Independent auditor´s report on the annual accounts
To the shareholders of EDP Renováveis, S.A.:
Report on the annual accounts
Opinion
We have audited the annual accounts of EDP Renováveis, S.A. (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as at December 31, 2020, and the income statement, statement of changes in equity, statement of cash flows and related notes for the year then ended.
In our opinion, the accompanying annual accounts present fairly, in all material respects, the equity and financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2020, as well as its financial performance and cash flows for the year then ended, in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework (as identified in note 2.A of the notes to the annual accounts), and, in particular, with the accounting principles and criteria included therein.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice in Spain. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the annual accounts section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the ethical requirements, including those relating to independence, that are relevant to our audit of the annual accounts in Spain, in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice. In this regard, we have not rendered services other than those relating to the audit of the accounts, and situations or circumstances have not arisen that, in accordance with the provisions of the aforementioned legislation, have affected our necessary independence such that it has been compromised.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the annual accounts of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the annual accounts as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
EDP Renováveis, S.A. 2
| Key audit matter 151 # Responsibility of the directors and the audit, control and related party transactions committee for the annual accounts
The Company´s directors are responsible for the preparation of the accompanying annual accounts, such that they fairly present the equity, financial position and financial performance of EDR Renováveis, S.A., in accordance with the financial reporting framework applicable to the entity in Spain, and for such internal control as the directors determine is necessary to enable the preparation of annual accounts that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the annual accounts, the Company´s directors are responsible for assessing the Company´s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless the directors either intend to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or have no realistic alternative but to do so. The audit, control and related party transactions committee is responsible for overseeing the process of preparation and presentation of the annual accounts.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the annual accounts
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the annual accounts as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice in Spain will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these annual accounts.
As part of an audit in accordance with legislation governing the audit practice in Spain, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional scepticism throughout the audit. We also:
x Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the annual accounts, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
x Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company´s internal control.
x Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the Company´s directors.
EDP Renováveis, S.A. 5
x Conclude on the appropriateness of the directors´ use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company´s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor´s report to the related disclosures in the annual accounts or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor´s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
x Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the annual accounts, including the disclosures, and whether the annual accounts represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
We communicate with the Company´s audit, control and related party transactions committee regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We also provide the Company´s audit, control and related party transactions committee with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements, including those relating to independence, and we communicate with the audit, control and related party transactions committee those matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards. From the matters communicated with the Company´s audit, control and related party transactions committee, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the annual accounts of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor´s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter.

EDPR 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Covid-19. Macroeconomic, regulatory, operating and accounting impact affecting stakeholders
SARS-COV-2, a virus that can cause a serious pneumonia-like respiratory infection in humans was identified for the first time in the Chinese city of Wuhan at the end of 2019. The disease caused by the virus COVID-19 was classified as a pandemic by the World Health Organization (WHO) in 2020. COVID-19 forced the entire world to change its habits and it is having several social, economic, regulatory, operating, accounting and public health impacts.
Macroeconomic impact
The current global Covid-19 pandemic crisis brings significant risks to the economy and society, and the duration of the epidemic and its long-term economic impacts continue to be uncertain. COVID-19 ha s impacted the EDPR Group’s business in its various geographic locations and areas of its value chain from an overall macroeconomic standpoint. However, a prudent strategy to hedge energy and financial market risks, maintaining solid levels of liquidity and the active management of critical suppliers and supplies resulted in a significant mitigation of the impacts of this crisis.# EDPR Group’s energy business has been affected by a decline in demand as a result of the lockdown, as well as a sharp decline in the prices obtained by the groupings in the various geographic locations that were partially seen a few months before the Covid-19 crisis in Europe but somewhat recovered at the end of the year. The high level of fixed price hedges within the price risk hedging strategy has allowed the EDPR Group to contain the impact of falling prices at its groupings in various geographic locations. There was a very significant increase in the volatility of exchange and interest rates in financial markets that gradually declined after the low point seen in March. While there has not been a significant increase in bad debts, there has been an increase in the credit risk exposure affecting electricity and GC hedges and a general deterioration of counterparty financial situations worldwide. Nevertheless, since the Group’s primary customers and counterparties are public utilities, regulated entities and regional market agents with a solid credit profile, this credit risk exposure has been minimal. As the main shareholder of EDPR, EDP has strengthened its financial situation and is applying adequate mitigation measures at the first signs of distress and is better prepared to absorb the potential impacts that may be caused by this pandemic.
Regulatory impact
A series of extraordinary urgent measures were approved and applied to respond to the epidemiological situation caused by the new Covid-19 virus in the various geographic locations in which EDPR is present.
Operating impact
EDPR operates a solid business model that puts its daily operations at reduced risk of retail prices, as can be seen in the 94% of revenue already contracted for 2021 in December 2020. The Company has suffered some interruptions in construction and the supply chain due to Covid-19, which led to a total of c.0.5 delays that did not have any impact on project fundamentals. These delays have been offset by the acquisition of +0.5 GW of the Viesgo renewable energy business and some projects in Brazil were brought forward.
Accounting impact
The EDPR Group reassessed the estimates that it considered pertinent and which could have been affected by this event in order to determine any possible accounting impact deriving from Covid-19. The EDPR Group analysed these pertinent estimates at 31 December 2020 and reached the conclusion that there were no significant accounting impacts resulting from the Covid-19 pandemic.
Stakeholders
EDPR implemented a Response Plan after the Covid-19 pandemic that focused on protecting employees and assisting local communities while minimising the impact on business continuity and the business plan. The Company therefore implemented protection measures focusing on anticipation and prevention and working to ensure the re-establishment of operations under safe conditions for everyone:
Employees
As a responsible company, EDPR quickly adopted measures to minimise the conditions under which the virus propagates by focusing on personal health and maintaining essential operating services. EDPR implemented travel restrictions in February, took measures involving those that had recently been in affected areas and distributed hand sanitiser at its facilities. EDPR activated its Contingency Plan at the beginning of March supported by the two recently launched pilot projects to work from home one day per week, and visits to its facilities were restricted while employees were continually informed of any updates to the situation and of instructions to follow in the event of a positive or possible infection. Employees continued to have the option of working from home or gradually returning to facilities at the end of the year, in accordance with a Reopening Plan based on geographic locations in order to guarantee the highest health and safety standards for everyone, while complying with legal limitations and social distancing. EDPR was even able to continue contracting and maintaining promotions, actions and training sessions during the global crisis by adapting processes to the current situation. All recruiting and onboarding processes were adapted to take place via interactive meetings and EDPR increased its payroll by 20% in 2020 compared to the previous year. EDPR implemented several initiatives to promote work-life balance that focused mainly on family, time and health while sharing multiple tips on health, well-being and working from home on its intranet throughout the year. The challenges imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic on training and development programmes were successfully overcome by redesigning and adapting training content and sessions to virtual formats and on-line learning. Finally, despite the global pandemic, there was a slight increase in the number of secondment processes in 2020 compared to the preceding year.
Communities
Covid- 19 has altered everyone’s life and daily routines. In this unprecedented situation, EDPR launched a solidarity campaign that distributed more than €1 million in assistance and establishes initiatives in all of its markets to help local communities combat the pandemic and to recover from the socio-economic crisis. EDPR assisted vulnerable populations by making donations to food banks, acquiring medical equipment, devices and quick testing kits while facilitating on-line learning and digital education materials. The Company provided assistance in the 15 countries in which it maintains a presence: Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Italy, Poland, Romania, Greece, Brazil, Colombia, United States, Canada and Mexico, as well as in Mozambique and Nigeria through the A2E - Energy Access programme. EDP R’s response to the global crisis is in line with its commitment to maintaining a close relationship with local communities, seeking to understand, respect and support their needs while helping improve society’s living conditions.
EDPR 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
01. Nature and activities of the company

The Company also incorporated a subsidiary in Canada in 2010, called EDP Renewables Canada, Ltd. In 2019 and 2020 the Company acquired the Colombian companies, Eolos Energía S.A.S. E.S.P., Vientos del Norte S.A.S. E.S.P. and Solar Power Solutions S.A.S.E.S.P. and in 2020 it incorporated EDPR Vietnam to develop its projects in those countries.
02. Basis of presentation
A) True and fair view
The annual accounts for 2020 have been prepared on the basis of the accounting records of EDP Renováveis, S.A., in accordance with prevailing legislation and the Spanish General Chart of Accounts to give a true and fair view of the equity and financial position at 31 December 2020 and results of operations, changes in equity, and cash flows for the year then ended. The directors consider that the accompanying individual annual accounts for 2020, authorised for issue on 23 February 2021, will be approved with no changes by the shareholders at their annual general meeting.
B) Comparative information
The balance sheet, income statement, statement of changes in equity, cash flow statement and the notes thereto for 2020 include comparative figures for 2019, which formed part of the 2019 annual accounts approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 26 March 2020.
C) Functional and presentation currency
The figures disclosed in the annual accounts are expressed in thousands of Euros, the Company's functional and presentation currency.
D) Critical issues regarding the valuation and estimation of relevant uncertainties and judgements used when applying accounting principles
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. A summary of the items requiring a greater degree of judgement or which are more complex, or where the assumptions and estimates made are significant to the preparation of the annual accounts, is as follows:
12 EDPR 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Relevant accounting estimates and assumptions
The Company tests investments in Group companies for impairment on an annual basis. Impairment is calculated by comparing the carrying amount of the investment with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. The Company generally uses cash flow discounting methods to calculate these values. Cash flow discounting calculations are based on projections in the budgets approved by management. The cash flows take into consideration past experience and represent management's best estimate of future market performance. The key assumptions employed when determining fair value less costs to sell and value in use include growth rates in accordance with best estimates of rises in electricity prices in each country, the weighted average cost of capital and tax rates. The estimates, including the methodology used, could have a significant impact on values and impairment loss. In certain cases, when estimating impairment of such investments, the investee's equity is taken into consideration, corrected for any net unrealised gains existing at the measurement date. The fair value of financial instruments is based on market quotations when available. Otherwise, fair value is based on prices applied in recent, similar transactions in market conditions or on evaluation methodologies using discounted future cash flow techniques, considering market conditions, time value, the profitability curve and volatility factors. These methods may require assumptions or judgements in estimating fair value.
Recording and recovery of deferred tax assets. The recording and recoverability of deferred tax assets is assessed when they are generated and subsequently at each statement of financial position reporting date in accordance with expected taxable income/tax loss. The Company also takes into account future tax obligations constituting the recovery of such assets.
Changes in accounting estimates
Although estimates are calculated by the Company's directors based on the best information available at 31 December 2020, future events may require changes to these estimates in subsequent years. Any effect on the annual accounts of adjustments to be made in subsequent years would be recognised prospectively.
03. Allocation of profit/(loss)
The proposed allocation of 2020 profit to be submitted to the shareholders for approval at their annual general meeting is as follows:
| EUROS | BASIS OF ALLOCATION: | DISTRIBUTION: |
|---|---|---|
| Profit for the year | 1,388,573,084.60 | |
| Voluntary reserve | Legal reserve | |
| 138,857,308.46 | ||
| Dividends | ||
| 69,784,652.96 | ||

Profit recognised directly in equity cannot be distributed, either directly or indirectly.
04. Significant accounting policies
A) Foreign currency transactions, balances and cash flows
Foreign currency transactions have been translated into Euros using the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies have been translated into Euros at the closing rate, while non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at historical cost have been translated at the exchange rate prevailing at the transaction date. In the cash flow statement, cash flows from foreign currency transactions have been translated into Euros at the exchange rates at the dates the cash flows occur. The effect of exchange rate fluctuations on cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies is recognised separately in the cash flows statement as Effect of exchange rate fluctuations. Exchange gains and losses arising on the settlement of foreign currency transactions and the translation into Euros of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are recognised in profit or loss.
B) Intangible assets
Computer software is measured at purchase price and carried at cost, less any accumulated amortisation and impairment. Computer software is amortised by allocating the depreciable amount on a systematic basis over its useful life, which has been estimated at five years from the asset entering normal use. Capitalised personnel expenses of employees who install computer software are recognised as Self-constructed assets in the income statement.
Computer software acquired and produced by the Company, including website costs, is recognised when it meets the following conditions:
- Payments attributable to the performance of the project can be measured reliably.
- The allocation, assignment and timing of costs for each project are clearly defined.
- There is evidence of the project's technical success, in terms of direct operation or sale to a third party of the results thereof once completed and if a market exists.
- The economic and commercial feasibility of the project is reasonably assured.
- Financing to develop the project, the availability of adequate technical and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the resulting intangible asset are reasonably assured.
- There is an intention to complete the intangible asset for its use or sale.
Computer software maintenance costs are charged as expenses when incurred.
C) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost of acquisition. Property, plant and equipment are carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment. Property, plant and equipment are depreciated by allocating the depreciable amount of an asset on a systematic basis over its useful life. The depreciable amount is the cost of an asset, less its residual value. The Company determines the depreciation charge separately for each component of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the asset and with a useful life that differs from the remainder of the asset.
14 EDPR 2020 ANNUAL REPORT# Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the following criteria:
| DEPRECIATION METHOD | ESTIMATED YEARS OF USEFUL LIFE |
|---|---|
| Other installations | Straight-line 10 |
| Furniture | Straight-line 10 |
| Information | Straight-line 4 |
| technology equipment |
D) Financial instruments
Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through changes in profit and loss
This category includes the derivative financial instruments described in note 11, which 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
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
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 before 1 January 2010 includes any transaction costs incurred. Investments in Group companies denominated in foreign currencies covered by hedges of net investments in foreign operations are updated to reflect exchange rate fluctuations (see note 4 L). Investments in Group companies acquired through a non-monetary contribution from another Group company are measured at the pre-transaction value in the consolidated accounts.
Non-monetary contributions in exchange for investments in the equity of other companies
In non-monetary contributions of businesses (including investments in Group companies) to other Group companies, equity investments received are measured on the transaction date at the carrying amount of the company in the consolidated accounts. Gains or losses deferred in recognised income and expense associated with the assets and liabilities conveyed continue to be recognised in equity but are linked to the investment received.
Interest and dividends
Interest is recognised using the effective interest method. Dividends from investments in equity instruments are recognised when the Company is entitled to receive them. If the distributed dividends unequivocally originate from the profits generated prior to the acquisition date, they reduce the carrying amount of the investment. Pursuant to request ruling number 2 issued by 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 gains 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.
Derecognition of financial assets
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 of financial assets
Impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost
The amount of the impairment loss of financial assets carried at amortised cost is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows (excluding future credit losses that have not been incurred) discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate. The impairment loss is recognised in profit and loss and may be reversed in subsequent periods if the decrease can be objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment has been recognised. The loss can only be reversed to the limit of the amortised cost of the assets had the impairment loss not been recognised.
Investments in Group companies
Impairment is calculated by comparing the carrying amount of the investment with its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of value in use and fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is calculated based on the Company's share of the present value of future cash flows expected to be derived from ordinary activities and from the final disposal of the asset.
The carrying amount of the investment includes any monetary item that is receivable or payable for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, excluding trade receivables or trade payables. In subsequent years, reversals of impairment losses in the form of increases in the recoverable amount are recognised, up to the limit of the carrying amount that would have been determined for the investment if no impairment loss had been recognised. The recognition or reversal of an impairment loss is recorded 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
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.
Derecognition of financial liabilities
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.
Fair value
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.
E) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand and demand deposits in financial institutions. They also include other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. An investment normally qualifies as a cash equivalent when it has a maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition. The Company classifies current accounts with Group companies under this heading if they are considered to be cash-pooling accounts when there is a debit balance. If not, they are recorded under current payables with Group companies and associates. The Company recognises cash payments and receipts for financial assets and financial liabilities in which turnover is quick on a net basis in the statement of cash flows. Turnover is considered to be quick when the period between the date of acquisition and maturity does not exceed six months.
F) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present obligation (legal, contractual, constructive or tacit) as a result of a past event; it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation; and a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation.
The amount recognised as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account all risks and uncertainties surrounding the amount to be recognised as a provision and, where the time value of money is material, the financial effect of discounting provided that the expenditure to be made each period can be reliably estimated. The discount rate is determined before taxes, taking into consideration the time value of money, as well as the specific risks that have not been included in the future cash flows relating to the provision at each closing date. The financial effect of the provisions is recognised as a financial expense in the income statement. If it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle an obligation, the provision is reversed.
G) Revenue from sales and services rendered
Revenue from the sale of goods and the rendering of services is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable. Discounts, as well as the interest added to the nominal amount of the consideration, are recognised as a reduction in the consideration. Revenues associated with the rendering of services are recognised in the income statement by reference to the stage of completion at the reporting date when revenues, the stage of completion, the costs incurred and the costs to complete the transaction can be estimated reliably and it is probable that the economic benefits derived from the transaction will flow to the Company.
H) Income tax
The income tax expense or tax income for the year comprises current tax and deferred tax.# Current tax assets or liabilities
Current tax assets or liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be paid to or recovered from the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted at the reporting date. Current and deferred tax are recognised as income or an expense and included in profit or loss for the year, except to the extent that the tax arises from a transaction or event which is recognised, in the same or a different year, directly in equity, or from a business combination.
The Company files consolidated tax returns as part of the 385/08 group headed by EDP Energías de Portugal, S.A. Sucursal en España. In addition to the factors to be considered for individual taxation, set out previously, the following factors are taken into account when determining the accrued income tax expense for the companies forming the consolidated tax group:
- temporary and permanent differences arising from the elimination of profits and losses on transactions between Group companies, derived from the process of determining consolidated taxable income.
- deductions and credits corresponding to each company forming the consolidated tax group.
For these purposes, deductions and credits are allocated to the company that carried out the activity or obtained the profit necessary to obtain the right to the deduction or tax credit. Temporary differences arising from the elimination of profits and losses on transactions between tax group companies are allocated to the company which recognised the profit/loss and are valued using the tax rate of that company. A reciprocal credit and debit arises between the companies that contribute tax losses to the consolidated Group and the rest of the companies that offset those losses. Where a tax loss cannot be offset by the other consolidated Group companies, these tax credits for loss carryforwards are recognised as deferred tax assets using the applicable recognition criteria, considering the tax group as a taxable entity.
18 EDPR 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
The Parent of the Group records the total consolidated income tax payable (recoverable) with a debit (credit) to receivables (payables) from/to Group companies and associates. The amount of the debt (credit) relating to the subsidiaries is recognised with a credit (debit) to payables (receivables) to/from Group companies and associates (see note 19).
Taxable temporary differences
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.
Deductible temporary differences
Deductible temporary differences are recognised provided that it is probable that sufficient taxable income will be available against which the deductible temporary difference can be utilised, or when tax legislation envisages the possibility of converting deferred tax assets into a receivable from public entities in the future. The Company recognises the conversion of a deferred tax asset into a receivable from public entities when it becomes enforceable in accordance with prevailing tax legislation. For this purpose, the deferred tax asset is derecognised with a charge to the deferred tax expense and the receivable is recognised with a credit to current tax. The Company recognises the payment obligation deriving from financial contributions as an operating expense with a credit to payables to public entities when it is accrued in accordance with the Spanish Income Tax Law. Nonetheless, assets arising from the initial recognition of 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, are not recognised.
In the absence of evidence to the contrary, it is not considered probable that the Company will have future taxable profit when the deferred tax assets are expected to be recovered in a period of more than ten years from the end of the reporting period, irrespective of the nature of the deferred tax asset; or, in the case of tax credits for deductions and other tax relief that are unused due to an insufficient amount of total tax, when there is reasonable doubt - after the activity or the income giving rise to entitlement to the deduction or tax credit has been rendered or received, respectively - as to whether the requirements for their offset will be met.
The Company only recognises deferred tax assets arising from tax loss carryforwards when it is probable that future taxable profit will be generated against which they may be offset within the period stipulated in applicable tax legislation, up to a maximum period of ten years, unless there is evidence that their recovery in a longer period of time is probable and tax legislation provides for their utilisation in a longer period or stipulates no time limit for their utilisation. Conversely, it is considered probable that the Company will generate sufficient taxable profit to recover deferred tax assets when there are sufficient taxable temporary differences relating to the same taxation authority and the same taxable entity, which are expected to reverse in the same tax period as the expected reversal of the deductible temporary differences or in periods into which a tax loss arising from a deductible temporary difference can be carried back or forward. The Company recognises deferred tax assets not previously recognised because they were not expected to be utilised within the ten-year recovery period, inasmuch as the future reversal period does not exceed ten years from the end of the reporting period or when there are sufficient taxable temporary differences. Tax planning opportunities are only considered when assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets and if the Company intends to use these opportunities or it is probable that they will be utilised.
19 Measurement
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the years when the asset is realised or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantially enacted. The tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets or liabilities are also reflected in the measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities. For these purposes, the Company has considered the deduction for reversal of the temporary measures provided in transitional provision thirty- seven of Income Tax Law 27/2014 of 27 November 2014 as an adjustment to the tax rate applicable to the deductible temporary difference associated with the non-deductibility of amortisation and depreciation charges in 2013 and 2014.
Classification
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in the statement of financial position under non-current assets or liabilities, irrespective of the expected date of recovery or settlement.
I) Classification of assets and liabilities as current and non-current
The Company classifies assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position as current and non-current. 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 12 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 12 months after the reporting date.
- liabilities are classified as current when they are expected to be settled in the Company's normal operating cycle, they are held primarily for the purpose of trading, they are due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date or the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
- financial liabilities are classified as current when they are due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date, even if the original term was for a period longer than 12 months, and an agreement to refinance or to reschedule payments on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting date and before the annual accounts are authorised for issue.
J) Environmental issues
Environmental assets
Non-current assets acquired by the Company to minimise the environmental impact of its activity and to protect and improve the environment, including the reduction and elimination of future pollution from the Company's activities, are recognised as property, plant and equipment in the balance sheet at purchase price or cost of production and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.
Environmental expenses
Environmental expenses are the costs derived from managing the environmental effects of the Company's operations and existing environmental commitments. These include expenses relating to the prevention of pollution caused by ordinary activities, waste treatment and disposal, decontamination, restoration, environmental management or environmental audit. Expenses derived from environmental activities are recognised as operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
20 EDPR 2020 ANNUAL REPORT
Environmental provisions
The Company makes an environmental provision when expenses are probable or certain to arise but the amount or timing is unknown. Where necessary, provision is also made for environmental actions arising from any legal or contractual commitments and for those commitments acquired for the prevention and repair of environmental damage.
K) Related party transactions
Transactions between Group companies are recognised at the fair value of the consideration given or received.L) Hedge accounting
Derivative financial instruments which qualify for hedge accounting are initially measured at fair value, plus any transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, or less any transaction costs directly attributable to the issue of the financial instruments. The Company undertakes fair value hedges and hedges of net investments in foreign operations. At the inception of the hedge the Company formally designates and documents the hedging relationships and the objective and strategy for undertaking the hedges. Hedge accounting is only applicable when the hedge is expected to be highly effective at the inception of the hedge and in subsequent years in achieving offsetting changes in fair value or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk, throughout the period for which the hedge was designated (prospective analysis), and the actual effectiveness is within a range of 80%-125% (retrospective analysis) and can be reliably measured. The Company hedges net investments in foreign operations in relation to its investment in the Group companies EDP Renewables North America, LLC., EDP Renováveis Brasil S.A. and EDP Renewables Canada, Ltd.
M) Hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation
The Company hedges the foreign currency risk arising from investments in Group companies denominated in foreign currency. The portion of gains or losses on the hedging instrument or on the exchange rate of the monetary item used as the hedging instrument is recognised as exchange gains or losses in the income statement. Gains or losses on investments related to the underlying foreign currency amount in the annual accounts are recognised as exchange gains or losses in profit and loss.
N) Grants, donations and bequests
Grants, donations and bequests are recorded in recognised income and expense when, where applicable, they have been officially awarded, the conditions attached to them have been met or there is reasonable assurance that they will be received. Monetary grants, donations and bequests are measured at the fair value of the sum received, whilst non-monetary grants, donations and bequests received are accounted for at fair value. In subsequent years, grants, donations and bequests are recognised as income as they are applied.
O) Long- and short-term employee benefits
The Company recognises the expected cost of profit-sharing and bonus plans when it has a present legal or constructive obligation to make such payments as a result of past events and a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.
P) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets or disposal groups whose carrying amount will be largely recovered through a sale transaction instead of recognised at the value in use are recognised under this heading. In order for non-current assets or disposal groups to be classified as held for sale, they must be available for disposal in their current condition, exclusively subject to the usual terms and conditions of sale transactions, and the disposal must also be deemed to be highly probable. Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are not amortised or depreciated, and are recorded at their carrying amount or fair value, whichever is lower, less costs to sell. The Company recognises initial and subsequent impairment losses on assets classified in this category in the income statement under results of continuing operations.

Additions in 2019 mainly reflect the work to improve and modernise the Company's headquarters carried out during the year. The Company has taken out insurance policies to cover the risk of damage to its property, plant and equipment. The coverage of these policies is considered sufficient. Fully depreciated property, plant and equipment amount to Euros 1,953 thousand at the 2020 reporting date (Euros 852 thousand in 2019) and comprise information technology equipment and furniture. At 31 December 2020 and 2019 the Company has no commitments to purchase property, plant and equipment.
07. Risk management policy
A) Financial risk factors
The Company's activities are exposed to various financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk, and cash flow interest rate risk. The Company's global risk management programme focuses on uncertainty in the financial markets and aims to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company's profits. The Company uses derivatives to mitigate certain risks. The directors of the Company are responsible for defining general risk management principles and establishing exposure limits. The Company's financial risk management is subcontracted to the Finance Department of EDP - Energías de Portugal, S.A. in accordance with the policies approved by the Board of Directors. The subcontracted service includes the identification and evaluation of hedging instruments. All operations involving derivative financial instruments are subject to prior approval from the board of directors, which sets the parameters of each operation and approves the formal documents describing the objectives of the operation.
Currency risk
The Company operates internationally and is therefore exposed to currency risk when operating with foreign currencies, especially with regard to the US Dollar, the Brazilian Real, the Canadian Dollar and the Polish Zloty. Currency risk is associated with recognised assets and liabilities, and net investments in foreign operations. The Company holds investments in group companies that are denominated in foreign currency, which are therefore exposed to exchange-rate risk at year- and when translating those amounts into the Company’s functional currency (euro). Currency risk affecting these investments is mitigated primarily through derivative financial instruments and borrowings in the corresponding foreign currencies. Details of hedged financial assets and the derivative financial instruments obtained to hedge them are provided in notes 8 and 11. Details of financial assets and liabilities in foreign currencies and transactions in foreign currencies are provided in notes 8, 10.11, 17 and 22.
Credit Risk
The Company is not significantly exposed to credit risk as the majority of its balances and transactions are with Group companies. As the counterparties of derivative financial instruments are Group companies, and the counterparties of their derivative financial instruments are highly solvent banks, the Company is not subject to significant counterparty default risk. Guarantees or other derivatives are therefore not requested in this type of operation. The Company has documented its financial operations in accordance with international standards. The majority of its operations with derivative financial instruments are therefore contracted under "ISDA Master Agreements", which facilitate the transfer of instruments in the market. The total amount of financial assets subject to credit risk is shown in note 10.
Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will be unable to comply with its financial commitments on maturity. The Company's approach in managing liquidity risk is to guarantee as far as possible that liquidity will always be available to pay its debts before they mature, in normal conditions and during financial difficulties, without incurring unacceptable losses or compromising the Company's reputation. The directors have estimated cash flows which show that the Company will meet existing commitments at 2020 year end and those expected for 2021. Compliance with the liquidity policy ensures that contracted commitments are paid, maintaining sufficient credit facilities. The EDP Renováveis Group manages liquidity risk by arranging and maintaining credit facilities with its majority shareholder, or directly with domestic and international entities in the market, under optimal conditions, to ensure access to the financing required to continue its activities. Details of financial assets and financial liabilities by contractual maturity date are provided in notes 10 and 17.# Cash flow and fair value interest rate risks
In 2020 and 2019 the Company does not have a considerable amount of interest-bearing assets and as a result, income and cash flows from operating activities are not significantly affected by fluctuations in market interest rates. Interest rate risk arises from non-current borrowings, which are extended by Group companies. The loans have fixed interest rates, mitigating the risk of interest rate volatility. Details of hedged financial assets and the derivative financial instruments obtained to hedge them are provided in notes 8 and 11.

During 2020 the Company recorded the 50% interest held in the company Ocean Winds Offshore, S.L. (formerly called EDPR Offshore España, S.L.) in the amount of Euros 18,628 thousand. At 31 December 2019, the Company recognised this investment in non-current assets held for sale (see note 12).
Testing for impairment in investments in equity instruments
Testing for impairment in investments in equity instruments is carried out annually. For operational wind farms, the recoverable amount is determined using the value in use. Shareholder discounted cash flows were used to carry out this analysis. This method is based on the principle that the estimated value of an entity or business is defined by its capacity to generate future financial resources, assuming that these resources can be withdrawn from the business and distributed among the Company's shareholders, without compromising the continuation of the activity. The amount was therefore based on free cash flows generated by each company's business, less appropriate discount rates and net debt. The projection period for future cash flows is the useful life of the assets (30 years), which is in line with the current amortisation method. Cash flows also include long-term operating contracts and long-term estimates of energy prices, provided that the asset carries market prices risk.
The following main assumptions are used for testing impairment:
- Energy produced: the wind studies carried out are used to determine the net capacity factors used for each farm, which take into account the long-term predictability of wind production and that wind energy production is supported in almost all countries by regulations that allow priority production and supply whenever weather conditions allow.
- Electricity remuneration: approved or contracted remuneration has been applied when available with regards the companies that benefit from regulated remuneration or that have signed agreements to sell their predetermined production over the entire useful life of the asset or a part of it; when this option was not available, prices were calculated using price curves projected by the company using its experience, internal models and external information sources.
- New capacity: tests were based on the best information available about the wind farms expected to be built in the coming years, adjusted by the likelihood that the planned projects will be completed successfully and by the company's growth prospects based on the objectives in the business plan, historical growth and projections of market size. Tests took into account the contracted and expected prices for acquiring turbines from several suppliers.
- Operating costs: contracts entered into for land leases and maintenance agreements were used; other operating costs were projected in a manner consistent with the company's internal models and experience.
- Residual value: residual value is taken as 15% of the initial investment in each wind farm, taking inflation into consideration.
- Discount rate: the following discount rates used are after taxes and they reflect the EDPR Group's best estimate of the specific risks:
| 2020 | 2019 | |
|---|---|---|
| Europe (EUR) | 3.5%-6.0% | 3.1%-5.8% |
| North America (USD) | 4.9%-7.1% | 4.9%-6.3% |
| Brazil (USD) | 8.5%-10.2% | 8.8%-10.4% |
| Colombia (USD) | 8.2% | - |
EDPR has performed the following sensitivity analyses on the results of the affected impairment tests.
- 10% reduction in the market prices used in the reference scenario. This sensitivity analysis performed independently for such an assumption does not assume any impairment.
- Increase in the discount rate used in the reference scenario of 100 base points.This sensitivity analysis performed independently for such an assumption does not assume any impairment. During 2020 the company reversed the measurement adjustment that it had recorded with respect to its interest in Ocean Winds Offshore, S.L. totalling Euros 3,103 thousand and recorded income under the impairment and profit/(loss) on the disposal of shareholdings heading in the income statement. Furthermore, no impairment has been recognised as a result of the tests performed during 2020 and 2019.
Foreign currency
The functional currencies of foreign operations are the currencies of the countries in which they are domiciled. These are primarily the US Dollar, the Canadian Dollar and the Brazilian Real.

Green recovery COVID-19 is not only a global pandemic and public health crisis; it has also severely damaged the global economy and financial markets.# ANNUAL REPORT EDPR 2020
However, it has also boosted the climate movement and the sense of urgency in climate action, leading to bolder commitments from countries all around the world. We are now at a pivotal moment, as national governments are designing stimulus packages to revive their economies. The recovery from COVID-19 is showing a new will to set ambitious mitigation targets, which can strengthen the case for accelerating the transition to a climate-neutral society. Low carbon policies can not only mitigate climate and health risks, but also reactivate the world economy. In this context, renewables must be at the heart of rebuilding policies as they are the cheapest generating alternative in most countries, while they can also stimulate the economy by creating “green” jobs, ensuring energy security and saving money from fossil fuel imports. Demand for “Green recovery” is materializing in different ways, including more ambitious emission and renewable targets. In December 2020, the world celebrated the 5th anniversary of the Paris Agreement and the United Nations hosted an important summit in which 75 countries announced new commitments, with 24 pledging to reach carbon neutrality. In Europe, the Green Deal announced in December 2019 is at the heart of the EU’s strategy to drive the economic recovery from the COVID-19 pandemic, in particular through the so- called “Next Generation EU”, a €750 billion recovery instrument announced in May 2020. Around 30% of the €750 billion fund will be used to support decarbonization, in addition to the €1 trillion previously announced by the Green Deal. Additionally, several EU Member countries are announcing national recovery plans, some of which have substantial green components. In parallel, EU leaders agreed in December 2020 to cut the bloc’s net emissions by at least 55% by 2030, compared to 1990 levels, increasing considerably from its previous level of 40%. To achieve this, the European Commission (EC) is preparing its “Fit for 55 Package” of proposal s, an umbrella term for all the revisions and initiatives linked to the 55% emission reduction target. The Renewable Energy Directive will need to be reviewed, to align the current “at least 32% renewable target by 2030” with the new 55% emission reductio n target. In the US, president Joe Biden signed on its first day of mandate an executive order to reinstate the US to the Paris Climate agreement, which highlights the urgency of tackling climate change. In 2020, many countries have also adopted net zero emission targets by 2050. As of today, at least 8 countries have already put the commitment into law (Norway, Denmark, New Zealand, the UK, Hungary, Germany, Sweden and France), while others, like the EU have proposed the legislation (under the EU Green Deal) and are awaiting ratification. Together, net zero commitments so far represent nearly 50% of global CO2 emissions and 50% of global GDP, which could increase importantly if the US were to join as well, in line with current President Biden recent announcement. Other large economies are also considering to becoming carbon neutral, like Japan and South Africa (in 2050) or China (in 2060). Companies have also shown a growing environmental awareness in 2020, despite the severe turmoil caused by the global pandemic. According to the analysis by the non-profit global Climate-Disclosure Project platform (CDP), the number of major companies who’ve disclosed their environmental impact and committed to reducing it increased 14% in 2020.
96 ANNUAL REPORT EDPR 2020
The evolution of renewables around the world in 2020
Wind
Global wind additions are likely to witness considerable growth in 2020¹, with analysts² forecasting around 60-72 GW of new capacity, vs 60.4 GW in 2019. For example, according to the latest market outlook published by the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC), wind could increase as much as 71.3 GW in 2020, despite the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. However, as China announced in January 2020 the staggering figure of nearly 72 GW of wind additions in 2020 (nearly tripling the amount of capacity in 2019), worldwide wind additions are now expected to be much higher, probably around 100-112 GW³. All forecasts highlight wind industry resilience during the pandemic crisis. Despite that national lockdowns led to a slowdown of construction activity (essentially caused by supply chain disruptions and logistical challenges) in the first half of the year, deployment accelerated in the second half. The offshore wind sector has also proved to be resilient. According to preliminary data, around 6.9 GW could have been connected, around 4 GW in China, and 2.9 GW in Europe. In Europe, the wind industry experienced disruptions in the first semester but total additions were nevertheless comparable to previous years. According to Wind Europe, 3.9 GW of onshore wind facilities were connected in the first six months of the year, slightly over the average of the previous three years (3.7 GW) while offshore installations were slightly below the three-year average (1.2 GW in 2020 vs 1.5 GW in 2017-2019). Overall, preliminary results are particularly encouraging considering that wind installations are typically higher in the second half of the year, mainly due to the strongest activity in summer months, suggesting that total 2020 additions could easily surpass the 10 GW threshold (Wind Europe expects around 14 GW). In 2020, wind power contributed to 15% of Europe’s total electricity generation, its highest -ever share, according to a report released by Enappsys Ltd. In the US, developers commissioned 16.9 GW of new onshore wind capacity, far more than the previous record of 13.2 GW in 2012, according to the American Clean Power Association. This is partly explained by the rush of wind developers to connect their projects before the phase-out of the full value of the US production tax credit (PTC) at the end of 2020. China remained the undisputed world’s wind power leader, adding 71.6 GW of wind energy, more than double the previous record (29.4 GW in 2025) according to the National Energy Administration (NEA). Despite challenges posed by COVID-19 pandemic, developers in China were rushing to complete projects before the phase-out of the current remuneration scheme. It has been a particularly good year for offshore wind installations as it is estimated that around 3.5-4 GW of offshore wind facilities have been added. However, given astonishing total figure of 71.6 GW (that includes both onshore and offshore facilities), offshore additions could be much higher. After this surge of new installations, China may become the largest offshore wind operator worldwide in 2020 or 2021 the latest.
Solar PV
Solar PV grew robustly around the world in 2020 despite the turmoil caused by the COVID-19 crisis. Although final data are still being collected, experts points out that around 106-132 GW of new facilities could have been connected in 2020⁴. Therefore, 2020 final figure is expected to be in line with 2019 data (108 GW) or, more likely, above. In Europe, 18.2 GW of solar PV capacity was added, up 11% from the 16.2 GW installed in 2019, according to Solar Power Europe. With this surge in new installations, the European solar PV industry proved its resilience during the coronavirus pandemic as 2020 was the second-best year for installations, only behind 2011 when 21.4 GW were installed. Over the past 12 months, Germany led the way with 4.8 GW of new installations, followed by 2.8 GW in the Netherlands and 2.6 GW in Spain. Poland more than doubled its additions to 2.2 GW, and France installed 0.9 GW.
1 At the time of preparation of this report, data from the Global Wind Wnergy Council (GWEC), the American Wind Energy Association (AWEA) or Wind Europe, have not been released.
2 Experts consulted include: GWEC, IHS markit, bloomberg new energy finance, international energy agency, wood mackenzie, IEA, wind europe and US energy information administration, among others.
3 Most of the experts consulted had forecast that China would install around 30 GW of wind in 2020, therefore, 40 GW below the final figure.
4 Experts consulted included: BNEF, IHS, Wood Mackenzie, IEA, The Solar Energy Industries associations (SEIA) among others.
97
In the US, utility-scale solar additions more than doubled from 2019 levels, as 11,158 MW were connected in 2020, according to the Energy Information Administration (EIA). With those additions, there are now more than 47 GW of solar PV operating in the US, enough to power 11 million American homes. China remains the largest market. According to the National Energy Administration, the country added 48 GW of solar PV additions, exceeding all expectations. This figure largely surpasses the 30.1 GW added in 2019, although it remains below the 2017 record of 52.8 GW.
Strategy
Since its inception, EDPR has been performing a strategy focused on selective growth, by investing in quality projects with predictable future cash-flows and seamless execution, supported by core competences that yield superior profitability, all embedded within a distinctive and self-funding model designed to accelerate value creation. As a result of undertaking such strategy, at the same time flexible enough to accommodate changing business and economic environments, EDPR remains today a leading company in the renewable energy industry. EDPR’s strategy is supported by its three main pillars:

6. Own Shares
As of December 2020, EDPR did not hold own shares and no transactions were made during the year.
7. Risk Management
The Company's activities are exposed to various financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and fair value interest rate risk), credit risk, liquidity risk, and cash flow interest rate risk. The Company's global risk management programme focuses on uncertainty in the financial markets and aims to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company's profits. The Company uses derivatives to mitigate certain risks. The Directors of the Company are responsible for defining general risk management principles and establishing exposure limits. The Company's financial risk management is subcontracted to the Finance Department of EDP - Energias de Portugal, S.A. in accordance with the policies approved by the Board of Directors. The subcontracted service includes the identification and evaluation of hedging instruments. All operations involving derivative financial instruments are subject to prior approval from the Board of Directors, which sets the parameters of each operation and approves the formal documents describing the objectives of the operation.
Currency risk
The Company operates internationally and is therefore exposed to currency risk when operating with foreign currencies, especially regarding the US Dollar, the Brazilian Real, the Canadian Dollar and the Polish Zloty. Currency risk is associated with recognised assets and liabilities, and net investments in foreign operations. The Company holds investments in Group companies denominated in a foreign currency, which are exposed to exchange rate risk at closing translate such amounts into the company´s functional currency (euro). The exchange rate risk on these investments is managed mainly through derivative financial instruments and through borrowings denominated in the related foreign currencies.
Credit risk
The Company is not significantly exposed to credit risk as the majority of its balances and transactions are with Group companies. As the counterparties of derivative financial instruments are Group companies, and the counterparties of their derivative financial instruments are highly solvent banks, the Company is not subject to significant counterparty default risk. Guarantees or other derivatives are therefore not requested in this type of operation.# PART I

EDPR has not established any mechanism that may intend to cause mismatching between the rights to receive dividends or the subscription of new securities and the voting right of each common share, and has not adopted mechanisms that hinder the passing of resolutions by shareholders, including fixing a quorum for resolutions greater than that provided by the law.
II. Management and supervision
A) Composition
15. Corporate Governance model
EDPR is a Spanish Company listed in a regulated stock exchange in Portugal. The corporate organisation of EDPR is subject to its personal law and to the extent possible, to the recommendations contained in the Corporate Governance Code of the Instituto Português de Corporate Governance (“IPCG”), resulted as of the Protocol signed on October 13th, 2017 between the Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários (“CMVM” – Portuguese Securities Market Commission) and the IPCG, which was last reviewed in July 2020.This governance code is available at the IPCG website. As such, the Company intends to comply with both legal systems but always taking into account that its personal law is the Spanish one, and that in case of discrepancy, the aim is to adopt the law that entails more protectionism for its shareholders. The governance structure of EDPR is the one applicable under its personal law, that comprises a General Shareholders’ Meeting and a Board of Directors that represents and manages the Company. Additionally, with the purpose of adapting this structure to the extent possible to the Portuguese legislation, parallelly seeks to correspond it 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 organisation and functioning of EDPR corporate governance model aims to achieve the highest standards of corporate governance, business conduct and ethics referenced on the best national and international practices. In line with its governance model above referred, and as detailed along topics 15 - 29 of this Chapter 5 of the Annual Report and contemplated in the law and Articles of Association of the Company, as of December 31 st , 2020, EDPR does not have a Supervisory Board, but its Board of Directors has set up three Delegated Committees entirely composed by Members of the Board of Directors: the Executive Committee, the Audit, Control and Related-Party Transactions Committee and the Nominations and Remunerations Committee. This structure and its functioning, enables a fluent workflow between all levels of the governance model, as: i) each of the Delegated Committees shall report the decisions taken to the Board of Directors (drafting the minutes of each of the meetings and also providing whatever further clarification is required by the Board), and ii) as the committees Members are also members of the Board, all of them will also receive the complete information at Board of Directors level (as convening of the meetings, supporting documents and related minutes) in order to take the corresponding decisions; and all in all, thus ensuring in time and manner the access to all the information to the whole Board of Directors in order to appraise the performance, current situation and perspectives for the further development of the Company. The General Secretary constitutes the focal point in charge of the centralization of the reception and management of all the information and documents to be provided to the different Governing Bodies. This information is prepared by the different departments of EDPR, with the support when necessary of external experts, and always managed in a strictly confidential basis. Additionally, the corresponding duties and functioning procedures for the Governing Bodies (including but without limitation, the performance of their functions, their Chairmanship, periodicity of meetings, their functioning and the duties of their members) have been defined at the Articles of Association and Board of Directors and Delegated Committees Regulations (which are published at the website of the Company), with the aim of ensuring the adequacy in terms of time and manner of the elaboration, management and access to the information in order to procced at each level with the corresponding acknowledgements and decisions. In line with the above, the General Secretary sends the notices and supporting documents of the topics to be discussed in each meeting of the Board and of each of its committees to their proper discussion during the meeting. Additionally, the minutes of all meetings are drawn and also circulated. 115 The governance model of EDPR was designed to ensure the transparent and meticulous separation of duties, management and the specialization of supervision, through the following governing bodies: • General Shareholders’ Meeting • Board of Directors • Executive Committee • Audit, Control and Related Party Transactions Committee The experience gained operating the Company through this structure indicates that the governance model approved by EDPR shareholders, and adopted in EDPR, is the most appropriate in line with the corporate organisation of its activity, especially because it affords transparency and a healthy balance between the management and the supervisory functions. The links of the Company Website that refers to the information of the Governing Bodies and its regulations are indicated in topics 59-65 of this Chapter 5 of the Annual Report.
16. Rules for the nomination and replacement of directors
According to Article 29.5 of the Company’s Articles of Association, the Nominations and Remunerations Committee is empowered by the Board of Directors to propose, advise and inform the Board regarding the appointments (including by co- option), re-elections, removals and remuneration of the Board Members, as well as the composition of the committees of the Board. This committee also advises on the appointment, remuneration and dismissal of top management officers. As also referred in the Company Articles of Association (Article 21) the term of office of the Board Members shall be of three (3) years, and may be re-elected once or more times for equal periods. Following the best Corporate Governance practices, EDPR has analyzed and discussed about the possible criteria applicable in the selection of the new members of its Governing Bodies. As a conclusion, the Nominations and Remunerations Committee and the Board of Directors resolved at their meetings held on November 2 nd , 2016, and December 14 th , 2016 respectively, to take into account among others the following: the education, experience in the energy sector, integrity and independence, having a proven expertise, and the diversity that such candidate may provide to the related body.

18. Executive, Non-Executive and Independent Members of the Board
The independence of the Directors is evaluated according to the Company’s personal law, and annually confirmed by each of the corresponding Directors through the signature of an independence declaration. Likewise, EDPR Board of Directors Regulations, and Article 20.2 its Articles of Association, defines independent Directors as those who are able to perform their duties without being limited by relations with the Company, its significant Shareholders, or its management officers and comply with the other legal requirements. Corporate Governance recommendations of the IPCG Code state that the number of non-executive directors should be higher than the number of executive directors, and that at least one third over the total members shall be non-executive members that also comply with the independence criteria. To this extent, and provided that the independence criteria applicable to EDPR Directors are the ones established under its personal law, from a total of fifteen (15) positions that composed of EDPR’s Board of Directors as of December 31 st , 2020, there was one (1) vacant and fourteen (14) Directors out of which nine (9) were non- executive, being five (5) of them also independent.
In accordance with the law and pursuant the last amendment of Articles of Association, it has been established that Non- Executive Directors can only be represented in the Board meetings by other Non- Executive Director. As such, it has been concluded that the composition of the Board and its Delegated Committees is suitable for the size of the company and the complexity of the risks intrinsic to its activity mainly considering that enables a separation of duties, management and specialization of supervision at the same time that the non-executive and independent directors take part in all the decisions also at the Board of Directors level. Should be noted to this extend that the Board of Directors is composed by a majority of non-executive members, and being balanced the number of executive and independent; and that the Audit, Control and Related Party Transactions Committee and the Nominations and Remunerations Committee, are entirely composed by non- executive and independent members.
Spanish law, Regulations of the Board of Directors and Company Articles of Association regulate the criteria for the incompatibilities with the position of Director. Specifically, Article 23 of the Articles of Association, establish that the following can not be Directors:
- Those who are directors of or are associated with any competitor of EDPR, or have family relations with them. In this respect a Company shall be considered as a competitor of EDPR, whenever it is engaged, if it is directly or indirectly involved in the production, storage, transport, distribution, marketing or supply of electricity or fuel gas; or also if has interests opposed to those of EDPR, or to the ones of any competitor or any of the companies in its group, and the Board members, employees, lawyers, consultants, or representatives of any of them. Under no circumstances shall companies belonging to the same group as EDPR, including abroad, be considered competitors;
- Those who are in any other situation of incompatibility or prohibition under the law or EDPR’s Articles of Association. Under Spanish law, among others, are not allowed to be Directors those who are underage – under eighteen (18) years - and were not emancipated, disqualified, competitors, convicted of certain offences, or that hold certain management positions.
The prevention and avoidance of the conflict of interest in the performance of the duties of the Directors of EDPR is regulated in line with the terms contained in article 229 of the Spanish Companies Law and implemented in article 28.3 of the Board of Directors Regulations, which is also applicable to the committees under article 12 of their respective regulations. This article states that in case any direct or indirect conflict of interest arose, it shall be communicated to the Board of Directors, being the Director involved obliged to abstain from intervening in the corresponding operation. Additionally, all the Board Members (and hence those of its Delegated Committees, as they are entirely composed by Members of the Board) shall annually sign an statement declaring their compliance with the terms of the requirements stated under article 229 of the Spanish Companies Law, and their commitment to notify any variation in the information declared under the statement as soon as it may occur, in order to fully comply with the loyalty duty and avoid any interference or irregularity in any decision-making process.

Likewise, the Risk Management System is closely followed and supervised by the Audit, Control and Related Party Transactions Committee, an independent supervisory body composed of non executive members that reports to the Board of Directors, in charge, among others, of the monitorization of the compliance and progresses of the Risk Management Plan and possible improvements to the measures and controls for mitigating potential risks identified within EDPR. Market, counterparty, operational, business and strategic risks are identified and assessed and, following the result of the assessment, Risk Policies are defined and implemented across the company. These policies are aimed to mitigate risks without compromising potential opportunities, thus, optimizing return versus risk exposure. In 2020, EDPR updated the Enterprise Risk Management Framework following Risk Committees discussions in order to update of risk limits for the NI@Risk metric, following the recent growth of the company. During 2020, EDPR updated its view on the sustainability of RES policies in the geographies where the Company is present and in new potential geographies. This deep-dive analysis was performed within the scope of the Country Risk Policy. EDPR carried out a review of historical capex deviations for projects in both Europe & Brazil and North American platforms, with the aim of improving the accuracy of Capex contingencies to be included in the modelling of future projects. Finally, an updated methodology for EBITDA@Risk and NI@Risk was approved, through a bottom-up calculation allowing for a closer and more intuitive monitoring of the different risks.

53. Risk Map
Risk Management at EDPR is focused on covering all risks of the company. In order to have a holistic view of risks, they are grouped in Risk Categories, which are Market, Counterparty, Operational, Business and Strategic. The definition of Risk Categories at EDPR is as follows:
- Market Risk – It refers to the risk to EDPR resulting from movements in market prices. Due to the relationship between wind production and energy price, production risk is considered within market risk. In particular, market risk are changes in energy prices, production, interest rates, foreign exchange rates, inflation and commodity prices (other than energy);
- Counterparty Risk (credit and operational) – Risk that counterparty to a transaction could default before final settlement of the transaction’s cash flows. A direct economic loss would occur if transactions with the counterparty had positive economic value at the time of default. Even in the case of not defaulting, it may not comply with its contract obligations (timing, quality, etc.), implying additional higher costs due to its replacement or to delays in fulfilling the contract;
- Operational Risk (other than counterparty) – Defined as the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events (such as an increase in equipment default rates, increasing O&M, or natural disasters), including the effect of a loss created by not being able to ensure business continuity;
- Business Risk – Potential loss in the company’s earnings due to adverse changes in business margins. Such losses can above all from a serious increase in equipment prices or changes in the regulatory environment. Changes in electricity prices and production are considered market risks;
- Strategic Risk – It refers to risks coming from macroeconomic, political, social or environmental situation in countries where EDPR is present, as well as those coming from a change in competitive landscape, from technology disruptions, from changes in energy markets or from governance decisions (investment decisions criteria, Corporate Governance and Reputational issues).
Within each Risk Category, risks are classified in Risk Groups.
1. Market Risk
i) Energy price risk
EDPR faces limited electricity 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 those countries with no regulated tariffs, power purchase agreements are negotiated with different off-takers to eliminate electricity and Green Certificate or Renewable Energy Credit (REC) price risks. Despite EDPR’s strategy of eliminating market price risk, EDPR still has some plants with merchant exposure. In Europe, EDPR operates in countries where the selling price is defined by a feed-in-tariff (Portugal, France and Italy) 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). EDPR is also developing projects in the UK and in Greece, under contract for differences remuneration schemes. In countries with a predefined regulated premium or a green certificate scheme, EDPR is exposed to electricity price fluctuations. Considering current Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) in place, EDPR is exposed to electricity price risk in Romania, in Poland, in Belgium and partially in Spain. Additionally, in European countries with a green certificate scheme (Romania, Belgium and Poland), EDPR is exposed to fluctuation on the price of green certificates. The US market does not provide a regulated framework system for the electricity price. Nevertheless, renewable generation is incentivized through PTCs (Production Tax Credits) and regional Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) programs that allow 139 receiving RECs for each MWh of renewable generation. REC prices are very volatile and depend on the regional supply/demand equilibrium in the relevant market. Most of EDPR’s capacity in the US has predefined prices determined by bundled (electricity + REC) long-term contracts with local utilities in line with the Company’s policy of avoiding electricity price risk. Despite existing long term contracts, some EDPR’s plants in the US do not have PPA and are selling merchant with exposure to electricity and REC prices. Additionally, some plants with existing PPAs do not sell their energy where it is produced and are therefore exposed to basis risk (difference in price between the location where energy is produced and that where energy is sold). In Ontario (Canada), the selling price is defined by a long-term feed-in-tariff, thus, there is no electricity price exposure. In Brazilian and Colombian operations, the selling price is defined through a public auction which is later translated into a long-term contract. Electricity price exposure is almost null, with little exposure for the production above or below the contracted production. Under EDPR’s global approach to minimize the exposure to market electricity prices, the Company evaluates on a permanent basis, if there are any deviations to the pre-defined limits (measured through EBITDA at risk, Net Income at risk and total merchant exposure). EDPR intends to eliminate Green Certificates and REC price risk with the signing of bundled PPAs with private off-takers, which include the sale of the electricity and the Green Certificate or REC. In some cases, the off-taker may be interested in contracting only the Green Certificate or the REC, thus a GCPA (Green Certificate Purchase Agreement) or a RECPA (REC Purchase Agreement) is signed. In those geographies with remaining merchant exposure, EDPR uses various commodity-hedging instruments in order to minimize the exposure to fluctuating market prices. In some cases, due to the lack of liquidity of financial derivatives, it may not be possible to successfully hedge all existing merchant exposure, after considering PPAs in place. In 2020 EDPR had financially hedged most of its remaining merchant exposure in Poland, Romania, Spain, Brazil and the US, mitigating any potential impact from COVID-19 pandemic. As aforementioned, some US plants have exposure to REC price risk and/or basis risk (difference in electricity price between locations). EDPR hedges REC prices through forward sales and basis exposures through financial swaps or FTR (Financial Transmission Rights).
ii) Energy Production Risk
The amount of electricity generated by EDPR’s renewable plants is dependent on weather conditions, which vary across locations, from season to season and from year to year. Variation on the amount of electricity that is generated affects EDPR’s operating results and efficiency.# ANNUAL REPORT EDPR 2020
Not only the total wind or solar production in a specific location is relevant, but also the profile of production. Wind usually blows more at night than at daytime, when energy prices are lower and the opposite for solar. Generation profile will affect the discount or add-on in price of a plant versus a baseload generation. Finally, curtailment of a plant will also affect its production. Curtailment occurs when the production of a plant is stopped by the TSO (Transmission System Operators) for external reasons to the Company. Examples of cases of curtailment are upgrades in transmission lines or exceptional congestion (high level of electricity generation for available transmission capacity). EDPR mitigates wind and solar resource volatility and seasonality through geographical diversification of its asset base in different countries and regions. EDPR acknowledges the correlation between different plants in its portfolio that allows for this geographical diversification, which enables EDPR to partially offset production variations in each region and to keep the total energy generation relatively steady. Currently, EDPR is present in 14 countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, Italy, UK (no generation), Greece (no generation), Colombia (no generation), US, Canada, Brazil and Mexico. 140 ANNUAL REPORT EDPR 2020 Nevertheless, 2020 was a year with generation slightly below the one initially forecasted. EDPR continues to analyze the potential use of financial products to hedge wind risk and might use this product to mitigate risk in specific cases. Profile risk and curtailment risk are managed ex-ante. For every new investment, EDPR factors the effect that expected generation profile and curtailment will have on the output of the plant. Generation profile and curtailment of EDPR’s plants are constantly monitored by EPDR’s Risk department to detect potential future changes.
1. iii) Risks related to financial markets
EDPR finances its plants through project finance or corporate debt. In both cases, a variable interest rate might imply significant fluctuations in interest payments. On the other hand, due to EDPR’s presence in several countries, revenues are denominated in different currencies. Consequently, exchange rate fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on financial results or on the value of the foreign investment.
1. iii) a) Interest rate risk
Given the policies adopted by EDPR Group, current exposure to variable interest rate is not significant and financial cash flows are substantially independent from the fluctuation of interest rates. The purpose of interest rate risk management policies is to reduce the exposure of long-term debt cash flows to market fluctuations, mainly by contracting long term debt with a fixed rate. When long-term debt is issued with floating rates, EDPR settles derivative financial instruments to swap from floating to fixed rate. EDPR has a portfolio of interest-rate derivatives with maturities of up to 14 years. Sensitivity analyses of the fair value of financial instruments to interest-rate fluctuations are periodically performed. With most of interest rate being fixed, main exposure to interest rates arises at refinancing. To protect against this risk, EDPR intends to maintain a balanced maturity profile for its corporate fixed debt, thus, diversifying the risk of bad timing when refinancing occurs. Repricing calendar of debt is continuously monitored together with interest rates in order to detect good timing for restructuring debt. Taking into account risk management policy and approved exposure limits, Global Risk Area supports the Finance team in interest rate hedging decisions and the Finance team submits the financial strategy appropriate to each project/location for Executive Committee’s approval.
1. iii) b) Exchange rate risk
EDPR has international operations and is exposed to the exchange-rate risk resulting from investments in foreign subsidiaries. Currency exposure in operating plants is to U.S. dollar, Romanian leu, Polish zloty, Brazilian real, British pound, Canadian dollar and Colombian pesos. In addition, EDPR has a marginal fiscal exposure to MXN due to Mexican assets. EDPR hedges risk against currency fluctuations by financing in the same currency as the revenues of the project. When local financing is not available, EDPR hedges debt cash flows though cross currency interest rate swaps. EDPR also hedges net investment (investment after deducting local debt) in foreign currency through cross currency interest rate swaps. Finally, EDPR contracts foreign exchange forwards to hedge the risk in specific transactions, mainly in payments to suppliers which may be denominated in different currencies. 141 EDPR’s hedging efforts minimize exchange rate volatility, but do not eliminate completely this risk due to high costs associated to hedging FX in certain situations.
1. iii) c) Inflation risk
In specific projects, regulated remuneration is linked to inflation. Additionally, O&M costs are considered to be linked to inflation in most cases. Exposure to inflation in revenues may be naturally hedged with exposure to interest rates and EDPR regularly analyses inflation exposure and its relationship with interest rates to adjust level of interest rate coverage in project finance structures. Exposure to inflation in O&M costs is managed at the moment of the investment decisions, by executing sensitivity analyses.
iii) d) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of EDPR not meeting its financial obligations. Liquidity risk is mainly related to extreme market movements in electricity prices, interest rates, exchange rates or credit markets, which may change the expected cash flow from revenues, opex, margin calls or funding (due to credit downgrades). EDPR tracks liquidity risk in the short term (margin calls, etc.) and in the long term (financing sources) in order to meet strategic targets previously set (EBITDA, debt ratio and others). EDPR’s strategy to manage liquidity risk is to ensure that its liquidity is sufficient to meet financial liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, and without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to EDPR’s reputation. Different funding sources are used such as Tax Equity investors, commercial banks, multilateral organisations, corporate debt and asset rotation in order to ensure long-term liquidity to finance planned projects and working capital. The Directors have estimated cash flows that show that the Group will meet the commitments existing at the close of the 2020 financial year and those foreseen for 2021.
1.iv) Commodity price risk (other than energy)
In projects in which there is a significant number of years between investment decision and start of construction, EDPR may be exposed to the price of the materials used in turbine manufacturing, foundations and interconnection through escalation formulae included in the contracts with suppliers. In order to manage this risk, EDPR may hedge the market exposure in OTC/future commodity markets, considering the risks (potential losses) and the cost of the hedge.
2. Counterparty Risk
Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty to a transaction could default before the final settlement of the transaction’s cash flows. An economic loss could occur, either a direct economic loss if the transaction has a positive value at the moment of default (counterparty credit risk) or a replacement cost due to change of the counterparty (counterparty operational risk).
2. i) Counterparty Credit Risk
If the transactions or portfolio of transactions with the counterparty has a positive economic value at the time of default, an economic loss would occur. To control credit risk at EDPR, thresholds of Expected Loss and Unexpected Loss are established at company level as defined under Basel Standards and re-evaluated monthly. If the threshold is surpassed by the company as a whole, mitigation measures are implemented in order to remain within the pre-established limit. 142 ANNUAL REPORT EDPR 2020 Additionally, Expected Loss limits are established for each individual counterparty or Group of counterparties (parent and subsidiaries).
2.ii) Counterparty Operational Risk
If the transactions or portfolio of transactions with the counterparty do not have a positive economic value at the time of default, it will impact operations. Despite no direct loss at the time of default, the replacement of the counterparty could imply a cost to EDPR due to potential delays, higher contract value with a new counterparty (replacement costs), etc. Construction and O&M subcontractors are counterparties to which EDPR is exposed from an operational point of view. To minimize the probability of incurring in potential replacement costs with counterparties, EDPR´s policy concerning counterparty operational risk is managed by an analysis of the technical capacity, competitiveness, credit quality and replacement cost of the counterparty.
3. Operational Risk
Operational risk is the risk of loss resulting from inadequate or failed internal processes, people and systems or from external events (such as an increase in equipment default rates, increasing O&M, or natural disasters). Moreover, it includes the risk of the business being disrupted due to internal or external causes (such as a pandemic, cyberattack or IT systems malfunctioning), affecting business continuity.
3. i) Development Risk
Renewable plants 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.# EDPR ANNUAL REPORT 2020
3. Risks
ii) Execution Risk
During the construction of the foundations, interconnection and substation of a plant, and the installation of the equipment, different events (bad weather, accidents, etc.) might occur that could imply an over cost or a delay in the commercial operation date of the plant:
- The delay implies a postponement of cash flows, affecting profitability of the investment.
- When a plant has a PPA, a delay of the commercial operation date might imply the payment of LDs, with the consequent loss of revenues and the impact on annual financial results.
During the design phase, EDPR engineering teams supervise the engineering and the installation method. Construction is subcontracted to technically capable construction companies.
In both cases, a critical path analysis is performed to assess the reliability of construction and installation plan. Also, collaterals may be required to the counterparty following EDPR’s Counterparty Risk Policy.
iii) Operation Risk
Damage to Physical Assets Risk
Renewable plants in construction and in operation are exposed to weather hazards, natural disasters, etc. These risks depend on the location. All plants are insured the physical damage during construction and operation. During operation, any natural disaster, weather hazard or accident will be partially insured to revenue losses due to the event.
Equipment Performance Risk (O&M costs)
Output from renewable plants depends upon the operating availability of the equipment. EDPR mitigates this risk by using a mix of suppliers which minimizes technological risk, avoiding exposure to a unique manufacturer. EDPR also engages suppliers through medium-term full-scope maintenance agreements during the first years of operation to ensure alignment with supplier in minimizing technology risk. Finally, for older plants, EDPR has created an Operation and Maintenance (O&M) program with an adequate preventive and scheduled maintenance program. EDPR externalizes non-core technical O&M activities of its renewable plants, while primary and value added activities continue to be controlled by EDPR.
iv) Information Technology Risk
IT (Information Technologies) risk may occur in the technical network (information network for plants operation) or in the office network (information network of corporate services: ERP, accounting…) EDPR mitigates this risk creating redundancy of servers and control centers of renewable plants. Redundancy is created in a different location to anticipate potential natural disasters, etc.
v) Legal claims Risk (compliance, corruption, fraud)
EDPR faces potential claims of third parties, corruption and fraud of its employees. EDPR has implemented an internal “Code of Ethics” and an Anticorruption Policy where the company commits to comply with legal obligations in every community where EDPR is established. Additionally, the company Ombudsperson receives all the complaints sent through the “Code of Ethics” channel and decides the appropriate procedure for each one of them. An anticorruption mailbox is also available to report any questionable practice.
vi) Personnel Risk
EDPR identifies four main risk factors regarding personnel: turnover, health and safety, human rights, and discrimination, violence or behavior against human dignity.
- Turnover: A high turnover implies direct costs of replacement and indirect costs of knowledge loss. EDPR mitigates turnover through constant reassessment and benchmarking of remuneration schemes in different geographies. Additionally, EDPR offers flexibility to its employees to improve work life balance. In 2020, EDPR was elected as “Top Employer” in Spain by the Top Employers Institute.
- Health and safety: EDPR has deployed an H&S management system, complying with OHSAS 18001, pursuing the “zero accidents” target.
- Human rights: EDPR has committed, through its “Code of Ethics”, to respect international human rights treaties and best work practices. All counterparties which sign a contract with EDPR are committed to respect EDPR’s “Code of Ethics”.
- Discrimination, violence or behavior against human dignity: EDPR forbids any kind of discrimination, violence or behavior against human dignity, as stated in its “Code of Ethics”. Strict compliance is enforced, not only through the reporting channel of the Ombudsperson, but also through constant awareness from all employees of the company.
vii) Processes Risk
Internal processes are subject to potential human errors that may negatively affect the outcome. Internal Audit Department regularly reviews internal processes and recommends the establishment of new controls or the improvement in the implementation of existing procedures. Moreover, business continuity is ensured by a Global Crisis Plan, which defines the procedure to follow for each level of crisis and frames individual emergency plans at activity or asset level.
4. Business Risk
i) Regulatory Risk (renewables)
The development and profitability of renewable energy projects are subject to policies and regulatory frameworks. The jurisdictions in which EDPR operates provide different types of incentives supporting energy generated from renewable sources. Remuneration schemes have become less competitive in some countries due to the financial crisis and it cannot be guaranteed that current support will be maintained in all EDPR’s geographies or that future renewable energy projects will benefit from current support measures. Regulation promoting green energy has been revised or is under revision in some of the countries where EDPR is present. In the US, renewable generation from wind will be incentivized through Production Tax Credits (PTC) at a Federal level for all projects beginning of construction up to 2021. Level of incentives will be progressively fading out. Additionally, wind and solar production is also incentivized through State RPS Programs that allow receiving RECs (Renewable Energy Credit) for each MWh of renewable generation. EDPR is managing its exposure to regulatory risks through diversification, by being present in several countries and through participation as an active member in several wind and solar associations. Regulatory Risk in each of EDPR’s countries is monitored continuously, considering current regulation, potential drafts of new laws, feedback from associations, evolution of installed renewable generation capacity and other inputs. EDPR has developed an internal quantitative assessment of Regulatory Risk that serves as an indicator for changes in supporting schemes. This measure is updated annually in all EDPR´s geographies. Regulatory Risk is also considered ex-ante, at the moment of the investment, through sensitivity analyses that are performed to evaluate its impact in project profitability under different scenarios.
ii) Equipment Market Risk
Equipment Price Risk
Price of equipment is affected, not only by market fluctuations of the materials used, but also by the demand of this equipment or a possible increase in trade tariffs and levies. For every new project, EDPR secures the demand risk by engaging in advance with manufacturers, elected through a competitive process.
Equipment Supply Risk
The demand for new plants may offset the offer of equipment. Currently, the local component requirement in some geographies (Ex: Brazil) may create this shortfall situation. In the event of a trade war, supply chain of equipment suppliers may be affected, creating further imbalances in local component requirements. EDPR currently faces limited risk to the availability and price increase of equipment due to existing framework agreements with major global suppliers. The Company uses a large mix of suppliers in order to diversify equipment supply risk. For geographies with specific requirements of local component, EDPR does not engage in a project before securing the supply of the equipment. This risk is further explained on EDPR’s annual report due to its current relevance in the business.
5. Strategic Risk
i) Country Risk
Country Risk is defined as the probability of occurrence of a financial loss in a given country due to macroeconomics, political or natural disasters. EDPR has defined a Country Risk Policy that assesses country risk through an internal scoring based on publicly available data. This internal scoring is compared with external assessments from renowned organisations.# 5. Risk Factors
Each risk factor affecting country risk is evaluated independently to decide on potential mitigating actions:
- Macroeconomic Risk: risks from the country’s economic evolution, affecting revenue or cost time of the investments
- Political Risk: all possible damaging actions or factors for the business of foreign companies that emanate from any political authority, governmental body or social group in the host country
- Natural disaster risk: natural phenomena (seismicity, weather) that may impact negatively in the business conditions
Before approving a project in a new geography, EDPR analyses the risk of the new country and compares it to our existing portfolio. Mitigation measures may be decided when this risk is above a certain threshold. In addition, EDPR uses a Security risk index to rank countries from a security and safety standpoint, establishing mitigation measures for employees when above a pre-defined threshold.
5. ii) Competitive landscape
In the renewable business, size can be an advantage or disadvantage in specific situations. For example, in development of renewable plants, small and dynamic companies are usually more competitive than larger companies. On the other hand, when participating in tender processes for offshore wind farms, the size of the investment benefits larger companies. Additionally, the consequences of a change in the competitive landscape due to mergers and acquisitions may also be a risk. To mitigate the risks, EDPR has a clear knowledge of its competitive advantages and tries to leverage on them. When EDPR has no advantage versus its competitors, alternatives are considered in order to become competitive. For example, for offshore wind farms, EDPR has partnered with large companies with previous experience in large electricity generation projects, in order to become a more competitive consortium.
5. iii) Technology disruptions
Most renewables are relatively recent technologies, which are continuously evolving and improving efficiency. As such, some initially expensive technologies can become competitive in a relatively short time. EDPR growth focuses in the most competitive renewable technologies at the moment, which are onshore wind, offshore wind and PV solar, but also participates in other innovative projects such as floating offshore wind.
146 ANNUAL REPORT EDPR 2020
5. iv) Meteorological changes
Future estimations of wind and solar production are based on analysis of historical measurements for more than 20 years, and they are considered to be representative of the future. Relevant unexpected meteorological changes could lead to a lower production than the one expected from historical data. When evaluating a new investment, EDPR considers potential changes in the production forecasted, however, the size of the potential deviation in the case of relevant meteorological changes is uncertain.
5. v) Investment decisions criteria
Not all projects have the same risk profile. This will depend on merchant exposure of remuneration, construction risk, etc. In order to take proper business decisions, EDPR uses Risk Adjusted Metrics for investment decisions, which take into consideration the different risks inherent of each project.
5. vi) Energy Planning
Assumptions in future evolution of energy markets affect the profitability of the investments for the period after the fixed remuneration (regulated tariff or PPAs). Structure of electricity markets in most of EDPR geographies (marginal setting price) were not designed to consider a great share of generation from renewable sources with zero marginal price. Thus, the increase in renewable generation could lead to lower pool prices in medium term if reforms of electricity markets are not properly undertaken. When investing, EDPR performs sensitivity analyses to stress pool price scenarios for the period without fixed remuneration to understand the robustness of the profitability of the investment.
5. vii) Corporate Organisation and Governance
Corporate governance systems should ensure that a company is managed in the interests of its shareholders and other relevant stakeholders. In particular, EDPR has an organisation in place with a special focus on transparency, where the management body (Board of Directors) is separated from the supervision and control duties (Audit and Control Committee). Members of the Audit Committee are invited to the General Risk Committee of EDPR.
5. viii) Reputational risk
Companies are exposed to public opinion and today’s social networks are a rapid mean to express particular opinions. A bad reputation could eventually harm financial results of a company in the short and in the long term. Sustainability makes part of the essence of EDPR. EDPR is not only committed in building a better future, but also in doing it well, in an ethical and sustainable manner, consequently limiting reputational risk.
6. Impact of COVID-19
The year 2020 was marked by the outburst of COVID-19 pandemic. Already in March, EDPR carried out a comprehensive assessment of the potential impacts on the company’s operations, followed by recommendations of actions to be put in place and a process for continuous monitoring of the situation.
147
ANNUAL REPORT EDPR 2020
The impact of COVID-19 has been transversal across all areas and geographies of the company, but those impacts can be grouped under several risk categories:
Market Risk:
- Energy price risk: Energy price significantly dropped during 2020 in most of EDPR geographies due to the reduction in demand following the lockdown and a lower economic activity. However, impact of low energy prices on EDPR results was minimal, as EDPR’s marginal merchant exposure was mostly hedged for 2020.
- FX risk: Emerging economies suffered a strong depreciation of their currencies. Net Investment hedges at EDPR mitigated most of the FX fluctuations. On the other hand, a specific plan for hedging FX transactional exposures in Capex was set out, in order to avoid hedging at particularly unfavorable rates due to the pandemic. Monitoring of market risk was performed on a monthly basis in the Restricted Risk Committee, adjusting the position when necessary.
Counterparty Risk:
Despite the increase in exposure from counterparties in financial hedges and the temporary deterioration of the financial situation of some of EDPR’s PPA off -takers, impact for EDPR was negligible. The existing collateral in electricity hedges and a diversified portfolio of creditworthy PPA off-takers, some of which improved their credit metrics during the year (ie: Pacific Gas and Electric Company), made EDPR resilient to increase in counterparty risk. Monitoring of counterparty risk was also performed monthly in the Restricted Risk Committee.
Operational Risk and Business Continuity:
- Execution Risk: The impact of the pandemic on the construction and execution of projects lead to some COD delays, due to construction stoppages and/or supply chain disruptions. To mitigate this risk, EDPR implemented a strategy of prioritization of projects and set out a review of contractual clauses to prevent or minimize changes in tariff regimes, PPA penalties or Capex increases. By the end of 2020, incentivized regime contracts or PPAs were all maintained despite some COD delays.
- Monitoring of the evolution of the execution risk at EDPR was performed on a weekly basis, together with the Engineering & Construction Department.
- Operation Risk: No significant impact, as the potential reduction in plant availability due to delayed maintenance or repairs was residual.
- Personnel Risk: EDPR initially implemented travel restrictions and other measures designed to stop the spread of the coronavirus and guarantee the safety of its personnel. In March, EDPR activated its Contingency Plan for pandemics, introducing home office in all geographies and restricting access to its facilities, while minimizing disruptions in its operations, thus ensuring business continuity.
- EDPR employees have a Reopening Plan for gradually returning to the facilities according to the development of the pandemic, with geographical specifications, guaranteeing the highest health & safety standards.

ANNUAL REPORT EDPR 2020
54. Risk functions and framework
A corporation can manage risks in two different ways, one risk at a time on a largely and compartmentalized basis, or all risks together within a coordinated and strategic framework. The latter approach is called “Enterprise Risk Management” and is the approach used at EDPR. Risk Management at EDPR is supported by three distinct organisational functions, each on a different role: Strategy (Risk Profiler), Management (Risk Manager) and Controlling (Risk Controller).
| RISK FUNCTIONS | DESCRIPTION |
|---|---|
| Strategy | Global Risk Department provides analytically supported proposals to general strategic issues. Responsible for proposing guidelines and policies for risk management within the company |
| Management | Implement defined policies by Global Risk Responsible for day-to-day operational decisions and for related risk taking and risk |
| 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 board |
The Risk Committee is the forum where the different Risk Functions discuss the policies to be implemented and control the risk exposure of the company. EDPR’s Risk Committee integrates and coordinates all Risk Functions and assures the link between corporate’s risk appetite and defined strategy and the operations of the company. EDPR created three distinct meetings of the Risk Committee in order to separate discussions on execution of mitigation strategies from those on the definition of new policies:
- Restricted Risk Committee: Held every month, it is mainly focused on development risk and market risk from energy price (market, basis, profile, GCs and RECs).# INTERNAL CONTROL SYSTEM OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
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 the COSO framework: 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.
SCOPE REVISION AND UPDATE
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 both the different types of risk (operational, economic, financial, technological or legal) and the control objectives of financial reporting (existence and occurrence, completeness, measurement, presentation, disclosure and 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 organisation involved in the SCIRF and supervised by the Audit, Control and Related Party Transactions Committee.
CONTROL ACTIVITIES
In documented SCIRF processes and controls, information capture mechanisms are established (including identification of the scope of consolidation) and are specified the steps and checks that are carried out for the preparation of the financial information that will be part of consolidated financial statements. The procedures for the review and approval of financial information are provided by the areas of Planning and Control, and Administration, Consolidation and Tax. Financial information is supervised in the scope of its competences by the Audit, Control and Related Party Transactions 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 the 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 access by unauthorized persons, analysis of deviations from the budget, the analysis in Executive Committees 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.

NOT APPLICABLE Section B-I, b) Topics 12 and 13 (Page 159)

II.6.

An Internal Control System over Financial Reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance over the reliability of financial information in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework and includes those policies and procedures that:
(i) enable the records reflecting the transactions performed to be kept accurately and with a reasonable level of detail;

(iii) provide reasonable assurance in relation to the prevention or timely detection of unauthorised acquisitions, use or sales of the Group’s assets that could have material effect on the financial information.# Inherent Limitations
In this regard, it should be borne in mind that, given the inherent limitations of any Internal Control System over Financial Reporting, regardless of the quality of the design and operation of the system, it can only allow reasonable, but not absolute security, in relation to the objectives it pursues, which may lead to errors, irregularities or fraud that may not be detected. On the other hand, the projection to future periods of the evaluation of internal control is subject to risks such that said internal control being inadequate as a result of future changes in the applicable conditions, or that in the future the level of compliance of the established policies or procedures may be reduced.
Director's responsibility

198 ANNUAL REPORT EDPR 2020
Annex II Remuneration Report
EDPR has rooted in its organizational culture the challenge and ambition to implement and achieve, at all times, the best corporate governance practices, and seeks, with transparency and rigor, to go beyond the legal and regulatory requirements applicable in this area. Despite the understanding of the Portuguese Securities Commission (CMVM) that the remuneration report only needs to be released and submitted to shareholders, for the first time, at the annual general shareholders’ meeting subsequent to the year in which the new remuneration policy is approved after the enter into force of Law nº 50/2020 of 25 August, (this is as of 2022), EDPR sought, under the terms of Article 245.º - C of the Portuguese Securities Code, to anticipate, already in 2021, to provide a version aiming to the effective compliance of such legal requirement. This commitment seeks to materialize our culture towards our Shareholders and the market in general.
Pursuant to the terms of Article 245-C of the Portuguese Securities Code, as amended by Law no. 50/2020, of 25 August, this Remuneration Report envisages to provide a wide-ranging view of the remuneration attributed to the members of the corporate bodies of EDP Renováveis S.A., including all benefits, regardless of their form, due or attributed during the financial year of 2020.
199 Definition and adoption of the Remuneration Policy of EDP Renováveis
The definition of the proposal of the remuneration policy for the members of the Board of Directors of EDPR is incumbent on Nominations and Remunerations Committee which is a elegated body of the Board of Directors enterely composed by non- executive and independent members.

As such, this Committee prepares a proposal that defines the remuneration to be attributed to Directors and to the members of the Executive Committee, with the purpose that it reflects the performance of each of the members in each year of their term of office establishing for the Executive Committee Members a variable component which is consistent with the maximisation of the Company's long term performance (variable annual and multi-annual remuneration for a three-year period), and long term incentive plans for the achievement of the most challenging objectives of the business plan, thereby guaranteeing the alignment of the performance of the governing bodies with the interests of the shareholders.
The Board of Directors is responsible for the approval of the above-mentioned proposals except to the extent it concerns the Declara tion on the Remuneration Policy which is annualy approved by the General Shareholders’ Meeting. The Board of Directors also evaluates with an annual periodicity its own performance and the performance of its delegated Committees. The evaluation of the performance of the Board of Directors and its Executive Committee, is then additionally submitted for the approval of the General Shareholder Meeting. The Declaration on the Remuneration Policy is submitted by the Board of Directors to the approval of the Gene ral Shareholders’ Meeting as an independent proposal.
According to the Company’s Articles of Association the Board of Directors remuneration is subject to a maximum value that can only be modified by a Shareholders agreement. The remuneration policy applicable for 2020-2022 was proposed by the Nominations and Remuneration Committee and approved by the General Shareholders’ Meeting held on March 26 th , 2020. It defined a structure with a fixed remuneration for all members of the Board of Directors, whereas for the members of the Executive Committee defines a fixed and a variable remuneration, with an annual component and a multi-annual component.
