informed that its principal shareholder EDP - Energias de Portugal, S.A. will hold a General Shareholders' Meeting in February 20th in which, among other, will decide upon the election of new members of the Executive Board of Directors. As a consequence, shall the referred proposal for the election of new Executive Board Members be approved, EDP hereby informs, from now, that, as major shareholder of EDP Renováveis, it intends to propose the necessary steps for Mr. João Manso Neto to assume the position of EDP Renováveis' Chief Executive Officer, in substitution Mrs. Ana Maria Fernandes.
In 2011 EDPR wind energy capacity grew by 806 MW (+12% YoY), adding 720 MW to its EBITDA consolidated capacity and 87 MW (attributable to EDPR) through the Eólicas de Portugal consortium. By the end of December 2011, EDPR managed a portfolio of 7.2 GW in 8 different countries, plus the 326 MW through its interest in the Eólicas de Portugal consortium.
In 2011, EDPR produced 16.8 TWh of CO2-free energy, a 17% increase vis-à-vis 2010, outpacing the capacity growth. The US represented the main source of growth (+21% YoY), while Europe's growth (+10% YoY) continues to be supported by Central and Eastern European markets (Rest of Europe, +65% YoY).
EDPR achieved a solid top-sector 29% load factor, with the capacity factor reaching 25% in Europe and 33% in the US, underlying the high quality of EDPR's assets. The annual stability on the total average load factor is result of a balanced portfolio, a selective geographical diversification and a strong knowledge in maximizing wind farm output.

Revenues reached €1,069 million (+13% YoY) and EBITDA €801 million (+12% YoY), with an EBITDA margin of 75%. Net income increased 10% YoY to €89 million.
At the Board of Directors' Meeting of EDP Renováveis held on the February 28th, 2012, the board members have approved the election of Mr. João Manso Neto to the position of CEO and Vice-President of EDP Renováveis Board of Directors following a proposal from the Appointment and Remuneration Committee. The election pursues Mrs. Ana Maria Fernandes' resignation to such positions given her new responsibilities within EDP.
EDP Renováveis executed a project finance structure agreement with a consortium of five European banks for 125 MW in Spain.
The long-term contracted debt facility (17 years) amounts to €177 million and the transaction financial close is expected to occur until the end of the first quarter of 2012.
The 125 MW comprises three wind farms in the Spanish region of Cataluña with 25 MW installed in 2009 and 50 MW installed in the 2011, being the remaining 50 MW currently under construction and to be installed by the end of 2012. All the capacity has a long term remuneration scheme in place according with the Royal Decree 661/2007.

As of Mar-2012, EDPR managed a global portfolio of 7.5 GW of onshore wind energy spread over 8 different countries, of which 7.2 GW fully consolidated with an additional 326 MW through its interest in the Edlicas de Portugal consortium.
In the 1Q12, EDPR produced 5.2 TWh of clean energy, an 18% increase vs. 1Q11. The annual growth in the electricity output benefited from the capacity additions in the last 12 months and the outstanding wind resource in the US. EDPR operations in the US were the main source for the electricity production growth, having increased by +26% YoY to 3.1 TWh. The European production growth (+6% YoY to 2.1 TWh) was strongly supported by Central and Eastern European markets (Rest of Europe, +50% YoY).
EDPR achieved a solid top-sector 34% load factor, reaching 27% in Europe and 41% in the US, underlining the high quality of EDPR's assets. The stability of the total average load factor is a result of a balanced portfolio, a selective geographical diversification and a strong knowledge in maximizing wind farm output.

Revenues in the 1H12 increased 23% YoY, outpacing volumes growth given the sustained increase of the average selling price. EBITDA growth was in line with the Top-Line performance (+23% YoY) after a 16% Opex increase (excl. other operating income) and an €8m decline in other operating income, which resulted in a 75% EBITDA margin
Net Profit in the 1H12 increased 12% YoY to €100m or 33% on a like-for-like basis (Adj. Net Profit of €103m in the 1H12 vs. €78m in the 1H11) when adjusted by the change in the operating assets' useful life to 25 years, introduction of deferred tax accounting in the US, forex differences, capital gains, excess of provisions and write-offs/impairments.
EDP executed a project finance structure agreement with two European banks for 57 MW in Belgium. The long-term contracted debt facilities amount to €46 million and the transaction financial close is expected to occur until the end of the third quarter of 2012.
The 57 MW comprises three wind farms in operation in the region of Walloon, with 47 MW installed in 2008 and 10 MW installed in 2009, and all the capacity has a long-term PPA in place.
The Portuguese wind sector and the Portuguese Government reached an agreement in principles that maintains the legal stability of the current contracts (Decree-Law 33-A/2005) and protects the value of the investments made by the wind energy developers in the Portuguese economy. The wind farm operators can voluntarily invest to obtain further remuneration visibility, through the acquisition of a new tariff scheme to be applied upon the initial 15 years established by law. The proceeds will be used to reduce the overall costs of the Portuguese electricity system.
The agreement is only applicable to the wind farms under the "old tariff regime", while the wind farms awarded under the competitive tenders (e.g. Eólicas de Portugal - ENEOP) after the publication of the Decree-Law 33-A/2005 will not be subject to any type of changes.

The agreement reached provides additional stability to the Portuguese electricity system, and reinforces the legal framework in place and the country's commitment with renewable energy, by:
· Keeping unchanged all the provisions included in the Decree-Law 33-A/2005;
· Making the agreement voluntary to each one of the wind developers;
· Introducing a new tariff scheme, by extending the duration of the remuneration framework from the initial 15 years since the publication of the Decree-Law 33-A/2005 or the commercial operating date if later, to a duration of 20-22 years, in exchange for an annual payment by the developers from 2013 through 2020.
In order to maximise the number of wind developers that voluntarily adheres to the extension of the remuneration framework the Government proposed 4 alternative tariff schemes to be elected by each of the wind developers, providing i) alternative cap and floor selling prices; ii) alternative durations to the new scheme beyond the initial 15 years of the current contracts; and consequently iii) alternative levels of investment (on a per MW basis) to acquire the new scheme.
Through this regime, wind energy will be remunerated between year 16th and 2200 according with:
· The daily average wholesale market price when it is within the Floor and the Cap.
EDPR expects to annually invest between €3.6 million, during the 2013-2020 period, thus enabling additional long-term remuneration visibility for its Portuguese assets.
EDPR informed that Mr. António do Pranto Nogueira Leite and Mr. Francisco José Queiroz Barros de Lacerda have presented, by letters addressed to EDPR, their resignation from members of the Board of Directors. Following their resignation as members of the Board of Directors, Mr. António do Pranto Nogueira Leira and Mr. Francisco José Queiroz Barros de Lacerda also cease their positions in the Related Party Transactions Committee and in the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, respectively.

EDPR hereby informs that Mr. Luís de Abreu Castello-Branco Adão da Fonseca has presented, by letter addressed to EDPR, his resignation from member of the Board of Directors, due to personal reasons. Following his resignation Mr. Luís de Abreu Castello-Branco Adão da Fonseca also ceases his position in the Executive Committee.
EDPR started the construction of 39 MW of solar photovoltaic (solar PV) projects in Romania, executing one of the strategic growth options announced on its May 2012 Investor Day. The construction of the projects is expected to be concluded by the 1Q 2013.
In the 9M12, EDPR produced 13.3 TWh of clean energy, a 11% growth vs. 9M11. The electricity output growth reflects EDPR's well balanced portfolio: generation in Europe increased by 14% YoY and 9% in the US.
In the period, EDPR delivered a high 29% load factor (+1pp YoY), maintaining its leading position within the wind sector and reflecting its wind farms intrinsic quality.
As of Sep-12, EDPR managed a global portfolio of 7.7 GW in onshore wind energy spread over 8 different countries, of which 7.4 GW is fully consolidated plus 350 MW through its interest in the Eólicas de Portugal consortium.
Revenues in the 9M12 increased 22% YoY to €936m, outpacing volume growth given the sustained increase of the average selling price. EBITDA growth was in line with the Top-Line performance (+23% YoY to €675m) after a 15% Opex increase (excl. other operating income) and a €5m decline in other operating income, which resulted in a 72% EBITDA margin (+1pp YoY).
Net Profit in the 9M12 increased 48% YoY to €93m or 31% on a like-for-like basis (Adj. Net Profit of €94m in the 9M12 vs. €72m in the 9M11) when adjusted by the change in the operating assets' useful life to 25 years, recognition of deferred taxes in the US, forex differences, capital gains, use of provisions and write-offs/impairments.

EDPR has reached an agreement with Borealis Infrastructure ("Borealis") – which invests in and manages infrastructure investments on behalf of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System ("OMERS"), one of Canada's largest pension funds – to sell a 49% equity shareholding in a portfolio of wind farm assets in the US. The portfolio is comprised of four wind farms totalling 599 MW, installed between 2007 and 2008 (4.5 years of average age), and all of which have long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in place.
EDP Renováveis S.A. ("EDPR") and Vestas Wind Systems A/S ("Vestas") have agreed to extend until 2015 the delivery period of the turbines covered by the 1,500 MW master supply agreement (in reference to reference to the announcement made in April 26th 2010).

Overall, 2012 was a year where EDPR has strengthen its balance sheet, by increasing total equity by +5% YoY and reducing its total liabilities by -1%.
Total assets in 2012 totaled €13.3bn, of which c. 80% (€10.5bn) are related to net Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) reflecting the cumulative net invested capital in renewable energy generation.
Total net PP&E increased +€82m, mainly following the new additions in the period (+€690m) reduced by the depreciation charges and impairment losses in the period (-€501m), the effect from Fx translation mostly due to the USD devaluation (-€89m) and the disposals and write-offs (-€19m). Total cumulative net invested capital related to renewable energy assets in operation at the end of 2012 (excluding work in progress related to assets under construction and pipeline and excluding investment grants received) amounted to €9.5bn.
Net intangible assets and goodwill of €1.3bn mostly include the goodwill assigned to acquisitions in the US (€588m) and Spain (€535m) while total net accounts receivable of €1.0bn comprise loans to related parties (€538m), trade receivables (€180m), guarantees (€64m) and tax receivables (€55m).
Total equity at year-end of £5.7bn increased by +€296m during the year essentially from the sale of non-controlling interests of +€179m and the net profit of the period of +€136m (including +€10m attributable to non-controlling interests).
Total liabilities of €7.6bn at year-end 2012, stable versus prior year-end, consist c. 51% from financial debt (€3.9bn) and c. 12% from liabilities related to institutional partnerships (€0.9bn),
Liabilities related to institutional partnerships decreased by -€69m to €942m, mainly as a result of tax benefits monetized (-€111m), payments to institutional investors (-€16m), interests accrued (€67m) and Fx translation (-€18m). Deferred revenues from institutional partnerships of €738m consist of the deferred income related to tax benefits monetized by the institutional partners yet to be recognized in the income statement throughout the remaining lifetime of the respective assets.
Deferred Tax liabilities in the amount of €381m reflect from temporary differences between assets and liabilities on an accounting basis and on tax basis, while accounts payable of €1.6bn include payables to PP&E suppliers (€580m), deferred income related to Investment grants received (€324m), liabilities from fair value of derivative financial instruments (€245m) and tax payables (€57m).

In 2012, the company's revenues increased 20% YoY to €1,285m, on the back of higher output and stronger prices. Opex - defined as Operating Costs (net) minus Other operating income - was up 17% YoY, below the top-line growth evolution. On an unitary basis, Opex/MW and Opex/MWh increased 8% and 6% YoY, mostly impacted by a stronger US Dollar and write-offs. Excluding the forex impact and write-offs, Opex/MW and Opex/MWh only increased by 4% and 2% YoY.
In 2012, Supplies and services (which includes O&M costs) together with personnel costs increased 13% YoY, reflecting the stronger US Dollar, the higher average capacity in operation and lower capitalisations as a result of lower FTEs allocated to construction and development activities. Other operating costs (which mainly includes operating taxes, leases and rents) grew 29% YoY following the top-line growth, the stronger US Dollar, higher taxes (Spain and France) and grid access fees (Spain), and further write-offs related to pipeline rationalisation.
Unitary EBITDA per average MW in operation, a metric to measure the assets' profitability, increased 9% YoY to €131k in 2012 showing evidence of the ongoing improvement of EDPR's portfolio. As a result, EBITDA in 2012 totalled €938m, 17% higher vs. 2011.
The operating income (EBIT) increased 30% YoY to €450m in 2012, following the EBITDA performance and the 7% higher depreciation and amortisation. D&A were impacted by the new capacity brought into operation of the assets' useful life and impairments (€53m) mostly related to projects under development in Spain.
At the financial results level, net interest costs before capitalisation increased 8% YoY to €205m in 2012, below the 14% YoY average financial debt evolution. Institutional partnership costs were up 4% YoY given the stronger US Dollar, while forex differences and derivatives remained positive. Other financial expenses in the 4Q12 standalone amounted to €13m impacted by the early termination costs of financial debt (in line with 3Q12 excluding this effect).
Pre-Tax Profit increased 53% YoY to €182m in 2012. In the period, income taxes amounted to €46m, with an effective tax rate of 25% (vs. 24% in 2011). Non-controlling interests totalled €10m, following the better performance in EDPR Europe and the sale of a non-controlling interest in 599 MW in the US.
All in all, Net Profit increased 43% YoY to €126m in 2012 while Adjusted Net Profit increased by 32% YoY to €134m when adjusted by the non-recurrent events with impact on the operating income and by Forex differences and capital gains (in 2012 and 2011).

The distribution of dividends must be proposed by EDPR 's Board of Directors and authorized by a resolution approved in the Company's Shareholders Meeting. In keeping with the legal provisions in force, namely the Spanish Companies Law, the EDPR Articles of Association require that profits for a business year consider:
· The amount agreed by the General Shareholders' Meeting to constitute or increase reserve funds or free reserves;
· The remaining amount shall be booked as surplus.
The expected dividend policy of EDPR, as announced in the EDPR Investor Day of May 22nd, 2012, is to propose dividend distribution each year from 2013-15, representing 25% to 35% of EDPR's distributable profit. Accordingly, for 2013, EDPR's Board of Directors proposes a dividend of EUR 34,892,326.48, or €0.04 per share, which corresponds to a pay-out ratio of 28% on the consolidated results of EDPR net profit of 2012.

In 2012, for the first year, EDPR generated an Operating Cash-Flow above the overall investment. Operating Cash-Flow increased 4% YoY to €666m which compares unfavourably with the FFO performance given the non-recurrent working capital changes registered in 2011 and the increased stock of green certificates in Romania, which were mostly sold only at the beginning of 2013.
The key cash-flow items that explain the 2012 cash evolution are the following:

By Dec-12, EDPR net debt decreased €33m vs. Dec-11 to €3.4bn given that the Operating Cash-Flow and the first instalment of the asset rotation strategy more than covered the investment activities and the debt service of the period. The average financial debt increased 14% in the last 12 months (€4.0bn in 2012 vs €3.5bn in 2011), while the average net debt increased 8% YoY.
76% of EDPR's financial debt was contracted through shareholder loans with the EDP Group ~ EDPR's principal shareholder -, while loans with financial institutions represented 24%. To continue to diversify its funding sources EDPR keeps on executing top quality projects enabling the company to secure local project finance at competitive costs. In 2012, EDPR signed three new project finances for a total of €274m for projects in Spain (125 MW), Belgium (57 MW) and Romania (57 MW). Moreover, all of EDPR's wind installed capacity in Romania (285 MW) has now project finance structures fully secured (€238m).

Liabilities referred to as Institutional Partnerships decreased €68m YoY (€50m excluding the forex translation effect) to €942m, due to the tax benefits captured by the tax equity partners. As of Dec-12, 57% of EDPR's financial debt was Euro denominated, while 39% was funded in US Dollar given the company's investments in the US. The remaining debt is mainly related to funding in Polish Zloty an in Brazilian Real.
92% of the financial debt is at a fixed rate and most of it (c.80%) has a post-2018 maturity. EDPR continues to follow a long-term fixed rate funding strategy to match the Operating Cash-Flow profile with its financing costs, therefore mitigating its interest rate risk.
As of Dec-12, the average interest rate was 5.2%, a 20bps decrease vs. Dec-11, reflecting the longterm maturity of the current debt and the attractive rates closed in the latest funding.
EDPR is a global leading energy company. Our growth has been the result of an extraordinary ability to execute projects and to smoothly integrate new companies, people and cultures. Our markets provide attractive growth potential, mainly due to their growth prospects and the fact that they possess stable regulatory structures that allows for profitable returns.
EDPR continues to look at the renewable energy sector with a long-term outlook, believing that the environmental, economic and technological trends that have underpinned the currently favorable renewable energy market conditions will continue to drive further support for growth in our markets.
EDPR has a solid history executing projects and delivering targets. We consistently increased installed capacity through the successful development of pipeline. The company's successful results stem from a unique combination of factors: strong track record in execution, first class assets with above average wind resource quality, a well balanced portfolio in terms of geography, stage of development and revenue sources, and a competitive turbine supply strategy.
The combination of diversified operations with a stable revenue base spread across countries with favorable regulatory regimes limits the exposure to market prices of electricity and provides significant visibility and stability.
At the core of EDPR's confidence in achieving these targets, is a dynamic, highly qualified and experienced team of world-wide employees with the track record and ambition to deliver upon our targets.

EDPR's risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning.
In EDPR's risk framework, risk process aims to link the company's overall strategy to manager's day-to-day decisions, enabling the company to increase the likelihood of achieving its strategic objectives.
EDPR's general strategy is translated into major strategic questions that are grouped by risk area and then subject to EDPR's risk process. The outcome of the risk process is a set of specific guidelines per risk area that will guide managers in their decisions according to the company's risk profile.



Risk management in EDPR is supported by three distinct organizational functions:
EDPR's risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning. The following list summarizes the main risk areas and descriptions of EDPR's business:

The development and profitability of renewable energy projects are subject to policies and regulatory frameworks. The jurisdictions in which EDPR operates provide numerous types of incentives that support the energy generated from renewable sources.
The European Union and various US federal and state bodies have regularly reaffirmed their desire to continue and strengthen support for renewable energy sources, although due to the financial difficulties that Governments are experiencing, remuneration schemes have become less competitive in some countries.
Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that the current support will be maintained or that the electricity produced by future renewable energy projects will benefit from state purchase obligations, tax incentives, or other support measures for the electricity generation from renewable energy sources. Regulation promoting green energy has been revised or is being under study in a large number of regions.
EDPR is managing its exposure to regulatory risks through diversification (being present in several countries) and by being an active member in several wind associations. Sensitivity analyses to updated regulatory scenarios are also performed.
EDPR faces limited market price risk as it pursues a strategy of being present in countries or regions with long term visibility on revenues. In most countries where EDPR is present, prices are determined through regulated framework mechanisms. In the markets where there is expected short term volatility in market prices, EDPR uses various financial and commodity hedging instruments in order to optimize the exposure to fluctuating electricity prices. However, it may not be possible to successfully hedge the exposures or there may be other difficulties in executing the hedging strategy.

In Europe, EDPR operates in countries where the selling price is defined by a feed-in-tariff (Spain, Portugal and France) or in markets where on top of the electricity price, EDPR receives either a pre-defined regulated premium or a green certificate, whose price is achieved on a regulated market (Spain, Belgium, Poland, and Romania). Additionally, EDPR is developing activity in Italy and UK where current incentive system is based on green certificates. Recently Italy changed to a feed in tariff from green certificates and UK is in process.
In North America, EDPR is focus on developing in states which have an RPS program in place, providing higher revenues visibility through the REC (Renewable Energy Credit) market and noncompliance penalties. The North American market does not provide a regulated framework system for the electricity price although it may exist for the RECs in some states. Most of EDPR's capacity in the US has predefined prices determined by long-term contracts with local utilities in line with the Company's policy of signing long-term contracts for the output of its wind farms. In Brazilian operations, the selling price is defined through a public auction which is later translated into a long-term contract.
Under EDPR's global approach to optimize the exposure to market electricity prices, the Company evaluates on a permanent basis if there are any deviations to the defined limits (measured through EBITDA at risk), assessing in which markets financial hedges may be more effective to correct it. In 2012, in order to manage such exposure, EDPR financially hedged a significant part of its generation in Spain while in the US it closed a significant portion of its exposure through several power purchase agreements, long term hedges and financial swaps. Additionally, EDPR hedged part of the merchant generation in Poland and Romania.
The amount of electricity generated by EDPR from its wind farms, and therefore EDPR's profitability, is dependent on climatic conditions, which vary across the locations of the wind farms, and from season to season and year to year. Energy output at wind farms may decline if wind speed falls outside specific ranges, as turbines will only operate when wind speeds are within those ranges.
Variations and fluctuations in wind conditions at wind farms may result in seasonal and other fluctuations in the amount of electricity that is generated and, consequently, in the operating results and efficiency.

EDPR mitigates wind resource volatility and seasonality by having a strong knowledge in the design of its wind farms and through geographical diversification - in each country and in different countries – of its asset base. This "portfolio effect" enables EDPR to offset wind variations in each area and to keep the total energy generation relatively steady. Currently, EDPR is present in 11 countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil. There exist financial products to hedge weather risk. EDPR is currently exploring the interest of contracting those products in specific cases.
EDPR is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates through financing. This risk can be mitigated by contracting fixed rates and financial instruments such as hedges and interest rate swaps.
Additionally, because of its presence in several countries, currency fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the financial results. EDPR hedges against currency fluctuations by employing natural hedging strategies, and using hedging instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts and Cross Interest Rate Swaps.
EDPR's hedging efforts minimize but don't eliminate the impact of interest rate and exchange rate volatility.
The evolution of the financial markets is analyzed on an on-going basis in accordance to EDP Group's risk management policy approved by the EDPR`s Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the definition of general risk-management principles and the establishment of exposure limits based on the recommendation of the Risk Committee.
Taking into account the risk management policy and approved exposure limits, the Finance team identifies evaluates, and submits the financial strategy appropriate to each project/location for the Board's approval.

The purpose of the interest rate risk management policies is to reduce the exposure of long term debt cash flows from market fluctuations, mainly by contracting long term debt with a fixed rate, but also through the settlement of derivative financial instruments to swap from floating rate to fixed rate when long term debt is issued with floating rates.
EDPR has a portfolio of interest-rate derivatives with maturities ranging from 2 to 14 years. Sensitivity analyses of the fair value of financial instruments to interest-rate fluctuations are performed.
Given the policies adopted by EDPR Group, its financial cash flows are substantially independent from the fluctuation in interest rates.
EDPR operates internationally and is exposed to the exchange-rate risk resulting from investments in foreign subsidiaries. Currently, the main currency exposure is the U.S. dollar/euro currency fluctuation risk that results principally from our operations in the US. With the ongoing increasing capacity in others non-euro regions, EDPR is also exposed to different currencies in Poland, Romania, Brazil, United Kingdom and Canada.
EDPR's general policy is the Natural Hedging in order to match currency cash flows, minimizing the impact of changes in the exchange rate and preserving value. The essence of this approach is to create financial foreign currency outflows to match equivalent foreign currency inflows.
Counterparty risk is the default risk of third-parties in an agreement with EDPR either due to temporary liquidity issues or long term systemic issues.
EDPR's policy in terms of the counterparty credit risk on financial transactions is managed by an analysis of the technical capacity, competitiveness, credit notation and exposure to each counterparty. Counterparties in derivatives and financial transactions are restricted to high-quality credit institutions, there cannot be considered any significant risk of counterparty noncompliance and no collateral is demanded for these transactions.

Liquidity risk is the risk that EDPR will not be able to meet its financial obligations.
EDPR's strategy to manage liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to EDPR's reputation.
EDPR has a diversified financial structure composed of corporate debt and project finance, which. considers among other factors, financing cost, project ownership and project currency liquidity. Finally, EDPR uses a financial model to forecast liquidity risk in the medium and long term to meet strategic targets previously set (EBITDA, debt ratio and others).
The wind turbine generator (WTG) is a key element in the development of EDPR's wind-related energy projects, as the shortfall or an unexpected sharp increase in WTG prices can create a question mark on new project's development and profitability. WTG represents on average 70 to 80% of a wind farm´s capital expenditure.
EDPR faces limited risk to the availability and price increase of WTG's due to the framework agreements with the major global wind turbines suppliers. The Company uses a large mix of turbines suppliers in order to diversify the wind turbine supply risk.
Wind farms are subject to strict regulations at different authority levels (international, national, state, regional and local) relating to the development, construction, grid interconnection and operation of power plants. Among other things, these laws regulate landscape and environmental aspects, building licenses, land use and land securing and access to the grid issues.

While level of exigency might be different depending on the geographies, we acknowledge a trend for legislations to align towards the most restrictive rules and development risks concentrating on the consenting (namely environmental and urbanistic aspects) and connection side.
In this context, the experience EDPR is able to gather in a certain country will be useful to anticipate and deal with future similar changes in other countries.
During the development and design phase, EDPR focuses on the optimization of its projects. By mastering the variables under our control, such as choice of locations, optimal lay-out, we intend to make our projects more resilient to an adverse external environment
EDPR mitigates this risk by generating optionality, by having development activities in 11 different countries (Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil) with a portfolio of projects in several stages of maturity. EDPR has a large pipeline located in the most attractive regions providing a "buffer" to overcome potential delays in the development of new projects, ensuring growth targets and being able to compensate permitting delays in some geographies with development efforts in others.
Wind farm output depends upon the availability and operating performance of the equipment necessary to operate it, mainly the components of wind turbines and transformers. Therefore, the risk is that the performance of the turbine does not reach its optimum thus leading to lower than expected value.
EDPR mitigates this risk by using a mix of turbine suppliers which minimizes technological risk, by signing a medium-term full-scope maintenance agreement with the turbine supplier and by an adequate preventive and scheduled maintenance program.
Most recently, EDPR is externalizing non core technical O&M activities of its wind farms, while primary and value added activities continue controlled by EDPR.

In line with EDPR's general risk policy and strategy EDPR uses financial derivative instruments and enters in hedging positions and transactions with the sole intent to protect against those risks and, as a consequence, mitigate fluctuations of its earnings and/or changes in its equity.
The type of derivative instruments contracted and their respective fair values are described in detail as part of the note 11 to the attached Condensed Individual Financial Statements.
At the Annual Shareholders' meeting of 2010, the Board of Directors was authorized, during a term of five years from the date of the General Shareholders Meeting, for the derivative acquisition and sale of own shares by the Company and/or other affiliate companies, to the maximum limit established by the Law and in accordance with its terms.
EDPR has not executed any acquisition and consequently any trade of its own shares.
Beyond the commercial activities, EDP Renováveis supports EDP Inovação (EDPI) in developing different projects with the objective of improving competitiveness.
These projects are mainly focused on solar, offshore wind and other technologies.
This agreement with EDPI reinforces the long term commitment of EDPR to support R&D activities in areas related with its business.

EDPR is a leading company in renewable energy. We produce clean and green energy, energy without emissions. Our strategy towards the environment is based in four pillars: the generation of CO2-free energy, a strategy to minimize impacts during the life-cycle of our wind farms, a culture of respect for the biodiversity and a culture of responsibility and recycling in our offices.


Our portfolio of 8 GW of installed capacity contributes every year to the worldwide fight against climate change. We significantly improve local and global air quality by mitigating emissions that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere due to the operation of other kinds of energy generation based on fossil fuels.
During 2012, EDPR has produced 18.4 TWh that is estimated to avoid the emission of 14,521 thousand tons of CO2.


The company growth plans of pure renewable energy represent a solid commitment to foster the use of green energy sources. Moreover, we are committed to support the use the best technologies available in order to preserve natural resources and reduce pollution.
In order to protect the environment, we complement our strategy of fighting against climate change with an environmentally responsible management of our wind farms. This strategy is supported by the Environmental and Biodiversity policies based on EDP Group's Guidelines that were approved by EDPR Executive Committee.
Our policies reflect a responsible management of the environment along the whole value chain. From the very early stages of project development – when it is critical to perform environmental and cultural feasibility studies - to the decommissioning of our wind farms - where our environmental strategy includes a waste management plan, environmental monitoring plans and habitat restoration. All this process is supported by an extensive local knowledge that allows us to ensure environmental compliance during the project life cycle.
Moreover, EDPR pursues to minimize impacts on the eco-system. When impacts cannot be prevented, we implement compensation measures, including partnerships with environmental associations aimed at achieving a globally positive biodiversity balance.
Nevertheless, wind farms are typically constructed in rural areas where wind resource is abundant and the operation of wind farms is compatible with current land use. Once construction is complete, less than 1% of the total project area is taken out of permanent production, and its change of use is approved by the competent authorities.

The primary use of this land is for access roads to the wind turbine locations, a small area for the wind turbine and electrical transformer, and a gravelled pad area for a crane to be used in construction and maintenance activities.
To guarantee the proper management of the environmental aspects and compliance with applicable environmental legislation, EDPR initiated in 2008 the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS).
The EMS covers, among others, the procedures applicable to all wind farms in operation to establish operational controls, monitoring and measurements of the relevant environmental aspects. Environment surveillance is carried out periodically to assess the significance of the environmental aspects. The frequency of further surveillances is established in the monitoring plan given the assessment made. There are a few cases in which the surveillance is performed on a daily basis.
In Europe, the EMS has been ISO 14001:2004 certified. By the end of 2012, all EDPR European wind farms that have been in service before June 2012 and operated by EDPR have been certified, accounting for 3.664 MW, about 50% of EDPR installed capacity.

One of the main competitive advantages that leads EDPR to deliver, year after year, exceptional operational results is the company's human capital. A young world class team with excellent qualifications and an extensive local knowledge. EDPR's capacity to attract and retain this qualified workforce has been of vital importance to develop and retain a strong know-how essential to deliver on its strategy.
In 2012, EDPR employed 861 people, 32% of which are located in North America and Brazil, while 68% work in Europe. Of our employees, 99% have an undetermined contract.

Note: Figures do not include the members of the Board of Directors, except three members of the Executive Committee
We have a qualified and diverse team aligned with our business strategy, 72% of which hold university degrees and 71% are less than 40 years old. This deep pool of highly qualified talent has supported EDPR's exponential growth and provides the optimal base to face future opportunities and challenges. Additionally, our people strongly reflect EDPR's energy and enthusiasm.



Throughout the year, 145 new employees joined EDPR while 80 are no longer with the company, resulting in a turnover ratio of 13%, which is in line with the previous years.

The satisfaction of our employees has been one of the key drivers to retain our highly qualified workforce. Providing one of the best workplaces in the regions where we are present increases our employees' pride and ownership feeling for the company. It is also a great communication channel to transmit our values to potential new hires. Therefore, at EDPR we pursue and have obtained different certifications that confirm our distinction as one of the best places to work.
In 2012, EDPR was included in the Great Place to Work (GPTW) ranking in Spain. This was achieved following a survey sent to the company's employees, by an independent body, asking for their opinion on many factors of company life.
Despite being the first time we applied to be included in this ranking, EDPR ranked among the top six best companies to work in Spain, in the 250 to 500 employees category.
EDPR in 2012 was voted a top workplace in the US for the third year in a row. More than 72,500 Houston-area employees weighed in with opinions for this year's Houston Chronicle's Top Workplaces section - rating their companies in such areas as opportunities for advancement, the value of their pay and benefits, and their bosses' communication and management skills.
We are committed to offer a competitive compensation and benefits package to recognize the work and talent of our employees, with no distinctions between full time and part time employees.
Our compensation policy addresses the needs of every local market, with enough flexibility to adapt to the specifics of each region. It is based on a fixed base, complemented by a variable component that depends on a performance evaluation measured against company performance, area, and individual KPIs.
We support our remunerations package with multiple benefits and a Flexible Remuneration Package, which allows our employees to benefit from tax incentives according to local legislation. In addition, we reached agreements with local partners, to offer our employees discounts on specific products.

One of our main focuses continues to be the promotion and encouragement of work-life balance of our employees. This pursuit increases our employee's satisfaction, while boosting their productivity, commitment and accountability.
EDPR implemented work-life balance programs throughout its geographies and aims constantly at improving and providing additional benefits.
Benefits in the work-life balance program are specific and include, among others depending on the geographies, subsidies for employees' children to perform summer activities, additional paid leave to extend parental leave or to celebrate the birthday and others.
In 2011, EDPR has been recognized with the Family-Responsible Employer Certification (Empresa Familiarmente Responsable), for its work-life balance practices in Spain.
During 2012, our practices have been audited, as part of the certification renewal process performed every two years. The results of the audit process confirmed the excellence of the current management model, as well as the compliance with the certification standards. There was a special mention in the audit outcome to the efforts continuous improvement of the company's practices, which should be positively reflected in future evaluations.
Ensuring that employees have time for family and friends is one of the pillars to achieve a healthy work-life balance. During 2012, we hosted activities for employees' children. We wanted them to visit our offices and see where their parents work. These activities took place in Europe and in the US along the year.
As a sustainable company that is proud of being an active member of our many communities, our employees are encouraged to actively participate in their communities and to be responsive and aware of emerging needs through many volunteering initiatives.
Moreover, our volunteering practices create an environment both within the company and in the communities where we do business that is more open to near ideas, supportive of individual differences and embodies what is best in volunteerism.

To engage in our volunteering programs, employees can participate in several campaigns, by donating, or by engaging in several activities, during working hours or during the weekends. In the US, there is a Volunteering Committee that plans periodic activities aimed at generating a positive impact in society.
EDPR strives to train and prepare its top quality team, with a clear focus on tackling the challenges and opportunities of the future. To do so, EDPR has implemented a strong training, development and mobility strategy. With these efforts, we want to preserve the excellence of the company's human capital, while offering our people an attractive career development plan with opportunities for professional growth.
To support company's global growth strategy, mobility is of upmost importance as a powerful tool to share EDPR culture and best practices with new markets where we plan to enter. In addition, it also opens new horizons to our employees in their career development.
During 2012, we initiated a process to facilitate employees' access to those opportunities that better match their career plans. Employees were encouraged to update their professional experience information and their preferences regarding mobility.
This information was processed in order to identify different profiles within the company, preparing for the forthcoming mobility requirements. In the following years, new open positions within the company will be matched with the generated profiles, in order to prioritize internal movement with those employees whose competencies, training and mobility preferences match the requirements for the new position.
When defining our strategy for the future, we strive to align current and future demands of the organization with employees' capabilities while fulfilling their professional development expectations and supporting their continued employability. We are committed to offer our employees an attractive career plan, as well as continuous education and training opportunities.
All of EDPR employees, regardless of their professional category, are evaluated yearly to determine the potential for development, thus creating a tailored development plan with the

most suitable training to address their particular needs. The potential assessment process is independent from performance appraisal and is based on a 360 degree evaluation model in which the system collects information from several data sources to evaluate employee performance: oneself, peers, subordinates and manager.
In 2012, the number of attendances to training sessions increased to 2,270, representing 2.93 attendances to training courses per employee. On the other hand, the total number of training hours decreased to 14,611, as a result of a change of profile of training to more focused, shorter courses.
| Training Metrics | 2012 | 2011 | % |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of training hours (#) | 14,611 | 17,873 | -18% |
| Training investment (k€) | 924 | 1,033 | -11% |
| Number of attendances (#) | 2,270 | 2,004 | 13% |
Note: Training from Portugal and Brazil is reported by EDP and, as a result, not included Note 2: Metrics do not include language training. In 2012, language training accounted for 2,713 hours and 166 attendances , while in 2011 language training represented 20,123 hours and 1,681 attendances.
In the coming years, the Renewable Energy School will gain relevance as a tool aimed at facilitating know-how sharing and providing employees with an overview of the strategic challenges that the company faces.
The Renewable Energy School was created in 2011, in the context of the EDP University, and since its creation, it has proven to be a success, delivering 23 training sessions (representing 229 hours) to 389 attendants.
The School also fostered strategic discussion with a workshop prepared during 2012 involving directors from different areas across the company. And our business partners have also contributed to the objective of our school through collaborative courses, such as a specific training session in offshore wind energy held with Repsol and other collaborations with EDP University.
Our training strategy is also focused on boost career development of our high potential employees, as we want them to become the future leaders to carry EDPR to the next level. With this objective, during 2012, we continued offering those employees a specific training program named High-Potential Program (HIPO).
Through the HIPO, those employees are assisted in their professional development with the support of a mentor that will provide employees with guidance in their careers, and specific training to develop the required soft skills to grow professionally within the company.

Effective leadership is a pre-requisite for success and company's development. During 2012, EDPR provided its management with top leadership training topics from leadership responsibilities to leadership style. The training sessions held for this purpose were an excellent forum to share leadership experiences.
When defining our strategy for the future, we strive to align current and future demands of the organization with employees' capabilities while fulfilling their professional development expectations and supporting their continued employability. We are committed to offer our employees an attractive career plan, as well as continuous education and training opportunities.
In order to fuel future growth, increase efficiency and drive innovation, EDPR is constantly scanning globally to recruit top talent. To this extent a recruiting strategy has been developed to achieve this critical goal, while ensuring that new hires are aligned with the company's values:

In 2012, we hired 145 employees, 33% of them women.

EDP Renováveis, has adopted the governance structure in effect in Spain. It comprises a General Shareholders' Meeting and a Board of Directors that represents and manages the company. The Company's Board of Directors has set up four committees. These are the Executive Committee, the Audit and Control Committee, the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, Related-Party Transactions Committee.
The governance model of EDPR is designed to ensure the transparency, meticulous separation of duties and the specialization of supervision.
The purpose of the choice of this model by EDPR is to adapt the Company's corporate governance structure to the Portuguese legislation. The governance model adopted by EDPR therefore seeks, as it is compatible with its personal law, to correspond to the so-called "Anglo-Saxon" model set forth in the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, in which the management body is a Board of Directors, and the supervision and control duties are of the responsibility of an Audit and Control Committee.
The choice of this model complies with the purpose of establishing compatibility between two different systems of company law, which could be considered applicable to the model.
The experience of institutional operating indicates that the governance model adopted by the shareholders is appropriate to the corporate organisation of EDP Renováveis activity, especially because it affords transparency and healthy balance between the management functions of the Executive Committee, the supervisory functions of the Audit and Control Committee and oversight by different specialised Board of Directors' committees.
The institutional and functional relationship between the Executive Committee, the Audit and Control Committee and the other non-executive members of the Board of Directors has been harmony conducive to the development of the company's business.
In order to ensure a better understanding of EDP Renováveis corporate governance by its shareholders, the Company posts its updated Articles of Association at www.edprenovaveis.com.

The General Meeting of Shareholders, when properly convened, has the power to decide and adopt majority decisions on matters that the law and the Articles of Association set forth that it should be decided and be submitted for its approval.
The Board of Directors has the broadest powers for the management and governance of the Company, with no limitations other than the competences expressly allocated exclusively to the General Shareholders' Meeting by law or the Articles of Association.

The Audit and Control Committee found no constraints in performing its duties.
EDPR has an Internal Control System over Financial Reporting (SCIRF) updated and monitored in line with international standards of internal control.
This system covers the main aspects of COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission): maintaining a control environment for the preparation of qualified financial information, assessment of the risks of financial reporting, existence of control activities to mitigate risks of error, information, and communication and evaluation mechanisms.
EDPR, in order to implement and maintain the SCIRF in operational terms, has developed a Responsibilities Model and a SCIRF Manual
The Responsibilities Model includes the functions and main activities in the management and maintenance of the system at all levels of the organization including: monitoring activities related to the annual cycle, the implementation of controls, and documentation of evidence and supervision activities.
EDPR has also a SCIRF Manual where the general principles of the Internal Control System over Financial Reporting are established, as well as the methodology used, the procedures for ensuring the effectiveness of internal control, and design of models, documentation, evaluation, and reporting.
EDPR has a Code of Ethics published on its intranet, which includes principles like transparency, honesty, integrity, nondiscrimination, equal opportunity, and sustainability.
The Code of Ethics has been widely circulated among employees of the Group through internal communications mechanisms, individual shipments, delivery to new employees, and intranet publishing.
There is a strong commitment by the Company in relation to the dissemination and promotion of compliance with the Code available to all employees through training, questionnaires, and open discussions of the findings
There is also an Ethics Channel and Ethics Regulation to articulate any specific claims of the Code of Ethics and to resolve doubts on all matters relating to the Code of Ethics.
Communications regarding possible breaches of the Code of Ethics are sent to the Ethics Ombudsman, which performs a first analysis, forwarding its conclusion to the Ethics Committee of EDPR, which receives, records, processes, and reports to the Board of Directors.
In 2012 there were no communications to the Ethics Ombudsmen regarding any irregularity at EDPR.
In addition to the Code of Ethics and the Ethics Channel, EDPR has implemented a Communication Channel to the Audit and Control Committee that allows direct communication with the Audit and Control Committee of any inappropriate practices in accounting and finance.
The operation of this Communication Channel is regulated by the Regulation on procedures to be adopted in communication matters to the Audit and Control Committee. Submissions can be made by email or letter, being handled by the Secretary of the Audit and Control Committee. To ensure confidentiality, access to information submitted is restricted and limited.
The SCIRF Manual includes the annual update of the scope that aims to identify companies, areas, and processes that must be included in the scope of SCIRF, according to criteria of materiality and risk, including the risk of error or fraud.
The risk analysis included in the scoping process for SCIRF, includes different types of risk (operational, economic, financial, technological, or legal) and control objectives of financial reporting (existence and occurrence, completeness, measurement, presentation, disclosure, comparability, and rights, and obligations in terms of their potential impact on the financial statements).

The results of the updated scope with the methodology outlined are communicated at all levels of the organization involved in the SCIRF and supervised by the Audit and Control Committee
In documented SCIRF processes and controls, information capture mechanisms are established (including identification of the scope of consolidation). The steps and controls that are carried out for the preparation of the financial information that will be part of consolidated financial statements are specified.
The procedures for review and approval of financial information are provided by the areas of Planning and Control. Administration, and Finance. Financial information is monitored in the scope of its competences by the Audit and Control Committee, prior to the formulation of the accounts by the Board of Directors.
The SCIRF includes control activities related to these processes, embodied in Entity Level Controls, Process Controls, and General Computer Controls. These processes include review and approval activities of the financial information which are described in the processes of elaboration of individual accounts, preparation of consolidated accounts, and processing of consolidated financial statements
EDPR has descriptions of Competency Profiles for the Positions to be carried out in the exercise of the main features of each position that includes a description of their main responsibilities. These include the descriptions of the key positions of those involved in the preparation of financial information. These descriptions include responsibilities in the preparation of financial information and compliance with internal control procedures.
The documentation of processes and associated controls designed include among others, the completion of closure activities by completing monthly closing checklists by entity. setting time limits for the closures, the identification of the relevance of the operations in order to be reviewed at the appropriate level, conducting analytical reviews of financial information, the existence of limitations in systems to prevent erroneous records or by unauthorized people. analysis of deviations from the budget, the analysis in the meetings of the Executive Committee of relevant and significant facts that could cause a significant impact on the accounts, or the allocation of responsibilities for calculating amounts to be provisioned for them to be carried out by authorized personnel with the right skills.
In addition to the mentioned processes, major transactional processes resulting from the scope are documented. The description of the activities and controls are designed with the aim of ensuring the registration, evaluation, appropriate presentation, and disclosure of transactions in financial reporting.
Control activities of EDPR's SCIRF also include those relating to systems and information technology (Computer General Controls) following an international reference, the COBIT framework (Control Objectives for Information and related Technologies). The importance of this area is that the information systems are the tools with which financial information is prepared, and is therefore, relevant for transactions conducted with them.
These control activities include those related to access control to applications and systems, segregation of duties, management of corrective and evolutive maintenance, new projects implementation, administration and management of the systems, facilities and operations (back-ups, security incidents), and their proper monitoring and planning. These activities are developed taking into account the requirements of control and supervision.
Among the activities of SCIRF's scope update, there is a periodic analysis of the existence of service providers that perform relevant activities in relation to the processes of preparing financial information.
EDPR Group decided to have its SCIRF audited by the external auditor as of December 316, 2012. The external auditor has included in the scope of their audit work, an opinion on the SCIRF of the EDPR Group, specific jobs regarding EDPR's SCIRF.
EDPR's risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning.
In EDPR's risk framework, risk process aims to link the company's overall strategy to manager's day-to-day decisions, enabling the company to increase the likelihood of achieving its strategic objectives.
EDPR's general strategy is translated into major strategic questions that are grouped by risk area and then subject to EDPR's risk process. The outcome of the risk process is a set of specific guidelines per risk area that will guide managers in their decisions according to the company's risk profile.

The administration, governance, and management of the company lies in the governing bodies of the Company (General Shareholders' Meeting, Board of Directors, and Executive Committee) and corresponds to the Board of Directors to establish the organization of the Company.
The Board of Directors sets limits regarding the allocation of powers of the Executive Committee, the CEO, and the Audit and Control Committee. It is also defined by the Board of Directors the guide lines to conduct transactions with third parties.
EDPR's Articles of Association in its Article 28 mentions that the Audit and Control Committee has, among other powers. the obligation to meet the internal control systems of the Company.
The Audit and Control Committee supervises the SCIRF in the scope of the exercise of their activities through the monitoring and supervision of the developed mechanisms for SCIRF's implementation, evolution and evaluation, and the results of the scope analysis and the extent of the situation in terms of coverage. For this purpose, the Audit and Control Committee is assisted by the Internal Audit Department.
EDPR has an Internal Audit Department that reports to the President of the Board of Directors and is overseen by the Audit and Control Committee as provided in the Basic Internal Audit Act.
The main functions of the Internal Audit Department are set out in the Basic Internal Audit Act which includes, among others, the evaluation activities of internal control systems including the internal control system over financial reporting.
The annual work plans of the Internal Audit Department are subject to the approval of the Audit and Control Committee.
Among these activities, Internal Audit supports the Audit and Control Committee in monitoring the implementation and maintenance of SCIRF and reports the results of the evaluation, the improvement actions identified, and their evolution.
The entity has action plans for the improvement actions identified in SCIRF's assessment processes, which are accompanied and supervised by the Internal Audit Department, considering their impact on the financial information.
Also in the year 2012, as in previous years, a process of selfcertification was made by the heads of the various process owners regarding proper documentation update on SCIRF controls and processes in their area of responsibility and the implementation of controls with corresponding evidence.
The auditor may communicate relevant issues arising from its financial audit work and any single internal control weaknesses identified in the course of their work. For this purpose, the auditor has summoned meetings with the Audit and Control Committee accompanying the results of their work usually once a vear.
The reporting mechanism of the Internal Audit Department to senior management and the Audit and Control Committee is specified in the Basic Internal Audit Act, including the reporting of the results of their work.
Risk management in EDPR is supported by three distinct organizational functions:

EDPR's risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning.
In EDPR's risk framework, risk process aims to link the company's overall strategy to manager's day-to-day decisions, enabling the company to increase the likelihood of achieving its strategic objectives.
EDPR's general strategy is translated into major strategic questions that are grouped by risk area and then subject to EDPR's risk process. The outcome of the risk process is a set of specific guidelines per risk area that will guide managers in their decisions according to the company's risk profile.

All EDPR governing bodies and special committees have internal Regulations which are available to the public on the company's website at www.edprenovaveis.com.
The Chairperson of EDPR's Board of Directors does not have executive duties.
AREAS AND RISK RELATED STRATEGIC RISK QUESTIONS
The following list summarizes the main risk areas and descriptions of EDPR's business:
The development and profitability of renewable energy projects are subject to policies and regulatory frameworks. The jurisdictions in which EDPR operates provide numerous types of incentives that support the energy generated from renewable sources.
The European Union and various US federal and state bodies have regularly reaffirmed their desire to continue and strengthen support for renewable energy sources, although due to the financial difficulties that Governments are experiencing, remuneration schemes have become less competitive in some countries.
Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that the current support will be maintained or that the electricity produced by future renewable energy projects will benefit from state purchase obligations, tax incentives, or other support measures for the electricity generation from renewable energy sources.
Regulation promoting green energy has been revised or is being under study in a large number of regions.
EDPR is managing its exposure to regulatory risks through diversification (being present in several countries) and by being an active member in several wind associations. Sensitivity analyses to updated regulatory scenarios are also performed.
EDPR faces limited market price risk as it pursues a strategy of being present in countries or regions with long term visibility on revenues. In most countries where EDPR is present, prices are determined through regulated framework mechanisms. In the markets where there is expected short term volatility in market prices. EDPR uses various financial and commodity hedging instruments in order to optimize the exposure to fluctuating electricity prices. However, it may not be possible to successfully hedge the exposures or there may be other difficulties in executing the hedging strategy.
In Europe, EDPR operates in countries where the selling price is defined by a feed-in-tariff (Spain, Portugal and France) or in markets where on top of the electricity price, EDPR receives either a pre-defined regulated premium or a green certificate, whose price is achieved on a regulated market (Spain, Belgium, Poland, and Romania). Additionally, EDPR is developing activity in Italy and UK where current incentive system is based on green certificates. Recently Italy changed to a feed in tariff from green certificates and UK is in process.
In North America, EDPR is focus on developing in states which have an RPS program in place, providing higher revenues visibility through the REC (Renewable Energy Credit) market and non-compliance penalties. The North American market does not provide a regulated framework system for the electricity price although it may exist for the RECs in some states. Most of EDPR's capacity in the US has predefined prices determined by long-term contracts with local utilities in line with the Company's policy of signing long-term contracts for the output of its wind farms.
In Brazilian operations, the selling price is defined through a public auction which is later translated into a long-term contract.
Under EDPR's global approach to optimize the exposure to market electricity prices, the Company evaluates on a permanent basis if there are any deviations to the defined limits (measured through EBITDA at risk), assessing in which markets financial hedges may be more effective to correct it. In 2012, in order to manage such exposure, EDPR financially hedged a significant part of its generation in Spain while in the US it closed a significant portion of its exposure through several power purchase agreements, long term hedges and financial swaps. Additionally, EDPR hedged part of the merchant generation in Poland and Romania.
The amount of electricity generated by EDPR from its wind farms, and therefore EDPR's profitability, is dependent on climatic conditions, which vary across the locations of the wind farms, and from season to season and year to year. Energy output at wind farms may decline if wind speed falls outside specific ranges, as turbines will only operate when wind speeds are within those ranges.
Variations and fluctuations in wind conditions at wind farms may result in seasonal and other fluctuations in the amount of electricity that is generated and, consequently, in the operating results and efficiency.
EDPR mitigates wind resource volatility and seasonality by having a strong knowledge in the design of its wind farms and through geographical diversification – in each country and in different countries - of its asset base. This "portfolio effect" enables EDPR to offset wind variations in each area and to keep the total energy generation relatively steady. Currently, EDPR is present in 11 countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil.
There exist financial products to hedge weather risk. EDPR is currently exploring the interest of contracting those products in specific cases.
EDPR is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates through financing. This risk can be mitigated by contracting fixed rates and financial instruments such as hedges and interest rate swaps.
Additionally, because of its presence in several countries, currency fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the financial results. EDPR hedges against currency fluctuations by employing natural hedging strategies, and using hedging instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts and Cross Interest Rate Swaps.
EDPR's hedging efforts minimize but don't eliminate the impact of interest rate and exchange rate volatility.
The evolution of the financial markets is analyzed on an ongoing basis in accordance to EDP Group's risk management policy approved by the EDPR`s Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the definition of general risk-management principles and the establishment of exposure limits based on the recommendation of the Risk Committee.
Taking into account the risk management policy and approved exposure limits, the Finance team identifies evaluates, and submits the financial strategy appropriate to each project/location for the Board's approval.
The purpose of the interest rate risk management policies is to reduce the exposure of long term debt cash flows from market fluctuations, mainly by contracting long term debt with a fixed rate, but also through the settlement of derivative financial instruments to swap from floating rate to fixed rate when long term debt is issued with floating rates.
EDPR has a portfolio of interest-rate derivatives with maturities ranging from 2 to 14 vears. Sensitivity analyses of the fair value of financial instruments to interest-rate fluctuations are performed.
Given the policies adopted by EDPR Group, its financial cash flows are substantially independent from the fluctuation in interest rates.
EDPR operates internationally and is exposed to the exchange-rate risk resulting from investments in foreign subsidiaries. Currently, the main currency exposure is the U.S. dollar/euro currency fluctuation risk that results principally from our operations in the US. With the ongoing increasing capacity in others non-euro regions, EDPR is also exposed to different currencies in Poland, Romania, Brazil, United Kingdom and Canada.
EDPR's general policy is the Natural Hedging in order to match currency cash flows, minimizing the impact of changes in the exchange rate and preserving value. The essence of this approach is to create financial foreign currency outflows to match equivalent foreign currency inflows.
Counterparty risk is the default risk of third-parties in an agreement with EDPR either due to temporary liquidity issues or long term systemic issues.
EDPR's policy in terms of the counterparty credit risk on financial transactions is managed by an analysis of the technical capacity, competitiveness, credit notation and exposure to each counterparty. Counterparties in derivatives and financial transactions are restricted to high-quality credit institutions, therefore, there cannot be considered any significant risk of counterparty non-compliance and no collateral is demanded for these transactions.
Liquidity risk is the risk that EDPR will not be able to meet its financial obligations.
EDPR's strategy to manage liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to EDPR's

EDPR has a diversified financial structure composed of corporate debt and proiect finance, which, considers among other factors, financing cost, project ownership and project currency liquidity.
Finally, EDPR uses a financial model to forecast liquidity risk in the medium and long term to meet strategic targets previously set (EBITDA, debt ratio and others).
The wind turbine generator (WTG) is a key element in the development of EDPR's wind-related energy projects, as the shortfall or an unexpected sharp increase in WTG prices can create a question mark on new project's development and profitability. WTG represents on average 70 to 80% of a wind farm's capital expenditure.
EDPR faces limited risk to the availability and price increase of WTG's due to the framework agreements with the major global wind turbines suppliers. The Company uses a large mix of turbines suppliers in order to diversify the wind turbine supply risk.
Wind farms are subject to strict regulations at different authority levels (international, national, state, regional and local) relating to the development, construction, grid interconnection and operation of power plants. Among other things, these laws regulate landscape and environmental aspects, building licenses, land use and land securing and access to the grid issues.
While level of exigency might be different depending on the geographies, we acknowledge a trend for legislations to align towards the most restrictive rules and development risks concentrating on the consenting (namely environmental and urbanistic aspects) and connection side.
In this context, the experience EDPR is able to gather in a certain country will be useful to anticipate and deal with future similar changes in other countries.
During the development and design phase. EDPR focuses on the optimization of its projects. By mastering the variables under our control, such as choice of locations, optimal layout, we intend to make our projects more resilient to an adverse external environment
EDPR mitigates this risk by generating optionality, by having development activities in 11 different countries (Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil) with a portfolio of projects in several stages of maturity. EDPR has a large pipeline located in the most attractive regions providing a "buffer" to overcome
potential delays in the development of new projects, ensuring growth targets and being able to compensate permitting delays in some geographies with development efforts in others.
Wind farm output depends upon the availability and operating performance of the equipment necessary to operate it, mainly the components of wind turbines and transformers. Therefore, the risk is that the performance of the turbine does not reach its optimum thus leading to lower than expected value.
EDPR mitigates this risk by using a mix of turbine suppliers which minimizes technological risk, by signing a mediumterm full-scope maintenance agreement with the turbine supplier and by an adequate preventive and scheduled maintenance program.
Most recently, EDPR is externalizing non core technical O&M activities of its wind farms, while primary and value added activities continue controlled by EDPR.

With the mechanisms set forth in the regulations, non-executive Directors have encountered no difficulties in performing their duties. In 2012. the non-executive Directors were involved in the governance of EDPR not only by participating in meetings of the Board of Directors, where they gave their opinions on different company matters, made any suggestions they saw fit, and took decisions on matters submitted to them, but also by working on the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, on the Related-Party Transactions Committee, and the Audit and Control Committee, where all the members are non-executive with the exception of the Related-Party Transactions Committee. which has one executive Director, Mr. Nuno Maria Pestana de Almeida Alves.
Annex IV of the Report gives a brief description of the Directors' professional and academic careers.
The positions held by the members of the Board in the last five (5) years, those that they currently hold, and positions in Group and non-Group companies are listed in Annexes I, II and III, respectively.
Also, the shares of EDPR owned by each Director are described in the table in Annex V.
Information as provided for in Chapters II.20. to II.23. of CMVM Regulation no. 1/2010 does not apply to EDPR. The governance model adopted by EDPR, as it is compatible with its personal law, corresponds to the so-called "Anglo-Saxon" model set forth in the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, in which the management body is a Board of Directors, and the supervision and control duties are of the responsibility of an Audit and Control Committee.

The Audit and Control Committee is responsible for proposing to the Board of Directors for submission to the General Shareholders' Meeting the nomination of the Company auditors, the terms of their contracts, scope of their duties, and revocation and renewal of their contracts.
In order to protect the External Auditor independence, the following competences of the Audit and Control Committee were exercised during 2011:
In 2012, according to the Audit and Control Committee's competences and in line with Recommendations II.4.4 and 11.4.5, it was the first and direct recipient and the corporate body in charge of the permanent contact with the external auditor on matters that may pose a risk to their independence and any other matters related to the auditing of accounts. It also receives and stores information on any other matters provided for in legislation on audits and in auditing standards in effect at any time.
The Audit and Control Committee assessed the performance of the external auditor in providing the services hired by the Company and made a positive evaluation of their quality, considering that they meet applicable standards and that it is advisable to maintain the same auditor.
The work of the external auditor, including reports and audits of its accounts, was supervised and evaluated in accordance with applicable rules and standards, in particular international auditing standards. The external auditor in coordination with the Audit and Control Committee verifies the implementation of remuneration policies and the efficiency and functioning of internal control mechanisms. The external auditor reports to the Audit and Control Committee all the shortcomings.
Information as provided for in Chapters II.25. to II.28. of CMVM Regulation no. 1/2010 does not apply to EDPR. The governance model adopted by EDPR, as it is compatible with its personal law, corresponds to the so-called "Anglo-Saxon" model set forth in the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, in which the management body is a Board of Directors, and the supervision and control duties are of the responsibility of an Audit and Control Committee.
This information is available on chapter II.30.
Pursuant to Article 26 of the Company's Articles of Association, the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors shall consist of a fixed amount to be determined by the General Shareholders Meeting for all the Directors and expenses for attending Board meetings.

In any case, the system chosen must be approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting and comply with current legal provisions.
The maximum remuneration approved by the General Shareholders Meeting in the previous fiscal year, for all the members of the Board of Directors was EUR 2,500,000.
Pursuant to Article 26.4 of the Company's Articles of Association, the rights and duties of any kind derived from the condition of Board Member shall be compatible with any other rights and obligations either fixed or variable that could correspond to the Board Members as a consequence of other employment or professional engagements, if any, carried out in the Company. Variable remuneration resulting from said contracts or from any other relationship, including being a Board Member, will be limited to a maximum annual amount to be established by the General Shareholders' Meeting.
The maximum remuneration approved by the General Shareholders Meeting for the variable remuneration for all the members of the Board of Directors was EUR 600,000 per year.

The Committee can also propose to the Board of Directors the terms of the contracts with the Directors. The distribution and exact amount paid to each Director, the frequency and other details of the remuneration shall be determined by the Board of Directors based on the proposal presented by the Nominations and Remunerations Committee.
Additionally, this Committee defines the variable remuneration to be attributed to the Directors, with the purpose that it reflects the performance of each of the members in each year of their term of office (variable annual remuneration), and also their performance during their term of office establishing a variable component which is consistent with the maximization of the Company's long term performance (variable multi-annual remuneration for a threeyear period}, thereby guaranteeing the alignment of the performance of the governing bodies with the interests of the shareholders.

For the period 2011-2013, it was decided to maintain the remuneration structure in terms of its components, as well as to keep the same nominal value of fixed annual component as the one in force during the 2009-2010 period, revising the KPI's (Kev Performance Indicators) for variable multi-annual and annual components.
The remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors for the year ended on December 315t 2012 was as follows:

No Director has entered into any contract with the company or third parties that have the effect of mitigating the risk inherent in the variability of the remuneration established by the company.

(*) The fees of Portugal regarding the inspection of the Internal Control System (SCIRF) includes the Spanish subsidiaries in Spain (EUR20,000) and of EDPR NA (EUR 20,000) , as their invoices were issued in this country.
In EDPR there is a policy of pre-approval by the Audit and Control Committee for the selection of the External Auditor and any related entity for non-audit services, according to Recommendation III.1.5 of the Portuguese Corporate Governance Code. This policy was strictly followed during 2012.
The services, other than auditing services, provided to the Company by the External Auditor and entities in a holding relationship with or incorporated in the same network as the External Auditor were previously approved by the Audit Committee, upon review of each specific service, which considered the following aspects: (i) such services having no effect on the independence of the External Auditor and any safeguards used; and (ii) the position of the External Auditor in the provision of such services, notably the External Auditor's experience and knowledge of the Company.
Furthermore, although hiring services other than auditing services to the External Auditor is admissible, it is envisaged as an exception. In this way, as referred to above, in 2012 such services reached only around 5% of the total amount of services provided to the Company.
In order to safeguard the independence of the External Auditors, the following powers of the Audit Committee were exercised during the 2012 financial year and should be highlighted:
· Nominate and hire the External Auditors and responsibility for establishing their remuneration as well as pre-approval of any services to be hired from the External Auditors;
· Direct and exclusive supervision by the Audit Committee;
· Assessment of the qualifications, independence, and performance of the External Auditors, and obtaining, yearly and directly from the External Auditors, written information on all relations existing between the Company and the Auditors or associated persons, including all services rendered and all services in progress; in fact, the Audit Committee, in order to evaluate independence, obtained from the External Auditors information on their independence in light of article 62B of Decree-Law no. 224/2008 of 20 November 2008, which amends the articles of association of the Chartered Accountant Professional Association:
· Review of the transparency report, signed by the Auditor and disclosed at its website. This report covers the matters provided for under article 62A of Decree-Law no. 224/2008, including those regarding the quality control internal system of the audit firm and the quality control procedures carried out by the competent authorities;
· Definition of the Company's hiring policy concerning persons who have worked or currently work with the External Auditors:
· Review, with the External Auditors, of the scope, planning, and resources to be used in their services;
· Responsibility for the settlement of any differences between the Executive Committee and the External Auditors concerning financial information.
Within this context, it should be particularly stressed that External Auditor independence was safeguarded by the implementation of the Company's policy on pre-approval of the services to be hired to External Auditors (or any entity in a holding relationship with or incorporating the same network as the External Auditors), which results from the application of the rules issued by SEC on this matter. According to such policy, the Audit Committee makes an overall pre-approval of the services proposal made by the External Auditors and a specific pre-approval of other services that will eventually be provided by the External Auditors, particularly tax consultancy services and services other than "audit and audit related" services.
EDPR's External Auditor is, since the year 2007, KPMG Auditores S.L.. The external auditor is currently in its second mandate of three years, therefore there is still no need to rotate the auditor according to Recommendation III.1.3 of the Portuguese Corporate Governance Code.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012

KPMG Auditores S.L. Ventura Rodríguez, 2 33004 Oviedo
To the Board of Directors EDP Renováveis, S.A.
Further to your request and to our engagement letter dated 4 June 2012, we have audited the system of internal control over financial reporting of EDP Renováveis, S.A. (the Company) and subsidiaries (the Group) at 31 December 2012, based on the criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in relation with global business and control procedures, and with the COBIT Framework for IT Governance and Control. The Board of Directors of the Company and senior Group management are responsible for adopting the measures required to reasonably guarantee the implementation, maintenance and supervision of an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, assess its efficiency and make improvements to the system, as set forth in the report drawn up by Group management on the internal control over financial reporting system enclosed. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control over financial reporting system based on our audit.
An organisation's system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance that its annual financial reporting complies with the applicable financial reporting framework. It includes policies and procedures that are aimed at: (i) verifying the existence and maintenance of records that present fairly and in reasonable detail the Group's transactions and assets; (ii) providing reasonable assurance that transactions are adequately recorded so as to allow the Group to draw up consolidated annual accounts in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework; and (iii) providing reasonable assurance regarding the timely prevention or detection of asset additions or disposals or unauthorised use of Group assets that might have a material effect on the consolidated annual accounts. Due to the limitations inherent in any form of internal control system, irrespective of the quality of the design and operation of the internal control system adopted for annual financial reporting, this system can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance as to the objectives sought.
We have performed our audit in accordance with ISAE 3000 (International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000). This standard requires that we plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Group system of internal control over financial reporting is effective in all material aspects. Our audit included our gaining an understanding of the Group's internal control over the financial reporting system, verifying and evaluating, on a selective test basis, the design and operating efficiency of the system, and performing other procedures that we considered necessary under the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
Reg. Mer Madrid, T. 11.961, F. 90
Sec. 8, H. M -188.007, Inscrip. 9 N.LE B-78510153
Due to the limitations inherent in any form of internal control system, there is always the possibility that internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect the errors or irregularities that might arise, whether due to errors in judgement, human error, fraud or malpractice. Extrapolating the effectiveness assessment to future years entails a risk that controls may cease to be adequate due to changing conditions or erosion in the levels of compliance with policies and procedures.
In our opinion, the Group's system of internal control for financial reporting at 31 December 2012 is effective in all material aspects, according to the criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in relation with global business and control procedures and the COBIT Framework for IT Governance and Control.
On 27 February 2013, in accordance with prevailing accounting legislation in Spain, we issued our audit report on the consolidated annual accounts of the Group for 2012, expressing an unqualified opinion thereon.
This report has been issued in accordance with your request. We accept no liability to any third parties other than the intended recipients of this report.

The board of directors and management are responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting (SCIRF).
The SCIRF of EDP Renováveis Group is a set of processes designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial information and the preparation of the consolidated annual accounts for external purposes, in accordance with the applicable financial information reporting framework.
Due to the limitations inherent to all internal control systems, it is possible that the system of internal control over financial reporting does not prevent or detect all errors that could occur and may only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the presentation and preparation of the consolidated annual accounts. Furthermore, extrapolating the effectiveness assessment to future years entails a risk that controls may cease to be adequate due to changing conditions or erosion in the level of compliance with policies and procedures.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the SCIRF at 31 December 2012 based on the criteria established in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
As a result of this assessment, and based on the aforementioned criteria, management concludes that at 31 December 2012 EDP Renováveis Group had an effective system of internal control over financial reporting.
The SCIRF of EDP Renováveis Group at 31 December 2012 has been audited by the independent auditors KPMG Auditores, S.L., as indicated in their report included in the Annual Corporate Governance Report.

Additionally, through its interest in ENEOP- Eólicas de Portugal, S.A. is attributable to EDPR - equity consolidated - 390 MW (326 MW as at 31 December 2011)
The Electrical Sector in Spain is regulated by Law 54 of 27 November 1997 and subsequent amendments to legislation. On May 2007, the Spanish Government approved a Royal Decree (RD 661/2007) implementing the new regulatory framework for wind energy installations to be built from 2008 to 2012, and to which all operating assets would be exposed after 31 December 2012.
According to Royal Decree 661 of 25 May 2007, wind farms are entilled to choose between two remuneration schemes: (I) Fixed tariff and iii) market plus premium: wind farms receive each hour the pool price plus a variable premium. Once the decision between the two schemes has been made for a specific wind for, at least, one year. Wind farms installed before January 2008 are ruled by Royal Decree 661/2007 transitory regime, which in fact is similar to previous Royal Decree 436/2004. Under his transitory regime, that ends in December 2012, wind farms could choose between a fixed tariff and a market price plus a fixed premium.
On July 2010, the Industry Ministry established an agreement with two key renewable energy associations (the Spanish Wind Energy Association and Protermosolar) to amend the existing regulation. This agreement means the RD 1614/2010 of 7 December, that defines (i) a cut, for the years 2011 and 2012, of 35% of the renewable premium applicable to the wind capacity ruled by RD 661/2007, (II) an amendment to the article 44.3 of RD 661/2007 claritying that future revisions to the premium value would only be appacity that comes on line after 2012 and liji the definition of a limit of 2,589 hours of installed capacity operation, from has no right to receive any premium if overall system equivalent hours is above 2,300 hours. The premium will be recovered from 2013 onwards.
On 28 January 2012 the Spanish Government enacted Royal-Decree Law 1/2012 that approves a temporary suspension of the premium remuneration for renewable energy capacity not included in the pre-assignation registry. Although in practice, it does not affect the assets of EDP Renováveis.
On December 2012, by means of Law15/2012 of 27 December, the Spanish Government approved 7% across-the-board tax on electricity generation, as well as new taxes on nuclear and large-scale hydropower, plus a new carbon levy. The tax will be applied from 2013 onwards.
The Portuguese legal provisions applicable to the generation of electrical power based on renewable resources are currently established by Decree-Law No. 189/88 dated 27 May, as amended by Decree-Law No. 168/99 dated 18 May, Decree-Law No. 312/2001 dated 10 December , and Decree-Law No. 339-C/2001 dated 29 December. Also relevant is Decree-Law No. 33-A/2005, dated 16 February ('DL 33-A/2005"), which establishes the current amounts used in the remula applicable to energy produced by means of renewable resources and the deadlines for the application of such remuneration formula.
The Portuguese wind sector and the Portuguese Government in principles that maintains the legal stability of he current contracts (Decree-Law 33-A/2005) and protects the value of the wind energy developers in the Portuguese economy. The wind farm operators can voluntarily invest to obtain further remuneration visibility, through the new tarif scheme to be applied upon the initial 15 years established by law. The overall costs of the Portuguese electricity system. In order to maximise of wind developers that voluntarily adheres to the extension of the remuneration framework the Government proposed four alternes to be elected by each of the wind developers, that include the following conditions: i) alternative cap and floor selling prices; il allernative durations to the nitial 15 years of the current contracts; and consequently iii) alternative levels of investment (on a per MW basis) to acquire the new scheme. EDPR has chosen a 7-year extension of the tariff defined as the average market price of previous twelve months, with a floor of 74€/MWh values growing with inflation from 2021 onwards, in exchange of a payment of 5.800€/MW from 2013 to 2020.
The electricity industry in France is governed primarily by Act 2000-108 (amended by Acts 2004-803 and 2006-1537) ("Act 2000), passed on 10 February 2000, which governs the modernization and development of public energy services and is the framework for the operation of wind facilities in France.
Act 2000 provides that, operator of wind facilities may enter into long-term agreements for the purchase and sale of energy with Electricité de France (EDF). The tariffs are set by Order of July 10, 2006 which was repealed in August 2008 due to formal defect in its approval, and then republished without any amendment in December 2008. The tariffs are the first ten years of the EDF Agreement, EDF pays a fixed annual tariff, which is €82 per MWh for applications made during 2006 (tariff is amended annually based, in part, on a inflation-related index) iil During years 11 to 15 of the EDF Agreement, the tariff is based on the annual average of energy produced during the wind facility s first ten years. These tariffs are also amended annually, based, in part, on a inflation-related index. iii) Beginning in the year 16, there is no specific support structure and the wind energy generators will sell their price.
On March 2012, the legality of the 2008 feed-in tariff ministerial order for wind farm projects was questioned before the French Council of State (Conseil dEtat) on the basis that the required notification to the European Commission on 15 May, the French Council of State decided to raise the issue for a preliminary ruling before the EU Court of Justice (is expected 12 to 18 months to solve). In the event that the tariff is finally cancelled, the French government of State the postponement of this eventual ruling until 2013 onwards, thus, no retroactive effects are expected.
The United States federal governments have implemented policies designed to promote the growth of renewable energy, including wind power. The primary federal renewable energy incentive program is the Production Tax Credit (PTC), which was established by the U.S. Congress as part of 1992 EPACT. Additionally, many states have passed legislation, principally in the form of renewable portfolio standards ("RPS"), which require utilities to purchase of their energy supply from renewable sources, similar to the Renewable Energy Directive in the EU.
On 1 January 2013, the US Congress approved "the American Taxpayer Relief Act" that included an extension of the PTC for wind, including the possibility of a 30% Investment Tax Credit instead of the PTC. Congress set a new expiration date of 31 December the qualification criteria (projects can now qualify as long as they are under construction by year-end 2013). The legislation also includes a depreciation bonus on new equipment placed in service which allows depreciation of a higher percentage of the project lless 50% of the ITC) in the year that it is placed in service. This bonus depreciation was 100% in 2012.
The legislation applicable to renewable energy in Polained in an Energy Act passed on 10 April 1997, which has been amended by the Act of 24 July 2002 and the Energy Act of 2 April 2004, which came into effect in January 2005 (together, the "Energy Ad").
Pursuant to the Energy Act, power generation from renewable sources is supported. The following are forms of such support introduced in Poland: (I) A system of obligatory purchase of origin by the generation companies and trading companies selling electricity to the end user interconnected to a grid in Poland. These power companies are obliged to: a) oblain a certificate or origin and submit it the ERA President for cancellation, or b) pay a substitute fee calculated in accordance with the Energy Act. ii) f the power company does not purchase certificates or origin or does not pay a substitute fee, the ERA President will penalize such company by the financial penalty calculated in accordance with the Energy Act.
The regulatory framework for electricity in Belgium is condition of powers between the federal and the three regional entities: Wallonia, Flanders and Brussels-Capital. The federal regulatory field of competence includes electricity transmission levels above 70 kV, generation, tariffs, planning and nuclear energy. The relevant federal legislation is the Electricity Act of 29 April 1999 (as modified) (the "Electricity Act"). The regional regulatory entitles ore responsible for distribution, renewable energy and cogeneration (with the exception of offshore power plants) and energy efficiency. The relevant regional legislation, respectively, is: (a) for Flanders, the Electricity Decree of 7 July 2000; (b) for Wallonia, the Regional Electricity Market Decree of 12 April 2001; and (c) for Brussels-Capital, the Order of 19 July 2001 on the Organization of the Electricity Market.
The Belgian requiratory system promotes the generation of electricity from renewable sources (and cogeneration) by a system of green certificates (each a "GC"), as described below. The Belgian federal government is responsible for offshore power plants and for imposing obligations on the transmission system operators. The various GC systems are three regions and are similar be the GC system for federally-regulated offshore power plants. There are currently differences in terms of quotas, fines and thresholds for granting GCs.
On 21 March 2012, Walloon government approved a decree which fixes the quotas of GC unill 2020. The new quotas are: (i) 19.4% in 2013; iii 23.1% in 2014; iii) 26.7% in 2016. For the period from 1 January 2017 unil 31 December 2019, the yearly quotas will at the latest be fixed in 2014 on the basis of an evaluation carried out beforehand by the energy regulator of Wallonia (CWaPE).
A new tax for wind generators has been approved in Wallonia last July. According to this regulation, all generators earning green certificates shall pay 0,54€/MWh. The energy regulator of Wallonia (CWaPE) will be the beneficiary of this tax, supporting the costs originated by green certificates management.
The promotion of electricity generated from renewable energy sources in Romania was set with the Electricity Law 318/2003. In 2005 a Green Certificate mechanism was introduced with mandatory quotas for suppliers, in order to comply with their EU renewable requirements.The regulatory authority establishes a fixed quota of electricity produced from RES which suppliers are obliges to by, and, annually reviews applications form green generators in order to be awarded green certificates. Law 220/2008 of November, introduced some changes in the green certificates system. In allows wind generators to receive 20C/MWh unil 2015 . From 2016 onwards generators receive 1 green certificate for each MWh . The price of electricity market and the price of green certificates is determined on a separate market.
The trading value of green certificates has a floor of 27€ and a cap of 55€, both indexed to Romanian inflation. Law 220/2008 also guarantees the access to the National Grid for the electricity produced from renewable sources.
Law 220/2008 on renewable energy was amended by the Emergency Order 88/2011. A key aspect of this amendment was the overcompensation andysis which must be carried out on a yearly basis. ANRE shall monitor the producers benefting from the support system and prepare annual reports on this regard. If overcompensation is found, ANRE will propose a reduction of the applicability period of the support scheme or the number of GCs initially granted to the technology. This reduction would be applied only to new plants.
Law 123/2012 of 19 July 2012 on Electricity and Natural Gas eliminates the provision of bilateral contracts not publicly negotiated as a mean to sale electricity. Thus, trading of electricity must be carried out on a centralized market. On 4 September 2012, ANRE published the Order on Balancing Market. The new regulation has an impact for wind generation. On the one side, it states that for the energy reduced, the producer does not have the right to claim compensations for the loss of unproduced green certificates. This loss cannot be recovered. Also, new rules could result on larger balancing costs as the deficit price that wind generators have to face when the forecast may increase.
On 6 July 2012, the Government approved the new renewable regulation by means of the Decree on Renewables (DM FER) based on feedin-tariff support scheme. The key aspects of the new regulation provided by the DM FER are the following: \$J Wind farms over 5 MW will be remunerated under a feed-in tariff scheme defined by tendered is set in different technologies' capacity poths (only set unill 2015); (iii) the reference tariff for 2013 is 127 €/MWh for onshore wind. Tender participants on a reference tariff (in %);liv) The reference tariff will decrease 2% per year and will be granted for the whole average useful life of the renewable plant -20 years for onshore wind.
The new system subsitives the previous one based on GCs. Under the previous system producers obtain their revenues from the sale of the electricity in the electricity market and from the sale of G.S. Wind farms built until December 2012 (with some exceptions) will continue to operate under the previous system until 2015 when the GC system will be transformed into a feed-in-premium.
The Electrical Sector in Brazil is regulated by Federal Law nº 8,987 of 13 February 1995, which generally rules the concession and permission regime of public services; Law nº 9,074 of 7 July 1995, which rules the grant and extension or permission contracts; Federal Law nº 10,438 of 26 April 2002, which governs the increase in Emergency Electric Power Supply and creates the 3,300 MW Program of Incentives for Alternative Electricity Sources (PRONFA); Federal Law nº 10,762 of 11 November 2003 and Law nº 10,848 of 15 March 2004, concerning commercial rules for the trade of Electric Power and; Subsequent amendments to the legislation.
The Decree nº 5,025 of 30 March 2004, regulates the "Alternative "Alternative Energy Sources" economical and legal framework. PRONFA participants have granted a PPA with ELETROBRAS, and are subject to the regulator (ANEEL) authority. However, the first stage of PROINFA has ended and the second stage is highly uncertain.
After PROINFA program, renewable producers obtain their remuneration in auctions where price is the only criteria. Winners of the auctions obtain a PPA contract at the price bid. Public Electricity Auctions are technically lead by the state "Energy Planning and Research Company" (EPE), who registers, analyses and allows potential participants.
The accompanying consolidated annual accounts have been prepared on the basis of the accounting records of EDP Renovavis, S.A. and consolidated entities. The consolidated financial statements for 2012 and 2011 have been prepared to present fairly the consolidated equity and consolidated financial position of EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries at 31 December 2012 and 2011, the consolidated results of operations, consolidated cash flows and changes in consolidated equity for the years then ended.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 of 19 July 2002, from the European Council and Parliament, the Group's consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International First, as endorsed by the European Union (EU). IFRS comprise accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and its predecessor body as well as interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and its predecessor bodies.
The Board of Directors approved these consolidated annual accounts on 28 February 2013. The annual accounts are presented in thousands of Euros, rounded to the nearest thousand.
The annual accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention of fair value basis for derivative financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities held for trading and available-for-sale, except those for which a reliable measure of fair value is not available
The preparation of financial statements in accordance with the IFRS-EU requires to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and related assumplions are based on historical experience and other factors considered reasonable in accordance with the circumstances. They form the basis for making the values of the assets and liabilities whose valuation is not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these stimates. The areas involving the highest or complexity, or for which the assumptions and estimates are considered significant, are disclosed in Note 3 (Critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies).
Prior to 2012, amounts included in transaction costs related to institutional partnerships were included as a component of non-current Other debtors and other asses. In 2012, EDP Group included these transaction of Institutional partnerships in USA wind forms instead of an asset. For consistency purposes, this presentation has been applied to all statements of financial position presented (see note 32)
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial states are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the noncontrolling interests to have a deficit balance.
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognised initially at cost of the investment includes transaction costs.
The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the comprehensive income, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity-accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term investments, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
Joinly controlled entities, consolidated under the proportionate consolidation method, are entities the Group has joint control along with another company, under a contractual agreement. The consolidated financial statements include the Group's proportionate share of the joint ventures' assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, from the date the introl begins until it eases.
From 1 January 2010 the Group has applied IFRS 3 Business Combing for business combinations. The change in accounting policy has been applied prospectively and has had no material impact on earnings per share.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable.
For acquisitions on or after 1 January 2010, the Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:
When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss.
Costs related to the acquisition, other than those of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Any contingent consideration payable is recognisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity. it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the for value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.
Some business combinations in the period have been determined provisionally as the Group is currently in the process of measuring the fair value of the net assets acquired. The identifiable net asses have therefore initially been recognised at their provisional value. Adjustments during the measurement period have been recorded as if they had been known at the combination and comparative information for the prior year has been restated where applicable. Adjustments to provisional values only include information releting to events and circumstances existing at the acquisition date and which, had they been known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date.
After that period, adjustments to initial measurement are only made to correct an error.
In business combinations achieved in stages, any excess of the consideration given, plus the interest previously held in the acquiree, and the net assets acquired and net liabilities assumed is recognised as goodwill. Any shortfall, after measuring the consideration given to the previously held interest and identifying and measuring the net assets acquired in profit and loss. The Group recognises the difference between the fair value of the acquiree and its carrying amount in consolidated profi and loss, based on the classification of the interest. The Group also reclassifies amounts deferred in celation to the previously held interest to profit and loss or consolidated reserves, based on their nature.
For acquisitions between 1 January 2004 and 1 January 2010, goodwill represents the cost of the acquisition over the Group's interest in the recognised amount (generally for value) of the identifiable assets, liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess was negative, a bargain purchase gain was recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurred in connection with business combinations were capitalised as part of the cost of the acquisition.
From 1 January 2010 the Group has applied IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (2008) in accounting for acquisitions of non-controlling interests. The change in accounting polied prospectively and has had no impact on earnings per share.
Under the new accounting policy, acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognised as a result of such transactions. The adjustments to non-controlling interests are bosed on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary.
Previously, goodwill was recognised on the acquisition of non-controlling interests in a subsidiary, which represented the excess of the cost of the additional investment over the carrying amount of the interest in the net assets acquired at the transaction.
The assess and liabilities of foreign operations in ralve adjustments arising on acquisition, are transited to Euro at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and experses of foreign operations, are translated to euro at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in other in the translation reserve. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the translation reserved to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal.
When the settlement of a monetary item or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equily.
Inter-company balances and transactions, including any unrealised gains and losses on transactions between group companies, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unreclised gains and losses arising from transactions with associates and jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in those entities.
The accounting for transactions among entitles under common control is excluded from IFRS 3. Consequently, in the absence of specific guidance, within IFRSs, the EDP Renovaved an accounting policy for such transactions, as considered appropriate. According to the Group's policy, business combinations among entities under common control are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the EDP consolidated book values of the acquired company (subgroup). The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets received and the consideration paid, is recognised in equity.
IFRS-EU did not establish specific accounting treatment for commitments related to written put options related with investments in subsidiaries held by non-controlling interests at the date of acquisition of a business combination. Nevertheles Group records these written put options at the date of acquisition or at a subsequent date as an advance acquisition of these interests, recording a financial liability for the best estimate of the amount payable, irrespective of the estimated probability that the options will be exercised. The difference between this amount corresponding to the percentage of the interests held in the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
Until 31 December 2009, in years subsequent to initial recognition, the changes in the effect of the financial discount are recognised as a financial expense in the consolidated income statement, and the remaining changes are recognised as an adjustment to the cost of the business combination. Where applicable, dividends paid to minority shareholders up to the date the options are exercised are also recorded as adjustments to the business combination. In the event that the options are not exercised, the transaction would be recorded as a sale of interests to minority shareholders.
As from January 2010, the Group applies IAS 27 (2008) to new put options related to non-controlling interests and there subsequent changes in the carrying amount of the put liability are recognised in profit or loss.
Transactions in foreign currencies are transional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are refransional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amoritied cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the fair value was deternined. Foreign currency differences arising on refransidion are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments, a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation, or qualifying cash flow hedges, which are recognised in other comprehensive income. Nor-monetary items of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
Derivative financial instruments are recognised on the tade date at fair value of derivalive financial instruments is re-measured on a regular basis, being the gains or losses on re-measurement recognised directly in the income statement, except for derivatives designated as hedging instruments. The resulting gains or losses on re-measurement of the derivalives designated as hedging instruments depends on the nature of the risk being hedged and of the hedge model used.
The fair value of derivatives correspond to their prices as provided by an exchange, or is determined by using net present value techniques, including discounted cash flows models and option pricing models, as appropriate.
The Group uses financial instruments to herest and foreign exchange risks resulting from its operational and financing activities. The derivate financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded as for trading.
Notes to the Consolidated Annual Accounts for the years ended 31 December 2012 and 2011
The derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments are recorded at fair value, being the gains and losses recognised in accordance with the hedge accounting model adopted by the Group. Hedge accounting is used when:
(i) At the inception of the hedge, the hedge relationship is identified and documented;
(ii) The hedge is expected to be highly effective;
(iii) The effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured;
liv) The hedge is revalued on a on-going basis and is considered to be highly effective over the reporting period; and
ly! The forecast transactions hedged and represent a risk to changes in cash flows that could affect the income statement.
Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below.
Changes in the fair value of the derivative finat are designated as hedging instruments are recorded in the income statement, together with any changes in the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the risk being hedged. If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the accumulated gains or losses concerning the risk being hedged are amortised over the period to maturity.
The effective portion of the changes in the derivative financial instruments that are designated as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge model is recognised in equity. The gains or losses relating to the hedging relationship are recognised in the income statement in the moment they occur.
The cumulative gains or losses recognised in equity are also reclassified to the periods in which the hedged tiem will affect the income statement. When the forecast transaction of a non-financial asset, the gains or losses recorded in equity are included in the acquisition cost of the asset.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity at that time stays recognised in equity until the hedged transaction also affects the income statement. When the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gains or losses recognized in the income statement
The net investment hedge is applied on a consolidated basis to investments in foreign currencies. The exchange differences recorded against exchange differences arising on consolidation are offset by the exchange differences arising from the foreign currency borrowings used for the acquisition of those subsidiaries. If the hedging instrument is a derivative, the gains or losses arising from fair value changes are also recorded against exchange differences arising on consolidation. The ineffective portion of the hedging relation is recognised in the income statement.
The Group classifies its other financial assets at acquisition date in the following categories:
Loans and receivable are initially recognised at their fair value and subsequently are measured at amortised cost less impairment losses.
Impairment losses are recorded based on the valuation of estimated losses from non-collection of he balance sheet date. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement, and can be reversed if the estimated losses decrease in a Ider period.
This category includes: (j) financial assets held for trading, which are those acquired principally for the short term and (ii) financial assets that are designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception.
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial as available-for-sale and that are not classified in any of the other categories. The Group's investments in equity securities are classified as available-for-sale financial assels.
Purchases and sales of: (i) financial assets at fij) available for sale investments, are recognised on trade date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the assets.
Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for value through proft or loss, in which case these transaction costs are directly recognised in the income statement.
Financial assels are derecognised when (i) the contractual rights to receive their cash flows have expired, (ii) the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership or (iii) although retaining some, but not substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership, the Group has transferred the control over the assets.
After intid recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value and gains and losses arising from changes in their fair value are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.
Available for sale financial assets are also subsequently carried at for value, however, agins and from changes in their fair value are recognised directly in equity, until the financial assets are derecognised or impaired, being the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in equity recognised in the inchange differences arising from equity investments classified as available for sale are also recognised in equily. Interest rate method and dividends, are recognised in the income statement.
The fair values on quoted investments in active markets are based on current bid prices. For unlisted securities the fair value through (i) valuation techniques, including the use of recent arm's length transactions or discounted cash flow andysis and (ii) valuation assumptions based on market information.
Financial instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at cost.
The Group does not reclassify, after initial recognifies or out of the fair value through profit or loss category.
At each balance sheet date an assessment is performed as to whether of impairment, namely those resulting in an adverse effect on estimated future of the financial asset or group of financial assets, and every time it can be reliably measured
If there is objective evidence of impairment, the financial asset is determined, and the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.
A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairments a result of one or more events that occurred after their initial recognition, such as (i) in the case of listed securities, a significant or prolonged decline in the listed price of the security, and fili in the case of unlised securities, when that events) has an impact on the future cash hows of the financial asset or group of financial assets, that can be reliably estimated.
Evaluating the existence of objective evidence of impairment, in which case the Group considers, among other factors, price volatility and current economic situation. Thus, when listed securities are concerned, it is considered as coninuous a devaluation in the listed price of the security for a period over 24 months and as significant a devaluation of the security's value above 40%.
If there is objective evidence of impairments, the cumulative potential loss recognised in fair values reserves, corresponding to the difference between the fair value at the bolance sheet date, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the income statement, is transferred to the income statement.
For debt instruments, if in a subsequent period the impairment loss decreases, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the income statement up to the acquisition cost, if the increase is objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. In the case of equity instruments, impairment losses can not be reversed and any subsequent agin in fair value is recognised in equity under fair value reserves.
An instrument is classified as a financial liability when it contractual obligation to transfer cash or another financial asset, independently from its legal form. These financial li initially at fair value less transaction costs and (i) subsequently at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
The Group derecognises the whole or part of a financial liability when the obligations included in the been satisfied or the Group is legally released of the fundamental obligation related to this liability either through a legal process or by the creditor.
The Group considers that the terms are substantially different if the current value of cash flows discounted under the new terms, including any commission paid net of any commission received, and using the original effective interest rate to make the discount, differs by at least 10% of the current discounted value of cash flows remaining from the original financial liability.
If the exchange is recognised as a cancellation of the original financial liability, costs or commissions are taken to the consolidated income statement. Otherwise, costs or commissions adjust the liability and are amorised following the amortised cost method over the remaining term of the modified liability.
The Group recognises the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability which has been cancelled or transferred to a third party) and the consideration paid, which includes any asset transferred other than cash or the liability assumed, with a debit or credit to the consolidated income statement.
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of assets are capitalised as part of the assets. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of firs intended use or sale. To the extent that funds are borrowed generally, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation are determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on these assets. The copitalisation rate corresponds to the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the enterprise that are outstanding the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. The amount of borrowing costs capitalised during a period does not exceed the arrowing costs incurred during the period.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when expenditures for the asset are being incurred borrowing costs have been incurred and activities necessary to prepare all or part of their intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying assets for their intended use or sale are completed. Capitalisation of borrowing costs shall be suspended during extended periods in which active development is interrupted.
Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the site on which they are located. Cost also may include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of froperty, plant and equipment. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
The cost of acquisition includes interest on external financing and personnel costs and other internal princiredly related to work in progress accrued solely during the period of construction is capitalised by charging costs attributable to the asset as own work capitalised under financial expenses and employee benefit expense in the consolidated income statement.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent costs are recognised as separate assets only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group. All repair and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
The Group assesses assets imparment, whenever events or circumstances may indicate that the book value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the impairment being recognised in the income statement.
The recoverable amount is deternined by the highest value between the net selling price and its fair ralculated by the present value of estimated future cash-flows obtained from the asset and after its disposal at the end of its economic useful life.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on the other assets is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Number of years | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Buildings and other constructions | 20 to 33 | ||
| Plant and machinery | |||
| Wind farm generation | 25 | ||
| Hydroelectric generation | 20 to 30 | ||
| Other plant and machinery | 15 to 40 | ||
| Transport equipment | 3 to 10 | ||
| Office equipment and tools | 3 to 10 | ||
| Other tangible fixed assets | 4 to 10 |
In the second quarter of 2011 EDPR Group, based on a study performed by an independent entity, has changed the useful life of the wind farms from 20 to 25 years, with effect from 1 April 2011 (see note 3).
The other intangible assets of the Group are booked at acquisition and imprisation and impairnent losses. The Group does not own intangible assets with indefinite lives.
The Group assesses for impairment, whenever events or circumstances may indicate that the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the imparment being recognised in the income statement. The recoverable value is determined by the highest anount between its net selling price and its value in use, this being calculated by the estimated future cash-flows obtained from the asset and sale price at the end of its economic useful life.
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised on the basis of their expected useful lives.
Costs that are directly associated with the development of ications by the Group, and that will probably generate economic benefits beyond one year, are recognised as intangible assets. These costs include employee costs directly associated with the development of the referred software and are amortised using the method during their expected useful lives.
Maintenance costs of software are charged to the income statement when incurred.
The amortisation of industrial properly and other rights is calculated using the straight-line method for an expected of less than 6 years.
The carrying amounts of the Group's non-finan inventories and deferred tox assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to delermine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the assets recoverable amount is then estimated. For goodwill the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assels that generalinuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assels the "cash-generating unit"). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or losses recognised in respect of cash-generating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the unit (group of units) on a pro-rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment in there has been a change in circumstances that cased the impairment. An impairment loss is reversed only to the assets carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
The Group classifies its lease agreements as finance leases taking into consideration the substance of the transaction rather than its legal form. A lease is classified as a finance lease substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Lease payments are recognised as an expense and charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate.
Inventories are stated at the lower of the acquisition cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories includes purchases, conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the invesent location and condition. The net readisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated selling costs.
The cost of inventories is assigned by using the weighted average method.
The Group classifies assets and liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position as current. Current assets and liabilities are determined as follows:
Assets are classified as current when they are expected to are intended for sale or consumption in the Group's normal operating cycle, they are held primarily for the purpose of trading, they are expected to be realised within twelve months of the balance sheet date or are cash or a cash equivalent, unless the assets may not be exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months from the balance sheet date
liabilities are classified as current when the settled in the Group's normal operating cycle, they are held primarily for the purpose of trading, they are due to be settled within twelve months of the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Financial liabilities are classified as current when they are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, even if the original term was for a period longer than twelve months, and an agreement to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorised for issue.
EDP Renováveis Portugal, one of the portuguese companies Group attribute post-refirement plans to their employees under defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans that pay complementary old-age, disability and surviving-relative pension complements, as well as early retirement pensions.
In Portugal, the defined benefits plan is finals a restricted Pension Fund complemented by a specific provision. This Pension Fund covers liabilities for retirement pension complements as well as liabilities for early retirement.
The pension plans of the Group companies in Portugal are classified as defined benefit plans, since the criteria to determine the pension benefit to be received by employees on refirement is predelined and usually depend on factors such as a level of salary at the age of retirement.
The liability of the Group with pensions is calculated annually, at the balance sheet plan individually, by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The discount rate used in this calculation is determined by reference of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liabilities.
Actuarial gains and losses determined annually and resulting from (i) the differences between financial and actuarial used and real values obtained and lij) changes in the actuarial assumptions are recognised against equity, in accordance with the alternative method defined by IAS 19.
The increase in past service costs arising from early relirements before the normal age of relirement) is recognised in the income statement when incurred.
Annually the Group recognises as cost in the income statement the net amount of, (i) the interest cost, (ii) the interest cost, (ii) the estimated return of the fund assets and (iv) the cost arising from early retirements.
In Spain, Portugal and United States of America, some Group Companies have social benefit plans of defined contribution that complement those granted by the social welfare system to the companies employees, under which they pay a contribution to these plans each year, calculated in accordance with the rules established in delined contribution plans is recognised in the results in the period in which the contribution is made.
In Portugal some Group companies provide medical care during the period of relirement, through complementary benefits to those provided by the Social Welfare System. These medical care plans are classified benefi plans. The present value of the delined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date is recognised as a defined benefit and recognition of the liability with healthcare benefits is similar to the pension liability for the defined benefit plans, described above.
In accordance with the by-lows of certain Group entities, annually the shareholders approve in the annual general of profits to be paid to the employees (variable remuneration), following a proposal made by the Board of Directors. Payments to employees are recognised in the income statement in the period to which they relate.
Provisions are recognised when: (i) the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation, fij) it is probable that settlement will be required in the future and (iii) a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.
The Group recognises dismantling and decommissioning provisions for property, plant and equipment when a legal or contractual obligation is settled to dismantling those assets at the end of their useful life. Consequently, the Group has booked provisions for property, plant and equipment related with wind turbines, for the expected cost of restoring sites and land to its original condition. The provisions correspond to the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation and are recognised as part of the initial cost or an adjustment to the respective asset, being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset useful life.
| EDPR EU | EDPR NA | |
|---|---|---|
| Average cost per MW (Euros) | 14.000 | 18,549 |
| Salvage value per MW (Euros) | 25,000 | 17.776 |
| Discount rate | 6.33% | 5.38% |
| Inflation rate | 2.00% | 2.50% |
| Capitalisation (number of years) | 25 | 25 |
With the change of the useful life of the wind forms (see note 2 h) the capitalisation rate (number of years) of the dismantling and decommissioning provisions has changed to 25 years, with a prospective application from 1 April 2011.
Decommissioning and dismantling provisions are remeasured on the best estimate of the settlement anount. The unwinding of the discount at each balance sheet date is charged to the income statement.
Costs and revenues are recorded in they refer regardless of when paid or received, in accordance with the accrual concept. Differences between amounts received and the corresponding revenue and expenditure are recorded under other assets and other liabilities.
Revenue comprises the amounts invoiced on the sale of products or of value added tox, rebates and discounts, after elimination of intra-group sales.
Revenue from electricity sales is recognised in the period that electricity is generated and fransferred to customers.
Engineering revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract work, claims and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable that they will revenue and can be measured reliably. As soon as the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and expensed in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract.
Differences between estimated and actual amounts, which are normally not significant, are recorded during the subsequent periods.
Financial results include interest payable on funds invested, dividend income, unwinding of the discount of provisions and written put options to non-controlling interests, foreign exchange gains and losses on financial instruments and the accrual of tax equity estimated interest over outstanding liability.
Interest income is recognised in the income statement based on the effective interest rate method. Dividend in the income statement on the date the entity's right to receive payments is established.
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assess and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences. the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither or toxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries to the extent that it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it it reverse in the foreseable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the inifial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assels and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to victilities and assets, and they relate to income toxes levied by the some tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intent tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
Basic earnings per share are calculated by divibutable to equity holders of the parent company by the weighted werage number of ordinary shares outstanding the year, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Group and held as treasury stock.
Non-current assets or disposal groups of asses and related liabilities that include at least a non-current assel) are classified as held for sale when their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through sale and the assets or disposal groups are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable.
The Group also classifies as non-current assets or disposal groups acquired exclusively with a view to its subsequent disposal, that are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable.
Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the non-current assets on a liabilities in a disposal group, is adjusted in accordance with the applicable IFRS. Subsequently, these assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount at fair value less costs to sell.
Cash and cash equivalents include balances with maturity of less than three months from the balance sheet and deposits in banks. This caption also includes other short-lem, highly liquid investments that are readly convertible to known amounts of cash and specific demand deposits in relation to institutional partnerships that are funds required to be held in escrow sufficient to pay the remaining construction related costs of projects in institutional equity partnerships in U.S.A., in the next twelve months.
Government grants are recognised initially as defered income under non-current lidbilities when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group with the conditions associated with the grant. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss on the same periods in which the expenses are recognised.
The Group takes measures to prevent, reduce or repair the damage caused to the environment by its activities.
Expenses derived from environmental activities are recognised as other operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
The Group has entered in several parth institutional investors in the United States, through limited lidbilly company operating agreements that apportion the cash flows generated by the wind forms between the investors and the Company and allocates the tax benefits, which include Production Tax Credits (PTCs), Investment Tax Credits (ITC) and accelerated depreciation, largely to the investor.
The institutional investors purchase their minerests for an upfront cash payment with an agreed internal rate of return over the period that he tax credits are generated. This anticipated on the total anticipated benefit that the institutional investors will receive and includes the value of PTC's / TC's, allocated taxable income or loss and cash distributions received.
The control and management of these wind farms are a responsibility of EDPR Group and they are fully consolidated in these Financial Statements.
The upfront cash payment received is recognised under "Liabilities arising from institutional partnerships" and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
This liability is reduced by the value of tax benefits provided and cash distributions made to the institutional investors during the contracted period. The value of the tax benefits delivered, primarily acceleration and ITC are recognized as Income from institutional partnerships on a pro-rata basis over the 25 year useful life of the underlying projects (see note 7). The value of the PTC's delivered are recorded as generated.
After the Fip Date, the institutional investor relains a small non-controlling interest for the structure. The noncontrolling interest is entitled to cash distribution percentages varying from 2.5% to 6.0%, with the exception of Vento VI in which the institutional investor is allocated 17.0% of income. EDPR NA also has an option to purchase the institutional investor's residual interest at fair market value on the Flip Date for PTC fij structures and generally, six months after of the 5-year anniversary of final turbine commissioning date or the Flip Date, or ten years after the filp Date has not yet occured. The liability for residual interest is accreted on a straight line funding date through the Flip Date to reflect the institutional investors minority interest position in the EDPR Group at the Flip Date.
The liability with institutional investors is interest accrud that is based on the outstanding liability balance and the targeted internal rate of return agreed.
The International Financial Reporting Commitee (FRC) issued in July 2007, IFRC 12 - Service Concession Arrangements. This interpretation was approved by the European Commission on 25 March 2009 and is applicable for the annual periods beginning after that date. FRC 12 is applicable to the public-private concession which the public entity controls or regulates the services rendered through the utilisation of determined infrastructures as well as the price of these services and equally controls any significant residual interest in those infrastructures.
According to IFRIC 12, the infrastructures allocated to concessions are not recognised by the operator as financial leases, as the operator does not control the assets. These infrastructures are recognised according to one of the following accounting models, depending on the type of remuneration commitment of the grantor within the terms of the contract:
This model is applicable when the operator has an unconditional right to receive certain monetary amounts regardless of the level of use of the infrastructures within the concession and results in the recognition of a financial asset, booked at amoriised cost.
This model is applicable when the operator, within the concession, is remunerated on the basis of the infrastructures (demand risk) and results in the recognition of an intangible asset.
This model is applicable when the concession includes simultaneously guaranteed remuneration based on the level of use of the infrastructure within the concession.
Under the terms of the contracts in place throughout the Group business, the Management of EDPR concluded that IFRC 12 is not applicable.
The IFRS set forth a range of accounting the Board of Directors to apply judgment and make estimates in deciding which treatment is most appropriate.
The main accounting estimates and judgements used in applying the accounting policies are discussed in this noter to improve the understanding of how their application offects the Group's reported results and disclosures. A broader description of the accounting policies employed by the Group is disclosed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Although estimates are calculated by the Company's directors based on the best information available at 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011, future events may require changes to these estimates in subsequent years. Any effect on the financial statements of adjustments to be made in subsequent years would be recognised prospectively.
Considering that in many cases there are alternatives to the accounting treatment adopted by EDP Renovaveis, the Group's results could differ if a different treatment was chosen. EDP Renovaveis believes that the choices made are appropriate and that the financial statments are presented fairly, in all material results. The alternative outcomes discussed below are presented solely to assist the reader in understanding the financial statments and are not intendives or estimates would be more appropriate.
The Group determines that available for sale inpaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost
This deternination of what is significant or prolonged requires judgment, the Group evaluates among other factors, the normal volatility in share price. In additions are generally obtained through listed market prices or valuation models that may require assumptions or judgment in making estimates of fair value.
Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumption a higher level of impairment losses recognised with a consequent impact in the income statement of the Group.
Fair values are based on listed market prices, if available is determined either by dealer prices (both for that transaction or for similar instruments traded or by pricing models, based on net present value of estimated future which take into account market conditions for the underlying instruments, time value, yield curves and volatility factors. These pricing models may require assumptions or judgments in estimating fair values.
Consequently, the use of a different model or of different assumptions or judgments in applying a particular model may have produced different financial results for a particular period.
The Group regularly reviews the useful life of its electrical generation installations in order to bring it into line with the technical and economic measurements of the installations, taking into consideration their technological capacity and presticitions.
In the second quarter of 2011 EDPR Group has changed the of the wind farms from 20 to 25 years (see note 2 h). The redelinition of the useful life of the wind generation assets was made based on a technical study performed by an independent entity which has considered the technical availability for an additional period of 5 years of useful life of these assets. The referred study has covered 95% of wind installed copacity of EDPR Group, in the different geographies (Evrope and North America), considering assumptions and essimates that requires judgements.
Impairment test are performed whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of property, plant, equipment and intangible assets is less than the corresponding net book value of assets.
Considering that estimated recoverable amounts related to propent, intangible asses and goodwill are based on the best information available, changes in the estimates and judgment test results which could affects the Group's reported results.
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisditions and estimates are required in delemining the alobal amount for income taxes.
There are many transactions and calculations for which the uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Different interpretations and estimates would result in a different level of income taxes, current and deferred, recognised in the period.
Tox Authorities are entitled to review the EDP Renovation of its subsidiaries' determination of its annual taxable earnings, for a determined period that may be extended in case there are tax losses carried forward. Therefore, it is possible that some additional taxes may be assessed, mainly as a result of differences in interpretation of the tax law. However, EDP Renovaveis and those of its subsidiaries, are confident that there will be no material tax assessments within the context of the financial statements.
The Board of Directors considers that Group has contractual obligations with the dismantling of property, plant and equipment related to wind electricity generation. For these responsibilities the Group has recorded cost of restoring sites and land to its original condition. The present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation.
The use of different assumptions in estimates and judgments referred may have produced different results from those that have been considered.
The businesses of EDP Renovaveis Group are exposed to a variety of the effects of thanges in market prices, foreign exchange and interest rates. The main financial risks lie essentially in its debt portfolio, arising from interest-rate and the exchange-rate exposures. The unpredictability of the financial man on-going basis in accordance with the EDPR's risk management policy. Financial instruments are used to minimize potential adverse effects resulting from the interest rates risks on EDP Renováveis financial performance.
The Board of Directors of EDP Renováveis is responsible for the definition of general risk-management principles and the establishment of exposure limits. The management of financial risks of EDP Renovaveis Group is outsourced to the Finance Department of EDP - Energias de Portugal, S.A., in accordance with the policies approved by the Board of Directors. The outsourcing service includes identification and evaluation of hedging mechanisms appropriate to each exposure.
All transactions undertaken using derivative financial instruments require the Board of Directors, which defines the parameters of each transaction and approves the formal documents describing their objectives.
EDP Group's Financial Department is responsible for managing the foreign exchange exposure of the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the net profits of the Group, using foreign exchange derivatives, foreign exchange debi and/or other hedging structures with symmetrical exposure characteristics to those of the effectiveness of these hedges is reassessed and monitored throughout their lives.
EDPR operates internationally and is exposed to the exchange-rate risk resulting from investments in foreign subsidiaries. With the objective of minimizing the impact of exchange rates fluctuations, EDP Renováveis general policy is to fund each project in the currency of the operating cash flows generated by the project.
Currently, the main currency exposure is the U.S. dollar, resulting in EDPR NA. With the increasing capacity in other geographies, EDPR is also becoming exposed to other currencies (Brazilian Real, Polish Zloty and Romanian Ley).
To hedge the risk originated with net investment in EDPR NA, EDP Renováveis entered into a CRS in USD/EUR with EDP Branch and also uses financial debt expressed in USD. Following the same strategy adopted to hese investments in USA, EDP Renovávels has also entered into two ClRS in BRVEUR and two in PLN/EUR to hedge the investments in Brazil and Poland (see note 36).
As a consequence a depreciation of 10% in the foreign currency exchange rate, with reference to 31 December 2012 and 2011, would originate an increase/in EDP Renováveis Group income statement and equity before taxes, as follows:

This analysis assumes that all other variables, namely interest rates, remain unchanged.
The Group's operating cash flows are substantially independent from the fluctuation in interest-rate markets.
The purpose of the interest-rate risk management policies is to reduce the exposure of debt cash flows to market fluctuations. As such, whenever considered necessary and in accordance to the Group contracts derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risks
In the floating-rate financing contracts interest-rate derivative financial instruments to hedge cash flows associated with future interest payments, which have the effect of converting floating rate loans into fixed rate loans.
All these hedges are undertaken on liabilities in the Group's debt portfolio and are mainly perfection between changes in fair value of the hedging instrument and changes in fair value of the interest-rate risk or upcoming cash flows.
The EDP Renováveis Group has a portfolio of interest-rate derivern 1 and 14 years. The Financial Department of EDP Group undertakes sensitivity analyses of the fair value of financial interest-rate fluctuations or upcoming cash flows.
About 92% of EDP Renováveis Group financial debt bear interest at fixed rates, including operations with financial instruments.
The management of interest rate risk associated to activities developed to the Financial Department of EDP Group, contracting derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk.
Based on the debt portfolio of the EDPR EU Group and the related derivative financial instruments used to hedge associated interest rate risk, as well as on the shareholder loans received by EDP Renovaveis, a change of 100 basis points in the interest rates with reference to 31 December 2012 and 31 December 2011 would increase/in EDP Renováveis Group income statement and equily before toxes, as follows:

The EDP Renovaveis Group policy in terms of the counterparty risk on financial transactions with companies outside EDP Group is managed by an analysis of the technical capacity, competitiveness, credit rating and exposure to each counterparties in derivatives and financial transactions are restricted to high-quality credit institutions or to the EDP Group.
The EDP Renováveis Group documents financial operations to international standards. Most derivative financial instruments contracted with credit institutions are engaged under ISDA Master Agreements.
In the specific case of the EDPR EU Group, credit risk is not significant due to the limited average collection period for customer balonces and the quality of its debtors. The Group's main customers and distributors in the energy market of their respective countries (OMEL and MEFF in the case of the Spanish market).
In the specific case of EDPR NA Group, credit risk is not significant due to the limited average collection period for customer balances and the quality of its debtors. The Group's main customers are regulated utility companies and regional market agents in the U.S.
EDP Renoviveis believes that the amount that best represents the Group's exposure to the carrying amount of Trade receivables and Other debtors, net of the impairment losses recognised. The Group believes that the creceivables is adequate and that no significant impaired credits exist that have not been recognised as such and provided for.
Liquidity risk is the possibility that the Group will not be abligations as they fall due. The Group strategy to manage liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have significant liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.
The liquidity policy followed ensures compliance with payment obligations acquired, through maintaining sufficient rrediff facilities and having access to the EDP Group facilities.

In the great majority of the plants are under power purchase agreements, with fixed or escalating prices. In the electricity is sold in Spain directly on the daily market at spot prices plus a premium (regulated). Nevertheless, EDPR EU has an option of selling the power through regulated tariffs, granting mices. In the remaining countries, prices are mainly determined through regulated tariffs.
EDPR EU and EDPR NA have electricity sales swaps that qualify for hedge accounting (cash flow hedge) that are related to electricity sales for the year 2012 and 2013 (see note 36). The purpose of EDP Renováveis Group is to hedge a volume of energy generated to reduce its exposure to the energy price volatility.
The Group's god in managing equity, in accordance with the policies established by its main shareholder, is to safeguard the Group's capacity to continue operating as a going concern, grow steadlished growth targets and maintain an optimum equity structure to reduce equity cost.
In conformity with other sector groups, the Group controls its financing structure based on the leverage ratio. This ratio is calculated as net financial borrowings divided by total equity and net borrowings are determined as the sum of financial debt, institutional equity liabilities corrected for non-current deferred revenues, less cash and cash equivalents.

The acquisition cost recognised in the annual accounts for 2011 included the balance settled in cash, consideration contigent on the successful implementation of projects underway and an amount reflecting the put option. The contigent consideration and the omount of the put option are both at fair value, based on the EDPR Group's best estimate at the purchase data (see note 34).
In 2011, EDPR Italia increased its share capital. The minority shareholder, Energia in Natura, S.r.l., did not subscribe this increase. As a result, the percentage ownership on the non-controlling interests has fallen from 15% to 6.48% and the put option was reduced by the corresponding amount. Futhermore, at 2011 year end, the fair value of the deferred amounts for the 2010 purchase (contigent consideration and put option), the information existing at year end which included a reduction in the estimated sales price of electricity to be produced and in the number of NW to be installed in the future.

During 2012 the EDPR Group has paid an amount of 30,279 thousands of Euros (31): 15,317 thousands of Euros) for business combinations and success fees related to acquisition of the companies of EDPR Spain Group (2,325 thousands of Euros), EDPR Poland Group (7,348 thousands of Euros), EDPR Solar Romania (8,801 thousands of Euros), EDPR Italia Group (2,520 thousands of Euros), EDPR Canada Group (4,807 thousands of Euros) and Other (4,478 thousands of Euros reldted with EDPR Belgium Group).
The goodwill of the EDPR Group is tested for impairment each year with basis of September. In the case of operational wind farms, it is performed by determining the recoverable value in use. Goodwill is allocated to each country where EDPR Group performs its activity, so the EDPR Group aggregate all the CGJs cash flows in order to calculate the recoverable amount of goodwill allocated
To perform this analysis, a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method is based on the principle that the estimated value of an entity or business is defined by its capacity to generate financial resources in the future, assuming these can be removed from the business and distributed among the company's shareholders, without compromising the maintenance of the activity.
Therefore, for the businesses developed by EDPR's CGUs, the valuation was based on free cash flows generated by the business, discounted at appropriate discount rates.
The future cash flows projection period used is the assets (25 years) which is consistent with the current depreciation method. The cash flows also incorporate the long-term off-take contract in place and long-term estimates of power prices, whenever the asset holds merchant exposure.
The main assumptions used for the impairment tests are as follows:
Power produced: net capacity factors used for each CGU utilize the wind studies carried out, which takes into account the long-term predictability of wind output and that wind generation is supported in nearly all countries by regulatory mechanisms that allow for production and priority dispatching whenever weather conditions permit;
Electricity remuneration: regulated or contraction has been applied where available, as for the CGUs that benefit from regulated remuneration or that have signed contracts to sell their output during all or part of their useful life; where this is not available, prices were derived using price curves projected by the company based on its experience, internal models and using external data references.
New capacity: tests were based on the best information available on the wind farms expected to be built in coming years, adjusted by probability of success and by the growth prospects of the Business Plan Targets, its historical growth and market size projections. The tests considered the contracted and expected prices to buy turbines from various suppliers;
Operating costs: established contracts for land leases and maintenance agreements were used; other projected consistent with the company's experience and internal models;
Terminal value: considered as a 15% of the initial investment in each wind farm, considering inflation;
Discount rate: the discount rates used are post-tax, reflect EDPR Group's best estimate of the risks specific to each CGU and range as follows:
| 2012 | 2011 | |
|---|---|---|
| Portugal and Spain | 7.0% - 7.1% | 6.7% |
| United States | 5.5% - 6.8% | 5.0% - 6.9% |
| Rest of Europe | 5.9% - 8.2% | 6.0% - 8.6% |
Impairment tests done have taken into account the regulation changes in each country, as disclosed in note 1.
EDPR has performed a series of sensitivity analyses of the results of impairment tests to reasonable changes in some of the key variables, such as:
Furthermore, EDPR Group has done an additional sensitivity andysis increasing 100 basis points the used in case base for EDPR NA and EDPR EU CGU's. These sensitivity and assumption independently would not suppose any impairment for the goodwill allocated to each country.

On 20 December 2012,EDP Renováveis S.A. ("EDPR"), 77.5% controlled by EDP, entered into an agreement with China Three Gorges International (Hong Kong) Company Limited ("CTGI HK"), a fully owned subsidiary of China Three Garges ("CTG"), to sell a 49% equity shareholding and 25% of the outstanding shareholders loans in EDP Renovaves Portugal, S.A. ("EDPR PT") for a total consideration of 359 millions of Furos
The transaction is subject to the customary regulatory approvals with closing expected to occur by the 1H13.
The transaction scope covers 615 MW in operage age of 6 years, as well as 29 MW ready-to-build, remunerated under a feed-in-tariff regime in accordance to Decree-Law 33-A/2005, article 4. This operation corresponds to a non-controlling interests sale in 2013 according with the accounting policy 2 b).
This transaction was agreed in the EDP/CTG strategic partnership established in December 2011 and that entered into force on May 2012.
On 2 February 2013, the Spanish Government publicial State Gazette the Royal Decree-Law 2/2013 ("RDL 2/2013") that encompasses a set of regulatory modifications applicable to the Spanish electricity sector and therefore offecting the wind energy asses.
The main regulatory changes the RDL 2/2013 envisages vis-ci-vis the Royal Decree 66//2007 that have an impact on EDP Renovavis S.A. ("EDPR") from 1st of January 2013 onwards, are:
The value of the premium in the economic regime of Market + Premium, has been set in 0c€/kWh.
Operators of the facilities operating under Market + Premium regime had the option to select before 15 February 2013, and applicable since 1 January 2013 onwards, whether they would like to remain in the Market + Premium regime this is to sell their electricity at market price). If an option has not been taken all the facilities currently included in the Market + Premium regime were automatically included in the Feed-in Tariff regime.
Furthermore, RDL 2/2013 establishes that opts to sell the energy in the Market + Premium regime cannot later opt for the Feed-in Tariff regime.
There were no changes introduced by Spanish Government regarding the 2020 Renewable Energy Target for Spain.
At the closing of 2012 accounts, the Board of DPR is evaluating the impact of the above mentioned regulatory changes in the cashflows of the Spanish portfolio. That being said, it is recsonable to expect that such unitateral changes introduced by the Spanish Government through the RD-L 2/2013 may have a significant impact from 2013 onwards via reduction of the projects and thence erode the profitability of the Spanish assets. As a result, EDPR will continue to achieve a negotiated solution while maintaining other avenues open. Preliming and sis the impairment tests would not result in EDPR consolidated accounts.

The new standards and interpretation that have been issued on its consolidated financial statements can be analysed as follows:

No significant impact is expected in the Group from the adoption of this change.
· Changes to IAS 34 - Interim Financial Reporting. The disclosures requirement for total segment assets with total liablifies in interim financial statements, ensuring that interim disclosures in relation to the changes of profit and losses account and other comprehensive income.
No significant impact is expected in the Group from the adoption of this change.
The International Accounting Standards Board (ASB), issued in December 2011, amendments to IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures, with effective date of mandatory application of 1 January 2013, being early adoption allowed.

The International Accounting Standards Board IIASBLissued in November 2009. IFRS 9 - Financial instruments part I: Classification and measurement, with effective date of mandatory application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, being allowed its edry adoption. This standard, changed in October 2010, has not yet been adopted by the European Union.
This standard is included in phase I of the IASB's comprehensive project to replace to issues of classification and measurement of financial assets. The main issues considered are as follows:
the financial assets can be classified in two categories: at amortised cost or at fair value. This decision will be made upon the initial recognition of the financial assets. Its classification depends these financial asses and the contractual cash flows associated to each financial asset in the business;
debt instruments model can be measured at amorised cash-flows represent only principal and interest payments, which means that it contains only basic loan features, and for which an entity holds the contractual cash flows. All the other debt instruments are recognised at fair value; and
equity instruments issued by third parties are recognised at fair value with subsequent changes recognised in the profit and loss. However an entity could irrevocably elect equity instruments at initial recognition for which fair value changes and the realised gain or loss are recognised in fair value reserves. Gains and losses recognised in fair value recycled to profit and loss. This is a discretionary decision, and does not imply that all the equity instruments should be treated on This basis. the dividends received are recognised as income for the year;
there is no exemption that allows unquoted equity investments and related to measure at cost. However, guidance is provided on the limited circumstances in which the cost of such an instrument may be an appropriate approximation of fair value;
changes in fair value attributable to own credit risk of financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss, shall be recognised in Other comprehensive income. The remaining fair value changes related to these financial liabilities shall be recognised through profit or loss. The amounts recognised in Other comprehensive income shall not be reclassified/Itransferred to profit and loss.
The Group is evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued in May 2011, IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements, with effective date of mandatory application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, being allowed its early adoption.

This standard establishes a single model to assessing the existence of control over subsidiaries, where an investor has control over a subsidiary when it is exposed, or has the right, to variable returns arising from its involvement in the subsidiary and has the ability to influence these returns because of the power over it. Additionally, the concept of "de facto control" was introduced.
The Group is evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued in May 2011, IFRS 11 - Joint Arrangements, with effective date of mandatory application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, being allowed its early adoption.
This standard superseded IAS 31 - Interes and introduces several changes for accounting jointly controlled investments, the main aspect is the elinination of the option to consolidate joint ventures by the proportional method mandatory.
The structure of a joint agreement ceases to be the main factor in delermining the accounting model to adopt. The classification of a joint agreement requires the identification and evaluation of the contractual agreement and other facts and circumstances.
The Group is evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued in May 2017, IFRS 10 - Consolidated financial state of mandatory application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, being allowed its early adoption.

EDP RENOVÁVEIS CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AS OF 31/DEC/2012

By means of the current Management Report, the Board of Directors of EDPR hereby provides shareholders and all other relevant stakeholders and all other relevant stakeholders with a synopsis of the most relevant aspects of the EDP Renováveis business and performance during 2012.

් Non-exhaustive Organization Chart, illustrating simplified geography of presence rather than comprehensive list of legal entities. For simplification purposes, country holdings are shown
2 100% owned by EDPR S.A., operationally integrated under EDPR NA platform.

EDP Renováveis informed that its principal shareholder EDP - Energias de Portugal, S.A. will hold a General Shareholders' Meeting in February 20th in which, among other, will decide upon the election of new members of the Executive Board of Directors. As a consequence, shall the referred proposal for the election of new Executive Board Members be approved, EDP hereby informs, from now, that, as major shareholder of EDP Renováveis, it intends to propose the necessary steps for Mr. João Manso Neto to assume the position of EDP Renováveis' Chief Executive Officer, in substitution Mrs. Ana Maria Fernandes.
In 2011 EDPR wind energy capacity grew by 806 MW (+12% YoY), adding 720 MW to its EBITDA consolidated capacity and 87 MW (attributable to EDPR) through the Eólicas de Portugal consortium. By the end of December 2011, EDPR managed a portfolio of 7.2 GW in 8 different countries, plus the 326 MW through its interest in the Eólicas de Portugal consortium.
In 2011, EDPR produced 16.8 TWh of CO2-free energy, a 17% increase vis-à-vis 2010, outpacing the capacity growth. The US represented the main source of growth (+21% YoY), while Europe's growth (+10% YoY) continues to be supported by Central and Eastern European markets (Rest of Europe, +65% YoY).
EDPR achieved a solid top-sector 29% load factor, with the capacity factor reaching 25% in Europe and 33% in the US, underlying the high quality of EDPR's assets. The annual stability on the total average load factor is result of a balanced portfolio, a selective geographical diversification and a strong knowledge in maximizing wind farm output.

Revenues reached €1,069 million (+13% YoY) and EBITDA €801 million (+12% YoY), with an EBITDA margin of 75%. Net income increased 10% YoY to €89 million.
At the Board of Directors' Meeting of EDP Renováveis held on the February 28th, 2012, the board members have approved the election of Mr. João Manso Neto to the position of CEO and Vice-President of EDP Renováveis Board of Directors following a proposal from the Appointment and Remuneration Committee. The election pursues Mrs. Ana Maria Fernandes' resignation to such positions given her new responsibilities within EDP.
EDP Renováveis executed a project finance structure agreement with a consortium of five European banks for 125 MW in Spain.
The long-term contracted debt facility (17 years) amounts to €177 million and the transaction financial close is expected to occur until the end of the first quarter of 2012.
The 125 MW comprises three wind farms in the Spanish region of Cataluña with 25 MW installed in 2009 and 50 MW installed in the 2011, being the remaining 50 MW currently under construction and to be installed by the end of 2012. All the capacity has a long term remuneration scheme in place according with the Royal Decree 661/2007.
EDP Renováveis' Annual General Shareholders' Meeting was held in the April 12th and approved the following resolutions:

EDP Renováveis' Board of Directors approved, pursuant to the terms provided for under the applicable Spanish law, the following resolutions:

In the last 12 months, EDPR added 532 MW to its EBITDA consolidated capacity and 87 MW (attributable to EDPR) through the Eólicas de Portugal consortium. As of Mar-2012, EDPR managed a global portfolio of 7.5 GW of onshore wind energy spread over 8 different countries, of which 7.2 GW fully consolidated with an additional 326 MW through its interest in the Edlicas de Portugal consortium.
In the 1Q12, EDPR produced 5.2 TWh of clean energy, an 18% increase vs. 1Q11. The annual growth in the electricity output benefited from the capacity additions in the last 12 months and the outstanding wind resource in the US. EDPR operations in the US were the main source for the electricity production growth, having increased by +26% YoY to 3.1 TWh. The European production growth (+6% YoY to 2.1 TWh) was strongly supported by Central and Eastern European markets (Rest of Europe, +50% YoY).
EDPR achieved a solid top-sector 34% load factor, reaching 27% in Europe and 41% in the US, underlining the high quality of EDPR's assets. The stability of the total average load factor is a result of a balanced portfolio, a selective geographical diversification and a strong knowledge in maximizing wind farm output.
May 8th - Ms. Ana Maria Fernandes resigned from member of EDP Renováveis' Board of Directors
Ms. Ana Maria Fernandes resigned from member of EDP Renováveis' Board of Directors given her new responsibilities within EDP.
In order to fill the vacancy, following the proposal from the Nomination and Remuneration Committee, the EDP Renováveis' Board of Directors appointed by cooption Mr. João Marques da Cruz, shareholder of EDPR, as member of such Board until the first General Meeting is gathered.
The cooption proposal is according to the Number 2 of the Article 23º of EDPR Articles of Association.

Revenues increased 22% YoY to €346 million resulting in a 20% YoY EBITDA increase to €263 million, with an EBITDA margin of 76%. Net income reached €62 million (+26% YoY).
EDP Renováveis management team present to the market the company's strategy for the next few years.
Mr. Rui Teixeira acquired 500 shares at an average price of €2.90 increasing its holding to 12,370 shares.
Mr. Gabriel Alonso acquired 8,000 shares at an average price of €2.74 increasing its holding to 26,503 shares.
In the 1H12, EDPR produced 10 TWh of clean energy, a 13% growth vs. 1H11. The electricity output growth reflects EDPR's well balanced portfolio: generation in Europe increased by 15% YoY and in the US by 10% YoY.
In the period, EDPR delivered a premium 32% load factor, maintaining its leading position within the wind sector reflecting its assets intrinsic quality.
By the end of the 1H12, EDPR managed a global portfolio of 7.5 GW of wind energy onshore spread over 8 different countries, of which 7.2 GW fully consolidated plus 332 MW through its interest in the Eólicas de Portugal consortium.

Revenues in the 1H12 increased 23% YoY, outpacing volumes growth given the sustained increase of the average selling price. EBITDA growth was in line with the Top-Line performance (+23% YoY) after a 16% Opex increase (excl. other operating income) and an €8m decline in other operating income, which resulted in a 75% EBITDA margin
Net Profit in the 1H12 increased 12% YoY to €100m or 33% on a like-for-like basis (Adj. Net Profit of €103m in the 1H12 vs. €78m in the 1H11) when adjusted by the change in the operating assets' useful life to 25 years, introduction of deferred tax accounting in the US, forex differences, capital gains, excess of provisions and write-offs/impairments.
EDP executed a project finance structure agreement with two European banks for 57 MW in Belgium. The long-term contracted debt facilities amount to €46 million and the transaction financial close is expected to occur until the end of the third quarter of 2012.
The 57 MW comprises three wind farms in operation in the region of Walloon, with 47 MW installed in 2008 and 10 MW installed in 2009, and all the capacity has a long-term PPA in place.
The Portuguese wind sector and the Portuguese Government reached an agreement in principles that maintains the legal stability of the current contracts (Decree-Law 33-A/2005) and protects the value of the investments made by the wind energy developers in the Portuguese economy. The wind farm operators can voluntarily invest to obtain further remuneration visibility, through the acquisition of a new tariff scheme to be applied upon the initial 15 years established by law. The proceeds will be used to reduce the overall costs of the Portuguese electricity system.
The agreement is only applicable to the wind farms under the "old tariff regime", while the wind farms awarded under the competitive tenders (e.g. Eólicas de Portugal - ENEOP) after the publication of the Decree-Law 33-A/2005 will not be subject to any type of changes.

The agreement reached provides additional stability to the Portuguese electricity system, and reinforces the legal framework in place and the country's commitment with renewable energy, by:
· Keeping unchanged all the provisions included in the Decree-Law 33-A/2005;
· Making the agreement voluntary to each one of the wind developers;
· Introducing a new tariff scheme, by extending the duration of the remuneration framework from the initial 15 years since the publication of the Decree-Law 33-A/2005 or the commercial operating date if later, to a duration of 20-22 years, in exchange for an annual payment by the developers from 2013 through 2020.
In order to maximise the number of wind developers that voluntarily adheres to the extension of the remuneration framework the Government proposed 4 alternative tariff schemes to be elected by each of the wind developers, providing i) alternative cap and floor selling prices; ii) alternative durations to the new scheme beyond the initial 15 years of the current contracts; and consequently iii) alternative levels of investment (on a per MW basis) to acquire the new scheme.
Through this regime, wind energy will be remunerated between year 16th and 2200 according with:
EDPR expects to annually invest between €3.6 million, during the 2013-2020 period, thus enabling additional long-term remuneration visibility for its Portuguese assets.
EDPR informed that Mr. António do Pranto Nogueira Leite and Mr. Francisco José Queiroz Barros de Lacerda have presented, by letters addressed to EDPR, their resignation from members of the Board of Directors. Following their resignation as members of the Board of Directors, Mr. António do Pranto Nogueira Leira and Mr. Francisco José Queiroz Barros de Lacerda also cease their positions in the Related Party Transactions Committee and in the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, respectively.

EDPR hereby informs that Mr. Luís de Abreu Castello-Branco Adão da Fonseca has presented, by letter addressed to EDPR, his resignation from member of the Board of Directors, due to personal reasons. Following his resignation Mr. Luís de Abreu Castello-Branco Adão da Fonseca also ceases his position in the Executive Committee.
EDPR started the construction of 39 MW of solar photovoltaic (solar PV) projects in Romania, executing one of the strategic growth options announced on its May 2012 Investor Day. The construction of the projects is expected to be concluded by the 1Q 2013.
In the 9M12, EDPR produced 13.3 TWh of clean energy, a 11% growth vs. 9M11. The electricity output growth reflects EDPR's well balanced portfolio: generation in Europe increased by 14% YoY and 9% in the US.
In the period, EDPR delivered a high 29% load factor (+1pp YoY), maintaining its leading position within the wind sector and reflecting its wind farms intrinsic quality.
As of Sep-12, EDPR managed a global portfolio of 7.7 GW in onshore wind energy spread over 8 different countries, of which 7.4 GW is fully consolidated plus 350 MW through its interest in the Eólicas de Portugal consortium.
Revenues in the 9M12 increased 22% YoY to €936m, outpacing volume growth given the sustained increase of the average selling price. EBITDA growth was in line with the Top-Line performance (+23% YoY to €675m) after a 15% Opex increase (excl. other operating income) and a €5m decline in other operating income, which resulted in a 72% EBITDA margin (+1pp YoY).

Net Profit in the 9M12 increased 48% YoY to €93m or 31% on a like-for-like basis (Adj. Net Profit of €94m in the 9M12 vs. €72m in the 9M11) when adjusted by the change in the operating assets' useful life to 25 years, recognition of deferred taxes in the US, forex differences, capital gains, use of provisions and write-offs/impairments.
EDPR has reached an agreement with Borealis Infrastructure ("Borealis") – which invests in and manages infrastructure investments on behalf of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System ("OMERS"), one of Canada's largest pension funds – to sell a 49% equity shareholding in a portfolio of wind farm assets in the US. The portfolio is comprised of four wind farms totalling 599 MW, installed between 2007 and 2008 (4.5 years of average age), and all of which have long-term Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in place.
EDP Renováveis S.A. ("EDPR") and Vestas Wind Systems A/S ("Vestas") have agreed to extend until 2015 the delivery period of the turbines covered by the 1,500 MW master supply agreement (in reference to reference to the announcement made in April 26th 2010).

Overall, 2012 was a year where EDPR has strengthen its balance sheet, by increasing total equity by +5% YoY and reducing its total liabilities by -1%.
Total assets in 2012 totaled €13.3bn, of which c. 80% (€10.5bn) are related to net Property, plant and equipment (PP&E) reflecting the cumulative net invested capital in renewable energy generation.
Total net PP&E increased +€82m, mainly following the new additions in the period (+€690m) reduced by the depreciation charges and impairment losses in the period (-€501m), the effect from Fx translation mostly due to the USD devaluation (-€89m) and the disposals and write-offs (-€19m). Total cumulative net invested capital related to renewable energy assets in operation at the end of 2012 (excluding work in progress related to assets under construction and pipeline and excluding investment grants received) amounted to €9.5bn.
Net intangible assets and goodwill of €1.3bn mostly include the goodwill assigned to acquisitions in the US (€588m) and Spain (€535m) while total net accounts receivable of €1.0bn comprise loans to related parties (€538m), trade receivables (€180m), guarantees (€64m) and tax receivables (€55m).
Total equity at year-end of €5.7bn increased by +€296m during the year essentially from the sale of non-controlling interests of +€179m and the net profit of the period of +€136m (including +€10m attributable to non-controlling interests).
Total liabilities of €7.6bn at year-end 2012, stable versus prior year-end, consist c. 51% from financial debt (€3.9bn) and c. 12% from liabilities related to institutional partnerships (€0.9bn).
Liabilities related to institutional partnerships decreased by -€69m to €942m, mainly as a result of tax benefits monetized (-€111m), payments to institutional investors (-€16m), interests accrued (€67m) and Fx translation (-€18m). Deferred revenues from institutional partnerships of €738m consist of the deferred income related to tax benefits monetized by the institutional partners yet to be recognized in the income statement throughout the remaining lifetime of the respective assets.
Deferred Tax liabilities in the amount of €381m reflect from temporary differences between assets and liabilities on an accounting basis and on tax basis, while accounts payable of €1.6bn include payables to PP&E suppliers (€580m), deferred income related to Investment grants received (€324m), liabilities from fair value of derivative financial instruments (€245m) and tax payables (€57m).

In 2012, the company's revenues increased 20% YoY to €1,285m, on the back of higher output and stronger prices. Opex - defined as Operating Costs (net) minus Other operating income - was up 17% YoY, below the top-line growth evolution. On an unitary basis, Opex/MW and Opex/MWh increased 8% and 6% YoY, mostly impacted by a stronger US Dollar and write-offs. Excluding the forex impact and write-offs, Opex/MW and Opex/MWh only increased by 4% and 2% YoY.
In 2012, Supplies and services (which includes O&M costs) together with personnel costs increased 13% YoY, reflecting the stronger US Dollar, the higher average capacity in operation and lower capitalisations as a result of lower FTEs allocated to construction and development activities. Other operating costs (which mainly includes operating taxes, leases and rents) grew 29% YoY following the top-line growth, the stronger US Dollar, higher taxes (Spain and France) and grid access fees (Spain), and further write-offs related to pipeline rationalisation.
Unitary EBITDA per average MW in operation, a metric to measure the assets' profitability, increased 9% YoY to €131k in 2012 showing evidence of the ongoing improvement of EDPR's portfolio. As a result, EBITDA in 2012 totalled €938m, 17% higher vs. 2011.
The operating income (EBIT) increased 30% YoY to €450m in 2012, following the EBITDA performance and the 7% higher depreciation and amortisation. D&A were impacted by the new capacity brought into operation of the assets' useful life and impairments (€53m) mostly related to projects under development in Spain.
At the financial results level, net interest costs before capitalisation increased 8% YoY to €205m in 2012, below the 14% YoY average financial debt evolution. Institutional partnership costs were up 4% YoY given the stronger US Dollar, while forex differences and derivatives remained positive. Other financial expenses in the 4Q12 standalone amounted to €13m impacted by the early termination costs of financial debt (in line with 3Q12 excluding this effect).
Pre-Tax Profit increased 53% YoY to €182m in 2012. In the period, income taxes amounted to €46m, with an effective tax rate of 25% (vs. 24% in 2011). Non-controlling interests totalled €10m, following the better performance in EDPR Europe and the sale of a non-controlling interest in 599 MW in the US.
All in all, Net Profit increased 43% YoY to €126m in 2012 while Adjusted Net Profit increased by 32% YoY to €134m when adjusted by the non-recurrent events with impact on the operating income and by Forex differences and capital gains (in 2012 and 2011).

In 2012, for the first year, EDPR generated an Operating Cash-Flow above the overall investment. Operating Cash-Flow increased 4% YoY to €666m which compares unfavourably with the FFO performance given the non-recurrent working capital changes registered in 2011 and the increased stock of green certificates in Romania, which were mostly sold only at the beginning of 2013.
The key cash-flow items that explain the 2012 cash evolution are the following:

By Dec-12, EDPR net debt decreased €33m vs. Dec-11 to €3.4bn given that the Operating Cash-Flow and the first instalment of the asset rotation strategy more than covered the investment activities and the debt service of the period. The average financial debt increased 14% in the last 12 months (€4.0bn in 2012 vs €3.5bn in 2011), while the average net debt increased 8% YoY.
76% of EDPR's financial debt was contracted through shareholder loans with the EDP Group – EDPR's principal shareholder -, while loans with financial institutions represented 24%. To continue to diversify its funding sources EDPR keeps on executing top quality projects enabling the company to secure local project finance at competitive costs. In 2012, EDPR signed three new project finances for a total of €274m for projects in Spain (125 MW), Belgium (57 MW) and Romania (57 MW). Moreover, all of EDPR's wind installed capacity in Romania (285 MW) has now project finance structures fully secured (€238m).

Liabilities referred to as Institutional Partnerships decreased €68m YoY (€50m excluding the forex translation effect) to €942m, due to the tax benefits captured by the tax equity partners. As of Dec-12, 57% of EDPR's financial debt was Euro denominated, while 39% was funded in US Dollar given the company's investments in the US. The remaining debt is mainly related to funding in Polish Zloty an in Brazilian Real.
92% of the financial debt is at a fixed rate and most of it (c.80%) has a post-2018 maturity. EDPR continues to follow a long-term fixed rate funding strategy to match the Operating Cash-Flow profile with its financing costs, therefore mitigating its interest rate risk.
As of Dec-12, the average interest rate was 5.2%, a 20bps decrease vs. Dec-11, reflecting the longterm maturity of the current debt and the attractive rates closed in the latest funding.
EDPR is a global leading energy company. Our growth has been the result of an extraordinary ability to execute projects and to smoothly integrate new companies, people and cultures. Our markets provide attractive growth potential, mainly due to their growth prospects and the fact that they possess stable regulatory structures that allows for profitable returns.
EDPR continues to look at the renewable energy sector with a long-term outlook, believing that the environmental, economic and technological trends that have underpinned the currently favorable renewable energy market conditions will continue to drive further support for growth in our markets.
EDPR has a solid history executing projects and delivering targets. We consistently increased installed capacity through the successful development of pipeline. The company's successful results stem from a unique combination of factors: strong track record in execution, first class assets with above average wind resource quality, a well balanced portfolio in terms of geography, stage of development and revenue sources, and a competitive turbine supply strategy.
The combination of diversified operations with a stable revenue base spread across countries with favorable regulatory regimes limits the exposure to market prices of electricity and provides significant visibility and stability.
At the core of EDPR's confidence in achieving these targets, is a dynamic, highly qualified and experienced team of world-wide employees with the track record and ambition to deliver upon our targets.

EDPR's risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning.
In EDPR's risk framework, risk process aims to link the company's overall strategy to manager's day-to-day decisions, enabling the company to increase the likelihood of achieving its strategic objectives.
EDPR's general strategy is translated into major strategic questions that are grouped by risk area and then subject to EDPR's risk process. The outcome of the risk process is a set of specific guidelines per risk area that will guide managers in their decisions according to the company's risk profile.



Risk management in EDPR is supported by three distinct organizational functions:
EDPR's risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning. The following list summarizes the main risk areas and descriptions of EDPR's business:

The development and profitability of renewable energy projects are subject to policies and regulatory frameworks. The jurisdictions in which EDPR operates provide numerous types of incentives that support the energy generated from renewable sources.
The European Union and various US federal and state bodies have regularly reaffirmed their desire to continue and strengthen support for renewable energy sources, although due to the financial difficulties that Governments are experiencing, remuneration schemes have become less competitive in some countries.
Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that the current support will be maintained or that the electricity produced by future renewable energy projects will benefit from state purchase obligations, tax incentives, or other support measures for the electricity generation from renewable energy sources. Regulation promoting green energy has been revised or is being under study in a large number of regions.
EDPR is managing its exposure to regulatory risks through diversification (being present in several countries) and by being an active member in several wind associations. Sensitivity analyses to updated regulatory scenarios are also performed.
EDPR faces limited market price risk as it pursues a strategy of being present in countries or regions with long term visibility on revenues. In most countries where EDPR is present, prices are determined through regulated framework mechanisms. In the markets where there is expected short term volatility in market prices, EDPR uses various financial and commodity hedging instruments in order to optimize the exposure to fluctuating electricity prices. However, it may not be possible to successfully hedge the exposures or there may be other difficulties in executing the hedging strategy.

In Europe, EDPR operates in countries where the selling price is defined by a feed-in-tariff (Spain, Portugal and France) or in markets where on top of the electricity price, EDPR receives either a pre-defined regulated premium or a green certificate, whose price is achieved on a regulated market (Spain, Belgium, Poland, and Romania). Additionally, EDPR is developing activity in Italy and UK where current incentive system is based on green certificates. Recently Italy changed to a feed in tariff from green certificates and UK is in process.
In North America, EDPR is focus on developing in states which have an RPS program in place, providing higher revenues visibility through the REC (Renewable Energy Credit) market and noncompliance penalties. The North American market does not provide a regulated framework system for the electricity price although it may exist for the RECs in some states. Most of EDPR's capacity in the US has predefined prices determined by long-term contracts with local utilities in line with the Company's policy of signing long-term contracts for the output of its wind farms. In Brazilian operations, the selling price is defined through a public auction which is later translated into a long-term contract.
Under EDPR's global approach to optimize the exposure to market electricity prices, the Company evaluates on a permanent basis if there are any deviations to the defined limits (measured through EBITDA at risk), assessing in which markets financial hedges may be more effective to correct it. In 2012, in order to manage such exposure, EDPR financially hedged a significant part of its generation in Spain while in the US it closed a significant portion of its exposure through several power purchase agreements, long term hedges and financial swaps. Additionally, EDPR hedged part of the merchant generation in Poland and Romania.
The amount of electricity generated by EDPR from its wind farms, and therefore EDPR's profitability, is dependent on climatic conditions, which vary across the locations of the wind farms, and from season to season and year to year. Energy output at wind farms may decline if wind speed falls outside specific ranges, as turbines will only operate when wind speeds are within those ranges.
Variations and fluctuations in wind conditions at wind farms may result in seasonal and other fluctuations in the amount of electricity that is generated and, consequently, in the operating results and efficiency.

EDPR mitigates wind resource volatility and seasonality by having a strong knowledge in the design of its wind farms and through geographical diversification - in each country and in different countries – of its asset base. This "portfolio effect" enables EDPR to offset wind variations in each area and to keep the total energy generation relatively steady. Currently, EDPR is present in 11 countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil. There exist financial products to hedge weather risk. EDPR is currently exploring the interest of contracting those products in specific cases.
EDPR is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates through financing. This risk can be mitigated by contracting fixed rates and financial instruments such as hedges and interest rate swaps.
Additionally, because of its presence in several countries, currency fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the financial results. EDPR hedges against currency fluctuations by employing natural hedging strategies, and using hedging instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts and Cross Interest Rate Swaps.
EDPR's hedging efforts minimize but don't eliminate the impact of interest rate and exchange rate volatility.
The evolution of the financial markets is analyzed on an on-going basis in accordance to EDP Group's risk management policy approved by the EDPR`s Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the definition of general risk-management principles and the establishment of exposure limits based on the recommendation of the Risk Committee.
Taking into account the risk management policy and approved exposure limits, the Finance team identifies evaluates, and submits the financial strategy appropriate to each project/location for the Board's approval.

The purpose of the interest rate risk management policies is to reduce the exposure of long term debt cash flows from market fluctuations, mainly by contracting long term debt with a fixed rate, but also through the settlement of derivative financial instruments to swap from floating rate to fixed rate when long term debt is issued with floating rates.
EDPR has a portfolio of interest-rate derivatives with maturities ranging from 2 to 14 years. Sensitivity analyses of the fair value of financial instruments to interest-rate fluctuations are performed.
Given the policies adopted by EDPR Group, its financial cash flows are substantially independent from the fluctuation in interest rates.
EDPR operates internationally and is exposed to the exchange-rate risk resulting from investments in foreign subsidiaries. Currently, the main currency exposure is the U.S. dollar/euro currency fluctuation risk that results principally from our operations in the US. With the ongoing increasing capacity in others non-euro regions, EDPR is also exposed to different currencies in Poland, Romania, Brazil, United Kingdom and Canada.
EDPR's general policy is the Natural Hedging in order to match currency cash flows, minimizing the impact of changes in the exchange rate and preserving value. The essence of this approach is to create financial foreign currency outflows to match equivalent foreign currency inflows.
Counterparty risk is the default risk of third-parties in an agreement with EDPR either due to temporary liquidity issues or long term systemic issues.
EDPR's policy in terms of the counterparty credit risk on financial transactions is managed by an analysis of the technical capacity, competitiveness, credit notation and exposure to each counterparty. Counterparties in derivatives and financial transactions are restricted to high-quality credit institutions, there cannot be considered any significant risk of counterparty noncompliance and no collateral is demanded for these transactions.

Liquidity risk is the risk that EDPR will not be able to meet its financial obligations.
EDPR's strategy to manage liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to EDPR's reputation.
EDPR has a diversified financial structure composed of corporate debt and project finance, which. considers among other factors, financing cost, project ownership and project currency liquidity. Finally, EDPR uses a financial model to forecast liquidity risk in the medium and long term to meet strategic targets previously set (EBITDA, debt ratio and others).
The wind turbine generator (WTG) is a key element in the development of EDPR's wind-related energy projects, as the shortfall or an unexpected sharp increase in WTG prices can create a question mark on new project's development and profitability. WTG represents on average 70 to 80% of a wind farm´s capital expenditure.
EDPR faces limited risk to the availability and price increase of WTG's due to the framework agreements with the major global wind turbines suppliers. The Company uses a large mix of turbines suppliers in order to diversify the wind turbine supply risk.
Wind farms are subject to strict regulations at different authority levels (international, national, state, regional and local) relating to the development, construction, grid interconnection and operation of power plants. Among other things, these laws regulate landscape and environmental aspects, building licenses, land use and land securing and access to the grid issues.

While level of exigency might be different depending on the geographies, we acknowledge a trend for legislations to align towards the most restrictive rules and development risks concentrating on the consenting (namely environmental and urbanistic aspects) and connection side.
In this context, the experience EDPR is able to gather in a certain country will be useful to anticipate and deal with future similar changes in other countries.
During the development and design phase, EDPR focuses on the optimization of its projects. By mastering the variables under our control, such as choice of locations, optimal lay-out, we intend to make our projects more resilient to an adverse external environment
EDPR mitigates this risk by generating optionality, by having development activities in 11 different countries (Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil) with a portfolio of projects in several stages of maturity. EDPR has a large pipeline located in the most attractive regions providing a "buffer" to overcome potential delays in the development of new projects, ensuring growth targets and being able to compensate permitting delays in some geographies with development efforts in others.
Wind farm output depends upon the availability and operating performance of the equipment necessary to operate it, mainly the components of wind turbines and transformers. Therefore, the risk is that the performance of the turbine does not reach its optimum thus leading to lower than expected value.
EDPR mitigates this risk by using a mix of turbine suppliers which minimizes technological risk, by signing a medium-term full-scope maintenance agreement with the turbine supplier and by an adequate preventive and scheduled maintenance program.
Most recently, EDPR is externalizing non core technical O&M activities of its wind farms, while primary and value added activities continue controlled by EDPR.

In line with EDPR's general risk policy and strategy EDPR uses financial derivative instruments and enters in hedging positions and transactions with the sole intent to protect against those risks and, as a consequence, mitigate fluctuations of its earnings and/or changes in its equity.
The type of derivative instruments contracted and their respective fair values are described in detail as part of the note 36 to the attached Condensed Financial Statements.
At the Annual Shareholders' meeting of 2010, the Board of Directors was authorized, during a term of five years from the date of the General Shareholders Meeting, for the derivative acquisition and sale of own shares by the Company and/or other affiliate companies, to the maximum limit established by the Law and in accordance with its terms.
EDPR has not executed any acquisition and consequently any trade of its own shares.
Beyond the commercial activities, EDP Renováveis supports EDP Inovação (EDPI) in developing different projects with the objective of improving competitiveness.
These projects are mainly focused on solar, offshore wind and other technologies.
This agreement with EDPI reinforces the long term commitment of EDPR to support R&D activities in areas related with its business.

EDPR is a leading company in renewable energy. We produce clean and green energy, energy without emissions. Our strategy towards the environment is based in four pillars: the generation of CO2-free energy, a strategy to minimize impacts during the life-cycle of our wind farms, a culture of respect for the biodiversity and a culture of responsibility and recycling in our offices.

Our portfolio of 8 GW of installed capacity contributes every year to the worldwide fight against climate change. We significantly improve local and global air quality by mitigating emissions that would otherwise be released into the atmosphere due to the operation of other kinds of energy generation based on fossil fuels.
During 2012, EDPR has produced 18.4 TWh that is estimated to avoid the emission of 14,521 thousand tons of CO2.

The company growth plans of pure renewable energy represent a solid commitment to foster the use of green energy sources. Moreover, we are committed to support the use the best technologies available in order to preserve natural resources and reduce pollution.
In order to protect the environment, we complement our strategy of fighting against climate change with an environmentally responsible management of our wind farms. This strategy is supported by the Environmental and Biodiversity policies based on EDP Group's Guidelines that were approved by EDPR Executive Committee.
Our policies reflect a responsible management of the environment along the whole value chain. From the very early stages of project development - when it is critical to perform environmental and cultural feasibility studies - to the decommissioning of our wind farms - where our environmental strategy includes a waste management plan, environmental monitoring plans and habitat restoration. All this process is supported by an extensive local knowledge that allows us to ensure environmental compliance during the project life cycle.
Moreover, EDPR pursues to minimize impacts on the eco-system. When impacts cannot be prevented, we implement compensation measures, including partnerships with environmental associations aimed at achieving a globally positive biodiversity balance.
Nevertheless, wind farms are typically constructed in rural areas where wind resource is abundant and the operation of wind farms is compatible with current land use. Once construction is complete, less than 1% of the total project area is taken out of permanent production, and its change of use is approved by the competent authorities.

The primary use of this land is for access roads to the wind turbine locations, a small area for the wind turbine and electrical transformer, and a gravelled pad area for a crane to be used in construction and maintenance activities.
To guarantee the proper management of the environmental aspects and compliance with applicable environmental legislation, EDPR initiated in 2008 the implementation of an Environmental Management System (EMS).
The EMS covers, among others, the procedures applicable to all wind farms in operation to establish operational controls, monitoring and measurements of the relevant environmental aspects. Environment surveillance is carried out periodically to assess the significance of the environmental aspects. The frequency of further surveillances is established in the monitoring plan given the assessment made. There are a few cases in which the surveillance is performed on a daily basis.
In Europe, the EMS has been ISO 14001:2004 certified. By the end of 2012, all EDPR European wind farms that have been in service before June 2012 and operated by EDPR have been certified, accounting for 3.664 MW, about 50% of EDPR installed capacity.


One of the main competitive advantages that leads EDPR to deliver, year after year, exceptional operational results is the company's human capital. A young world class team with excellent qualifications and an extensive local knowledge. EDPR's capacity to attract and retain this qualified workforce has been of vital importance to develop and retain a strong know-how essential to deliver on its strategy.
In 2012, EDPR employed 861 people, 32% of which are located in North America and Brazil, while 68% work in Europe. Of our employees, 99% have an undetermined contract.

Note: Figures do not include the members of the Board of Directors, except three members of the Executive Committee
We have a qualified and diverse team aligned with our business strategy, 72% of which hold university degrees and 71% are less than 40 years old. This deep pool of highly qualified talent has supported EDPR's exponential growth and provides the optimal base to face future opportunities and challenges. Additionally, our people strongly reflect EDPR's energy and enthusiasm.



Throughout the year, 145 new employees joined EDPR while 80 are no longer with the company, resulting in a turnover ratio of 13%, which is in line with the previous years.

The satisfaction of our employees has been one of the key drivers to retain our highly qualified workforce. Providing one of the best workplaces in the regions where we are present increases our employees' pride and ownership feeling for the company. It is also a great communication channel to transmit our values to potential new hires. Therefore, at EDPR we pursue and have obtained different certifications that confirm our distinction as one of the best places to work.
In 2012, EDPR was included in the Great Place to Work (GPTW) ranking in Spain. This was achieved following a survey sent to the company's employees, by an independent body, asking for their opinion on many factors of company life.
Despite being the first time we applied to be included in this ranking, EDPR ranked among the top six best companies to work in Spain, in the 250 to 500 employees category.
EDPR in 2012 was voted a top workplace in the US for the third year in a row. More than 72,500 Houston-area employees weighed in with opinions for this year's Houston Chronicle's Top Workplaces section - rating their companies in such areas as opportunities for advancement, the value of their pay and benefits, and their bosses' communication and management skills.
We are committed to offer a competitive compensation and benefits package to recognize the work and talent of our employees, with no distinctions between full time and part time employees.
Our compensation policy addresses the needs of every local market, with enough flexibility to adapt to the specifics of each region. It is based on a fixed base, complemented by a variable component that depends on a performance evaluation measured against company performance, area, and individual KPIs.
We support our remunerations package with multiple benefits and a Flexible Remuneration Package, which allows our employees to benefit from tax incentives according to local legislation. In addition, we reached agreements with local partners, to offer our employees discounts on specific products.

One of our main focuses continues to be the promotion and encouragement of work-life balance of our employees. This pursuit increases our employee's satisfaction, while boosting their productivity, commitment and accountability.
EDPR implemented work-life balance programs throughout its geographies and aims constantly at improving and providing additional benefits.
Benefits in the work-life balance program are specific and include, among others depending on the geographies, subsidies for employees' children to perform summer activities, additional paid leave to extend parental leave or to celebrate the birthday and others.
In 2011, EDPR has been recognized with the Family-Responsible Employer Certification (Empresa Familiarmente Responsable), for its work-life balance practices in Spain.
During 2012, our practices have been audited, as part of the certification renewal process performed every two years. The results of the audit process confirmed the excellence of the current management model, as well as the compliance with the certification standards. There was a special mention in the audit outcome to the efforts continuous improvement of the company's practices, which should be positively reflected in future evaluations.
Ensuring that employees have time for family and friends is one of the pillars to achieve a healthy work-life balance. During 2012, we hosted activities for employees' children. We wanted them to visit our offices and see where their parents work. These activities took place in Europe and in the US along the year.
As a sustainable company that is proud of being an active member of our many communities, our employees are encouraged to actively participate in their communities and to be responsive and aware of emerging needs through many volunteering initiatives.
Moreover, our volunteering practices create an environment both within the company and in the communities where we do business that is more open to near ideas, supportive of individual differences and embodies what is best in volunteerism.

To engage in our volunteering programs, employees can participate in several campaigns, by donating, or by engaging in several activities, during working hours or during the weekends. In the US, there is a Volunteering Committee that plans periodic activities aimed at generating a positive impact in society.
EDPR strives to train and prepare its top quality team, with a clear focus on tackling the challenges and opportunities of the future. To do so, EDPR has implemented a strong training, development and mobility strategy. With these efforts, we want to preserve the excellence of the company's human capital, while offering our people an attractive career development plan with opportunities for professional growth.
To support company's global growth strategy, mobility is of upmost importance as a powerful tool to share EDPR culture and best practices with new markets where we plan to enter. In addition, it also opens new horizons to our employees in their career development.
During 2012, we initiated a process to facilitate employees' access to those opportunities that better match their career plans. Employees were encouraged to update their professional experience information and their preferences regarding mobility.
This information was processed in order to identify different profiles within the company, preparing for the forthcoming mobility requirements. In the following years, new open positions within the company will be matched with the generated profiles, in order to prioritize internal movement with those employees whose competencies, training and mobility preferences match the requirements for the new position.
When defining our strategy for the future, we strive to align current and future demands of the organization with employees' capabilities while fulfilling their professional development expectations and supporting their continued employability. We are committed to offer our employees an attractive career plan, as well as continuous education and training opportunities.
All of EDPR employees, regardless of their professional category, are evaluated yearly to determine the potential for development, thus creating a tailored development plan with the

most suitable training to address their particular needs. The potential assessment process is independent from performance appraisal and is based on a 360 degree evaluation model in which the system collects information from several data sources to evaluate employee performance: oneself, peers, subordinates and manager.
In 2012, the number of attendances to training sessions increased to 2,270, representing 2.93 attendances to training courses per employee. On the other hand, the total number of training hours decreased to 14,611, as a result of a change of profile of training to more focused, shorter courses.
| Training Metrics | 2012 | 2011 | 8 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Number of training hours (#) | 14,611 | 17,873 | -18% |
| Training investment (k€) | 924 | 1,033 | -11% |
| Number of attendances (#) | 2,270 | 2,004 | 13% |
Note: Training from Portugal and Brazil is reported by EDP and, as a result, not included Note 2: Metrics do not include language training. In 2012, language training accounted for 2,713 hours and 166 attendances , while in 2011 language training represented 20,123 hours and 1,681 attendances.
In the coming years, the Renewable Energy School will gain relevance as a tool aimed at facilitating know-how sharing and providing employees with an overview of the strategic challenges that the company faces.
The Renewable Energy School was created in 2011, in the context of the EDP University, and since its creation, it has proven to be a success, delivering 23 training sessions (representing 229 hours) to 389 attendants.
The School also fostered strategic discussion with a workshop prepared during 2012 involving directors from different areas across the company. And our business partners have also contributed to the objective of our school through collaborative courses, such as a specific training session in offshore wind energy held with Repsol and other collaborations with EDP University.
Our training strategy is also focused on boost career development of our high potential employees, as we want them to become the future leaders to carry EDPR to the next level. With this objective, during 2012, we continued offering those employees a specific training program named High-Potential Program (HIPO).

Through the HIPO, those employees are assisted in their professional development with the support of a mentor that will provide employees with guidance in their careers, and specific training to develop the required soft skills to grow professionally within the company.
Effective leadership is a pre-requisite for success and company's development. During 2012, EDPR provided its management with top leadership training topics from leadership responsibilities to leadership style. The training sessions held for this purpose were an excellent forum to share leadership experiences.
When defining our strategy for the future, we strive to align current and future demands of the organization with employees' capabilities while fulfilling their professional development expectations and supporting their continued employability. We are committed to offer our employees an attractive career plan, as well as continuous education and training opportunities.
In order to fuel future growth, increase efficiency and drive innovation, EDPR is constantly scanning globally to recruit top talent. To this extent a recruiting strategy has been developed to achieve this critical goal, while ensuring that new hires are aligned with the company's values:

In 2012, we hired 145 employees, 33% of them women.

EDP Renováveis, has adopted the governance structure in effect in Spain. It comprises a General Shareholders' Meeting and a Board of Directors that represents and manages the company. The Company's Board of Directors has set up four committees. These are the Executive Committee, the Audit and Control Committee, the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, Related-Party Transactions Committee.
The governance model of EDPR is designed to ensure the transparency, meticulous separation of duties and the specialization of supervision.
The purpose of the choice of this model by EDPR is to adapt the Company's corporate governance structure to the Portuguese legislation. The governance model adopted by EDPR therefore seeks, as it is compatible with its personal law, to correspond to the so-called "Anglo-Saxon" model set forth in the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, in which the management body is a Board of Directors, and the supervision and control duties are of the responsibility of an Audit and Control Committee.
The choice of this model complies with the purpose of establishing compatibility between two different systems of company law, which could be considered applicable to the model.
The experience of institutional operating indicates that the governance model adopted by the shareholders is appropriate to the corporate organisation of EDP Renováveis activity, especially because it affords transparency and healthy balance between the management functions of the Executive Committee, the supervisory functions of the Audit and Control Committee and oversight by different specialised Board of Directors' committees.
The institutional and functional relationship between the Executive Committee, the Audit and Control Committee and the other non-executive members of the Board of Directors has been harmony conducive to the development of the company's business.
In order to ensure a better understanding of EDP Renováveis corporate governance by its shareholders, the Company posts its updated Articles of Association at www.edprenovaveis.com.

The General Meeting of Shareholders, when properly convened, has the power to decide and adopt majority decisions on matters that the law and the Articles of Association set forth that it should be decided and be submitted for its approval.
The Board of Directors has the broadest powers for the management and governance of the Company, with no limitations other than the competences expressly allocated exclusively to the General Shareholders' Meeting by law or the Articles of Association.

The President of the United States of America has signed last night the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012, which includes the extension of energy-related tax incentives benefiting the development of wind energy in the country.
As a result of this Act, the wind projects that have begun construction until January 1, 2014, will qualify for 10 years of Production Tax Credits ("PTC") on the electricity output (\$22/MWh) – PTC are one of the components of the wind energy remuneration scheme, which were scheduled to expire on December 31, 2012, for projects placed into service.
The owners of the wind projects would also have the option to choose a 30% Investment Tax Credit ("ITC") on the project cost in lieu of the PTC through the duration of the extension.
Following the Law signed yesterday, EDPR maintains the investment plan presented at the May-12 Investor Day, which included no wind additions in the US for 2013 and 400 MW of new wind capacity to be added in the 2014-15 period that were subject to the PTC extension and/or attractive long-term Power Purchase Agreements ("PPA") with off-takers.
EDPR"), through its subsidiary EDP Renewables Italy, SRL ("EDPR Italy"), has secured a 20-year feed-in-tariff for 40 MW of wind capacity at the new renewable energy auction in Italy, which results were announced yesterday by the Gestore Servizi ("GSE"). EDPR projects are located in the Puglia and Basilicata regions and have an expected average load factor of 29%.

February 40 - Spanish Government publishes Royal Decree-Law with regulatory modifications for the electricity sector
Last Saturday, the Spanish Government published in the Official State Gazette the Royal Decree-Law 2/2013 ("RDL 2/2013") that encompasses a set of regulatory modifications applicable to the Spanish electricity sector and affecting the wind energy assets.

· All the energy production facilities operating under the special regime are to be remunerated according with the current feed-in tariff schemes for the remaining useful life of the asset.
· The operators of the facilities under the special regime currently operating under the market option have the option to select, until February 15th 2013 and permanent for the remaining useful life of the asset, a remuneration based on the electricity wholesale market price without the renewable energy premium, the cap or the floor.
· The index used to annually update all the regulated activities in the electricity sector will be the annual inflation excluding energy products and food prices, and any impact of tax changes.
In 2012, EDPR produced 18.4 TWh of clean energy, a 10% growth from 2011. EDPR continues to present a well balanced portfolio delivering growth in every region.

The Audit and Control Committee found no constraints in performing its duties.
EDPR has an Internal Control System over Financial Reporting (SCIRF) undated and monitored in line with international standards of internal control.
This system covers the main aspects of COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission): maintaining a control environment for the preparation of qualified financial information, assessment of the risks of financial reporting, existence of control activities to mitigate risks of error, information, and communication and evaluation mechanisms.
EDPR, in order to implement and maintain the SCIRF in operational terms. has developed a Responsibilities Model and a SCIRF Manual.
The Responsibilities Model includes the functions and main activities in the management and maintenance of the system at all levels of the organization including: monitoring activities related to the annual cycle. the implementation of controls, and documentation of evidence and supervision activities.
EDPR has also a SCIRF Manual where the general principles of the Internal Control System over Financial Reporting are established, as well as the methodology used, the procedures for ensuring the effectiveness of internal control, and design of models, documentation, evaluation, and reporting.
EDPR has a Code of Ethics published on its intranet, which includes principles like transparency, honesty, integrity, nondiscrimination, equal opportunity, and sustainability.
The Code of Ethics has been widely circulated among employees of the Group through internal communications mechanisms, individual shipments, delivery to new emplovees, and intranet publishing.
There is a strong commitment by the Company in relation to the dissemination and promotion of compliance with the Code available to all employees through training, questionnaires, and open discussions of the findings
There is also an Ethics Channel and Ethics Regulation to articulate any specific claims of the Code of Ethics and to resolve doubts on all matters relating to the Code of Ethics.
Communications regarding possible breaches of the Code of Ethics are sent to the Ethics Ombudsman, which performs a first analysis, forwarding its conclusion to the Ethics Committee of EDPR, which receives, records, processes, and reports to the Board of Directors.
In 2012 there were no communications to the Ethics Ombudsmen regarding any irregularity at EDPR.
In addition to the Code of Ethics and the Ethics Channel, EDPR has implemented a Communication Channel to the Audit and Control Committee that allows direct communication with the Audit and Control Committee of any inappropriate practices in accounting and finance.
The operation of this Communication Channel is regulated by the Regulation on procedures to be adopted in communication matters to the Audit and Control Committee. Submissions can be made by email or letter, being handled by the Secretary of the Audit and Control Committee. To ensure confidentiality, access to information submitted is restricted and limited.
The SCIRF Manual includes the annual update of the scope that aims to identify companies, areas, and processes that must be included in the scope of SCIRF, according to criteria of materiality and risk, including the risk of error or fraud.
The risk analysis included in the scoping process for SCIRF, includes different types of risk (operational, economic, financial, technological, or legal) and control objectives of financial reporting (existence and occurrence, completeness, measurement, presentation, disclosure, comparability, and rights, and obligations in terms of their potential impact on the financial statements).

The results of the updated scope with the methodology outlined are communicated at all levels of the organization involved in the SCIRF and supervised by the Audit and Control Committee.
In documented SCIRF processes and controls, information capture mechanisms are established (including identification of the scope of consolidation). The steps and controls that are carried out for the preparation of the financial information that will be part of consolidated financial statements are specified.
The procedures for review and approval of financial information are provided by the areas of Planning and Control, Administration, and Finance. Financial information is monitored in the scope of its competences by the Audit and Control Committee, prior to the formulation of the accounts by the Board of Directors.
The SCIRF includes control activities related to these processes, embodied in Entity Level Controls, Process Controls, and General Computer Controls. These processes include review and approval activities of the financial information which are described in the processes of elaboration of individual accounts, preparation of consolidated accounts, and processing of consolidated financial statements.
EDPR has descriptions of Competency Profiles for the Positions to be carried out in the exercise of the main features of each position that includes a description of their main responsibilities. These include the descriptions of the key positions of those involved in the preparation of financial information. These descriptions include responsibilities in the preparation of financial information and compliance with internal control procedures.
The documentation of processes and associated controls designed include among others, the completion of closure activities by completing monthly closing checklists by entity, setting time limits for the closures, the identification of the relevance of the operations in order to be reviewed at the appropriate level, conducting analytical reviews of financial information, the existence of limitations in systems to prevent erroneous records or by unauthorized people, analysis of deviations from the budget, the analysis in the meetings of the Executive Committee of relevant and significant facts that could cause a significant impact on the accounts, or the allocation of responsibilities for calculating amounts to be provisioned for them to be carried out by authorized personnel with the right skills.
In addition to the mentioned processes, major transactional processes resulting from the scope are documented. The description of the activities and controls are designed with the aim of ensuring the registration, evaluation, appropriate presentation, and disclosure of transactions in financial reporting.
Control activities of EDPR's SCIRF also include those relating to systems and information technology (Computer General Controls) following an international reference, the COBIT framework (Control Objectives for Information and related Technologies). The importance of this area is that the information systems are the tools with which financial information is prepared, and is therefore, relevant for transactions conducted with them.
These control activities include those related to access control to applications and systems, segregation of duties, management of corrective and evolutive maintenance, new projects implementation, administration and management of the systems, facilities and operations (back-ups, security incidents), and their proper monitoring and planning. These activities are developed taking into account the requirements of control and supervision.
Among the activities of SCIRE's scope update, there is a periodic analysis of the existence of service providers that perform relevant activities in relation to the processes of preparing financial information.
EDPR Group decided to have its SCIRF audited by the external auditor as of December 315, 2012. The external auditor has included in the scope of their audit work, an opinion on the SCIRF of the EDPR Group, specific jobs regarding EDPR's SCIRF.
EDPR's risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning.
In EDPR's risk framework, risk process aims to link the company's overall strategy to manager's day-to-day decisions, enabling the company to increase the likelihood of achieving its strategic objectives.
EDPR's general strategy is translated into major strategic questions that are grouped by risk area and then subject to EDPR's risk process. The outcome of the risk process is a set of specific guidelines per risk area that will guide managers in their decisions according to the company's risk profile.

The administration, governance, and management of the company lies in the governing bodies of the Company (General Shareholders' Meeting, Board of Directors, and Executive Committee) and corresponds to the Board of Directors to establish the organization of the Company.
The Board of Directors sets limits regarding the allocation of powers of the Executive Committee, the CEO, and the Audit and Control Committee. It is also defined by the Board of Directors the guide lines to conduct transactions with third parties.
EDPR's Articles of Association in its Article 28 mentions that the Audit and Control Committee has, among other powers, the obligation to meet the internal control systems of the Company.
The Audit and Control Committee supervises the SCIRF in the scope of the exercise of their activities through the monitoring and supervision of the developed mechanisms for SCIRF's implementation, evolution and evaluation, and the results of the scope analysis and the extent of the situation in terms of coverage. For this purpose, the Audit and Control Committee is assisted by the Internal Audit Department.
EDPR has an Internal Audit Department that reports to the President of the Board of Directors and is overseen by the Audit and Control Committee as provided in the Basic Internal Audit Act.
The main functions of the Internal Audit Department are set out in the Basic Internal Audit Act which includes, among others, the evaluation activities of internal control systems including the internal control system over financial reporting.
The annual work plans of the Internal Audit Department are subject to the approval of the Audit and Control Committee.
Among these activities, Internal Audit supports the Audit and Control Committee in monitoring the implementation and maintenance of SCIRF and reports the results of the evaluation, the improvement actions identified, and their evolution.
The entity has action plans for the improvement actions identified in SCIRF's assessment processes, which are accompanied and supervised by the Internal Audit Department, considering their impact on the financial information.
Also in the year 2012, as in previous years, a process of selfcertification was made by the heads of the various process owners regarding proper documentation update on SCIRF controls and processes in their area of responsibility and the implementation of controls with corresponding evidence.
The auditor may communicate relevant issues arising from its financial audit work and any single internal control weaknesses identified in the course of their work. For this purpose, the auditor has summoned meetings with the Audit and Control Committee accompanying the results of their work usually once a year.
The reporting mechanism of the Internal Audit Department to senior management and the Audit and Control Committee is specified in the Basic Internal Audit Act, including the reporting of the results of their work.
Risk management in EDPR is supported by three distinct organizational functions.
| Risk functions | Description |
|---|---|
| Strategy / Profile |
· Responsible for setting guidelines and limits for risk management within the company · Attempts to clarify and support proposals related to general strategic issues |
| Management | · Responsible for day to day operational decisions and for related risk - taking, risk - mitigating positions |
| Controlling | · Responsible for follow up of the results of risk taking decisions and for contrasting alignment of operations with general risk policy approved by the executive committee |
EDPR's risk framework was designed to not be a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities and processes of the company, but to be part of the responsibilities of management as an integrating element of all organizational processes, including strategic planning.
In EDPR's risk framework, risk process aims to link the company's overall strategy to manager's day-to-day decisions, enabling the company to increase the likelihood of achieving its strategic objectives.
EDPR's general strategy is translated into major strategic questions that are grouped by risk area and then subject to EDPR's risk process.

All EDPR governing bodies and special committees have internal Regulations which are available to the public on the company's website at www.edprenovaveis.com.
The Chairperson of EDPR's Board of Directors does not have executive duties.
AREAS AND RISK RELATED STRATEGIC RISK QUESTIONS
The following list summarizes the main risk areas and descriptions of EDPR's business:
The development and profitability of renewable energy projects are subject to policies and regulatory frameworks. The jurisdictions in which EDPR operates provide numerous types of incentives that support the energy generated from renewable sources.
The European Union and various US federal and state bodies have regularly reaffirmed their desire to continue and strengthen support for renewable energy sources, although due to the financial difficulties that Governments are experiencing, remuneration schemes have become less competitive in some countries.
Therefore, it cannot be guaranteed that the current support will be maintained or that the electricity produced by future renewable energy projects will benefit from state purchase obligations, tax incentives, or other support measures for the electricity generation from renewable energy sources.
Regulation promoting green energy has been revised or is being under study in a large number of regions.
EDPR is managing its exposure to regulatory risks through diversification {being present in several countries) and by being an active member in several wind associations. Sensitivity analyses to updated regulatory scenarios are also performed.
EDPR faces limited market price risk as it pursues a strategy of being present in countries or regions with long term visibility on revenues. In most countries where EDPR is present, prices are determined through regulated framework mechanisms. In the markets where there is expected short term volatility in market prices, EDPR uses various financial and commodity hedging instruments in order to optimize the exposure to fluctuating electricity prices. However, it may not be possible to successfully hedge the exposures or there may be other difficulties in executing the hedging strategy.
In Europe, EDPR operates in countries where the selling price is defined by a feed-in-tariff (Spain, Portugal and France) or in markets where on top of the electricity price, EDPR receives either a pre-defined regulated premium or a green certificate, whose price is achieved on a regulated market (Spain, Belgium, Poland, and Romania). Additionally, EDPR is developing activity in Italy and UK where current incentive system is based on green certificates. Recently Italy changed to a feed in tariff from green certificates and UK is in process.
In North America, EDPR is focus on developing in states which have an RPS program in place, providing higher revenues visibility through the REC (Renewable Energy Credit) market and non-compliance penalties. The North American market does not provide a regulated framework system for the electricity price although it may exist for the RECs in some states. Most of EDPR's capacity in the US has predefined prices determined by long-term contracts with local utilities in line with the Company's policy of signing long-term contracts for the output of its wind farms.
In Brazilian operations, the selling price is defined through a public auction which is later translated into a long-term contract.
Under EDPR's global approach to optimize the exposure to market electricity prices, the Company evaluates on a permanent basis if there are any deviations to the defined limits (measured through EBITDA at risk), assessing in which markets financial hedges may be more effective to correct it. In 2012, in order to manage such exposure, EDPR financially hedged a significant part of its generation in Spain while in the US it closed a significant portion of its exposure through several power purchase agreements, long term hedges and financial swaps. Additionally, EDPR hedged part of the merchant generation in Poland and Romania.
The amount of electricity generated by EDPR from its wind farms, and therefore EDPR's profitability, is dependent on climatic conditions, which vary across the locations of the wind farms, and from season to season and year to year. Energy output at wind farms may decline if wind speed falls outside specific ranges, as turbines will only operate when wind speeds are within those ranges.
Variations and fluctuations in wind conditions at wind farms may result in seasonal and other fluctuations in the amount of electricity that is generated and, consequently, in the operating results and efficiency.
EDPR mitigates wind resource volatility and seasonality by having a strong knowledge in the design of its wind farms and through geographical diversification - in each country and in different countries ~ of its asset base. This "portfolio effect" enables EDPR to offset wind variations in each area and to keep the total energy generation relatively steady. Currently, EDPR is present in 11 countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil.
There exist financial products to hedge weather risk. EDPR is currently exploring the interest of contracting those products in specific cases.
EDPR is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates through financing. This risk can be mitigated by contracting fixed rates and financial instruments such as hedges and interest rate swaps.
Additionally, because of its presence in several countries, currency fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on the financial results. EDPR hedges against currency fluctuations by employing natural hedging strategies, and using hedging instruments such as forward foreign exchange contracts and Cross Interest Rate Swaps.
EDPR's hedging efforts minimize but don't eliminate the impact of interest rate and exchange rate volatility.
The evolution of the financial markets is analyzed on an ongoing basis in accordance to EDP Group's risk management policy approved by the EDPR`s Board of Directors.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the definition of general risk-management principles and the establishment of exposure limits based on the recommendation of the Risk Committee.
Taking into account the risk management policy and approved exposure limits, the Finance team identifies evaluates, and submits the financial strategy appropriate to each proiect/location for the Board's approval.
The purpose of the interest rate risk management policies is to reduce the exposure of long term debt cash flows from market fluctuations, mainly by contracting long term debt with a fixed rate, but also through the settlement of derivative financial instruments to swap from floating rate to fixed rate when long term debt is issued with floating rates.
EDPR has a portfolio of interest-rate derivatives with maturities ranging from 2 to 14 years. Sensitivity analyses of the fair value of financial instruments to interest-rate fluctuations are performed.
Given the policies adopted by EDPR Group, its financial cash flows are substantially independent from the fluctuation in interest rates.
EDPR operates internationally and is exposed to the exchange-rate risk resulting from investments in foreign subsidiaries. Currently, the main currency exposure is the U.S. dollar/euro currency fluctuation risk that results principally from our operations in the US. With the ongoing increasing capacity in others non-euro regions, EDPR is also exposed to different currencies in Poland, Romania, Brazil, United Kingdom and Canada.
EDPR's general policy is the Natural Hedging in order to match currency cash flows, minimizing the impact of changes in the exchange rate and preserving value. The essence of this approach is to create financial foreign currency outflows to match equivalent foreign currency inflows.
Counterparty risk is the default risk of third-parties in an agreement with EDPR either due to temporary liquidity issues or long term systemic issues.
EDPR's policy in terms of the counterparty credit risk on financial transactions is managed by an analysis of the technical capacity, competitiveness, credit notation and exposure to each counterparty. Counterparties in derivatives and financial transactions are restricted to high-quality credit institutions, therefore, there cannot be considered any significant risk of counterparty non-compliance and no collateral is demanded for these transactions.
Liquidity risk is the risk that EDPR will not be able to meet its financial obligations.
EDPR's strategy to manage liquidity is to ensure that it will have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to EDPR's

EDPR has a diversified financial structure composed of corporate debt and project finance, which. considers among other factors, financing cost, project ownership and project currency liquidity.
Finally, EDPR uses a financial model to forecast liquidity risk in the medium and long term to meet strategic targets previously set (EBITDA, debt ratio and others).
The wind turbine generator (WTG) is a key element in the development of EDPR's wind-related energy projects, as the shortfall or an unexpected sharp increase in WTG prices can create a question mark on new project's development and profitability. WTG represents on average 70 to 80% of a wind farm's capital expenditure.
EDPR faces limited risk to the availability and price increase of WTG´s due to the framework agreements with the major global wind turbines suppliers. The Company uses a large mix of turbines suppliers in order to diversify the wind turbine supply risk.
Wind farms are subject to strict regulations at different authority levels (international, national, state, regional and local) relating to the development, construction, grid interconnection and operation of power plants. Among other things, these laws regulate landscape and environmental aspects, building licenses, land use and land securing and access to the grid issues.
While level of exigency might be different depending on the geographies, we acknowledge a trend for legislations to align towards the most restrictive rules and development risks concentrating on the consenting (namely environmental and urbanistic aspects) and connection side.
In this context, the experience EDPR is able to gather in a certain country will be useful to anticipate and deal with future similar changes in other countries.
During the development and design phase, EDPR focuses on the optimization of its projects. By mastering the variables under our control, such as choice of locations, optimal layout, we intend to make our projects more resilient to an adverse external environment
EDPR mitigates this risk by generating optionality. by having development activities in 11 different countries (Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil) with a portfolio of projects in several stages of maturity. EDPR has a large pipeline located in the most attractive regions providing a "buffer" to overcome potential delays in the development of new projects, ensuring growth targets and being able to compensate permitting delays in some geographies with development efforts in others.
Wind farm output depends upon the availability and operating performance of the equipment necessary to operate it, mainly the components of wind turbines and transformers. Therefore, the risk is that the performance of the turbine does not reach its optimum thus leading to lower than expected value.
EDPR mitigates this risk by using a mix of turbine suppliers which minimizes technological risk, by signing a mediumterm full-scope maintenance agreement with the turbine supplier and by an adequate preventive and scheduled maintenance program.
Most recently, EDPR is externalizing non core technical O&M activities of its wind farms, while primary and value added activities continue controlled by EDPR.
The Board of Directors is vested with broad-ranging powers of administration, management, and governance of the Company without limitation, except for the powers specifically assigned to General Shareholders' Meeting in the Articles of Association or other applicable law.
A. In this regard, the Board is specifically empowered to:
justice of autonomous communities, without limitation, including the Court of Justice of the European Communities and in general before the public administration at all levels; intervening in. promoting, monitoring and concluding cases, trials and proceedings; consenting to rulings; filing appeals, including cassation appeals and other extraordinary appeals; desisting and agreeing, reaching settlement, compromising in arbitration proceedings, issuing notices and summonses and granting powers of attorney to solicitors and other proxies with the powers deemed necessary in each case, including general powers for legal proceedings and special powers as necessary; revoking such powers.
In order to guarantee that the common interests of the Company and those of its subsidiaries and group companies are properly served, the Board of Directors shall act at all times in coordination with those companies
B. Regarding the decisions to increase the share capital, the Board of Directors does not have this power but, subject to prior delegation from the General Shareholders' Meeting, would be able to decide the increase of the share capital. This delegation must comply with the law and the By-Laws.
On the other hand, the General Shareholders' Meeting may also delegate to the Board of Directors the power to implement an adopted decision to increase the share capital, indicating the date or dates of its implementation and establishing any other conditions that have not been specified by the General Shareholders' Meeting. The Board of Directors may use this delegation wholly or in part and may also decide not to perform it in consideration of the conditions of the Company, the market, or any particularly relevant events or circumstances that justify said decision, of which the General Shareholders' Meeting must be informed at the end of the time limit or limits for performing it.
The Nominations and Remunerations Committee, according to its Regulations, presents to the Board of Directors a proposal with the names of the candidates that the Committee considers having the best qualities to fulfill the role of Board Member. The Board of Directors presents the proposal at the General Shareholders' Meeting that will approve the proposal by majority for an initial period of three (3) years and may re-elect these members once or more times for further periods of three (3) years. Nonetheless, pursuant to Article 23 of the Articles of Association and 243 of the Spanish Companies Law. shareholders wishing so, may group their shares until they constitute an amount of capital equal or higher than the result of dividing it by the number of Directors and nominate those that, using only whole fractions, are deducted from the corresponding proportion. Those making use of this power cannot intervene in the nomination of the other members of the Board of Directors.
In case of a vacancy, pursuant to Article 23 of the Articles of Association and 243 of the Spanish Companies Law, the Board of Directors may co-opt people from the shareholders, who will occupy the position until the next General Shareholders' Meeting, which shall ratify the coopted Director.

According to the Spanish Law and the Spanish companies' practices, the daily management of the business is guaranteed by a Chief Executive Officer who is empowered to ensure the day-to-day management of the company. This type of organization is different from what occurs on the Portuguese companies in which a "conselho de administracão executivo" takes the assignment of areas of business and each executive director is responsible to and for an area of business.

Following the recommendations of CMVM, Article 12 of the Board of Directors regulations require that at least twentyfive percent (25%) of the Members of the Board have to be independent. Article 20.2 of EDPR's Articles of Association defines independent members of the Board of Directors as those that are able to perform their duties without being limited by relations with the company, its shareholders with significant holdings, or its Directors and comply with the other legal requirements.
In addition, pursuant to Article 23 of the Articles of Association, the following may not be Directors:
The Nominations and Remunerations Committee, according to its Regulations, presents to the Board of Directors a proposal with the names of the potential candidates that the Committee considers having the best qualities to fulfill the role of Board Member. The Board of Directors presents the proposal at the General Shareholders' Meeting where it will approved by the majority, for an initial period of three (3) years, and may re-elect them once or more times for further periods of three (3) years.

EDPR's Annual Management Report of 2012 includes a description of the activity taken out by the non-executive directors and possible constraints detected. With the mechanisms set forth in the regulations, non-executive Directors have encountered no difficulties in performing their duties. In 2012, the non-executive Directors were involved in the governance of EDPR not only by participating in meetings of the Board of Directors, where they gave their opinions on different company matters, made any suggestions they saw fit, and took decisions on matters submitted to them, but also by working on the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, on the Related-Party Transactions Committee, and the Audit and Control Committee, where all the members are non-executive with the exception of the Related-Party Transactions Committee, which has one executive Director, Mr. Nuno Maria Pestana de Almeida Alves.
Annex IV of the Report gives a brief description of the Directors' professional and academic careers.
The positions held by the members of the Board in the last five (5) years, those that they currently hold, and positions in Group and non-Group companies are listed in Annexes 1, II and III, respectively.
Also, the shares of EDPR owned by each Director are described in the table in Annex V.
Information as provided for in Chapters 11.20. to 11.23. of CMVM Regulation no. 1/2010 does not apply to EDPR. The governance model adopted by EDPR, as it is compatible with its personal law, corresponds to the so-called "Anglo-Saxon" model set forth in the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code. in which the management body is a Board of Directors, and the supervision and control duties are of the responsibility of an Audit and Control Committee.

The Audit and Control Committee is responsible for proposing to the Board of Directors for submission to the General Shareholders' Meeting the nomination of the Company auditors, the terms of their contracts, scope of their duties, and revocation and renewal of their contracts.
In order to protect the External Auditor independence, the following competences of the Audit and Control Committee were exercised during 2011:
In 2012, according to the Audit and Control Committee's competences and in line with Recommendations II.4.4 and 11.4.5, it was the first and direct recipient and the corporate body in charge of the permanent contact with the external auditor on matters that may pose a risk to their independence and any other matters related to the auditing of accounts. It also receives and stores information on any other matters provided for in legislation on audits and in auditing standards in effect at any time.
The Audit and Control Committee assessed the performance of the external auditor in providing the services hired by the Company and made a positive evaluation of their quality, considering that they meet applicable standards and that it is advisable to maintain the same auditor.
The work of the external auditor, including reports and audits of its accounts, was supervised and evaluated in accordance with applicable rules and standards, in particular international auditing standards. The external auditor in coordination with the Audit and Control Committee verifies the implementation of remuneration policies and the efficiency and functioning of internal control mechanisms. The external auditor reports to the Audit and Control Committee all the shortcomings.
Information as provided for in Chapters II.25. to II.28. of CMVM Regulation no. 1/2010 does not apply to EDPR. The governance model adopted by EDPR, as it is compatible with its personal law, corresponds to the so-called "Anglo-Saxon" model set forth in the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, in which the management body is a Board of Directors, and the supervision and control duties are of the responsibility of an Audit and Control Committee.
This information is available on chapter II.30.
Pursuant to Article 26 of the Company's Articles of Association, the remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors shall consist of a fixed amount to be determined by the General Shareholders Meeting for all the Directors and expenses for attending Board meetings.
The above mentioned article also establishes the possibility of the Directors being remunerated with Company shares, share options, or other securities granting the right to obtain shares or by means of share-indexed remuneration systems. In any case, the system chosen must be approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting and comply with current legal provisions.
The maximum remuneration approved by the General Shareholders Meeting in the previous fiscal vear, for all the members of the Board of Directors was EUR 2,500,000.
Pursuant to Article 26.4 of the Company's Articles of Association, the rights and duties of any kind derived from the condition of Board Member shall be compatible with any other rights and obligations either fixed or variable that could correspond to the Board Members as a consequence of other employment or professional engagements, if any, carried out in the Company. Variable remuneration resulting from said contracts or from any other relationship, including being a Board Member, will be limited to a maximum annual amount to be established by the General Shareholders' Meeting.
The maximum remuneration approved by the General Shareholders Meeting for the variable remuneration for all the members of the Board of Directors was EUR 600,000 per vear.
The Nominations and Remunerations Committee is responsible for proposing to the Board of Directors, although not bindingly, the system, distribution, and amount of remuneration of the Directors on the basis of the overall amount of remuneration authorized by the General Shareholders Meeting. The Committee can also propose to the Board of Directors the terms of the contracts with the Directors. The distribution and exact amount paid to each Director, the frequency and other details of the remuneration shall be determined by the Board of Directors based on the proposal presented by the Nominations and Remunerations Committee.
Additionally, this Committee defines the variable remuneration to be attributed to the Directors, with the purpose that it reflects the performance of each of the members in each year of their term of office (variable annual remuneration), and also their performance during their term of office establishing a variable component which is consistent with the maximization of the Company's long term performance (variable multi-annual remuneration for a threeyear period), thereby guaranteeing the alignment of the performance of the governing bodies with the interests of the shareholders.
The remuneration policy proposed by the Nominations and approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting on April 11th 2011 (the Remuneration Policy), defines a structure with a fixed remuneration for all members of the Board of Directors and a variable remuneration, with an annual component and a multi-annual component for the members of the Executive Committee.
For the period 2011-2013, it was decided to maintain the remuneration structure in terms of its components, as well as to keep the same nominal value of fixed annual component as the one in force during the 2009-2010 period, revising the KPI's (Key Performance Indicators) for variable multi-annual and annual components.
The remuneration of the members of the Board of Directors for the year ended on December 31st 2012 was as follows:

G) Mr. José Araújo e Silva remuneration reflects only some months of the year, as he renounced to the remuneration during the time he served in a State-owned Company.
According to the Executive Management Services Agreement signed with EDP as amended, EDPR is due to pay to EDP, for the services rendered by the Executive Managers and the Non-executive Managers; the amount due under said Agreement for the management services rendered by EDP in 2012 are: i) EUR 480,000, corresponding to the fixed remuneration of the Executive Managers, , plus the variable component according to the Remuneration Policy, plus the PPR percentage, and ii) EUR 90,000, corresponding to the fixed remuneration of the Non-Executive Managers.

A/Mr. Luis Adão da Fonseca resigned as member of the Board of Directors and consequently as member of the Executive Committee on September 215, 2012. The remuneration mentioned above corresponds to the months when he was still on duty.
The retirement savings plan for the members of the Executive Committee that are also Officers, acts as an effective retirement supplement with a range between 3% to 6% of their annual salary. The percentage is defined according with the retirement savings plan applicable in their home country.
Additionally, the Officers, with the exception of the CEO, also receive the following non-monetary benefits: company car. and those who are expatriated, have as benefits: housing allowance and education allowance for the children if applied, that together corresponds to EUR256,828.
The Directors do not receive any relevant non-monetary benefits as remuneration.
The remuneration of the Executive Committee is built in three blocks: fixed remuneration (40% of the total remuneration), annual (27% of the total remuneration) and multi-annual bonus (33% of the total remuneration).
The annual bonus is defined as a maximum of 68% of the annual salary, the multi-annual bonus is defined as a maximum of 102% of the annual salary and, both of them, are calculated based on the following indicators in each year of their term:
According to the Remuneration Policy approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting , the maximum variable remuneration (annual and multi-annual) is applicable if all the
above mentioned KPI's were achieved and the performance evaluation is equal or above 110%.
The remuneration of the Executive Committee Directors that are also Officers, with the exception of the CEO, was paid directly by EDPR while for the other members of the Executive Committee there hasn't been any direct payment to its members.
This corporate governance practice of remuneration is in line with the model adopted by the EDP Group, in which the executive Directors of EDP do not receive any remuneration directly from the group companies on whose governing bodies they serve, but rather through EDP.
Nonetheless, in line with the above corporate governance practice, EDPR has signed an Executive Management Services Agreement with EDP, under which the Company bears the cost for the render of those services corresponding to the remuneration defined for some of the members of the Board of Directors.
The non-executive Directors only receive a fixed remuneration, which is calculated on the basis of their work exclusively as Directors or cumulatively with their membership on the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, Related Party Transactions Committee, and the Audit and Control Committee.
EDPR has not incorporated any share remuneration or share purchase options plans as components of the remuneration of its Directors.
No Director has entered into any contract with the company or third parties that have the effect of mitigating the risk inherent in the variability of the remuneration established by the company.
In EDPR there aren't any payments for the dismissal or termination of Director's duties

(*) The fees of Portugal regarding the inspection of the Internal Control System (SCIRF) includes the Spanish subsidiaries in Spain (EUR20,000) and of EDPR NA (EUR 20,000) , as their invoices were issued in this country.
In EDPR there is a policy of pre-approval by the Audit and Control Committee for the selection of the External Auditor and any related entity for non-audit services, according to Recommendation III.1.5 of the Portuguese Corporate Governance Code. This policy was strictly followed during 2012.
The services, other than auditing services, provided to the Company by the External Auditor and entities in a holding relationship with or incorporated in the same network as the External Auditor were previously approved by the Audit Committee, upon review of each specific service, which considered the following aspects: (i) such services having no effect on the independence of the External Auditor and any safeguards used; and (ii) the position of the External Auditor in the provision of such services, notably the External Auditor's experience and knowledge of the Company.
Furthermore, although hiring services other than auditing services to the External Auditor is admissible, it is envisaged as an exception. In this way, as referred to above, in 2012 such services reached only around 5% of the total amount of services provided to the Company.
In order to safeguard the independence of the External Auditors, the following powers of the Audit Committee were exercised during the 2012 financial year and should be highlighted:
· Nominate and hire the External Auditors and responsibility for establishing their remuneration as well as pre-approval of any services to be hired from the External Auditors;
· Direct and exclusive supervision by the Audit Committee;
· Assessment of the qualifications, independence, and performance of the External Auditors, and obtaining, yearly and directly from the External Auditors, written information on all relations existing between the Company and the Auditors or associated persons, including all services rendered and all services in progress; in fact, the Audit Committee, in order to evaluate independence, obtained from the External Auditors information on their independence in light of article 62B of Decree-Law no. 224/2008 of 20 November 2008, which amends the articles of association of the Chartered Accountant Professional Association:
· Review of the transparency report, signed by the Auditor and disclosed at its website. This report covers the matters provided for under article 62A of Decree-Law no. 224/2008, including those regarding the quality control internal system of the audit firm and the quality control procedures carried out by the competent authorities:
· Definition of the Company's hiring policy concerning persons who have worked or currently work with the External Auditors:
· Review, with the External Auditors, of the scope, planning, and resources to be used in their services:
· Responsibility for the settlement of any differences between the Executive Committee and the External Auditors concerning financial information.
Within this context, it should be particularly stressed that External Auditor independence was safeguarded by the implementation of the Company's policy on pre-approval of the services to be hired to External Auditors (or any entity in a holding relationship with or incorporating the same network as the External Auditors), which results from the application of the rules issued by SEC on this matter. According to such policy. the Audit Committee makes an overall pre-approval of the services proposal made by the External Auditors and a specific pre-approval of other services that will eventually be provided by the External Auditors, particularly tax consultancy services and services other than "audit and audit related" services.
EDPR's External Auditor is, since the year 2007, KPMG Auditores S.L.. The external auditor is currently in its second mandate of three years, therefore there is still no need to rotate the auditor according to Recommendation III.1.3 of the Portuguese Corporate Governance Code.

ANNUAL REPORT 2012

KPMG Auditores S.L. Ventura Rodríguez. 2 33004 Oviedo
To the Board of Directors EDP Renováveis, S.A.
Further to your request and to our engagement letter dated 4 June 2012, we have audited the system of internal control over financial reporting of EDP Renováveis, S.A. (the Company) and subsidiaries (the Group) at 31 December 2012, based on the criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in relation with global business and control procedures, and with the COBIT Framework for IT Governance and Control. The Board of Directors of the Company and senior Group management are responsible for adopting the measures required to reasonably guarantee the implementation, maintenance and supervision of an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, assess its efficiency and make improvements to the system, as set forth in the report drawn up by Group management on the internal control over financial reporting system enclosed. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control over financial reporting system based on our audit.
An organisation's system of internal over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance that its annual financial reporting complies with the applicable financial reporting framework. It includes policies and procedures that are aimed at: (i) verifying the existence and maintenance of records that present fairly and in reasonable detail the Group's transactions and assets; (ii) providing reasonable assurance that transactions are adequately recorded so as to allow the Group to draw up consolidated annual accounts in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework; and (iii) providing reasonable assurance regarding the timely prevention or detection of asset additions or disposals or unauthorised use of Group assets that might have a material effect on the consolidated annual accounts. Due to the limitations inherent in any form of internal control system, irrespective of the quality of the design and operation of the internal control system adopted for annual financial reporting, this system can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance as to the objectives sought.
We have performed our audit in accordance with ISAE 3000 (International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000). This standard requires that we plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Group system of internal control over financial reporting is effective in all material aspects. Our audit included our gaining an understanding of the Group's internal control over the financial reporting system, verifying and evaluating, on a selective test basis, the design and operating efficiency of the system, and performing other procedures that we considered necessary under the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
KPMG Auditores S.L., a limited liability Spanish company, is a subsidiary of KPMG Europe LLP and a member firm of the KPMG network of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Cooperative ("KPMG International"), a Swiss entity
Reg. Mer Madrid, T. 11.961, F. 90, Sec. 8, H. M -188.007, Inscrip. 9
N.I.F. B-78510153 Due to the limitations inherent in any form of internal control system, there is always the possibility that internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect the errors or irregularities that might arise, whether due to errors in judgement, human error, fraud or malpractice. Extrapolating the effectiveness assessment to future years entails a risk that controls may cease to be adequate due to changing conditions or erosion in the levels of compliance with policies and procedures.
In our opinion, the Group's system of internal control for financial reporting at 31 December 2012 is effective in all material aspects, according to the criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in relation with global business and control procedures and the COBIT Framework for IT Governance and Control.
On 27 February 2013, in accordance with prevailing accounting legislation in Spain, we issued our audit report on the consolidated annual accounts of the Group for 2012, expressing an unqualified opinion thereon.
This report has been issued in accordance with your request. We accept no liability to any third parties other than the intended recipients of this report.

The board of directors and management are responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting (SCIRF).
The SCIRF of EDP Renováveis Group is a set of processes designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial information and the preparation of the consolidated annual accounts for external purposes, in accordance with the applicable financial information reporting framework.
Due to the limitations inherent to all internal control systems, it is possible that the system of internal control over financial reporting does not prevent or detect all errors that could occur and may only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the presentation and preparation of the consolidated annual accounts. Furthermore, extrapolating the effectiveness assessment to future years entails a risk that controls may cease to be adequate due to changing conditions or erosion in the level of compliance with policies and procedures.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the SCIRF at 31 December 2012 based on the criteria established in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
As a result of this assessment, and based on the aforementioned criteria, management concludes that at 31 December 2012 EDP Renováveis Group had an effective system of internal control over financial reporting.
The SCIRF of EDP Renovaveis Group at 31 December 2012 has been audited by the independent auditors KPMG Auditores, S.L., as indicated in their report included in the Annual Corporate Governance Report.
