Notes to the Annual Accounts
31 December 2013
(1) Nature and Activities of the Company
- EDP Renováveis, S.A. (hereinafter, "the Company") was incorporated by public deed under Spanish law on 4 December 2007 and commenced operations on the same date. Its registered offices are at Plaza de la Gesta, 2, Oviedo.
- On 18 March 2008, the shareholders agreed to change the corporate status of the Company from EDP Renováveis, S.L. to EDP Renováveis, S.A.
- According to the Company's articles of association, the statutory activity of EDP Renováveis S.A. comprises activities related to the electrical sector, specifically the planning, construction, maintenance and management of electricity production facilities, in particular those eligible for the special regime for electricity generation. The Company promotes and develops projects relating to energy resources and electricity production activities as well as managing and administering other companies' equity securities.
- The Company can engage in its statutory activities directly or indirectly through ownership of shares or investments in companies or entities with identical or similar statutory activities.
- On 28 January 2008, EDP-Energías de Portugal, S.A. informed the market and the general public that its directors had decided to launch a public share offering in EDP Renováveis, S.L. The Company completed its initial flotation in June 2008, with 22.5% of shares in the Company quoted on the Lisbon stock exchange.
- As explained in note 8 the Company holds investments in subsidiaries. Consequently, in accordance with prevailing legislation, the Company is the parent of a group of companies. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in Spain, consolidated annual accounts must be prepared to present fairly the financial position of the Group, the results of operations and changes in its equity and cash flows. Details of investments in Group companies are provided in Appendix I.
- The operating activity of the Group headed by the Company is carried out in Europe, the USA and Brazil through three subgroups headed by EDP Renewables Europe, S.L.U. (EDPR EU) in Europe, EDP Renewables North America, LLC (EDPR NA, formerly Horizon Wind Energy, LLC) in the USA and EDP Renováveis Brasil in Brazil. In 2010 the Group incorporated the subsidiary EDP Renewables Canada, Ltd. to provide a base for carrying out projects in Canada. During 2013, the Group incorporated South Africa Wind & Solar Power, S.L in order to carry out projects in South Africa.
- The Company belongs to the EDP Group, of which the parent is EDP Energías de Portugal, S.A., with registered offices at Praça Marquês de Pombal, 12 – 4, Lisbon.
Notes to the Annual Accounts
- In 2012, China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG) acquired 780,633,782 ordinary shares in EDP from Parpública – Participaçoes Públicas (S.G.P.S.), S.A., representing 21.35% of the share capital and voting rights of EDP Energías de Portugal S.A., the majority shareholder of the Company.
- Under the agreements for its entry into the share capital of the EDP Group, CTG undertook to make minority investments totalling Euros 2,000 million in EDP Renováveis Group assets representing an installed capacity of 1.5 GW (900 MW in service and 600 MW under construction). A part of these investments was completed in 2013 through the sale to CTG of 49% of the shares in EDP Renováveis Portugal, S.A. for an amount of Euros 257.9 million.
- The EDP Renováveis Group carried out a number of operations effective from 1 January 2013 as part of the Group's financial restructuring, aimed at maximising the efficiency of financing between Group companies by concentrating the Group's financial activities in EDP Renováveis Servicios Financieros , S.L. transferring to that company the financial activity that has to date been developed by The Company.
- Within the framework of this restructuring, EDP Renováveis, S.A. made a non-monetary contribution of Euros 12 million to EDP Renovavéis Servicios Financieros S.L., consisting of loans extended to the subsidiaries of the EDP Renewables Europe S.L. subgroup and the loans obtained from EDP Finance BV. As part of this operation, the EDP Renováveis Group also transferred its Finances department to the new financial entity. Furthermore, EDP Renováveis S.A. subscribed another share capital increase by EDP Renovavéis Servicios Financieros S.L. for an amount of Euros 580 million. Following these operations EDP Renováveis Servicios Financieros S.L. distributed a dividend from the share premium amounting to Euros 453 million, of which Euro 317 million correspond to EDP Renováveis S.A. (see note 8 a.)
- On 25 February 2014 the directors authorised for issue the consolidated annual accounts of EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries for 2013 under International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) (26 February 2013 for 2012), which show consolidated profit of Euros 169,124 thousand and consolidated equity of Euros 6,089,496 thousand (Euros 136,050 thousand and Euros 5,748,827 thousand in 2012). The consolidated annual accounts will be filed at the Asturias Mercantile Registry.
Notes to the Annual Accounts
(2) Basis of Presentation
- (a) Fair presentation
- The annual accounts for 2013 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 present fairly the equity and financial position at 31 December 2013 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 2013, authorised for issue on 25 February 2014, 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, statement of cash flows and the notes thereto for 2013 include comparative figures for 2012, which formed part of the annual accounts approved by shareholders at the annual general meeting held on 23 April 2013.
- Inlight of the non-monetary contribution of the financial activity described in note 8, the figures for 2013 are not directly comparable with those for the prior year.
- (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:
Notes to the Annual Accounts
(e) Financial position and equity
According to the balance sheet at 31 December 2013, the Company has negative working capital in an amount of Euros 256.1 million. However, Euros 270.9 million of total current liabilities comprise balances with Group companies, of which Euros 245.5 million reflect current account contracts which are automatically renewable for one-year periods and Euros 25.3 million reflect the fair value of one of the derivatives arranged with EDP Energías de Portugal Sucursal en España SA to apply hedge accounting to the interest held in EDP Renewables North America, LLC. Furthermore, the Company is the parent of a Group of companies that generates positive operating cash flows and as such, the directors consider that the Group will generate sufficient cash flows to meet its commitments in the short term.
Consequently, the directors have prepared these annual accounts on a going concern basis.
- -Relevant accounting estimates and assumptions
- The Company tests investments in Group companies for impairment on an annual basis. An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, the latter of which is understood as the higher of the asset's value in use and fair value less costs to sell. The Company generally uses cash flow discounting methods to calculate these values. Discounted cash flow 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.
- 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.
- -Changes in accounting estimates
- Although estimates are calculated by the Company's directors based on the best information available at 31 December 2013, 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.

Notes to the Annual Accounts
(4) 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.
- Non-monetary assets measured at fair value have been translated into Euros at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.
- In the statement of cash flows, 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 statement of cash flows 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 costs of employees who implement 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.
Notes to the Annual Accounts
- -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 purchase price and carried at cost less any accumulated depreciation and impairment.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated by allocating the depreciable amount of the 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.
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 technology equipment | Straight-line | 4 |
(d) Financial instruments
(i) Classification and separation of financial instruments
- Financial instruments are classified on initial recognition as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the economic substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial asset, a financial liability and an equity instrument.
- The Company classifies financial instruments into different categories based on the nature of the instruments and management's intentions on initial recognition.
Notes to the Annual Accounts
(ii) Offsetting principles
A financial asset and a financial liability are offset only when the Company currently has the legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(iii) Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
- Upon initial recognition the Company designates financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss in the income statement only if:
- it eliminates or significantly reduces the measurement or recognition inconsistency between financial assets and financial liabilities or
- the performance of a group of financial assets, financial liabilities or both is managed and evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with the Company's documented risk management or investment strategy. Information on these financial assets and financial liabilities provided internally to the Company's key management personnel is evaluated on that basis.
This category also includes the derivative financial instruments described in note 11.
- Financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue are recognised as an expense when incurred.
- After initial recognition, they are recognised at fair value through profit or loss. Fair value is reduced by transaction costs incurred on sale or disposal. Accrual interest and dividends are recognised separately.
(iv) 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.
(v) 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.
Notes to the Annual Accounts
- Investments in Group companies acquired through a non-monetary contribution from another Group company are measured at the pre-transaction value in the individual annual accounts of the contributing company.
- (vi) 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 at the transaction date at the higher of the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities transferred in the individual annual accounts of the contributing company and the amount representative of the percentage of interest in the equity of the business contributed. 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.
(vii) 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 dividends are clearly derived from profits generated prior to the acquisition date because amounts higher than the profits generated by the investment since acquisition have been distributed, the carrying amount of the investment is reduced.
- Based on query number 2 with the Spanish Accounting and Auditing Institute, published in its Official Gazette number 78, for entities whose ordinary activity is the holding of shares in group companies and the financing of investees, the dividends and other income – coupons, interest – earned on financing extended to investees, as well as profits obtained from the disposal of investments, except those deriving from the disposal of subsidiaries, jointly controlled entities and associates, constitute revenue in the income statement.
(viii) 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.
- (ix) Impairment of financial assets
- -Impairment of financial assets carried at amortised cost
Notes to the Annual Accounts
- 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. For variable income financial assets, the effective interest rate corresponding to the measurement date under the contractual conditions is used.
- 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
- An asset is impaired when its carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount, the latter of which is understood as the higher of the asset's 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 disposal of the asset.
- The carrying amount of the investment includes any monetary receivables or payables of which settlement is neither expected nor probable, excluding items of a commercial nature.
- 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.
- Impairment losses are recognised and reversed in the income statement.
- Impairment of an investment is limited to the amount of the investment, except when contractual, legal or constructive obligations have been assumed by the Company or payments have been made on behalf of the companies.
(x) 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.
Notes to the Annual Accounts
(xi) 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.
- (xii) 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 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 a pre-tax rate that reflects the time value of money and the specific risks for which future cash flows associated with the provision have not been adjusted at each reporting date.
- The financial effect of provisions is recognised as a finance cost in the income statement.
Notes to the Annual Accounts
- If it is not probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle an obligation, the provision is reversed.
- (g) Income tax
- The income tax expense or tax income for the year comprises current tax and deferred tax.
- 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.
- 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.
Notes to the Annual Accounts
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.
(i) 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.
(ii) 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, unless the differences arise 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.
- 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.
(iii) 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.
(iv) Offset and classification
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognised in the balance sheet under non-current assets or liabilities, irrespective of the expected date of recovery or settlement.
(h) Classification of assets and liabilities as current and non-current
The Company classifies assets and liabilities in the balance sheet as current and noncurrent. Current assets and liabilities are determined as follows:
- Assets are classified as current when they are expected to be realised or are intended for sale or consumption in the Company's normal operating cycle, they are held primarily for the purpose of trading, they are expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting date or are cash or a cash equivalent, unless the assets may not be exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
Notes to the Annual Accounts
-
- 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 twelve months after the reporting date or the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting date.
-
- Financial liabilities are classified as current when they are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting date, even if the original term was for a period longer than twelve 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.
(i) 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.
- -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 work arising from any legal or contractual commitments and for those commitments acquired for the prevention and repair of environmental damage.
(j) Related party transactions
Transactions between Group companies are recognised at the fair value of the consideration given or received. The difference between this value and the amount agreed is recognised in line with the underlying economic substance of the transaction.
Notes to the Annual Accounts
(k) 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, cash flow hedges and hedges of net investments in foreign operations. The Company has also opted to record hedges of foreign currency risk of a firm commitment as a cash flow hedge.
- 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.
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 hedges are classified as fair value hedges. The portion of gains or losses on the hedging instrument or on the changes in the exchange of the monetary item used as the hedging instrument is recognised as exchange gains or losses. Gains or losses on investments related to the foreign currency amount of the underlying in the annual accounts are recognised as exchange gains or losses in profit and loss with a valuation adjustment for the effective part of the hedge.
(l) 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.

- At year end the Company has fully depreciated property, plant and equipment of Euros 116 thousand which correspond entirely with information technology equipment (0 in 2012)
- At 31 December 2013 and 2012 the Company has no commitments to purchase property, plant and equipment.
(7) 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.
Notes to the Annual Accounts
- 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.
- (i) 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 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 currency risk. 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, 16 and 21.
- At 31 December 2013 and 2012, had the Euro strengthened/weakened by 10% against the US Dollar, with the other variables remaining constant, the effect on pre-tax profit would have been as follows:
| Thousands of Euros | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 2012 | |
| EUR/USD exchange rate strengthened by 10% | 21,761 | 22,695 |
| EUR/USD exchange rate weakened by 10% | (26,597) | (27,738) |
This effect essentially derives from the translation of debt in foreign currencies.
Notes to the Annual Accounts
(ii) 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.
Details of financial assets exposed to credit risk are provided in note 10.
- (iii) 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.
- Compliance with the liquidity policy ensures that contracted commitments are paid, maintaining sufficient credit facilities. The EDP Renováveis Group manages liquidity risk by contracting 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 16.
(iv) Cash flow and fair value interest rate risks
- In light of the non-monetary contribution mentioned in notes 8.a, in 2013 the Company does not have a considerable amount of remunerated 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 obtained from Group companies. The loans have fixed interest rates, exposing the Company to fair value risks.
- Details of hedged financial assets and the derivative financial instruments obtained to hedge them are provided in notes 8 and 11.

Notes to the Annual Accounts
- To hedge the currency risk arising from the exposure of the investment in EDP Renewables North America, LLC, denominated in a foreign currency, in 2008 Company management contracted a hedging instrument comprising three swaps for a total notional amount of US Dollars 2,632,613 thousand, equivalent to Euros 1,826,175 thousand applying the exchange rate at that date. In 2013 the change in fair value of the investment in EDP Renewables North America, LLC totals Euros 86,375 thousand and the change in fair value of the hedging instrument amounts to Euros 86,375 thousand (Euros 39,323 thousand and Euros 39,323 thousand, respectively, in 2012). These amounts have been recognised in exchange gains in the accompanying income statement (see note 11). The fair value of the hedging instrument at 31 December 2013 totals Euros 82,772 thousand (Euros 169,136 thousand at 31 December 2012), and this has been recognised in non-current payables under non-current liabilities and current payables to Group companies and associates under current liabilities in the accompanying balance sheet (see note 11).

At 31 December 2013, the loss relating to the aforementioned net investment hedging operation totals Euros 6,039 thousand.
- The remaining amount of this investment that is not hedged by the aforementioned operation is covered by hedging operations securing a loan denominated in the same currency (see note 16) in 2013, and by hedging operations securing several loans in 2012. This has generated exchange differences of Euros 14,679 thousand and Euros 24,701 thousand in 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(17) Late Payments to Suppliers. "Reporting Requirement", Third Additional Provision of Law 15/2010 of 5 July 2010
Pursuant to the third additional provision of Law 15/2010 of 5 July 2010, which amends Law 3/2004 and contains measures to combat late payments in commercial transactions, companies are required to expressly disclose information on payment periods with suppliers in the notes to the annual accounts. Details of payments to suppliers in 2013 and 2012 (highlighting the amounts that exceeded the maximum legal period), the weighted average late payment days and the outstanding amount payable that exceeds the maximum legal period at year end are as follows:
| Payments made and outstanding at the reporting date | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2013 | 2012 | |||
| Amount | % | Amount | % | |
| Within maximum legal period | 7,595 | 40% | 5,765 | 39% |

| Weighted average late payment days | 239 | 129 | - | |
| Late payments exceeding the maximum legal period at the reporting date |
1,357 | 3,999 | - |
Euros 1,178 thousand of the past-due suppliers balance at the 2013 year end are payable to Group companies (Euros 3,924 thousand in 2012).
This law stipulates a maximum legal period of 60 days in 2013 and 75 days in 2012. The Company has applied this criterion when preparing the information required by the Spanish Accounting and Auditing Institute (ICAC) resolution of 29 December 2010 on disclosures in notes to financial statements of late payments to suppliers in commercial transactions, and as such the information for 2013 and 2012 is not directly comparable.

Decreases due to permanent differences in 2013 essentially reflect the dividend distributed by EDP Renewables Europe S.L.U.
Notes to the Annual Accounts
- Increases due to temporary differences totalling Euros 19,257 thousand in 2013 (Euros 54,101 thousand in 2012) essentially reflect the limited deductibility of net finance costs under Royal Decree 12/2012. The remaining increases due to temporary differences reflect salaries payable and other non-deductible items, as well as costs relating to the recognition of the provision mentioned in note 14, considered nondeductible expenses.
- Decreases due to temporary differences in 2013 and 2012 mainly reflect the tax amortisation of the financial goodwill of EDPR NA, salaries payable and other nondeductible items in 2013 and 2012.

(19) Environmental Information
- Given that the Company's activities to develop, construct and operate energy production facilities are carried out through Group subsidiaries rather than directly, the Company does not consider it necessary to make investments to prevent or correct any impact on the environment or make any environmental provisions.
- However, on behalf of Group companies, the Company has invested in a number of environmental studies required by prevailing legislation during the development of new facilities and taken the appropriate preventative, corrective and supplementary measures, which have been recognised as an increase in property, plant and equipment under construction.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,
2013 was a year marked with numerous challenges for EDP Renováveis. However, our vision remains intact and our ability to achieve our targets, yet again, is a testament to the strength and focus of our team. Strategic initiatives implemented in 2012 were successfully executed in 2013 and will serve as the foundation of our growth moving forward. Regulatory changes in Spain changed the investment landscape in one of our core markets and due to the extension of the PTCs, the US placed itself as the growth pillar of EDPR for the upcoming years. The development of the renewable energy sector into a mature sector is unstoppable, becoming increasingly cost-competitive, and we believe we are well positioned to capture value and deliver it to our shareholders.
Marking the five year anniversary of becoming a publicly traded company, 2013 was a year of record performance. Our renewable energy portfolio reached 8.5 GW, produced 19.9 TWh of clean energy, delivered leading operational and financial metrics and all while maintaining the highest levels of sustainability principles.
EDPR shares the DNA of the EDP group, in what regards maintaining a low risk profile as a core priority. Our low risk profile was key to implement a successful self-funding business model – reducing exposure to the volatility of financial markets – which is based on the asset rotation program. Yielding EDPR 620 million euros of value crystallization through several transactions, the program success was determinant. CTG has also been instrumental in this success by recognizing the high quality of our assets and generating interest from our other partners. During the year, EDPR successfully closed its first transaction with CTG and signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for an investment in our ENEOP projects. This agreement provided further evidence of the successful implementation of the Strategic Partnership.
The wind energy sector is becoming increasingly competitive. Alongside with increased competitiveness, renewables have clear benefits in terms of reducing carbon emissions, creating local jobs, and securing national energy demands. Clearly there is a paradigm shift and in regions with solid renewable resources, wind is already the most competitive technology representing a significant portion of the production mix. For example, in the UK, the entrance price for new nuclear power stations can be 20%-30% above the cost for onshore wind. Also, the outcome of the energy auctions in Brazil showcased the strength of wind as it competed with conventional technologies and secured the bulk of the new long-term contracts. Towards the end of 2013, a record number of wind power MW were under construction in the United States and renewables was the overall leader for new installations in Europe. All this facts are testimonial to the significance of renewable energy, its increased competitiveness and sustainability. Now it is time to debate at a European level the importance of adopting a new Market Design, one that properly answers to the current challenges of the whole electric sector, where the cost of capital is a key factor of competitiveness and where fixed costs are increasingly dominant, as is the case with renewables.
As the sector continues to change and mature, it's important for us to maintain a flexible strategy. Given the inherent quality of our assets EDPR signed over 1,200 MW of long term power purchase agreements in the United States, providing visibility of our growth three years in advance. Because of its diversified portfolio, EDPR additionally secured long-term agreements in Italy and Brazil, an exceptional achievement in our growth markets. But we cannot afford to be careless and must maintain a prudent approach to the business. Inspired by our vision and confident of the long-term value of investing in renewables we continue to explore new markets and new technologies. On the solar side, 2013 was the first year of production of our newly installed plants and we will continue to search for opportunities and capture their potential as their costs continue to decline. In offshore wind, we partnered with GDF Suez and presented ourselves to the French Offshore Round II licenses program. The offshore market showed considerable growth in Europe during the year and looks to be an increasing source of growth in the long-term.
The Company's policy of investing in a diverse portfolio aims to generate consistent returns over the long term. We are pleased with our consistent performance despite the poor economic environment since 2008. We therefore view the next year with a mixture of caution and optimism as we continue to believe that good quality assets in which we invest can prosper even in the current tough environment.
The company continues to execute its strategy to develop and operate a worldwide fleet that generates clean and CO2-free electricity. Respect for biodiversity and supporting the society are decisive contributors to achieve a leadership position in the global arena of sustainability. We continued our commitment with the UN Global Compact to align our operations with the ten principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption. This year, EDPR was distinguished with the number one worldwide position in the FTSE4Good Index and contributed to EDP's leading position in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.
It takes the performance and dedication of our employees and their strong relationships with our stakeholders to achieve these humbling recognitions. I would like to openly praise their determination in overcoming challenges and capturing new growth opportunities. Based on their assessment, the company was selected as a Best Place to Work in several countries and I along with my colleagues of the Board, will make sure the Company keeps with the highest standards of health and safety, ethics and diversity, while providing challenging career opportunities for our employees.
I would also like to express my confidence in the work developed by the executive team and to give thanks to my fellow board directors for their support and supervisory role. The company has come a long way in five years as a public company. It is now a mature company facing increased challenges. We need to make sure we continue to operate our assets with premium metrics and continue to define our own growth path.
Sincerely,
INTERVIEW WITH THE CEO

2013 MANAGEMENT REPORT : EDP RENOVÁVEIS
<-- PDF CHUNK SEPARATOR -->
Q: WHAT WERE THE MAIN DEVELOPMENTS OF THE RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR IN 2013?
JMN: My first comment when I analyse 2013 is that throughout the year we were able to confirm onshore wind technology as a competitive source of electricity. The question is no longer only about being green, but it is also about being competitive when comparing against other sources of generation. The tender for new nuclear power in the UK brought to public knowledge what is the price of a technology. Nuclear is commonly argued to have a lower cost versus renewables, yet the price awarded in this nuclear tender was 20% to 30% higher than the price of onshore wind energy in France or Portugal.
Based on this increased competitiveness, onshore wind continues to lead the number of annual installations worldwide. Excluding Europe, the development of new onshore wind projects increased in the relevant markets. Although installations in the US were drastically lower, once the PTC was extended in the beginning of the year, activity ramped up so that 2014 is now set up to be a solid year of growth due to the record figure of projects already under construction or in a ready-to-build state.
Europe – which is the worldwide leader in the wind energy industry – is lagging in terms of growth due to the increased discussions about the sustainability of renewables. By incorrectly identifying renewables as the cause of the increase in electricity prices, the region's economic competitiveness has declined. This discussion was particularly exacerbated in Spain where the Government unilaterally intervened in the sector's financial stability by changing the regulatory framework for wind energy projects built in the past 20 years.
However, 2013 also confirmed the strong appetite from institutional investors in gaining direct exposure to the solid visible returns provided by wind energy assets that are well managed and remunerated under long-term schemes.
Q: BUT PEOPLE CONTINUE TO PERCEIVE RENEWABLE AS A LUXURY THAT WILL ONLY SURVIVE WITH THE SUPPORT OF SUBSIDIES…
JMN: There are several persistent myths about renewable energy that have penetrated public opinion and are influencing the political landscape around the world. The idea that renewable energy is much more expensive than fossil fuel generation and will always rely on subsidies to be competitive is completely outdated.
When looking to the different investment costs, economic agents need to always analyse what are the total costs of each technology and the truth is that onshore wind with quality load factors is already competitive with all the other electricity generation technologies.
Typically renewable energy is perceived as being expensive because its total cost is compared to wholesale prices, and this is not correct. No technology is profitable based on existing wholesale electricity prices and this demands a restructuring of the electricity market in Europe.
The price gap between the European and the US electricity market is not driven by renewable energies but from the boom in production of shale gas in North America.
Q: WHAT WAS EDPR'S ACTION PLAN FOR THIS CHANGING ENVIRONMENT?
JMN: We decided to implement a rapid shift in investments for the upcoming years. Leveraging on our highly competitive and diversified pipeline of projects, and also on the more favourable business environment in the US, we placed the US at the centre of the company's growth.
In Europe, the management of the regulatory agenda and actively participating in the public debate intensified. This was not only specific to renewable energy but also for other sources of electricity.
I'm always focused on making sure EDPR continues to deliver premium operating metrics, for example in availability and load factors, and that financial sustainability and cost control continues to be a priority for all. With this mind-set we will continue to deliver premium returns.
We also continued our asset rotation strategy of selling minority stakes in operating projects. This allowed us to take advantage of the increased number of low-cost-of-capital financial investors looking to the fundamentals of the wind energy business and its solid low-risk profile.
Q: DOES THIS SHIFT TOWARDS THE US MARKET MEAN EUROPE IS A MARKET WITHOUT GROWTH?
JMN: No. Wind energy is economically competitive and contributes to the de-carbonization and energy independence of the European economy. Europe wants to reduce its CO2 emissions by 40% and just reinforced its objective of having 27% of electricity production coming from renewable sources by 2030. Countries like the UK and Poland will need new power generation capacity as several coal plants are slated to retire in the upcoming years. But one does not need to go that far out in the future to justify the demand as several European markets still need to install new renewables to achieve the 20% renewable energy target by 2020.
EDPR has been operating wind energy assets in the region since the 90's and is currently present in 8 European markets, so we are long-term investors and will continue to look for new opportunities.
Q: HOW IS EDPR PLACED IN THIS NEW COMPETITIVE SCENARIO?
JMN: We really believe in the competitiveness of the projects originated by our teams, and the quality of our portfolio of assets is the most evident proof of it. Based on our knowledge in maximizing wind farms output, we will focus our growth in projects which can sell their production through long-term contracts, typically 15 to 20 years, with terms defined based on competitive systems.
We believe that investments in such a capital intensive business need to have long-term visibility on returns. In our opinion the best way to provide visibility and to deliver the most competitive price to end consumers, is to
introduce ex-ante competition to award contracts for new installations. This competition can exist through energy auctions, organized on a national/regional basis, or through private negotiations with off-takers.
This competition is already a reality in some markets, such as the United States, Portugal and Brazil. It's also gaining traction in several other markets, most recently in Italy, and others are planning to introduce this mechanism for their future capacity additions, like Poland.
Q: LET'S NOW MOVE TO EDPR'S 2013 PERFOMANCE. WHAT WERE THE MAIN HIGHLIGHTS?
JMN: In 2013, the company again delivered quality growth. We met our growth targets with the addition of 502 MW to our portfolio that now reaches 8.5 GW. The high quality assets produced 19.9 GWh of clean electricity and resulted in revenues of 1.4 billion euros.
The additional capacity was concentrated in our growth markets, mainly in Central Eastern Europe which contributed 70% of the new capacity. This included building our largest wind farm in Romania, adding to our leading presence in Poland, and installing our first project in Canada.
The financial results for the year were clearly impacted by the regulatory changes in Spain. What is encouraging is that despite these cumulative changes, which negatively impacted results by 71 million euros, EDPR was still able to deliver financial growth, thus showing the benefits of its diversified portfolio and resilient business model.
Our EBITDA was up 1% year over year, our Net Profit increased 5% and operational cash-flow increased by 5%. Based on these figures and in line with our commitment, the EDPR Board of Directors will propose to distribute 26% of the consolidated Net Profit as dividend.
Q: IN THIS CHANGING ENVIRONMENT IS THE VISION OF THE COMPANY CHANGING FOR THE FUTURE?
JMN: No. When we first identified the potential of renewables, specifically onshore wind, we understood its competitiveness would quickly increase and become cost competitive with alternative options and thus represent an important share of the world's generation mix. This vision materialized and we continue to be strongly committed to it. We continue to see a crucial role of renewable's energy in the energy matrix and its increased competitiveness provides a bright future for the sector.
EDPR is a top worldwide player in renewables and is a long-term investor in the industry. We are experts in the development and operation of wind farms and we want to capitalize on our core capabilities and structural competitive advantages to deliver long-term value to our shareholders and stakeholders.
To obtain long-term value in this industry, EDPR has a strategy structured around three pillars: (i) delivering increased profitability supported by the performance of EDPR's premium wind farms; (ii) selective and profitable growth, and; (iii) a self-funded business model. My commitment to the company is to deliver this strategic agenda.
We need to continue to achieve premium operating figures and to maximize value from the assets already in operation. To achieve this excellence in operations we will continue to execute performance optimization initiatives to increase efficiency and maintain strong control over costs.
Looking for new investments, as I said previously, we introduced in 2013 a shift of the growth towards the United States and the company is committed to adding new value accretive projects to its portfolio. It is also relevant to maintain our self-funded business model and to achieve this we will continue to execute asset rotation transactions and re-invest proceeds in visible projects.
I would like to stress that the company's growth will be focused in markets where the project's output is sold through long-term, low-risk-profile contracts that deliver predictable and recurrent cash-flows and guarantee the stability of the project's return. With this approach, EDPR will be able to define its own future and continue to lead the renewable energy sector.
Q: WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE ASSET ROTATION TRANSACTIONS ALREADY EXECUTED AND WHAT IS THE ROLE OF CHINA THREE GORGES?
JMN: Since we started the asset rotation strategy we have executed 4 transactions and entered into a MoU for a fifth transaction.
Our first partner in the asset rotation strategy was Borealis for a portfolio of US wind farms. The second transaction in the US was with Fiera Axium involving a single wind farm. In Europe, we signed an agreement with Axpo for a portfolio of wind farms in France. And lastly, we signed two agreements with CTG for the assets in Portugal (the first concluded in June 2013 and the second – a MoU – regarding a future transaction including the ENEOP project which is on its way to conclusion).
But what is more important than the number of transactions or the names of the players involved, is the amount invested by our new partners. The first four transactions totalled 620 million euros. This is a remarkable success of the execution of this strategy as it is almost equivalent to a full year of investments for the company.
We will continue to execute new asset rotation transactions as it is a key source of funding for the company and allows it to maintain equilibrium between growth and financial discipline.
Q: IS EDPR LOOKING TO OTHER RENEWABLE TECHNOLOGIES OR WILL IT CONTINUE TO BE WIND COMPANY?
JMN: Onshore wind is our priority. It is the most competitive renewable technology and EDPR has continuously delivered premium operating metrics as a worldwide market leader.
Looking ahead, offshore wind is a natural extension of our strong competences in wind energy. We are actively participating in the UK offshore wind market and we partnered with GDF Suez for an offshore wind tender in France. The main challenge for the offshore projects is to increase its competitiveness and reduce costs.
We are also involved in the solar PV space but the growth and opportunities will always be more limited. We will base our strategy on having an opportunistic approach and implementing a dual strategy where solar is an extension of our developments in wind.
Q; WHAT MAKES EDPR A GREAT PLACE TO WORK?
JMN: First and foremost are our people. It takes a dedicated team of experienced and driven individuals in order to continuously deliver on targets in this incredibly fast paced environment.
In 2014, I will continue to maintain a close relationship and direct contact with each of our employees, listening to their comments and suggestions, explaining the strategic decisions made by the management and continuing the activities developed in 2012 and 2013.
We have received several recognitions and this is a significant achievement for the company. We accept these recognitions with great pride and it is crucial that our employees are happy in their place of work, which in turn contributes to the strong performance of the company.
Beyond that, I believe we offer great training opportunities, competitive benefits, and simply have a group of people who are dedicated to realizing the vision of our company, which is to be a leading renewable energy company in terms of performance and sustainability.
Q: WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAVE A FINAL MESSAGE?
JMN: I would like to say to our shareholders that we have a good company with high quality assets and a team which is grounded in solid principles and values. We are ambitious but not unrealistic, so we are going to base our growth in areas that fit our low risk investment profile and we are going to fund this growth by executing our strategic agenda. Renewable energy is one of the most competitive sources of energy and has an excellent and important future.
With that said, I would like to thank our employees for their hard work and dedication and our shareholders for their continuing trust and belief in our mission.

EDPR'S GOAL IS TO BUILD THE SAFEST, MOST EFFICIENT AND COST COMPETITIVE PROJECTS.
WHICH FACTORS ARE RELEVANT WHEN CHOOSING A SITE?
To guarantee premium performance of its assets, EDPR carefully analyses the site in terms of the quality of renewable resources, topography, type of soil, and assesses the proximity to transmission lines in order to deliver electricity generated to the grid. The historical data of the renewable resource, such as wind direction, speed and density, and solar radiance, is critical to successfully develop a project.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COLLECT THE DATA?
To capture and record the most accurate data, EDPR installs sensors and meteorological masts and uses internal models and software tools to analyse the data collected. The process of collecting and analysing data varies from project to project but usually takes about 2 years. The data will then be used to design the most efficient wind farm layout and choose the most suitable generator model.
IS WIND FARM LAYOUT CRITICAL FOR OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE?
The wind farm layout is key to optimizing the energy that can be captured from the wind. To maximize the electricity that can be produced and maintain cost efficiency, EDPR's energy assessment team designs the layout considering meteorological fundamentals, thermal and topographic effects and variations in wind due to turbine height.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BUILD A WIND FARM?
The construction of a wind farm typically last from six months to one year, depending on the size of the project and soil conditions. The civil infrastructure of a wind farm includes the turbine foundation, permanent and temporary access roads, temporary crane walk paths, erection crane pads and improvements to public roads. Along with the civil infrastructure, medium voltage collection systems and the main transformer substation are also built in order to transfer the electricity from the wind farm to the grid.

WHAT IS CRUCIAL WHEN EVALUATING THE PROJECT AND FUNDING?
EDPR evaluates several risks, of which the most crucial are the financial, commercial and funding. To guarantee a stable cash flow stream, long term agreements are preferred, such as Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). EDPR implemented a self-funding strategy to minimize exposure to fluctuations in capital markets and to continuously deliver new higher quality and value accretive projects.
WHAT IS EDPR'S APPROACH TO ON-GOING MAINTENANCE SERVICE?
Once wind farms are in operation, EDPR follows an operation and maintenance strategy (O&M) to assure high levels of availability and minimal amounts of failures. There are two key warranty periods, the initial warranty period and the post warranty period. Within each period, EDPR employs specific strategies. During the initial warranty period, EDPR closely and proactively supervises its assets. During the post warranty period, EDPR opts between a competitive tender for full scope agreements with subcontractors or internalizes high value added activities through our Modular Maintenance Model (M3).
HOW DOES EDPR GUARANTEE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IN ITS WIND FARMS?
EDPR projects are built with a culture of sustainability. During the development phase several studies are carried out to assess potential impacts. While the project is under construction, our team seeks to minimize environmental impact and will restore the land to its initial use once construction is completed. Finally, an Environmental Management System is implemented during the operations phase, which guarantees that procedures are environmentally responsible and allows EDPR to produce CO2 free electricity.
1.3. STRATEGY
EDPR'S STRATEGY IS BASED IN THREE MAIN PILLARS
EDPR's strategy is based in delivering higher profitability supported by the performance of its premium assets and selective and profitable growth through a self-funded business model.
To capture new growth opportunities and expand operations, it is important to successfully select the best projects and to minimize dependence on external sources of funding.

QUALITY ASSETS DELIVERING INCREASED PROFITABILITY
As of December 2013, EDPR managed a global portfolio of 8.5 GW spread over 10 countries, of which 8.0 GW fully consolidated (EBITDA MW) with additional 455 MW equity consolidated through its interest in the Eólicas de Portugal consortium. EDPR's portfolio has low exposure to electricity market volatility as 93% of the installed capacity has pre-defined remuneration schemes with a long-term profile and only 7% is exposed to US spot wholesale electricity markets.
Optimizing performance throughout a project's life-cycle is a key priority at EDPR. EDPR's superior know-how and expertise guided by internal models drives operational metrics above the market, resulting in premium net capacity factors and high levels of availability. EDPR's focus on high operational efficiency metrics, with a comprehensive O&M strategy, is crucial to keep costs under control and key to achieve quality financial metrics.

SELECTIVE AND PROFITABLE GROWTH
To grow profitably and create solid value, EDPR has a low risk strategy when it comes to energy prices. By entering markets with predictable prices through long-term power purchase agreements, EDPR is able to define its future in advance and achieve solid visibility of the projects' stable cash-flow stream.
1,200 MW of new PPAs secured in the US
Since the extension of the PTCs in the United States in early 2013, EDPR secured 1,200 MW of PPAs in the US market with 950 MW for new projects to be installed in 2014 and beyond. The successful outcome from securing long-term PPA agreements reinforces EDPR's shift to markets with a low risk profile.

| 300 MW | 20 Years | Indiana/California |
| Oklahoma/California | ||
| 450 MW | 15/20 Years | Maine/Kansas |
| MW 200 MW |
Duration 20 Years |
Besides United States, EDPR was also granted during 2013 with new 20-year contracts for projects to be installed in Italy (60 MW) and Brazil (116 MW). The new long-term contract in Brazil, adds to a total of 236 MW of capacity already awarded in Brazil, reinforcing the growth potential of this market. France remains a market where EDPR will continue to grow by taking advantage of its low risk remuneration system.
EDPR continues to pursue new long-term PPAs along with contracts awarded in energy auctions, as these provide predictable prices over the useful life of the projects, allowing the company to define its future in advance and to create value thought projects with solid and visible cash flows.
SELF-FUNDED BUSINESS MODEL
In 2012, EDPR implemented a financial policy that embraces being independent from external funding sources to pursue its growth strategy. In capital intensive businesses, such as renewable energy, it is crucial to have visibility on the company's ability to raise funds to add new value accretive projects when a project is still in the final stages of development. With this mind-set it is of the upmost importance to make sure the operating cashflow of the assets already installed is maximized as this will be the main source of funds for the company's growth.
In order to achieve this strategic pillar, while maximizing the execution of growth opportunities, EDPR implemented its Asset Rotation Strategy. The purpose is to sell minority stakes in operational assets with a low risk profile and reinvest the proceeds in new higher value accretive projects. With the successful execution, EDPR also crystallizes the value of the asset upfront and accelerates the value growth cycle.
620 million euros already signed with Borealis, CTG, Fiera Axium and Axpo
Since the asset rotation strategy was implemented, EDPR has successfully executed four transactions totalling 620 million euros and signed a MoU envisaging an additional one. This remarkable track record in the Asset Rotation strategy, besides being crucial to continue adding news projects to the company's portfolio, also provides a good benchmark of the value of EDPR's assets to the capital markets.
In 2013, EDPR concluded the transactions structured in December 2012 with China Three Gorges (CTG) covering EDPR's wind farms in Portugal (613 MW) and executed deals with Fiera Axium for a 97 MW wind farm in the United States and with Axpo Power for a portfolio of 100 MW in France. Also in 2013 EDPR signed a MoU with CTG envisaging an asset rotation strategy in relation with EDPR's interest in the ENEOP consortium, which is to amount to 535 MW when the construction of the project is finalized.
EDPR's asset rotation strategy leverages on critical expertise in creating value in the project's initial stages, transforming high risk projects into low risk profile assets with a long useful life and stable and visible cash flows. This strategy allows EDPR to monetize the value of the project's future cash flows, while maintaining operating control of the wind farms, and re-investing the proceeds in the development of new higher quality and value accretive projects.
1.4. RISK MANAGEMENT
NEW FOCUS ON COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK AT EDPR
WHAT IS COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK?
Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty of a transaction could default before the final settlement of the transaction's cash flows. An economic loss could occur if the transactions or portfolio of transactions with the counterparty has a positive economic value at the time of default.
WHO ARE EDPR'S COUNTERPARTIES?
From a credit risk perspective, EDPR classifies its counterparties in to three different groups: Energy off-takers, suppliers (developers, partners, WTG suppliers and O&M suppliers) and financial institutions.
COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK POLICY AT EDPR
During 2013, EDPR introduced a new Global Counterparty Credit Risk Policy. To control credit risk at EDPR, thresholds of Expected Loss and Unexpected Loss are established, as defined under Basel Standards, and reevaluated monthly. If threshold is surpassed by any counterparty or by the company as a whole, mitigation measures are implemented in order to remain within the pre-established limit.

Consistent with the maintaining a controlled and low risk profile, EDPR has a Risk Management Process that defines the mechanisms for evaluation and management of risks and opportunities impacting the business. This process increases the likelihood of EDPR achieving its operational and financial targets, by minimizing fluctuations of financial results without compromising returns.
RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
EDPR's Risk Management Process is an integrated and transversal management model that ensures the implementation of best practices of Corporate Governance and transparency in the communication to the market and shareholders. This process is closely followed and supervised by the Audit and Control Committee, an independent supervisory body composed of non-executive members.
The purpose of the Risk Management process is to ensure the alignment of EDPR's risk exposure with the company's desired risk profile. It consists of the identification and prioritization of risks, the development of adequate risk management policies, and their implementation. Risk management policies are aimed to mitigate risks, without ignoring potential opportunities, thus, optimizing return versus risk exposure.
Risk management is endorsed by the Executive Committee, supported by the Risk Committee and implemented in dayto-day decisions by all managers of the company. It is supported by three distinct organizational functions, each one with a different role: Strategy (Risk Profiler), Management (Risk Manager) and Controlling (Risk Controller).
These three risk functions work together and meet in the Risk Committee, the forum to discuss global risk policies to be implemented and to control the risk exposure of the company.

RISK AREAS AND MAIN RISK FACTORS
Risk Management at EDPR is focused on covering the market, credit and operational risks of the company. In order to have a holistic view of risks, they were grouped into Risk Areas spanning the three phases of our business model. Within each Risk Area, risks are classified in Risk Groups and finally into Risk Factors. Risk factors are the source of the risk and the purpose of Risk Management at EDPR is to measure, control and eventually mitigate all risk factors that affect the company.
During 2013, EDPR defined or reviewed four new Global Risk Policies: Energy Price Hedging Policy, Counterparty Credit Risk Policy, Country Risk Policy and FX Risk Policy. These policies are already implemented or will be implemented throughout 2014. They tackled those Risk Groups with highest impact in EDPR's financial results.
RISK MATRIX AT EDPR BY RISK GROUP
The following matrix summarizes the Risk Areas, Risk Groups and main Risk Factors of EDPR's business and the mitigation strategies, general and specific to the year 2013.

2. WHY INVEST IN RENEWABLES?
2.1. BUSINESS CASE
RENEWABLE ENERGY PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL BENEFITS FOR OUR ECONOMY, CLIMATE AND HEALTH.
BENEFITS FOR OUR ECONOMY
Renewable energy brings benefits for our economy, mainly from three angles: enhanced security of supply, lower energy bills for end-consumers and job creation.
Enhanced security of supply: Access to cheap energy has become essential to the wealth of modern economies. However, the unbalanced distribution of fossil fuel supplies among countries has led to significant vulnerabilities. Threats to global energy security include political instability of energy producing countries, fluctuating energy supplies, competition over energy resources, among others. Energy dependence puts many countries in a very vulnerable position as it introduces a risk in the price of the imported fuels as well as a potential exposure on its future availability. For example, European's oil and gas import bills in 2012 was estimated at €470 billion which corresponded to 3.4% of the EU's GDP. In contrast, renewable sources use endogenous and unlimited resources such as wind, sun, plant residues, heat from the earth and fast-moving water, which enhance the security of supply, hence removing exposure to fluctuations of fuel prices and concerns about the availability of external supply.
Lower energy bills: Energy-consumers may benefit from lower energy bills as renewables reduce electricity prices. Renewable energy provides affordable electricity as these technologies have negligible variable costs which contributes to reduced wholesale prices. This is in stark contrast to conventional plants which have more expensive fuel costs. Although the cost of investment is high, on a unitary basis, future costs are expected to decline as technology becomes more efficient.
Job creation: Studies show that renewable energy is associated with significant job creation. Although countries that manufacture, install and export renewable energy technologies are likely to create the largest share of gross jobs, countries without this local industry will also benefit from new jobs related to development, construction and, once renewable plants are commissioned, operation and maintenance activities. Compared to conventional technologies, the renewable energy industry is more labour-intensive, meaning that, on average, more jobs are created for each unit of electricity generated from renewables than from conventional technologies.
According to the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts, investing in renewable energy is around 300 per cent more effective than investing in fossil fuel or nuclear jobs. This study concludes that for every million dollars invested in the wind sector it creates 13 jobs. In contrast, only 5 jobs would be created in the natural gas sector and 7 in the coal sector.
BENEFITS FOR OUR CLIMATE
Renewable energy plants produce zero to few greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. In contrast, conventional energy generation is responsible for most of the human-produced GHG emissions, which trap heat in the atmosphere, driving up our planet's temperature, raising the level of our oceans ("global warming") and provoking harmful consequences on our health, climate and environment.
Therefore, increasing the deployment of renewable energy is probably the most effective way to fight global warming as it allows the replacement of fuel-burning plants with cleaner energy facilities.
BENEFITS FOR OUR HEALTH
Renewable energy sources promote a cleaner air space since they avoid GHG emissions coming from thermal generation. Also, renewable energy sources reduce the amount of oil, gas and coal mining necessary, and therefore, reduce the likelihood of accidental spills and nuclear accidents that these activities may cause. In addition, renewables technologies typically don´t require water to operate and therefore neither pollute water resources, nor compete for them.
2.2. COMPETITIVENESS OF MATURE TECHNOLOGIES
ARE RENEWABLE ENERGIES A LUXURY?
When one needs to decide which electricity generation technology to invest in, to support or to be used to cope with the incremental electricity demand, there is a divide between renewable energies and conventional technologies. This division is also very commonly discussed in daily conversations between people around the world.
Apart from the economic and environmental benefits of the different technologies, as well as the different characteristics of each option, it is of the upmost importance to analyse the total costs of each of the options through the entire lifetime of operation. The most accurate measure to analyse the total cost of each technology is by comparing the Levelized Cost of Energy ("LCOE").
Today, when comparing the LCOE of different technologies, there are renewable technologies which are less expensive than conventional technologies. This is clear in the case of onshore wind technology, which is benefiting from a sharp reduction in the investment costs per MWh and thus leading to stronger competitiveness. The evolution of the investment cost is driven by technological progress and increasing economies of scale.
Onshore wind projects with robust load factors are already competitive with new CCGT (combined cycle gas turbine) power options, even in the US which is benefiting from lower gas costs due to boom in shale gas production. In Brazil, as shown in the latest energy auctions, wind has proven to be the most competitive option (ex-hydro) ahead of biomass and CCGTs.

It is also true that, in terms of LCOE, there are renewable technologies, such as wind offshore, solar CSP, ocean current, tidal, among others, that are not yet mature and must continue to increase their competitiveness if wide scale deployment is to be reached.
2.1.3. PRICE VS. COST
IS IT ACCURATE TO COMPARE DAILY WHOLESALE ELECTRICITY PRICES WITH RENEWABLES COSTS?
One of the main arguments used to characterize renewable energy as expensive is by comparing its costs with electricity wholesale prices. With this, renewable energy costs are being compared to the variable costs of the electricity system, namely the variable cost of conventional technologies. So is it accurate to make this analysis when wholesale prices only reflect the variable cost of production of conventional technologies and not its full cost?
From EDPR's perspective it is inaccurate to make this comparison as:
-
- Renewable energy uses technology with negligible variable costs and so – despite various dispatch priorities – are the most effective and the first to sell its production thus contributing to lowering wholesale prices (in periods with very strong renewable production wholesale prices tend to zero). Renewable energies are creating a benefit for the system that is not being attributed to them.
-
- It is important to recognize that wholesale electricity markets are a highly competitive, and existing conventional generation facilities do not account for the initial capital investment when bidding to capture
WIND ENERGY IMPACT ON PRICE
Wholesale price evolution in Spain in December 2013 is a good example of this. The first two weeks of December were unusually low in terms of wind resource, which led to a sharp increase of the wholesale price, up to its record value (93€/MWh on December, 8). However, meteorological conditions drastically changed at the end of the month and high wind generation made wholesale price plummet (5€/MWh on December, 25).
demand. It is also relevant to note that some conventional technologies are not covering their full costs with the wholesale price and therefore are not sustainable in the long run. There are conventional
technologies that receive additional revenue on top of the wholesale price, including capacity payments and payments for ancillary grid-support services.
- The average life of the different assets in the energy mix distorts the analyses as comparisons are made between renewable assets with few years of operation with conventional facilities where the investment costs are already partially or fully amortised.
The problem of market prices not reflecting the cost structure of energy facilities is not specific to renewable energy. Electricity generation is generally a capital-intensive industry and the variable price obtained in wholesale energy markets is not sufficient to cover the full cost structure, as wholesale markets only create competition and pressure on the company's variable costs. To reduce the high risk attributed by investors to this type of investments – due to the volatility of wholesale markets and the low visibility on the recapture of fixed cost component –regulatory systems were established.
In order to improve competition and to provide investor visibility on returns, ex-ante competition should be introduced to attribute licenses for new generation facilities. With this process, only the best and most efficient projects would be installed.
EDPR believes that long-term contracting is the most efficient way to remunerate generators as it entails the lowest possible cost for consumers by reducing the investment risk for operators and providing long-term visibility on returns.
The rationale is that, as electricity generation investments are capital-intensive, they require stability and visibility. When the regulatory framework doesn´t allow for this stability and visibility (for example, when participating in the wholesale spot market), investors will require a higher risk-premium. On the contrary, schemes providing higher visibility entail lower risk for the equity investor, lower financing costs for the financing entities that will allow lower cost of capital, and therefore lower the required profitability. Lower required profitability will translate into lower required remuneration, which will be passed to the final consumers that will benefit from lower electricity tariffs for the same level of renewable penetration.
2.4. INVESTMENTS AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES
In 2013, according to the Global Wind Energy Council ("GWEC") 35.5 GW of new wind capacity were installed. China remains the main driver of global growth by adding 16.5 GW, nearly half of the total global new wind capacity, and reached 91 GW of installed capacity. According to the European Wind Energy Association ("EWEA"), 11.7 GW were installed in Europe during 2013, bringing the total installed capacity in the region to 121 GW, while based on the American Wind Energy Association ("AWEA") only 1.1 GW were installed in the US reaching a total installed capacity of 61 GW.
EUROPE
In the European Union (EU-28) the total wind capacity by the end of 2013 amounted to 117.3 GW and the electricity produced covered 8% of electricity demand. The year was marked by an increase in offshore technologies.
An annual addition of 11.1 GW, according to EWEA, represents a year over year decrease of 8%. The lower growth rate is reflection of the regulatory and political uncertainty in some European markets. However, despite the slowdown in yearly additions, wind power was the technology which installed the most, accounting for 32% of the new additions.
The new installations were mainly concentrated in two countries, Germany (3.2 GW) and the UK (1.9 GW), with an increasing presence in offshore wind. Germany continues to lead the European market in terms of installed capacity. Rounding out the top 5 are Poland (894 MW), Sweden (724 MW), and Romania (695 MW). EDPR is well positioned in several of these top markets.
Traditional large markets of Spain, Italy, and France saw their rate of new wind projects decrease in 2013, by 84%, 65% and 24% respectively, where regulatory changes in Spain drove the significant decline.
The offshore market in Europe had a record year in terms of new installation by adding an additional 1.6 GW, representing a 34% increase from 2012. For the year, Europe reached 6.6 GW of offshore wind installed capacity spread across 11 countries with the UK alone adding 733 MW, strengthening its worldwide offshore leadership, followed by Denmark (350 MW), Germany (240 MW), Belgium (192 MW) and Sweden (48 MW).
AMERICAS
Uncertainty regarding the extension of the Production Tax Credit ("PTC") and Investment Tax Credit ("ITC") led to a dramatic 92% decrease in installed capacity to 1.1 GW in the United States. However, once the extensions were received, a flurry of construction activity ensued resulting in a record 12 GW of new projects under construction by year end, according to AWEA. 2014 will be a solid year for growth as these projects come online. For the rest of the region, Canada installed 1.6 GW of wind additions, including EDPR's first project with 30 MW, while in Mexico 623 MW were added. Latin America was strongly represented by Brazil, another EDPR market, as it installed 948 MW, followed by Chile (130 MW), and Argentina (76 MW).
The renewable energy market is a growing and increasingly competitive arena which should continue to do well as investment costs decline and regulatory and general support is achieved.

3. EDPR INTEGRATED OPERATIONS
3.1. PREMIUM ASSETS
3.1.1. CAPACITY
EDPR IS A WORLDWIDE MARKET LEADER

With a top quality portfolio present in eleven countries, EDPR has a strong track record and proven capability to execute superior projects and deliver on targets. The installed asset base of 8.5 GW is not only young, on average 5 years; it is also certified in terms of sustainability and safety standards.
Since 2009, EDPR has increased its installed capacity by 2,913 MW, resulting in a total installed capacity of 8,489 MW. As of year-end 2013, EDPR had installed 4,738 MW in Europe, 3,667 MW in North America and 84 MW in Brazil.
During 2013 EDPR added 502 MW to its installed capacity, of which 472 MW were in Europe and 30 MW in North America.
2013 INSTALLATIONS CONCENTRATED IN GROWTH MARKETS
The largest growth in MW occurred due to the 180 MW installed in Poland, maintaining the growth in the country and consolidating its leading position.
In Romania, 172 MW were installed, 160 MW of wind and 12 MW of solar PV. The installations of these new solar MW reinforces the objective of developing new technologies to further diversify EDPR's portfolio and provide additional growth avenues.
In Iberia, EDPR installed 70 MW (including 66 MW attributable to EDPR through the Eólicas de Portugal consortium). The interest in the Eólicas de Portugal consortium totalled 455 MW by year end. Spain's installed capacity of 2.3 GW remains unchanged vs. last year as significant changes were made in the remuneration framework for the renewable sector, including the removal of specific remunerations previously received and the standardization of returns on profitability.
EDPR added 8 MW to its installed capacity in France and completed the extension of the Chimay wind farm, adding 14 MW in Belgium.
2013 marked EDPR's first full year operating in Italy and 30 additional MW were installed, which originated from the existing pipeline.
In North America, EDPR reached a total installed capacity of 3,667 MW with the completion of its first project in Canada. The South Branch project located in Ontario has an installed capacity of 30 MW. With the successful execution of its first wind project in Canada, EDPR adds to its already diversified portfolio a market with a low risk profile and an attractive wind resource.
EDPR's wind installed capacity in Brazil totalled 84 MW and is fully covered under the incentive programs for renewable energy development. Although no new capacity was added during the year, EDPR secured 116 MW of long term PPAs during the December auction, securing future growth.
MW CERTIFIED ISO 14001 AND OHSAS 18001

NEARLY 100% ISO14001 AND OHSAS 18001 CERTIFIED CAPACITY IN EUROPE
EDPR's capacity follows the highest standards to preserve the environment along with the health and safety of the employees. This commitment is recognized with the environmental certification ISO 14001 and Health & Safety certification OHSAS 18001. These certifications cover almost a 100% of our operations in Europe.
In North America, EDPR is currently pursuing ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications for all of its wind farms.
2013 PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
SOUTH BRANCH: CANADA / 30 MW
South Branch will represent EDPR's first operating wind farm in Canada and is an important first step towards establishing a long-term presence in a market that is strongly committed to environmental leadership and clean energy supply.
LATERZA & CASTELLANETA: ITALY / 30 MW
Laterza (14 MW) and Castellaneta (16 MW) are part of the pipeline fully developed by EDPR. The projects were awarded long term contracts in the first auction on January 2013 and the construction was completed in less than 8 months. During the construction of the project, EDPR's team of experts had to create an innovative type of foundation to compensate for the poor and irregular quality of the soil.
FACAENI: ROMANIA / 132 MW
Facaeni is one of the largest wind farms built in Romania. Due to a strong local presence and expertise, this project was built in record time for a project of this size and despite the challenging weather conditions.
GOLANCZ: POLAND /80 MW
Adding to the existing leadership in Poland, EDPR installed one of its largest wind farms in the area. This along with the additional 100 MW installed during the year solidified the market leading position.


3.1.2. GENERATION
NEARLY 2X INCREASE OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS
EDPR generated 19.9 TWh during 2013, enough to cover an entire year of electricity demand for large metropolitan cities like Madrid, Lisbon, Bucharest, and Houston.

The 8% year over year increase in the electricity output benefited from the capacity additions over the last 12 months and the strong wind resource in Europe throughout 2013.
EDPR achieved a 30% load factor during 2013, which is +0.6pp higher over last year, maintaining its leading position within the wind sector and reflecting the intrinsic quality of the wind farms.
EDPR also achieved a stellar 98% availability. EDPR continues to leverage on its competitive advantages to maximize wind farm output and on its diversified portfolio to mitigate the wind volatility risk.
PREMIUM PERFORMANCE AND DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO DELIVERS BALANCED OUTPUT
EDPR's operations in Europe were the main driver for the electricity production growth in 2013, increasing by +15% YoY to 9.5 TWh and represented 48% of the total output (45% in 2012). This performance was driven by strong output growth across all European regions. EDPR achieved a 28% load factor in Europe, +2pp vs. 2012, further reflecting the strong wind resource.

| West | 1.018 | 3% | 29% | 3 pp |
| BRAZIL | 230 | -1% | 31% | (0 pp) |
Both Spain and Portugal delivered a 29% load factor (vs. 27% in 2012), primarily due to the outstanding performance in the first and fourth quarter of 2013. In Spain, EDPR delivered once again a solid premium over the Spanish market average load factor (+2pp).
The Rest of Europe operations delivered a 25% load factor (24% in 2012) and posted higher year over year generation. Romania increased its production by 226 GWh as new capacity and solid resource contributed to the strong performance. Higher production in Poland was mainly due to a full year of operations for capacity installed in 2012. Italy generated 83 GWh in its first operational year.
In North America, EDPR's electricity output increased to 10.1 TWh (+2% YoY), supported by a higher average MW in operation in light of the lower load factor. Events not related to the wind resource resulted in a slightly lower load factor of 32% (33% in 2012); however, excluding this impact the load factor would be in line with the previous year.
In 2013, EDPR's output in Brazil decreased 1% YoY to 230 GWh, as a result of a lower wind resource during the third quarter, and led to a stable load factor of 31%. The Tramandai wind farm continues to deliver above average load factors.
CARBON FREE EMISSIONS
The 19.9 TWh of electricity produced has zero carbon emissions, thus contributing to the world's fight against climate change. Based on each countries' thermal emission factors, an estimate of 16 million tons of CO2
CO2 EQ AVOIDED(kt)
equivalent emissions were avoided that would have otherwise been emitted by burning fossil fuels to generate the same amount of electricity in the geographies where EDPR is present.

3.1.3. SELLING PRICE
As a part of maintaining a low risk profile, EDPR's coverage of installed capacity under regulated or long term remuneration schemes increased to 93%.
The average selling price decreased by 2% to €62.4/MWh (-€1.1/MWh YoY), driven mainly by regulatory changes in Spain (-9% YoY) partially offset by a higher production mix towards European output (48% vs. 45%) and a higher average selling price in the US (+3% YoY) and Brazil (+8% YoY).
EDPR'S BALANCED PORTFOLIO HELPS MINIMIZE THE IMPACT FROM NEW REGULATIONS
The 2013 average selling price in Europe decreased 6% YoY to €88.7/MWh (€94.2/MWh in 2012) mainly due to lower selling prices throughout the countries, except for France (indexed to inflation) and Belgium (PPA with a fixed price). In Portugal, the lower price was driven by the above average wind resource, ultimately resulting in higher revenues.

In Spain, changes in the remuneration framework, that were previously announced, drove the decline. The new framework, defined in RDL 9/2013, includes the removal of remuneration received for reactive power (up to €3.5/MWh) and sets the profitability of all assets at the Spanish 10-year Bond yield plus 300 basis points. The net result is a steep decline in the remuneration received as the average selling price fell to €80.0/MWh or a 9% year over year decline. As the production of Spain contributes to nearly 30% of EDPR´s generation, the impact is significant.
Although the average selling price in Portugal decreased to €99.3/MWh (-3% YoY), it was more than compensated by the increase in electricity output. All the wind farms that contribute to Portugal´s EBITDA are under the old remuneration scheme. Under this scheme there is a negative correlation between the price and the annual working hours. Whenever, there is a stronger wind resource, the final realized price will tend to be lower as a result of the tariff formula.
In Romania, the average selling price decreased to €110.9/MWh (-19% YoY). A key component of the remuneration scheme is the sale of Green Certificates (GCs). Renewable operators generate GCs based on the electricity output and have the option to sell them during monthly auctions. During the year, Romania approved Emergency Government Ordinance 57/2013, which caused uncertainty in the GC market leading to a decline in prices; however, there was a recovery during the fourth quarter. The new legislation does not change the number of GCs earned but rather delays the ability to sell 1GC for wind and 2GC for solar projects to 2017.
In Poland, the average selling price decreased to €95.6/MWh (-6% YoY). Similar to the remuneration scheme in Romania, renewable projects receive green certificates, which can be sold, and prices based on the spot market. During the year, several factors resulted in lower energy and green certificate market prices such as a decline in fuel and CO2 prices and decreased electricity demand.
In France, the selling price improved 1% YoY to €90.2/MWh, while in Belgium it remained stable at €112.0/MWh due to the long-term PPA contracts in place.
In Italy, the above average selling price achieved reached €137.6/MWh, benefiting from the favourable remuneration scheme.
US MARKET SHOWS SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT AS PRICES INCREASE
In the United States, the electricity generated from EDPR´s projects are primarily sold under long term power purchase agreements with fixed escalators or sold merchant on the spot market with short-term hedges. The average selling price increased 3% YoY to \$48.6/MWh, driven mainly by a greater weight of output from projects with PPAs (which usually have annual price escalators) and an improvement of prices in the spot market.
Average selling prices for wind farms under PPA increased 2% YoY to \$52.6/MWh, resulting from the contracted price escalators and the contribution of new PPAs. Selling prices for the production exposed to wholesale electricity increased 2% YoY to \$31.9/MWh, benefiting from the recovery in wholesale gas prices from an average of \$2.8/MMBtu in 2012 to \$3.7/MMBtu in 2013.

From the beginning of 2013, EDPR has secured 1,200 MW of new wind energy PPAs. 250 MW for projects that were already in operation and 950MW will be installed over the next 3 years starting in 2014. The MW to be installed are backed by seven PPAs and are spread across the United States in five different states (California, Oklahoma, Kansas, Maine, and Indiana). In addition to the wind energy PPAs, EDPR has also secured two PPAs for 30 MW of solar plants to be installed in California. In line with EDPR´s growth strategy of expanding in to new technologies, the planned solar plant will be the first for EDPR in the North American market, capitalizing on both the attractiveness of the investment and the expertise gained from the installation of solar plants in Romania starting in 2012.
2013 MANAGEMENT REPORT : EDP RENOVÁVEIS
Risk management is critical when the price received from generating electricity is subject to the uncertainty in the wholesale market. In order to improve certainty and decrease exposure to volatile spot prices, EDPR entered into power futures contracts, partially hedging US merchant exposure. This allowed EDPR to secure a fixed price for a stated volume and provide price stability and effectively reduce the monthly cash flow volatility due to the variation in market-driven electricity prices.
BRAZIL PRICES INCREASE IN LINE WITH ESCALATORS
In 2013, the average selling price in Brazil increased 8% to R\$309.2/MWh, reflecting the updated PPA price in accordance with the adjustment for inflation.

3.2. EXCELLENCE IN OPERATIONS
Given the nature of the renewable energy business where excellence in development, construction and operations are paramount to ensure project success, EDPR prides itself in having developed competencies in all of these areas that set it apart from other players in the industry.
These areas of expertise are not limited to the more technical aspects of the business, such as the design of the wind farms, but encompass every aspect from environmental issues to the work developed in partnership with local communities. Most importantly these areas are supported by the knowledge and know-how of EDPR's team of young, highly skilled employees.
It is their tireless effort in the design, construction and day-to-day operation of our renewable power plants that drives our industry leading efficiency metrics.

3.2.1 DEVELOPMENT
Industry leading load factors
16.3 GW of pipeline under development
Environmental and social criteria in project selection
EDPR vs. Spanish Market Average

The development stage of the project is by far the most critical. The choice of location, wind farm layout or wind turbine generator will influence the top-line return of the project for the next 25 years of operations. Once the wind farm is up and running, certain adjustments can be made to maximize output and reduce costs, however the fundamental drivers of return were decided years before, during development.
Finding the prime locations to build our wind farms and defining the optimal placing of the turbines is critical for a project's success. Placing the turbine in a sub-optimal location could significantly reduce a wind turbine's net capacity factor. For this reason, EDPR has implemented a thorough process that ensures the quality of the new additions to the global portfolio and tries to anticipate during the early stages of the development if a project will meet the highest standards defined by the company.
However, not only technical factors are taken into consideration during this initial process. Social and environmental aspects of potential sites are evaluated
before initiating the permitting process, following our environmental and biodiversity policy commitments, in order to ensure that our development portfolio only considers projects that can meet our highest environmental standards.
WIND FARM LAYOUT DESIGN
EDPR uses a two stage process to determine the optimal layout for a wind farm to maximize the profitability of the project. This process is carried out by one of the most experienced teams in the industry, including experts with more than 10 years of experience.
One of the first steps of developing a project is to use complex mathematical models to produce a series of layout options. Information on wind speeds, wind direction, foundation costs and zone restrictions are among the many variables considered in the model. Once these options are developed it's also important to consider the potential losses in energy output due to the "wake effect".
This effect relates to the loss of energy and increased turbulence caused by rotating blades on downstream wind turbines. It is important to anticipate the potential impact and adjust the layout accordingly because once a wind farm is built no further changes can be made without a sizeable impact. The ultimate goal is to design a layout that will capture the maximum amount of the wind resource, minimize construction costs and avoid unsustainable areas.
Since a wind farm can become a part of the local community, their input is also critical to achieve our goals. Early engagement provides a valuable understanding of the social considerations of the sites and also ensures a good and smooth development. During this process, potential conditions that might be attached to the consent of the wind farm are discussed. These conditions can influence the layout, construction techniques, scheduling, post-consent monitoring, and studies. Public consultations are a standard practice to understand social considerations and are well attended by the locals and often receive coverage in the local media.
WIND TURBINE GENERATOR CHOICE
As well as optimizing the layout of the wind farm, great effort is taken into choosing the best fit wind turbine generator for each site. When developing a new project our technical and procurement teams work closely to choose the model that will provide the best all-round profitability for the project. This is a delicate balance between the technical specifications of each model and the price offered by the manufacturer. The model selected is based on maximizing return, which based on the economics, could come at the expense of maximizing production.
EDPR manages more than 70 wind turbine models from 9 different suppliers in its global portfolio. The experience gained in working with a diversified portfolio of models helps ensure low turbine supply risk, high productivity and competitive pricing among turbine manufacturers.
3.2.2. ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION
502 MW built during 2013
>200 turbines erected in 2013
Personnel safety injury rate decreased 40%
A main goal of EDPR's engineering and construction team is to build highly efficient wind farms, while closely monitoring the investment costs, and to design wind farms that will require minimal infrastructure maintenance costs during the useful life of the asset. This is done with strict adherence to local and internal construction standards, considering on-site conditions and minimizing the impact on local communities and the environment.
During the engineering phase EDPR's teams perform deep geological researches with the aim of avoiding uncertainties during construction as well as designing optimal foundations, roads and platforms. The proper design of roads and other structures minimizes the use of earthworks, which ultimately reduces the construction costs of each project.
The electrical infrastructure requires equal time and effort. In this stage the choice of cables takes into consideration the best economics as well as the technical characteristics of the wind turbines to ultimately design the best electrical grid crossing.
The infrastructure investments developed have an ultimate positive benefit for the surrounding communities. The reinforcement of the existing electricity networks and the rehabilitation of existing roads, or the construction of new roads, is a valuable asset for the surrounding communities who may be able to use the developed infrastructure to access remote locations. Moreover, an upgraded electricity distribution system can increase the quality of the electricity supply by increasing stability and reducing outages.
The presence of EDPR in the area encourages economic development of the region, which can see an influx of temporary construction workers that brings local spending and increased sales tax revenue. Closely collaborating with stakeholders is important to ensure they maximize the value generated.
In the construction phase, EDPR stands out through its contract strategy and procurement process, among others. EDPR has perfected its contract strategy to provide the best balance between price and risk. This is done through several turnkey contracts for the wind turbines, construction works and electrical infrastructure that guarantee internal leadership in the construction management, whilst reducing the prices and controlling the schedule and possible deviations.
MAIN STAGES OF WIND FARM CONSTRUCTION

1 – Construction of access roads.
2 – Foundations and Pads. Depending on the terrain construction of the wind farm foundation can be a difficult task. In EDPR's Facaeni wind farm, due to the soil conditions the foundation had to be built with 18 piles per turbine.
3 – Collector system (cables that link the wind turbine to the substation).
4 – Wind turbine generator (WTG) transport. The size and weight of the wind turbines means that transport is a logistical challenge. Turbines are moved in sections with some weighing in excess of 70 tons.
- 5 WTG installation.
- 6 Substation.
- 7 Evacuation line.
With regards to the procurement process, EDPR has implemented a process that guarantees technical considerations and competitive pricing. This includes a bidding process for several contractors with several stages of negotiations. Commercial and technical assessments are carried out in parallel to get the best commercial offer (economics, guarantees, low risk, financing) to assure the whole scope is included and quality and technical specifications are fulfilled.
Environmental requirements and best practices are also included in the bidding documentation or in specific environmental management plans. The construction of our projects brings many external partners and we believe it is essential to involve the entire value chain in order to guarantee that they are aligned with our environmental strategy. EDPR performs monitoring plans to ensure that the environmental requirements are met and in the unlikely event that an unexpected environmental impact is identified we are able to quickly implement the corrective measure.
A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS

3.2.3. OPERATIONS
>5000 turbines remotely operated
97.7% availability
NEVERENDING ENERGY
42
CO2 free electricity with a small water and waste footprint

As the operator of a global fleet of 8.5 GW, EDPR places great attention on effectively managing its assets. Ensuring that operations and maintenance costs are kept to a minimum through the useful life of the wind farms, and maximizing their return is cornerstone of this process.
In addition to its leading O&M strategy and remote operations infrastructure, EDPR continues to seek gains year after year in other areas such as improved warehouse logistics, better power forecasting and leaner operations. Minor improvements in any of these areas multiply into significant cost savings for the company and its shareholders.
IMPROVING POWER FORECASTING
During the day-to-day operation of a wind farm, forecasting plays a critical role as it allows EDPR to accurately predict the future energy generation. If wind farms are able to accurately forecast there energy production they can minimize imbalance costs and help improve the energy system as a whole. Energy imbalances happen when actual production or usage of energy is lower/higher that the scheduled amount. If a wind farm produces less energy that it forecasted it will have to pay the energy system authority for this deviation. To avoid such costs it is imperative that wind farm energy forecasts are as accurate as possible.
As with layout optimization, forecasting of energy production falls on EDPR's energy assessment team. In this case state-of-the art physical and statistical modelling is used to predict the wind resource for all our wind farms on an hourly basis. The availability of on-site wind data and advances in meteorological modelling has significantly helped improve the forecasting ability over the last years. However certain challenges remain such as accounting for thermal winds, complex terrain, very high winds and the impact from icing.
To deal with some of these problems EDPR has implemented a successful program to identify and correct periods of curtailment or unavailability. Our teams periodically analyse the millions of data points collected to identify problems and implement corrections. This program has resulted in a 10% improvement in the forecasting of production from some critical wind farms throughout 2013.
ASSET OPERATIONS
EDPR's top line revenues are the result of the product of two key factors, energy generated and selling price. As a result, selling the energy generated at attractive prices whilst reducing volatility is as important as maximizing production.
EDPR's energy management team uses long-term power purchasing agreements signed with local off takers to stabilize the energy price received for as long as 20 years. Additionally, depending on the specificities of each contract, exposure to other market uncertainties is also reduced. 93% of EDPR's capacity is covered either by the
Guaranteeing a healthy and safe work environment for our employees and contractors is fundamental in all aspects of the business. EDPR's Health and Safety policy, available on our website, reflects the company's commitment to the prevention of occupational risks associated with our activities.
To support our strategy on health and safety, we have implemented proper management systems. These systems are adapted to each country, with specific standards and procedures based on the regulation and best practices.
The Management System is being certified OHSAS 18001:2007. At the end of 2013, the certification covered 3,387 MW, representing 42% of EDPR's installed capacity. The certification was additionally extended to Belgium and Romania.
During 2013, EDPR registered a substantial improvement in its health & safety ratios. The number of accidents registered for employees and contractor personnel reduced by 50%, an improvement towards our zero accidents goal stated in our Health & Safety policy.
regulatory stability of country specific frameworks or long-term PPAs and the remaining 7% is exposed to the changes in energy spot markets. To further reduce its exposure to spot markets, following our low risk strategy, EDPR uses short-term hedging instruments to sell energy at fixed prices.
During 2013 EDPR signed 1,200 MW of long-term PPA in the US and contracted short-term hedges in at least 4 geographies.
M3 MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
During the first years of a wind farm's life, operations and maintenance of the wind turbine generators is usually guaranteed by the turbine manufacturer. Once this period has finished, EDPR must decide on the optimal maintenance system that will reduce costs, whilst maintaining high levels of availability. To deal with this problem EDPR has implemented a successful O&M program called M3 (Modular Maintenance Model). Depending on the country, turbine type, historical performance and other technical aspects, our O&M teams will decide on the optimal balance between external contractors and in-house maintenance. Usually, EDPR keeps control of high value-added activities such as maintenance planning, logistics and remote operations while outsourcing, under direct supervision, people intensive tasks.
This strategy has resulted in high costs savings for the company. When compared with other post-warranty wind farms under full scope O&M contracts, the costs savings achieve 15% and reaches 20% when compared with wind farms under their initial warranty.
EDPR'S LEAN PROGRAM
Launched in 2011, EDPR's Lean program focuses on optimizing process across the company's business using the lean-six sigma methodology. The objective is to leverage front-line personnel ideas and experience to improve the company's revenues and costs, improve safety and reduce environmental impact.
Within this strategy EDPR has implemented two programs, "Daily Lean" and "Lean improvement". The first applies continuous improvement to the day-to-day activities at our wind farms, with the objective of reducing repetitive and non-value added tasks. Improving the tracking of repaired components and warehouse layout are two examples of the results of this program.
The second program "Lean Improvement", developed together between our performance engineers and our field personnel, identifies and solves issues that are common to a fleet of turbines or part of a fleet. This program implemented changes that help reduce the impact of lightning damage and reduce gearbox overheating among many others.
BEYOND OPERATIONS
A GREEN ENERGY WITH A SMALL FOOTPRINT

- EDPR mitigates climate change; increase in global temperature and other symptoms of climate change such as extreme weather events will greatly reduce the biodiversity in most parts of the world
- EDPR takes precautionary measures to avoid locating wind farms in areas where they could pose risks to biodiversity.
- EDPR defines preventive, corrective and compensatory measures to reach an overall positive balance of our projects and activities
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
EDPR is very conscious of the importance of proper management of environmental matters in the wind farms in operation, which is assured through the Environmental Management System (EMS). The system ensures compliance with legal requirements and focuses on relevant environmental aspects, while setting environmental objectives and targets to improve environmental performance at country and platform levels. In the US, EDPR has completed the implementation of an EMS for all of its operating wind farms and the platform is currently pursuing ISO 14001 certification.
3.2.4. HUMAN CAPITAL
To attract, develop and retain talent is a main goal of EDPR's Human Resources strategy. At EDPR, our people are very important and we, as a responsible employer, want to retain them by offering quality employment that can be balanced with personal life.
Despite a difficult macroeconomic environment, our employee base increased by three percent over last year to reach 890. New employees have the opportunity to join a company with a strong work culture that emphasizes team work within a diverse environment represented by 24 nationalities.
We strive to offer our workforce with opportunities to develop professionally and to assume new roles to reach the company's goals. Our employees are distributed globally as 24% of our employees work at EDPR Holding, 44% within the European Platform, 29% within the North American Platform and 2% in Brazil. All are encouraged to take advantage of the functional and geographic mobility opportunities so they can assume more responsibilities.

In 2013, EDPR hired 91 employees, 32% of which are women. EDPR additionally offered 87 long term internships and 18 summer internships.
INTEGRATION
EDPR has a strong company culture, and wants new hires to be able to understand this culture and quickly adopt it in their day-to-day activities. To encourage this, new hires are involved in a number of workshops and team building activities aimed at improving integration and gaining a better understanding of the company.
Our Welcome Day, a three day event for new hires, allows new employees to obtain basic knowledge of the company, our business, and depending on the employee's profile, a visit to one of the wind farms or the remote control dispatch centre. During 2013, EDPR introduced a new integration tool called the Induction Plan. New hires spend a few days at the corporate headquarters and are guided by colleagues from different areas to learn key aspects of their job and gain a better understanding of their work and how it contributes to the mission of EDPR.

BENEFITS& WORK LIFE BALANCE
BENEFITS
EDPR is committed to offer a competitive compensation and benefits package to recognize the work and talent of our employees. The compensation policy addresses the needs of local markets and provides flexibility to adapt to the specifics of each region. In addition to a fixed base compensation, there is a variable component that depends on a performance evaluation measured against the company's performance, area and individual KPIs.
Our performance based compensation is an important tool to promote a greater focus from our employees on not only the company's objectives but personal and team objectives as well. In order to be competitive in the marketplace and recruit the best talent, EDPR reviews and benchmarks itself against local markets in order to offer the most attractive benefits packages. For example, in 2013, EDPR extended the coverage of its life and accident insurances to 100% of the employees.
WORK LIFE BALANCE
At EDPR, we understand the importance of maintaining a balance between work and personal commitments. This understanding has led to an increase of employees' satisfaction, while boosting productivity, and morale.
EDPR has work-life balance programs and aims to constantly improve and provide the most suitable benefits to employees. Often specific benefits are only applicable to certain countries in which EDPR is present. As an example of normalizing key benefits across the countries, EDPR employees in the United States can now enjoy extended maternity leave, as it is a common practice in Europe.
Since 2011, EDPR's practices have been recognized with the Family Responsible Employer Certification (EFR-Empresa Familiarmente Responsable) by the MásFamilia Foundation, in Spain. This certification reflects EDPR's commitment to promote a healthy work-life balance for its employees. EDPR stood out for its effectiveness in terms of scheduling flexibility, family support, equal opportunities and its ambitious policy of continuous improvement.
EDPR does not limit itself to only providing benefits to the community through the construction of new wind farms and solar plants. Employees are also encouraged to actively participate in their communities and to be responsive and aware of emerging needs through many volunteering initiatives sponsored by EDPR's Volunteering Program. Employees can choose from several campaigns to donate financially or participate directly in volunteering opportunities held during working hours or weekends. For example, during the Christmas holidays, a campaign was started in partnership with a NGO to raise fund for a social initiative in South America.
DEVELOPMENT & TRAINING
1.4 M€ invested in training
33 hours of training per employee

Promoting talent from within is a strategic choice to ensure the long term advancement of EDPR. Recognizing that future leaders of EDPR could be present in the existing talent pool, a specific training program (HIPO) is essential to developing the skills of these high potential employees. In 2013, EDPR launched an innovative coaching program for those in the HIPO program. The objective is to enhance the professional development and soft skills through one on one coaching/mentoring session with a senior leader.
RENEWABLE ENERGY SCHOOL
In 2013, the Renewable Energy School had gained relevance as a tool aimed at sharing internal knowledge and fostering networking opportunities. The School has now established itself as a platform for knowledge sharing and exchange of best practices across the company and has been tasked with delivering the core programme within the defined EDPR employees' Training Roadmap.
The objective of the EDP University training is to familiarize employees with the core business of the company and to broaden their horizons by providing them with an overview of the strategic challenges that the company faces.
During 2013, the Renewable Energy School delivered 34 training sessions across Europe and the US, representing 7.444 hours
and a total of 761 attendances. During this period, the School engaged 67 internal experts as trainers for these courses and has successfully implemented the strategy of reaching out to EDPR local offices by organizing courses in 8 different locations.
PROMOTIONS & MOBILITY
All our employees are covered by our performance evaluation system that collects information from several data sources to evaluate employee performance.
In the context of fostering workers' growth through diversity of experience, EDPR encourages professional mobility. To support the global growth strategy, mobility is of upmost importance as a powerful tool to share EDPR culture and best practices with new markets where we plan to enter.
During 2013, 41 employees had functional or geographical mobility and, including 10 new expats during the year, making a total of 25 expats.
COMMUNICATION
At EDPR, it is important to have open lines of communications with employees. Different measures were implemented to gather and analyse opinions and suggestions. EDPR's CEO is keen on connecting with employees and will regularly hold organized meetings with a small group of employees to discuss important issues in an open forum. Continuous feedback between areas, through various means, is important to eliminate silos and encourage greater and more efficient teamwork.
In addition to open communication channels established between employees, satisfaction surveys are conducted every two years to gather opinions and gain an understanding of the motivation and satisfaction level of employees. The participation rate in this year's survey reached 95% with a satisfaction score of 77%.
In addition, EDPR continued among the 50 best companies to work in the GPTW Rankings in Spain, UK and Poland, where we pursued this recognition.

MEETING WITH THE CEO
Based on the feedback of our employees, we have organized during 2013 meetings sessions between our employees and the CEO.
During these meetings, employees are given the opportunity to share their point of view of the business from their positions and learn about the strategy of the company and how this relates to their day-to-day tasks. This is a great opportunity for employees to better understand their impact on the business.
In Spain, 53% of our employees already had the chance to meet the CEO. This initiative has already started in other EDPR geographies. The feedback received from our employees is very positive.

EDPR's ability to attract, develop, and retain talent is a testament to its commitment to excelling in all areas. It's no wonder that EDPR continues to be among the 50 best companies to work for as determined by the Great Place to Work rankings. A motivated workforce aligned with the company's strategy is one of the key drivers behind our ability to deliver on results during 2013.

average selling price in the US and Brazil along with a higher production mix towards Europe.
EBITDA OF 947 MILLION EUROS
EBITDA improved 1% to 947 million euros, representing a 70% EBITDA margin. EBITDA grew despite the negative cumulative impact of 71 million euros related to all 2013 Spanish regulatory changes, including a 17 million euros adjustment on sales, related to the framework (RDL 9/2013) that was announced in July 2013 and pending approval.
NET PROFIT INCREASED 7% TO 135 MILLION EUROS
The positive year over year growth in Net Profit highlights EDPR's ability to transform strong operational metrics into quality bottom-line metrics.
ROBUST CASH-FLOW
Operating Cash-Flow increased 5% to 700
million euros, which more than covered the Capex expenditure of the year.
In 2013, EDPR concluded the sale of a minority equity stake and shareholders' loans in wind farms in Portugal to CTG, and executed a sale of a minority equity stake in the US with Fiera Axium, for a combined total of 402 million euros. In October 2013, EDPR structured an additional asset rotation transaction with Axpo Group for a portfolio of wind farms in France. The financial close occurred during the first quarter of 2014.
Capital expenditures (Capex) totalled 627 million euros reflecting the capacity additions and the capacity under construction. Moreover a cash grant for 120 million dollars was collected in the US. As a result of the robust cash flow, execution of the asset rotation strategy, and close monitoring of expenditures, Net Debt decreased by 23 million euros.
STRONG BALANCE SHEET
Execution of the asset rotation strategy primarily helped increase EDPR's total equity by 340 million euros to reach 6.1 billion euros.
Total liabilities decreased 531 million euros to 7.0 billion euros. This decrease was mainly driven by lower financial debt and a decrease in accounts payables.
Total assets of 13.1 billion euros are 190 million euros lower versus last year, mainly due to the depreciation of the US Dollar.
4.1. INCOME STATEMENT
SOLID TOP LINE PERFORMANCE
EDPR continues to deliver solid operating performance results as Revenues increased 6% to 1.4 billion euros.
In addition to operating assets to generate maximum revenue, controlling costs and achieving high levels of efficiency is equally a strong focus for EDPR. Operational expenditures (Opex) - defined as Operating Costs excluding Other operating income – increased 10% to 451 million euros. The increase is mostly a result of the 7% tax on electricity sales introduced in Spain during the year, which negatively impacted results by 32 million
euros. On a per MW basis, the ratio is higher versus 2012; however, adjusting the ratio for this tax along with write-offs, EDPR's Opex per MW actually decreased 2% as a result of strict cost control.
Other operating income totalled 42 million euros in 2013. During the beginning of the year, EDPR re-designed the off taking volumes of a long term PPA in the US, which partially contributed to the amount. The decrease versus last year is mainly due to the 32 million euros recorded, in the prior year, as a result of asset revaluation.
Despite the negative impacts from regulatory changes in Spain, EBITDA increased 1% to 947 million euros due to leading operational metrics and strict control over costs, leading to a 70% EBITDA margin.
EBIT (operating income) improved 5% to 473 million euros, reflecting the 2% lower depreciation and amortisation charges, including impairments. In 2013, EBIT was negatively impacted by 20 million euros of

At the financial results level, net financial expenses decreased 5%, as net interest costs were lower, benefiting from a lower average debt and a stable 5.2% cost of debt. Institutional partnership costs were 9% lower, while the devaluation in the Zloty and Leu led to a negative forex impact. Share of profits of associates increased 9 million euros to 16 million euros mainly due to the stronger results of ENEOP.
Pre-Tax Profit increased 24% to 226 million euros resulting in Income Taxes of 57 million euros, equivalent to a 25% effective tax rate. Non-controlling interests totalled 34 million euros, a 24 million euros increase mainly as a result of the asset rotation strategy of selling minority stakes in operational assets.
All in all, Net Profit increased 7% to 135 million euros. When adjusting 2012 and 2013 for non-recurrent events on operating income, forex differences, capital gains, and tax asset base revaluation, the Adjusted Net Profit increases to 145 million euros, an 8% increase.


4.2. BALANCE SHEET
EQUITY INCREASES BY 340 MILLION EUROS
Total Equity of 6.1 billion euros increased by 340 million euros during year, with 93 million euros attributable to non-controlling interests. The increased equity attributable to the shareholders of EDPR of 247 million euros is a result of the 135 million euros of Net Profit, reduced by the 35 million euros in dividend payments, as well as the sale of non-controlling interests which contributed 147 million euros.

With total liabilities of 7.0 billion euros, the debt-to-equity ratio of EDPR stood at 1.2x by the end of 2013, which is a year over year decrease from the 1.3x in 2012. Liabilities were mainly composed of financial debt (53%), liabilities related to institutional partnerships in the US (12%), and accounts payable (20%). Liabilities to tax equity partnerships in the US stood at 836 million euros (-106 million euros or -11% from prior year end). Deferred revenues related to institutional partnerships primarily represent the non-economic liability associated to the tax credits already realized by the institutional investor, arising from accelerated tax depreciation, and yet to be recognized as income by EDPR throughout the remaining useful lifetime of the respective assets. |

highlighting the continued de-leveraging of the company. Assets were 79% composed of net PP&E - property, plant and
equipment, reflecting the cumulative net invested capital in renewable energy generation assets.
Total net PP&E of 10.4 billion euros changed in the year for the new additions during the year of 584 million euros, and reduced by 505 million euros for depreciation charges, impairment losses and write-offs plus an additional 260 million euros due to forex conversion, mainly as the result of a weaker US Dollar.
Net intangible assets mainly include 1.3 billion euros from goodwill registered in the books, for the most part related to acquisitions in the US and Spain, while accounts receivable are mainly related to loans to related parties, trade receivables, guarantees and tax receivables.
4.3. CASH-FLOW STATEMENT
IMPROVED RECURRENT CASH FLOW
EDPR generated Operating Cash-Flow of 700 million euros, a 5% increase from the prior year. EDPR continues to benefit from the strong cash-flow generation capabilities of its assets in operation.

LONG-TERM AND STABLE DEBT PROFILE
EDPR's total Financial Debt decreased 213 million euros to 3.6 billion euros. Loans with EDP group account for 76% of the debt, while loans with financial institutions, mainly in the form of project finances, represented the remaining 24%. To continue to diversify its funding sources EDPR keeps on executing top quality projects enabling the company to secure local project finance at competitive costs. In 2013, EDPR signed two project finance transactions for a total of 112 million euros related to 130 MW of installed capacity in Poland.
As of December 2013, 59% of EDPR's financial debt was Euro denominated, while 35% was funded in US Dollar due to the investment in the US and the remaining 6% is mostly related with debt in Polish Zloty and Brazilian Real.
EDPR's debt has a long-term profile as 82% of the financial debt has a 2018 and beyond maturity. EDPR continues to follow a long-term fixed rate funding strategy and mitigate its interest rate risk by matching the operating cash-flow profile with its financial costs.
In addition to the long-term profile, stability in the average interest rate is a priority for controlling costs. 88% of the debt is financed based on a fixed rate debt profile and the average interest rate was stable at 5.2%.
INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS
Liabilities referred to as Institutional Partnerships decreased 106 million euros to 836 million euros, mainly due to tax benefits allocated to tax equity partners during the period and US Dollar depreciation.

4.5. EUROPE
REVENUES
In Europe, EDPR delivered a 9% year-on-year growth in revenues, to 844 million euros. Increasing growth in Rest of Europe led to a higher contribution to Revenues, reaching 26% in 2013 versus 24% in the prior year. Consequently, the contribution from Spain and Portugal reduced to 55% and 19%, respectively.
The performance was driven by the higher electricity output which more than offset the effect of a lower average selling price. In detail, the increase in revenues was the result of higher revenues in Rest of Europe (+34 million euros), Spain (+18 million euros) and Portugal (+11 million euros). The stronger wind resource drove revenues higher by 123 million euros whereas the lower average selling price partially offset this by 57 million euros.
AVERAGE SELLING PRICE
The average selling price in Europe decreased 6% to €89/MWh. In Spain the average selling price was impacted by changes in the remuneration framework for renewable assets and in Rest of Europe mainly by the lower realised price in Romania due to lower green certificate prices following some uncertainty created by the approval of Emergency Government Ordinance 57/2013.
OPERATING COSTS AND INCOME
REVENUES IN EUROPE

AVERAGE SELLING PRICE IN EUROPE (€/MWh)

Net Operating Costs amounted to 236 million euros due to the 30% growth in operating costs and lower other operating income. The increase is mostly explained by the 7% tax on electricity sales introduced in Spain during the year, which negatively impacted results by 32 million euros. Adjusted opex, excluding the 7% tax in Spain and write-offs, decreased 3% in MWh basis. Other operating income decreased by 34 million euros mainly due to the one-off 32 million euros recorded, in the prior year, related to asset revaluation.
EBITDA in Europe decreased 4% to 609 million euros, leading to an EBITDA margin of 72%, while EBIT reached 359 million euros.

Revenues for the period increased 4% to 648 million US Dollars, supported by a 3% increase in the average selling price and a 2% increase in production.
AVERAGE SELLING PRICE
Average selling prices for wind farms under PPA/hedge contracts increased 2%, to \$53/MWh, as a result of the contracted price escalators and the contribution of new PPAs. Selling prices for the production exposed to wholesale electricity
prices also went up by 2%, benefiting from the effect driven by the recovery in wholesale gas prices.
OPERATING COSTS AND INCOME
Net Operating Costs decreased 7% to 198 million US Dollars, given the higher other operating income in 2013 versus 2012. The increase in other operating income reflects the 18 million US Dollar restructuring impact of the off-taking volumes of a PPA for 200 MW. A strict control over costs and high efficiency levels resulted in 3% decrease in Opex per MW.
INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS AND GOVERNMENT GRANTS

Income from institutional partnerships totalled 166 million US Dollars, in line with the output of projects generating PTCs. The projects that opted for the cash grant benefited from lower depreciation charges, booked in the income statement as amortisation of government grants, totalling 23 million US Dollars.
All in all, EBITDA went up 10% to 450 million US Dollars, leading to an EBITDA margin of 69%.

REVENUES
In Brazil, EDPR reached revenues of 70 million reais, representing a 12% increase versus the prior year primarily based on the higher average selling price.
The average selling price in Brazil increased 8% to R\$309/MWh, basically reflecting the inflation indexed adjustments in the PPA.
EDPR installed capacity in Brazil is fully under incentive programs for renewable energy development. These programs provide long-term visibility, setting long-term contracts to sell the electricity produced for 20 years, which translates into a stable and visible cash-flow generation throughout the projects' life.

5. GRI REPORT
This sustainability report responds to the GRI G3.1 Guidelines indicators, and also provides information on the additional electricity sector supplement indicators directly related to the company business, which is the power generation from renewable sources.
EDPR is not a traditional utility company, as its core business is based on generating electricity from renewable sources and does not include power distribution or power commercialization. As a result exceptions may exist for GRI and Sector Supplement indicators. We also consider as our final product the electricity produced by our wind energy assets. EDPR is committed to the progressive improvement of the information provided.
According to GRI Guidelines, this chapter presents sustainability performance indicators to describe the company's performance in 2013 for each one of the applicable or material GRI indicators. This section also includes references to other chapters of this integrated report, so it can be used as an index to find the company's management approach and strategy regarding specific topics. A complete GRI index can be found at www.edpr.com.

EC2 - Financial implications and other risks and opportunities for the organization's activities due to climate change.
The non-renewable power sector is responsible for producing more than 40% of all CO2 emissions by burning fossil fuels and about 25% of the total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Promoting a shift from conventional fossil fuels to renewable energy is one of the most effective and feasible near-term ways of mitigating climate change.
The company's growth plans of pure renewable energy represent a solid commitment to foster the use of green energy sources. Moreover, we are committed to support the use the best technologies available in order to preserve natural resources and reduce pollution.

To protect the privacy of employees' wages in those countries where our headcount is smaller, we do not disclose the information by country and gender.
EC6 - Policy, practices, and proportion of spending on locally-based suppliers at significant locations of operation.
Wind energy creates many direct and indirect jobs. During the construction of our projects, the local community can see an influx of temporary construction workers that provide a positive impact on the local economy through local spending and increased sales tax revenue.
However at EDPR, there is no specific policy or in-house procedure for preferring locally based suppliers.
EC7 - Procedures for local hiring and proportion of senior management hired from the local community at significant locations of operation.
Our Code of Ethics contains specific clauses of non-discrimination and equal opportunities in line with the company's culture of diversity. This is reflected in our procedures for hiring people via a non-discriminatory selection processes. A potential employee's race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, marital status, disability, political orientation or opinions of any other nature, ethnic or social origin, place of birth or trade union membership are not considered.
There are no specific procedures explicitly requiring local recruitment. However a high percentage of our employees are hired from the same location in which the company operates.

EC8 - Development and impact of infrastructure investments and services provided primarily for public benefit through commercial, in-kind, or pro bono engagement.
Wind and solar energy require infrastructure investments which benefit surrounding communities. This includes the reinforcement of existing electricity networks and the rehabilitation of existing roads or the construction of new roads.
The investment in roads is necessary in order to transport heavy equipment (wind turbine components, power transformers, etc.) to the site during construction. The improved road system facilitates future maintenance activities after construction works, as well as improves access to remote locations for the surrounding communities. During the operation of our wind farms, these roads are maintained and further opportunities may be identified to increase the positive impact in the community.
The integration of our generation capacity may also require upgrades in the distribution and transmission grids that belong to the system operators. Those upgrades indirectly benefit the quality of service offered in the surrounding areas by minimizing electricity supply interruptions.
In 2013, EDPR invested 7.4 million Euros to developing these types of infrastructures.
EC9 - Understanding and describing significant indirect economic impacts, including the extent of impacts.
Wind and solar energies create a positive impact on the local economies in terms of turnover, Gross Value Added (GVA), employment created and also in terms of energy security.
For additional information on indirect economic impacts of our energy, please refer to the Why Invest in Renewables? Section.
EU8 - Research and development activity and expenditure aimed at providing reliable electricity and promoting sustainable development
In partnership with the different companies of the EDP Group, EDP Inovação is responsible for performing Research &Development (R&D) activity and its expenditure. A detailed disclosure of the total expenditure in R&D can be found at www.edp.pt.

Our environmental strategy focuses on three core aspects: legal compliance, management of environmental risks and continuous improvement. Numerous environmental appraisal and monitoring procedures are incorporated in all phases of the business processes ensuring that these central pillars are enforced.
This is sustained by a qualified team that is aligned with the environmental strategy of the company. Both, our environmental specialists and the network of external partners working with us, stand out for their extensive professional experience and knowledge of the environmental field.

For additional information about what sets EDPR apart in terms of environmental management, please refer to the Excellence in Operations Section.
EN4 - Indirect energy consumption by primary source.
Wind turbines require a small amount of electricity to operate. This energy consumption is generally selfconsumed. Given the intermittency of wind generation we sometimes need to consume electricity from the grid. The indirect CO2 emissions related to the consumed electricity is around 0.14% of the emissions avoided by the company.
| 2013 | 2012 | |
|---|---|---|
| Wind farms indirect emissions | ||
| Energy consumption (GWh) | 54.4 | 51.2 |
| Thousand tons CO2 | 23.2 | 21.7 |
EN7 - Initiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption and reductions achieved.
Our activity is based on clean energy generation, and we produce about 350,500 times the electricity we consume. However, we are conscious about promoting a culture of rational use of resources and we promote many internal campaigns to promote sustainable behaviours as is explained in the following pages.
For additional information about our initiatives to promote sustainable behaviours, please refer to the EN18 Indicator.
EN8 - Total water withdrawal by source.
Generation from wind energy does not consume water in its operational processes. The water is consumed only for human use. The consumption of water per GWh generated accounts for 0.46 litres/GWh. Even so, the company actively seeks to adopt more eco-efficient practices. An example of this is that in 2013 seven substations installed rain water collection and treatment systems to cover their own water supply needs.

EN12 - Description of significant impacts of activities, products, and services on biodiversity in protected areas and areas of high biodiversity value outside protected areas.
Potential environmental impacts are analysed in detail in the environmental impact studies of the projects. Additionally feasible alternatives are assessed and preventive, corrective and compensation measures are determined.
The company has defined general procedures in its Environmental Management System to prevent, correct or compensate impacts in the environment. In addition, efforts are intensified with specific monitoring procedures in the small number of sites located inside or close to protected areas.
For additional information, visit our environmental information on the sustainability section our website, www.edpr.com.
EU13 - Biodiversity of offset habitats compared to the biodiversity of the affected areas.
In the small number of sites located inside or close to protected areas, we intensify our efforts with specific monitoring procedures, as defined in our Environmental Management System.
For additional information, visit our environmental information on the sustainability section our website, www.edpr.com.
EN13 - Habitats protected or restored.
After the construction period, it is our duty to return the site to its initial state. Therefore, we perform morphological restoration and reseeding works. In 2013, 57 ha of affected land were restored.
EDPR has been collaborating for the past years with the Natural Heritage Foundation of Castilla y León (Spain). As part of the activities financed we highlight the environmental restoration of an area heavily impacted by a public motorway in the Burgos province of Spain. The restoration project created a wetland system that provides shelter and food for migratory birds crossing the Iberian Peninsula. Long fly routes without intermediate rest areas is one of the main causes of stress for migratory birds crossing the central dry regions of Spain.
The restored area also provides a habitat for numerous amphibians and reptile species and has benefited surrounding populations by recovering the landscape, designing flood control systems, implementing noise insulation from the motorway, among other benefits.
68 The collaboration of EDPR with the Natural Heritage Foundation of Castilla y León has also included other projects, such as:
- -The restoration of various natural ponds in Carcedo de Burgos.
- -Construction of a visitor's centre in Aliseda de Tormes.
-
- Adaptation of the pathways at the "Lagunas glaciares de Neila" natural park and signposts showing regulations for public use.
- -Monitoring of the Dupont's Lark in the area of Medinaceli.
-
- Monitoring, preservation and improvement of the habitats of the Black Stork, the Cinereous Vulture, the Spanish Imperial Eagle and other birds of prey in the province of Ávila.
EN14 - Strategies, current actions, and future plans for managing impacts on biodiversity.
The increase in global temperature and other symptoms of climate change such as extreme weather events will greatly reduce the biodiversity in most parts of the world. Acting now to mitigate climate change can avoid the projected climatic range loss for biodiversity. EDPR is committed to promote biodiversity conservation and has an active role in reducing loss in biodiversity.
The management of the impact on biodiversity is part of our own environmental policy. We take precautionary measures to avoid locating wind farms in areas where they could pose risks to biodiversity. Through preventive, corrective and compensatory measures we seek an overall positive balance of our projects and activities.
In 2013, we focused our efforts to standardize our environmental impact assessment studies, by adopting best practices, reinforced mitigation and compensation measures and adopted more efficient post-construction monitoring practices.
EN16 - Total direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions by weight.
Our indirect emissions represent 0.2% of the total amount of emissions avoided and approximately 74% of the emissions are from the necessary electricity consumption by the wind farms.
In addition, part of the equipment used for electricity generation purposes contains SF6 gasses and during 2013 we registered emissions of 9.14 kg of this gas.

Notes: Gas consumption emissions were estimated according to the GHG protocol. Electricity consumption emissions were calculated with the global emission factors of each country and state within the US.
EN17 - Other relevant indirect greenhouse gas emissions by weight.
Our work requires our employees to travel and commute. Based on our estimates, the transportation used by our employees accounted for a total of 6,925 tons of CO2 emissions.
Notes 1: Transport emissions were calculated according to the DEFRA standard.
Notes 2: Employee commuting emissions were calculated from data collected in a survey to all employees.
EN18 - Initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reductions achieved.
Our core business activity inherently implies the reduction GHG emissions. Wind and solar energy has zero carbon emissions, contributing to the world's fight against climate change and does not produce harmful SOx, NOx, or mercury emissions, protecting valuable air and water resources. We estimated that our activities avoided the emission of 16,296 thousand tons of CO2.
Even though our activity is based on the clean energy generation, we are conscious about promoting a culture of rational use of resources. During 2013, we continued promoting initiatives that foster environmental best practices in our offices.
Note: To calculate the emissions avoidance, the energy generation has been multiplied by the CO2 eq emission factors of each country and state within the US. We considered the emission factor of just fossil fuel energy, as we considered that by increasing the generation of renewable energy, we are displacing these technologies, while other renewable technologies and nuclear plants will continue with its quota of generation.
EN22 - Total weight of waste by type and disposal method.
More than 95% of the hazardous waste produced by wind farms is related to oil and oil-related wastes such as oil filters or oil containers, used mainly for lubrication of the turbines. The consumption of this oil is based on certain pre-defined replacement time frequencies (between 2 and 5 years, based on the component, oil type and manufacturer). The company has been actively working to improve the recycling rate of its hazardous wastes, through authorized waste haulers, reaching a 95% recycling rate in 2013 from a 75% in 2011.
The following table summarizes the amount of hazardous waste generated per GWh in our facilities and the rate of recycling.
For additional information about our emissions avoidance, please refer to the Generation Section.
| 2013 | 2012 | (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waste generated in wind farms 1 | |||
| Total waste (kg/GWh) | 45.7 | 47.9 | -4.2% |
| Total hazardous waste (kg/GWh) | 28.9 | 30.2 | -4.6% |
| % of hazardous waste recycled | 95.4% | 94.5% | 0.9% |
| 1 Brazil not included |
Annual fluctuations in hazardous waste generated are heavily dependent on the pluri-annual oil replacement programs above mentioned. Non-hazardous wastes generated by the company include metals, plastics, paper or domestic garbage which is recycled in their vast majority.
In 2013, we updated the non-hazardous waste reported criteria as previous values reported considered as nonhazardous waste the effluents resulting from human activity, either domestic wastewater or septic tank sludge. For the purposes of this report, we reviewed this criterion to stop considered the effluents collected in enclosed tanks as septic tank sludge considered. These effluents resulting of the human activity are sent to municipal treatment, either through direct connection to the sewage system or through enclosed tanks, and thus reported as wastewater. In any case, waste and effluents are monitored and managed.
Note 1: In Europe and Brazil, the method of disposal has been indicated by the waste hauler, while in the US the disposal method has been determined by the organizational defaults of the waste hauler.
Note 2: For the purposes of this report, all wastes have been classified as Hazardous or Non-hazardous according to European Waste Catalogue; however, in each country where EDPR has a geographic presence, each wind farm is required to adhere to national law by following company procedures for handling, labelling, and storage of wastes to ensure compliance. In cases, like in the United States, when our operations generate small quantities of substances which fall into additionally-regulated categories– such as used oils and universal wastes–we follow strict standards for handling and disposal of these waste types to ensure we remain compliant with all applicable laws.
EN23 - Total number and volume of significant spills.
Given our activity and our locations, oil spills and fires are the major environmental risks the company faces. The Environmental Management System is designed and implemented to prevent emergency situations from happening. But in case they happen, the system covers the identification and management of these, including the near-miss situations.
In 2013, we had 8 significant spills (above 0.16 m3 that reached the ground) with a total volume of 0.94 m3 of oil spilled, and 1 incipient fire with an area of 2 m2 of dry scrub burned. All cases were properly managed: oil spills were confined early and contaminated soil was collected and managed; the incipient fire occurred in an agricultural area with some dry bushes without significant natural value, being promptly suffocated by the staff on site using the fire extinguishers.
EDPR performs regular environmental drills to guarantee that our employees are familiar with the risks and have received the appropriate training to prevent and act, if necessary. In 2013, we implemented self-protection plans to prevent and act in case of forest fires.
EN28 - Monetary value of significant fines and total number of non-monetary sanctions for noncompliance with environmental laws and regulations.
During 2013, the company was fined 1,020 euros for an incidence of non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
EN29 - Significant environmental impacts of transporting products and other goods and materials used for the organization's operations, and transporting members of the workforce.
The main environmental impact was from employees traveling and commuting for business activities.
For additional information about our emissions registered due to employees' transportation, please refer to the EN17 Indicator.
EN30 - Total environmental protection expenditures and investments by type.
In 2013, 2.17 million euros were invested and 2.81 million euros were expended in environmental related activities

From EDPR's 890 employees, 26% were covered by collective bargaining agreements.
Collective bargaining agreements apply to all employees working under an employment relationship with and for the account of the some companies of EDPR group, regardless of the type of contract, the professional group into which they are classified, their occupation or job. However, matters relating to the corporate organization itself, the laws of each country or even usage and custom in each country result in certain groups being expressly excluded from the scope of collective bargaining agreements.
LA5 - Minimum notice period(s) regarding significant operational changes, including whether it is specified in collective agreements.
Per country case law, EDPR may have a minimum period which it must comply with for giving formal notice of organizational changes at the companies in the Group with an impact on employees. However, it is customary to communicate significant events to the affected groups in advance.
As an employer in the United States, EDPR complies with the Worker Adjustment and Retraining Notification (WARN) Act Guide to Advance Notice of Closings and Layoffs. Employees who have worked more than six months and 20 hours a week are required to receive 60 days' notice in the event of closings and layoffs.
LA6 - Percentage of total workforce represented in formal joint management-worker health and safety committees that help monitor and advise on occupational health and safety programs.
A significant part of our organization plays a fundamental role in the implementation of our health and safety policy. The company created health and safety committees that collect information from different operational levels and involve employees in the definition and communication of a preventive plan.
During 2013, 3% of our employees attended health and safety committee meetings, representing 46% of our workforce. In addition, a new committee was created in Brazil to complement those already active in Spain, France, UK and in the US.

SOCIETY
Wind and solar energies create a positive impact on the local economies in terms of turnover, Gross Value Added (GVA), employment created and also in terms of energy security.
Land leases and taxes are a large contribution to the yearly budget for the municipalities where it is present. In 2013, EDPR contributed with 65.6 million Euros in taxes and payments to the administrations and we devoted 1.4 million Euros in social projects to support education and community related activities.
SUPPORTING EDUCATION
EDPR has developed its own original and comprehensive education support strategy, with different programs related to the renewable energy that have been implemented in areas where we are developing or we have operational projects.
During 2013, EDPR has continued with the third edition of its Green Education program, providing education grants to 90 students from Spain, Romania, Poland and Portugal based on their academic merits and financial situation. This program creates strong ties with the communities. In June 2013, Tarifa city council awarded EDPR a recognition and gratitude in this regards.
EDPR also promoted the education of students on the fundamentals of renewable energy. The Kid Wind initiative in the US, committed more than 60 thousand US dollars in scholarships to schools brings the science behind renewable energy into their classroom curricula.
Our education strategy is completed with our EDP University Challenge contest, where EDPR wants to promote excellence among university students and establish a collaboration framework between the company and the academic world. In this eighth edition 84 teams, with 245 students and 60 professors, coming from 41 different universities participated. The company devoted 68 thousand euros to this program, which can be followed through its own web site www.edpr-universitychallenge.es.
PARTICIPATING IN THE COMMUNITY
Becoming part of a community implies to host our stakeholders in our facilities, organizing visits and events, and participate and support our neighbouring communities' special occasions. During 2013, EDPR hosted visits from schools, such as the visit form MN's elementary school visited the Pioneer Prairie & Prairie Star Wind Farms, were different activities were prepared by EDPR volunteers, so we transmitted how the wind farm was managed and operated. This educational visit represented the first in a series of forthcoming educationally based partnerships with local schools in the US.
In addition, EDPR hosted a "Global Wind Day" as part of a worldwide initiative, in order to promote awareness for wind energy. Wind farms Pioneer Prairie and Prairie Star in North America and Rabosera in Europe held educational and recreational activities attended by students, general public, legislators and journalists.
EDPR also participated in a wide range of sponsorship and volunteering activities with the communities. As such, in 2013 we sponsored local fairs (Expofacic fair in Portugal), cultural events (Wiatrakalia music festival in Poland), sporting events (French National Track Cycling championships), and charitable events (Save the Children dinner in Romania). Some of these contributions also include social volunteering from our employees, like it was the volunteering at local food banks in Houston and Madrid.
BROADENING KNOWLEDGE
In between our two social strategies, the support to education and our involvement in the community, we have a range of activities aiming to share our knowledge. This refers to our participation and/or sponsorship of several conferences and workshops. We have contributed by sharing our knowledge in order to improve biodiversity protection, the adoption of socially responsible practices and the promotion of renewable energy.
FUNDACIÓN EDP
EDPR has joined Fundación EDP together with EDP and its subsidiary companies in Spain. Fundación EDP was created in November 2013 as an evolution of the former Fundación HC.
The Mission of Fundación EDP is to reinforce the commitment of EDP Group as regards to education, culture, social and environment in its geographical areas of activity.
Fundación EDP has planned for 2014 to directly develop activities in Spain for 2.7 million Euros, being EDPR an important contributor to these activities.
SO1 - Nature, scope, and effectiveness of any programs and practices that assess and manage the impacts of operations on communities, including entering, operating, and exiting.
Wind farm energy is a long lasting economic development driver for the municipalities where it is present. EDPR has different programs in place to assess and manage the impact on communities, and to maximize the shared value of our projects.
For example, grievance mechanisms during operation are also available to ensure that suggestions or complaints are properly recorded and addressed. This allows us not only to solve the complaints but to introduce improvements in our processes. A good example is the way we handle the complaints related to possible interferences with TV signal in France. We have set a procedure involving the town halls to facilitate and speed up the collection of these complaints as soon as they arise, a proper analysis and communication with the plaintiff and a fast satisfactory resolution.

II. MANAGEMENT AND SUPERVISION
COMPOSITION a)
- Corporate Governance Model
EDPR has adopted the governance structure in effect in Spain. It comprises a General Shareholders' Meeting and a Board of Directors that represents and manages the Company.
As required by law and the Articles of Association, the Company's Board of Directors has set up four committees. These are the Executive Committee, the Audit and Control Committee, the Nominations and Remunerations Committee and the Related-Party Transactions Committee.
The governance model of EDPR is designed to ensure the transparent, meticulous separation of duties and the specialization of supervision. The most important bodies in the management and supervision model at EDPR are the following:
- General Shareholders' Meeting;
- Board of Directors; .
- . Executive Committee;
- Audit and Control Committee; .
- External auditor.
The purpose of the choice of this model by EDPR is to adapt, to the extent possible, the Company's corporate governance structure to the Portuguese legislation. The governance model adopted by EDPR therefore seeks, insofar as it is compatible with its personal law, to correspond to the so-called "Anglo-Saxon" model set forth in the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, in which the management body is a Board of Directors, and the supervision and control duties are of the responsibility of an Audit and Control Committee.
The choice of this model is essentially an attempt to establish between two different systems of Company law, which can be considered applicable to this model.
The experience of institutional operating indicates that the governance model adopted by the shareholders is appropriate to the corporate organization of EDPR activity, especially because it affords transparency and a healthy balance between the management functions of the Executive Committee, the supervisory functions of the Audit and Control Committee and oversight by different Board of Directors special committees.
The institutional and functional relationship between the Executive Committee, the Audit and Control Committee and the other non-executive members of the Board of Directors has been of internal harmony conductive to the development of the Company's business.
In order to ensure a better understanding of EDPR corporate governance by its shareholders, the Company posts its updated Articles of Association as well as its Committees Regulations at www.edprenovaveis.com
EDPR is a Spanish Company listed in a regulated stock exchange in Portugal. EDP Renováveis' corporate organization is subject to its personal law and to the extent applicable, to the recommendations contained in the Portuguese Corporate Governance Code, ("Código de Governo das Sociedades") approved by the Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários (CMM) (Portuguese Securities Market Commission) in July 2013. This governance code is available to the public at CMVM website (www.cmvm.pt).
The organization and functioning of EDPR corporate governance model is designed to achieve the highest standards of corporate governance, business conduct and ethics referenced on the best national and international practices in corporate governance.

C) POWERS AND DUTIES
- Procedures for hiring additional services to the External Auditor
In EDPR there is a policy of pre-approval by the Audit and Control Committee for the External Auditor and any related entity for non-audit services, according to Recommendation IV.2 of the Portuguese Corporate Governance Code. This policy was strictly followed during 2013.
The services, other than auditing services, provided to the Company by the External Auditor and entities in a holding relationship with or incorporated in the same network as the External Auditor were previously approved by the Audit and Control Committee according to Article 8, nº 2, b) of its Regulations and upon review of each specific service, which considered the following aspects: (i) such services having no effect on the independence
of the External Auditor and any safequards used; and (ii) the position of the External Auditor in the provision of such services, notably the External Auditor's experience and knowledge of the Company.
Furthermore, although hiring services other than auditing services to the External Auditor is admissible, it is envisaged as an exception. In 2013 such services reached only around 5% of the total amount of services provided to the Company.
38. Other duties of the Audit and Control Committee
Apart from the competences expressly delegated on the Audit and Control Committee according to Article 8 of its Regulations and in order to safeguard the independence of the External Auditor, the following powers of the Audit Committee were exercised during the 2013 financial year and should be highlighted:
- · Nominate and hire the External Auditors and responsibility their remuneration as well as pre-approval of any services to be hired from the External Auditors;
- · Direct and exclusive supervision by the Audit Committee;
- Assessment of the qualifications, independence, and performance of the External Auditors, and obtaining, yearly and directly from the External Auditors, written information on all relations existing between the Company and the Auditors or associated persons, including all services rendered and all services in progress; in fact, the Audit Committee, in order to evaluate independence, obtained from the External Auditors information on their independence in light of article 62B of Decree-Law no. 224/2008 of 20 November 2008, which amends the articles of association of the Chartered Accountant Professional Association:
- · Review of the transparency report, signed by the Auditor and disclosed at its website. This report covers the matters provided for under article 62A of Decree-Law no. 224/2008, including those regarding the quality control internal system of the audit firm and the quality control procedures carried out by the competent authorities ;
- · Definition of the Company's hiring policy concerning persons who have worked or currently work with the External Auditors:
- · Review, with the External Auditors, of the scope, planning, and resources to be used in their services;
- · Responsibility for the settlement of any differences between the Executive Committee and the External Auditors concerning financial information.
- · Contracts signed between EDPR and its Qualified Shareholders that were analyzed by the Audit and Control Committee. This information is included on the annual report of the Audit and Control Committee regarding those cases that needed a previous opinion from the committee.
- The Audit and Control Committee participated on the Tender to select the External Auditor for EDP's Group for a three year term (2014-2016). The Chairperson of the Audit and Control Committee was part of the Evaluation Commission that selected the final proposal. The Audit and Control Committee will present on the next Board of Directors meeting the proposal for the appointment of the External Auditor to be submitted to approval at the next General Shareholders' Meeting according to Article 289, nº 6, b) of the Company's Articles of Association.
Within this context, it should be particularly stressed that External Auditor independence was safeguarded by the implementation of the Company's policy on pre-approval of the services to be hired to External Auditors (or any entity in a holding relationship with or incorporating the External Auditors), which results from the application of the rules issued by SEC on this matter. According to such policy, the Audit Committee makes an overall pre-approval of the services proposal made by the External Auditors and a specific pre-approval of other services that will eventually be provided by the External Auditors, particularly services and services other than "audit and audit related" services.

II. REPORTING OF IRREGULARITIES
- IRREGULARITIES COMMUNICATION CHANNELS
Whistleblowinq
EDPR has always carried out its activity by consistently implementing measures to ensure the good governance of its companies, including the prevention of incorrect practices, particularly in the areas of accounting and finance.
EDPR provides the Group workers with a channel enabling them to report directly and confidentially to the Audit 18 and Control Committee any practice presumed illicit or any alleged accounting and/or financial irregularity in their Company, in compliance with the provisions of CMVM Regulation no. 4/2013.
With this channel for reporting irregular accounting and financial practices, EDPR aims:

The Secretary of the Audit and Control Committee receives all the communications and presents a quarterly report to the members of the Committee.
In 2013 there were no communications regarding any irregularity with material impact at EDPR.
Ethics Channel and Code of Ethics
EDPR has a Code of Ethics published on its intranet, which includes principles like transparency, honesty, integrity, non-discrimination, equal opportunity, and sustainability.
The Code of Ethics has been widely circulated among employees of the Group through internal communications mechanisms, individual shipments, delivery to new employees, and intranet publishing.
There is a strong commitment by the Company in relation to the dissemination and promotion of compliance with the Code available to all employees through training, questionnaires, and open discussions of the findings
There is also an Ethics Channel and Ethics Regulation to articulate any specific claims of the Code of Ethics and to resolve doubts on all matters relating to the Code of Ethics.
Communications regarding possible breaches of the Code of Ethics are sent to the Ethics Ombudsman, which performs a first analysis, forwarding its conclusion to the Ethics Committee of EDPR, which receives, records, processes, and reports to the Board of Directors.
In 2013 there were no communications to the Ethics Ombudsmen regarding any irregularity at EDPR.
III. INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT
- Internal Audit
EDPR has Internal Audit Department composed by five people. The function of EDPR's Internal Audit is to carry out an objective and independent assessment of the Group's activities and of its internal control situation, in order to make recommendations to improve the internal control mechanisms over systems and management processes in accordance with the Group's objectives.
Additionally, EDPR has a Responsibilities Model and a SCIRF Manual (Internal Control System over Financial Reporting), in which individuals, governing bodies and commissions responsible for implementing and managing the internal control system are indicated.
The Responsibilities Model includes the functions and main activities in the management and maintenance of the system at all levels of the organization including monitoring activities related to the annual cycle, the implementation of controls and documentation of evidence and supervision activities.
The SCIRF Manual incorporates the qeneral principles of the Internal Control System over Financial Reporting are established, as well as the methodology used, the procedures for ensuring the effectiveness of internal control and design of models, documentation, evaluation and reporting.
In line with the general principles of the model adopted by EDPR for the management of the SCIRF, the COSO framework (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission), the responsibility for overseeing the Internal Control System lies in the Board of Directors and the Audit and Control Committee. The CEO is accountable before the Board, must ensure the proper functioning and effectiveness of the SCIRF, promoting its design, implementation and maintenance. The Executive Committee must support the CEO in this task, guiding the development of the Entity Level Controls of the Company and the controls in their areas of responsibility, relying when necessary on other levels of the organization. Also, the Senior Managers are responsible for evaluating any deficiencies and implementing appropriate improvement opportunities.
To fulfill these responsibilities, EDPR's Internal Audit offers support and advice to the management and development of the SCIRF.
Additionally, in 2013 the EDPR Group decided to have its SCIRF audited by the external auditor. As a result of its evaluation, the external auditor issued a report with a favorable opinion on SCIRF of the EDPR Group, according to ISAE 3000 (International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000).
- Organizational structure of Internal Audit

- Risk Management
EDPR's Risk Management is as an integrating element of all organizational processes and decisions and not a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities of the Company. It includes from strategic planning to evaluation of new investments and contracts.
Risk Management at EDPR is supported by three distinct organizational functions, each one with a different role: Strategy (Risk Profiler), Management (Risk Manager) and Controlling (Risk Controller).
Market, credit and operational 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.
During 2013, EDPR defined or reviewed four new Global Risk Policies: Energy Price Hedging Policy, Counterparty Credit Risk Policy, Country Risk Policy. These policies are already implemented or in the process to be implemented next year.
53. Risk Areas and Risk Factors
Risk Management at EDPR is focused on covering all market, credit and operational risks of the Company. In order to have a holistic view of risks, they were grouped in Risk Areas converting all the value chain of EDPR's business. The following list summarizes Risk Areas defined within EDPR:
- Countries & regulations Changes in regulations may impact EDPR's business in a given country
- Revenues Revenues received by EDPR's projects may diverge from what is expected .
- · Financing EDPR may not be able to raise enough cash to finance its planned Capex or to fulfill its financial obligations due to changes in exchange rates or bankruptcy of counterparties;
- Wind turbine contracts Changes in turbine prices may impact profitability; Contracts should . take into account the pipeline development risk
- Pipeline development EDPR may deliver an installed capacity different from its targets or suffer delays and/or anticipations in its installation
- Operations Projects may deliver a volume different from expected
Within each Risk Area, risks are classified in Risk Groups and finally into Risk Factors are the source of the risk and the purpose of Risk Management at EDPR is to measure, control and eventually mitigate all risk factors that affect the Company.
From Risk Areas to Risk Factors

1. Countries and regulations
I.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. During 2013, EDPR has defined a new 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 parties. 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 for the business of foreign firms 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.
Management of Country Risk
Before approving a new project in a new geography, EDPR analyzes 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.
I.II. Regulatory Risk
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.
Although the European Union and various US federal and state bodies have regularly reaffirmed their desire to continue strengthening support for renewable energy sources, remuneration schemes have become less competitive in some countries due to the financial crisis. Thus, it cannot be guaranteed that current support will be maintained in all EDPR's geographies or that the electricity produced by future renewable energy projects will benefit from purchase obligations, tax incentives or other support measures. Requlation promoting green energy has been revised or is under revision in some countries where EDPR is present.
In particular, during 2013 there were requlatory changes in Spain that reduced incentives for existing and future projects. In Romania, the number of green certificates for new wind projects was reduced.
In the US, renewable generation was incentivized through Production Tax Credits (PTC) at a Federal level till december 2013 and is still incentivized through State RPS Programs that allow receiving RECs (Renewable Energy Credit) for each MWh of renewable generation. As a general rule, EDPR focuses on developing in states which have an RPS program in place and are undersupplied of renewable generation. As aforementioned, in December 2013, PTC scheme for wind expired and all projects that will be built in the future will not receive PTC, except for those that qualified during 2013. EDPR was able to secure around 1GW of PPA projects with PTC qualification that will be mainly built during 2014 and 2015.
Management of Regulatory Risk
EDPR is managing its exposure to regulatory risks through diversification (being present in several countries) and by being an active member in several wind associations. 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.
Additionally, a high level analysis is performed for each country considering the meaningfulness of renewable generation from a strategic and financial standpoint. Among others, EDPR analyzes the following for each country: existing and future generation mix, electricity prices, remuneration incentives for renewables, renewable generation target and energy autonomy.
Finally, Regulatory Risk is also considered ex-ante at the investment, through sensitivity analyses that are performed to evaluate its impact in project profitability.
2. Revenues
I.III. Electricity 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 offtakers to eliminate electricity price risk.
Despite EDPR's strategy of eliminating electricity price risk, EDPR still has some wind farms that have merchant exposure.
In Europe, EDPR operates in countries where the selling price is definetariff (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 investment activity in the UK, where current incentive system is based on green certificates but will change to a feed in tariff.
In countries with a pre-defined regulated premium or a green certificate scheme, EDPR is exposed to electricity price fluctuations. Considering current PPAs in place, EDPR is exposed to electricity price risk in Romania, in Poland and partially in Spain.
The US market does not provide a regulated framework system for the electricity price. However, most of EDPR's capacity in the US has predefined prices determined by long-term contracts with local utilities in line with the Company's policy of avoiding electricity price risk. Despite existing long term contracts, some EDPR's wind farms in the US do not have PPA and are selling merchant with exposure to electricity price risk. Some others with existing PPAs do not sell their energy where it is produced are exposed to basis risk.
In Ontario (Canada), the selling price is defined by a long term feed-in-tariff, thus, there is no electricity price exposure.
In Brazilian operations, the selling price is defined through a public auction which is later translated into a longterm contract. Electricity price exposure is almost null, with some exposure for the production above or below the contracted production.
Management of risks related to exposure to market electricity prices
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 and total merchant exposure).
EDPR seeks to eliminate electricity price risk through PPAs with private offtakers. In 2013, EDPR signed PPAs in Europe for 120 MW and in the US for more than 1 GW.
In those geographies with remaining merchant exposure, EDPR uses various financial and commodity hedging instruments in order to minimize the exposure to fluctuating electricity prices. In some cases, due to the lack of liquidity of financial derivatives, it may not be possible to successfully hedge all merchant exposure.
In 2013, EDPR financially hedged part of its generation in Poland and Romania. In Spain, hedges in place at the beginning of 2013 were unwound when new regulation eliminated the merchant exposure that included the previous legal framework (RD661).
As mentioned above, some US wind farms have exposure to electricity price risk (difference in electricity price between locations). EDPR hedges electricity price and basis exposures through financial swaps or FTR buys (Financial Transmission Rights).
I.IV. Green Certificate or REC price risk
In Europe, EDPR operates in countries where, on top of the electricity price, EDPR receives a green certificate whose price is achieved on a regulated market (Poland and Romania).
In these European countries with a green certificate scheme, EDPR is exposed to fluctuation on the price of green certificates.
In the US, renewable generation is incentivized through State RPS Programs that allow receiving RECs (Renewable Energy Credit) for each MWh of renewable generation. REC prices are very volatile and depend on the supply/demand equilibrium in the market.
Management of risks related to exposure to Green Certificates or REC prices
EDPR intends to eliminate Green Certificates and REC price risk with the signing of bundled PPAs, which include the sale of the electricity and the Green Certificate or REC. In some cases, the offtaker may be interested in contracting only the Green Certificate or the REC, thus a GCPA (Green Certificate Purchase Agreement) or a RECPA (REC Purchase Agrement) is signed.
The market of GCPA or RECPA is very illiquid and no financial derivatives exist for Green Certificates nor RECs. Therefore, all exposure to Green Certificates or REC prices cannot be eliminated,
I.V. Energy Production Risk
The amount of electricity generated by EDPR's wind farms is dependent on weather conditions, which vary across locations, from season to season and from year. Variation on the amount of electricity that is generated affects EDPR's operating results and efficiency.
Wind at different locations may be independent from each other or may be correlated (positively or negatively). 22 A negative correlation implies a natural hedge of production fluctuations of the portfolio.
Other risk factors that affect production are turbine availability and curtailment, which are considered as operation risks and are explained in the corresponding section.
Management of risks related to volatility of energy production
EDPR mitigates wind resource volatility and seasonality by having a strong knowledge in the design of its wind farms and through geographical diversification of its asset base in different countries and regions. EDPR has analyzed correlation between different wind farms in its portfolio and this geographical diversification enables EDPR to partially offset wind variations in each area and to keep the total energy generation relatively steady. Currently, EDPR is present in 12 countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK (no generation), Italy, US, Canada, Brazil and South Africa.
EDPR has analyzed in detail the potential use of financial products to hedge wind risk, and this product might be used to mitigate risk in specific cases.
3. Financing
I.VI. Risks related to financial market exposure
EDPR finances its wind farms through project finance or corporate debt. In both cases, a variable interest rate would imply fluctuations in interest payments.
On the other hand, EDPR's presence in several countries implies revenues denominated in different currencies. Consequently, exchange rate fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on financial results.
Management of financial risks
The evolution of the financial markets is analyzed on an on-going basis in accordance to EDP Group's risk management policy approved by the EDPR`s Executive Committee.
Taking into account risk management policy and approved exposure limits, the Finance team identifies, evaluates, and submits the financial strategy appropriate to each project/location for the Executive Committee's approval. Global Risk Area supports the Finance team in exchange rate hedging decisions.
I.VI.2. 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.
Management of interest rate risk
The purpose of the 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 rate to fixed rate.
EDPR has a portfolio of interest-rate derivatives with maturities of up to 13 years. Sensitivity analyses of the fair value of financial instruments to interest-rate fluctuations are periodically performed.
I.VI.3 Exchange rate risk
EDPR has international operations and is exposed to the exchange-rate risk resulting from investments in foreign subsidiaries. Currently, the main currency exposure is to U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate that results from EDPR's operations in the US. With the increasing capacity in non-euro geographies, EDPR is increasing its exposure to currencies other than the euro in Poland, Romania, Brazil, United Kingdom and Canada.
Management of exchange rate risk
EDPR's general foreign exchange policy is the natural hedging in order to match currency cash flows, minimizing the impact of fluctuations of exchange rates in the Income Statement and preserving value. The essence of this approach is to create financial foreign currency outflows to match equivalent foreign currency inflows.
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 interest rate swaps. EDPR also contracts foreign exchange forwards to hedge the risk in specific transactions (procurement, etc.)
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.
I.VI.4. Counterparty Credit 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. If the transactions with the counterparty has a positive economic value at the time of default, an economic loss would occur.
During 2013, EDPR introduced a new Global Counterparty Credit Risk Policy, which has already been implemented across the Company. Basel Standards were used as a reference for EDPR'S approach to counterparty credit risk.
From a credit risk perspective, EDPR classifies its counterparties in three different groups:
- Energy off-takers: Counterparties of EDPR in PPAs (energy and green certificates purchase agreements) and energy hedges
- · Suppliers: Developers, partners, WTG suppliers and O&M suppliers
- · Financial institutions: Counterparties of EDPR in foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and bank deposits
Management of counterparty credit risk
To control credit risk at EDPR, thresholds of Expected Loss are established as defined in Basel Standards. Expected Loss and Unexpected Loss from counterparty credit exposure are re-evaluated monthly. If threshold is surpassed by any counterparty or by the Company as a whole, mitigation measures are implemented in order to remain within the pre-established limit.
I.VI.5. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of EDPR not meeting its financial obligations.
Management of liquidity risk
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 o EDPR's reputation.
EDPR uses a financial model to forecast liquidity risk in the medium and long term to meet strategic targets previously set (EBITDA, debt ratio and others).
4. Wind turbine contracts
The wind turbine generator (WTG) is a key element in the development of EDPR's wind-related energy projects, as the shortfall or an unexpected sharp increase in WTG prices can dramatically affect development of new projects and their profitability.
WTG represents on average 70 to 80% of an onshore wind farm capital expenditure
I.VI.7. Wind Turbine Supply Risk
The demand for new wind farms may offset the offer of turbines by WTG manufacturers. Currently, the local component requirement in some geographies (Ex: Brazil) creates this shortfall situation.
Management of wind turbine supply risk
EDPR faces limited risk to the availability and price increase of WTG´s due to the framework agreements with major global wind turbines suppliers. The Company uses a large mix of turbines suppliers in order to diversify the wind turbine supply risk.
For geographies with specific requirements of local component, EDPR does not engage in a project before securing the supply of wind turbines.
Wind Turbine Price Risk
Price of wind turbines is affected, not only by market fluctuations of the materials used in the turbines, but also bv the demand.
Management of wind turbine price risk
For every new project, EDPR secures the demand risk that might increase price of the turbines.
With regards to market risk of the materials used to manufacture wind turbines, an escalation formula is negotiated with wind turbine manufacturers. EDPR might hedge some of the market exposure of this escalation formula if exposure is above a pre-established limit and the market is liquid.
5. Pipeline development
I.VII.1. Permitting Risk
Wind farms are subject to strict requlations at different authority levels (international, national, state, regional and local) relating to the development, construction and operation of power plants. Among other things, these laws regulate landscape and environmental aspects, building licenses, land use and land securing and access to the grid issues.
While level of exigency might be different depending on the geographies, EDPR acknowledges a trend for legislations to align towards concentrating the most restrictive rules and development risks on the consenting (environmental and urban permissions) and interconnection of the wind farm to the national grid).
ਨ ਦੀ In this context, EDPR's experience gathered in different countries is useful to anticipate and deal with similar situations in other countries.
Management of permitting risk
During the development and design phase. EDPR focuses on the optimization of its projects. By mastering the variables, such as choice of locations, lay-out, etc, the objective is to make our projects more resilient to permitting risks.
Additionally, EDPR mitigates execution risk by generating optionality, with development activities in 11 different countries (Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil) and a portfolio of projects in several stages of maturity. EDPR has a large pipeline of projects that provide a "buffer" to overome potential delays in the development of prioritized projects, ensuring growth targets and being able to compensate permitting delays in some geographies.
6. Operations
I.VII.3. Wind Turbine Performance Risk
Wind farm output depends upon the operating availability of the turbines and the operating performance of the equipment, mainly the components of wind turbines and transformers.
Management of wind turbine performance risk
EDPR mitigates this risk by using a mix of turbine suppliers which minimizes technological risk, avoiding exposure to a unique manufacturer.
EDPR also engages wind turbine suppliers through medium-term full-scope maintenance agreements to ensure alignment in minimizing technology risk. Finally, EDPR has created an O&M program with adequate preventive and scheduled maintenance program.
Most recently, EDPR is externalizing non-core technical O&M activities of its wind farms, while primary and value added activities continue controlled by EDPR.
I.VII.4. Curtailment Risk
Curtailment occurs when the production of a wind farm is stopped by the TSO (Transmission System Operators) for external reasons to the Company. Examples of cases of curtailment are upgrades in transmission lines, high level of renewable generation production with low demand (very exceptional).
<-- PDF CHUNK SEPARATOR -->
Management of wind turbine performance risk
Curtailment risk is managed ex-ante. For every new investment, EDPR factors that expected curtailment will have on the output of the wind farm. Curtailment analysis is done considering the existing situation and potential upgrades of the transmission system in the location of the wind farm.
Curtailment of EDPR's wind farm is constantly monitored by asset managers.
I.VII.5. Counterparty Operational Risk
Counterparty operational risk is defined as the risk that the counterparty to a transaction could default before the final settlement of the contract implying no direct economic loss to EDPR, but a replacement cost. Despite no exposure to the counterparty at the of default, the replacement of the counterparty could imply a cost to EDPR due to potential delays, higher contract value with a new counterparty, etc.
Construction and O&M subcontractors are counterparties to which EDPR is exposed from an operational point of view.
Management of counterparty operational risk
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 notation and replacement cost of the counterparty.
54. Risk Functions and Framework
Risk Management at EDPR is supported by three distinct organizational functions, each one with a different role: Strategy (Risk Profiler), Management (Risk Manager) and Controlling (Risk Controller).

These three Risk Functions work together following EDPR's risk framework, through which major strategic questions of the Executive Committee are translated into specific guidelines or policies, to be used by managers in their day-to-day decisions. The Risk Committee is the different Risk Functions discuss the policies to be implemented and control the risk exposure of the Company.

RISK COMMITTEE
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.
In order to separate discussions on business decisions from new analyses and the definition of new policies, EDPR has created two distinct meetings of the Risk Committee with different periodicity:
- Restricted Risk Committee: Held every month, it covers the risk of new transactions such as new power purchase agreements, new investments, energy price and FX hedges along with pipeline status and the Ebitda at Risk. It helps to control the implementation of defined policies and the exposure to most important risk factors.
- · Risk Committee: Held every quarter, it is the forum where new analyses are discussed and newly defined policies are proposed in order to send to the Executive Committee for approval. Additionally, EDPR´s overall risk position is reviewed.
55. Risk Policies
With the purpose of not only controlling risks, but also managing them ex-ante, EDPR has created Global Risk policies that are enforceable at a Global Level. These policies are proposed and discussed in the Risk Committee and approved by the Executive Committee.
During 2013, EDPR defined or reviewed four Global Risk Policies, which are already implemented or in the process to be implemented throughout 2014.:
- Energy Price Hedging Policy
- Counterparty Credit Risk Policy .
- Country Risk Policy
- FX Risk Policy
Compliance with Global Risk policies is verified every month in the Restricted Risk Committee.

That is, the variable remuneration may range between 0% and 85% of the annual gross fixed remuneration, in the case of the annual variable, and between 0% and 85% of the annual gross fixed remuneration, in the case of the multi-annual variable.
The KPIs (Key Performance Indicators) used to determine the annual and multi-annual variable regarding to each year of the term are aligned with the strategic grounds of the Company: growth, risk control and efficiency. These are the same for all members of the Executive Committee, although with specific targets for the platforms in the case of COO's:
- The relative performance of the Total Shareholder Return of EDP Renováveis vs Benchmark, (TSR vs. Wind peers & PSI 20);
- EDP Renováveis growth (Incremental MW and profitable ready to build pipeline)
- The risk result of EDP Renováveis (ROIC Cash; EBITDA and net profit)
- Efficiency (technical availability, OPEX/MW, CAPEX/MW).
- Environmental and social perspectives (i- the performance of the Sustainability Index applied to EDPR (DJSI method), ii- Employee satisfaction survey, iii- Appreciation of the Remuneration Committee).
According to the Remuneration Policy approved by the General Shareholders' Meeting, the maximum variable remuneration (annual and multi-annual) is applicable if all the above mentioned KPI's were achieved and the performance evaluation is equal or above 110%.

Audit report on the system of internal control over financial reporting
To the Board of Directors EDP Renováveis, S.A.
Further to your request and to our engagement letter dated 20 June 2013, we have audited the system of internal control over financial reporting of EDP Renováveis, S.A. (the Company) and subsidiaries (the Group) at 31 December 2013, based on the criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in relation with global business and control procedures, and with the COBIT Framework for IT Governance and Control. The Board of Directors of the Company and senior Group management are responsible for adopting the measures required to reasonably guarantee the implementation, maintenance and supervision of an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, assess its efficiency and make improvements to the system, as set forth in the report drawn up by Group management on the internal control over financial reporting system enclosed. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control over financial reporting system based on our audit.
An organisation's system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance that its annual financial reporting complies with the applicable financial reporting framework. It includes policies and procedures that are aimed at: (i) verifying the existence and maintenance of records that present fairly and in reasonable detail the Group's transactions and assets; (ii) providing reasonable assurance that transactions are adequately recorded so as to allow the Group to draw up consolidated annual accounts in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework; and (iii) providing reasonable assurance regarding the timely prevention or detection of asset additions or disposals or unauthorised use of Group assets that might have a material effect on the consolidated annual accounts. Due to the limitations inherent in any form of internal control system, irrespective of the quality of the design and operation of the internal control system adopted for annual financial reporting, this system can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance as to the objectives sought.
We have performed our audit in accordance with ISAE 3000 (International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000). This standard requires that we plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Group system of internal control over financial reporting is effective in all material aspects. Our audit included our gaining an understanding of the Group's internal control over the financial reporting system, verifying and evaluating, on a selective test basis, the design and operating efficiency of the system, and performing other procedures that we considered necessary under the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Due to the limitations inherent in any form of internal control system, there is always the possibility that internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect the errors or irregularities that might arise, whether due to errors in judgement, human error, fraud or malpractice. Extrapolating the effectiveness assessment to future years entails a risk that controls may cease to be adequate due to changing conditions or erosion in the levels of compliance with policies and procedures.
In our opinion, the Group's system of internal control for financial reporting at 31 December 2013 is effective in all material aspects, according to the criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in relation with global business and control procedures and the COBIT Framework for IT Governance and Control.
On 26 February 2014, in accordance with prevailing accounting legislation in Spain, we issued our audit report on the consolidated annual accounts of the Group for 2013, expressing an unqualified opinion thereon.
This report has been issued in accordance with your request. We accept no liability to any third parties other than the intended recipients of this report.

Report from Management concerning responsibility for
the System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The board of directors and management are responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting (SCIRF).
The SCIRF of EDP Renováveis Group is a set of processes designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial information and the preparation of the consolidated annual accounts for external purposes, in accordance with the applicable financial information reporting framework.
Due to the limitations inherent to all internal control systems, it is possible that the system of internal control over financial reporting does not prevent or detect all errors that could occur and may only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the presentation and preparation of the consolidated annual accounts. Furthermore, extrapolating the effectiveness assessment to future years entails a risk that controls may cease to be adequate due to changing conditions or erosion in the level of compliance with policies and procedures.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the SCIRF at 31 December 2013 based on the criteria established in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
As a result of this assessment, and based on the aforementioned criteria, management concludes that at 31 December 2013 EDP Renováveis Group had an effective system of internal control over financial reporting.
The SCIRF of EDP Renováyeis Group at 31 December 2013 has been audited by the independent auditors KPMG Auditores, S.L., as indicated in their report included in the Annual Corporate Governance Report.

Regulatory framework for the activities in Spain
On December 2012, by means of Law15/2012 of 27 December, the Spanish Government approved 7% across-theboard tax on electricity generation, as well as new taxes on nuclear and large-scale hydropower, plus a new carbon levy. The tax will be applied from 2013 onwards.
On 4 February 2013, the Spanish Government published in the Official State Gazette the Royal Decree-Law 2/2013 that includes a set of regulatory modifications applicable to the Spanish electricity sector and affecting the wind energy assets.
The main regulatory modifications that Royal Decree-Law presents towards the Royal Decree-Law 661/2007 with impact in EDP Renováveis S.A. (EDPR) effective from 1 January 2013 onwards, are as follows:
- À Every energy production facilities operating under the special regime are to be remunerated according to current feed-in tariff schemes for the remaining useful life of the asset;
- À Energy production facilities operating under the special regime currently remunerated according to the market option were able to chose, until 15 February 2013 and for the remaining useful life of the asset, a remuneration based on the electricity wholesale market price with no renewable energy premium, and neither cap nor floor prices;
- À The index used to annually update all the regulated activities in the electricity sector is the annual inflation excluding energy products and food prices, and any impact of tax changes.
The Spanish government disclosed the Energy Market Reform, which aims to end with the Spanish tariff deficit. The government claims that the reform may eliminate 4.5 billions of Euros/year of the structural deficit by: (i) 2.7 billons of Euros reduction in regulated costs of utilities and renewable energy source companies, and (ii) 0.9 billions of Euros contribution from the Spanish Treasury which will pay throught the Budget 50% of the extra costs of generation in the non-mainland territories.
The complete regulatory package will consist of: (i) a Royal Decree-Law (RD-L 9/2013, published in the Diário Oficial da União on 13 July), (ii) eight Decrees and Orders and (iii) the submission in the Parliament of the Project of Law ("Anteproyecto de Ley").
Until now, RD-L 9/2013 is the only rule approved and published: it outlines the principles that will govern the renewable energy source energy sector but it does not disclose the details of the new remuneration. According to this RD-L, renewable energy source plants will be subject to a new legal and economic framework: previous RD 661 framework will disappear and renewable energy source plants will receive the market price plus a payment per installed MW, so that the return on investment will be equivalent to the Spanish Government 10-year bonds yield plus a spread of 300bp. This Royal Decree-Law also suppresses the renewables remuneration for reactive power (2€/MWh).
On 26 November 2013, the Government submitted to the CNMC ("Comisión Nacional de los Mercados y la Competencia"), a draft decree describing the new remuneration scheme for renewables facilities. This new draft decree did not include the required parameters to calculate the remuneration for the renewables' sector activities, defining that should be retrospectively applied since 14 July. These parameters were released on 3 February 2014 when the CNMC disclosed the draft Ministerial Order containing the needed parameters to calculate the remuneration for each one of the 1,600 different types of renewable installation defined by the government.
According to these parameters, wind farms built in 2004 or earlier are not eligible to receive any incentive while newest farms will receive a flat premium per installed MW untill the end of their regulatory life. The flat premium will be subject of tri-annual modifications due to updates in the forecast of the parameters affecting the profitability of the installations. Overall, the wind sector will receive 1,191 millions of Euros in 2014 which compares to the forecast of 2,000 millions of Euros that would have been received under the old regulation. These cut of approximately 800 millions of Euros in wind sector represents a 45% of the total savings for the whole renewable sector that were estimated in 1,750 millions of Euros in the budget published within the tariff and charges order draft.
Spanish government has cancelled the results of the CESUR ("Contratos de Energía para el Suministro de Último Recurso") auctions dated of 19 December 2013, that would have led to a 26 % increase in the electricity price to be charged to regulated residential customers in the first quarter of 2014. Instead, was an increase of 2,8 % in the electricity cost and a 0,9 % increase in the access tariff. The government has also announced a structural change in the procedure to fix the electricity prices that will be designed and published in the next months.
On 26 December 2013, the Spanish government published a new regulation that will govern the electricity sector (Law 24/ 2013) replacing the existing from 1997 (Law 54 /1997).
The government defines the new law´s objective is to guarantee the supply of electricity and adapt to the consumer need at the lowest possible cost. It refers to the need to finish with the sector´s structural deficit that that has been accumulated during the last decade as the motivation to undertake the reform.
Regarding the renewable sector, the development of new installations will be conditioned to market needs, and their retribution will be based on market price with complementary revenues in order to ensure a reasonable return rate. Details on the renewable remuneration will be disclosed in the next months upon approval of the Royal Decree-Law for renewables and cogeneration activities.
Regulatory framework for the activities in Portugal
The Portuguese legal provisions applicable to the generation of electrical power based on renewable resources are currently established by Decree-Law 189/88 dated 27 May, as amended by Decree-Law 168/99 dated 18 May, Decree-Law 312/2001 dated 10 December , and Decree-Law 339-C/2001 dated 29 December. Also relevant is Decree-Law 33- A/2005, dated 16 February ("DL 33-A/2005"), which establishes the current amounts used in the remuneration formula applicable to energy produced by means of renewable resources and the deadlines for the application of such remuneration formula.
The Portuguese Govermment published on 28 February 2013, the Decree Law 35/2013, that maintains the legal stability of the current contracts (Decree-Law 33-A/2005) and protects the value of the investments made by the wind energy producers in the Portuguese economy. The wind farm producers can voluntarily invest to obtain further remuneration stability, through a new tariff scheme to be applied upon the actual 15 years established by law. The total investment will be used to reduce the overall costs of the Portuguese electricity system. In order to maximise the number of wind developers that voluntarily adheres to the extension of the remuneration framework, the Government proposed four alternative tariff schemes to be elected by each of the wind developers, that include the following conditions: i) alternative cap and floor selling prices; ii) alternative durations to the new scheme beyond the initial 15 years of the current contracts; and consequently iii) alternative levels of investment (on a per MW basis) to adhere a new scheme. EDPR has chosen a 7 year extension of the tariff defined as the average market price of previous twelve months, with a floor of 74€/MWh and a cap of 98€/MWh values updated with inflation from 2021 onwards, in exchange for a payment of 5.800€/MW from 2013 to 2020. This decree also includes the possibility for wind farms under the new regime (i.e. ENEOP) to adhere to a similar sheme, still in negociation.
This Decree-Law modifies the remuneration regime applicable to the production of electricity by mini hydro plants (PCH). Establishes that the PCH that were framed by a remuneration regime prior to Decree-Law 33-A/2005, of 16 February, benefit from that remuneration regime for a period of 25 years from the date they were attributed the exploration license or until the expiration date of their water use license, whichever occurs first. After this 25- year period and as longer as the above mentioned license remains valid, electricity produced by these plants will be sold at market prices.
Regulatory framework for the activities in France
The electricity industry in France is governed primarily by Act 2000-108 (amended by Acts 2004-803 and 2006-1537) ("Act 2000'), passed on 10 February 2000, which governs the modernization and development of public energy services and is the general legislative framework for the operation of wind facilities in France.
Act 2000 provides that, operator of wind facilities may enter into long-term agreements for the purchase and sale of energy with Electricité de France (EDF). The tariffs are set by Order of July 10, 2006 which was repealed in August 2008 due to formal defect in its approval, and then republished without any amendment in December 2008. The tariffs are the following: i) during the first ten years of the EDF Agreement, EDF pays a fixed annual tariff, which is €82 per MWh for applications made during 2006 (tariff is amended annually based, in part, on a inflation-related index); ii) During years 11 to 15 of the EDF Agreement, the tariff is based on the annual average percentage of energy produced during the wind facility' s first ten years. These tariffs are also amended annually, based, in part, on a inflation-related index; iii) Beginning in the year 16, there is no specific support structure and the wind energy generators will sell their electricity at market price.
On March 2012, the legality of the 2008 feed-in tariff ministerial order for wind farm projects was questioned before the French Council of State (Conseil dÉtat) on the basis that the required notification to the European Commission on State Aid was missed. On 15 May, the French Council of State decided to raise the issue for a preliminary ruling before the EU Court of Justice (is expected 12 to 18 months to solve). In the event that the tariff is finally cancelled, the French government has urged the Council of State the postponement of this eventual ruling until 2013 onwards, thus, no retroactive effects are expected.
Regulatory framework for the activities in the United States of America
The United States federal government and various state governments have implemented policies designed to promote the growth of renewable energy, including wind power. The primary federal renewable energy incentive program is the Production Tax Credit (PTC), which was established by the U.S. Congress as part of 1992 EPACT. Additionally, many states have passed legislation, principally in the form of renewable portfolio standards ("RPS"), which require utilities to purchase a certain percentage of their energy supply from renewable sources, similar to the Renewable Energy Directive in the EU.
On 1 January 2013, the US Congress approved "the American Taxpayer Relief Act" that included an extension of the PTC for wind, including the possibility of a 30% Investment Tax Credit instead of the PTC. Congress set a new expiration date of 31 December 2013 and changed the qualification criteria (projects can now qualify as long as they are under construction by year-end 2013). The legislation also includes a depreciation bonus on new equipment placed in service which allows depreciation of a higher percentage of the cost of the project (less 50% of the ITC) in the year that it is placed in service. This bonus depreciation was 100% in 2011 and 50% for 2012.
Regulatory framework for the activities in Poland
The legislation applicable to renewable energy in Poland is primarily contained in an Energy Act passed on 10 April 1997, which has been amended by the Act of 24 July 2002 and the Energy Act of 2 April 2004, which came into effect in January 2005 (together, the ''Energy Act'').
Pursuant to the Energy Act, power generation from renewable sources is supported. The following are forms of such support introduced in Poland: (i) A system of obligatory purchase of certificates of origin by the generation companies and trading companies selling electricity to the end user interconnected to a grid in Poland. These power companies are obliged to: a) obtain a certificate or origin and submit it to the ERA President for cancellation, or b) pay a substitute fee calculated in accordance with the Energy Act. ii) If the power company does not purchase certificates or origin or does not pay a substitute fee, the ERA President will penalize such company by the financial penalty calculated in accordance with the Energy Act.
On 13 November 2013, the Polish Government disclosed a new renewable act draft introducing a tendering scheme for renewable capacity. Then, the Ministry of Economy published a second version of the law on renewables at 2 January 2014. The law is not expected to be applicable before 1 January 2016 as it will come into force on the first day of the month commencing after the lapse of 12 months following the issuance of a positive decision of the European Commission on the compliance of the state aid regulations. According to this draft, operating plants will be entitled to choose between remaining under the Green Certificate (GC) scheme and participating in tenders. This version has already been referred in the Permanent Committee of the Council of Ministers.
Regulatory framework for the activities in Belgium
The regulatory framework for electricity in Belgium is conditioned by the the division of powers between the federal and the three regional entities: Wallonia, Flanders and Brussels-Capital. The federal regulatory field of competence includes electricity transmission (of transmission levels above 70 kV), generation, tariffs, planning and nuclear energy. The relevant federal legislation is the Electricity Act of 29 April 1999 (as modified) (the ''Electricity Act''). The regional regulatory entities are responsible for distribution, renewable energy and cogeneration (with the exception of offshore power plants) and energy efficiency. The relevant regional legislation, respectively, is: (a) for Flanders, the Electricity Decree of 17 July 2000; (b) for Wallonia, the Regional Electricity Market Decree of 12 April 2001; and (c) for Brussels-Capital, the Order of 19 July 2001 on the Organization of the Electricity Market.
The Belgian regulatory system promotes the generation of electricity from renewable sources (and cogeneration) by a system of green certificates (each a ''GC''), as described below. The Belgian federal government is responsible for offshore power plants and for imposing obligations on the transmission system operators. The various GC systems are very similar across the three regions and are similar to the GC system for federally-regulated offshore power plants. There are currently differences in terms of quotas, fines and thresholds for granting GCs.
On 21 March 2012, Walloon government approved a decree which fixes the quotas of GC until 2020. The new quotas are: (i) 19.4% in 2013; (ii) 23.1% in 2014; (iii) 26.7% in 2015; (iv) 30.4% in 2016. For the period from 1 January 2017 until 31 December 2019, the yearly quotas will at the latest be fixed in 2014 on the basis of an evaluation carried out beforehand by the energy regulator of Wallonia (CWaPE).
A new tax for wind generators has been approved in Wallonia last July. According to this regulation, all generators earning green certificates shall pay 0,54€/MWh. The energy regulator of Wallonia (CWaPE) will be the beneficiary of this tax, aimed at supporting the costs originated by green certificates management.
Regulatory frameworks for the activities in Romania
The promotion of electricity generated from renewable energy sources in Romania was set with the Electricity Law 318/2003. In 2005 a Green Certificate mechanism was introduced with mandatory quotas for suppliers, in order to comply with their EU renewable requirements.The regulatory authority establishes a fixed quota of electricity produced from RES which suppliers are obliges to buy, and, annually reviews applications form green generators in order to be awarded green certificates. Law 220/2008 of November, introduced some changes in the green certificates system. In particular, it allows wind generators to receive 2GC/MWh until 2015 . From 2016 onwards generators receive 1 green certificate for each MWh . The price of electricity is determined in the electricity market and the price of green certificates is determined on a separate market.
The trading value of green certificates has a floor of 27€ and a cap of 55€, both indexed to Romanian inflation. Law 220/2008 also guarantees the access to the National Grid for the electricity produced from renewable sources.
Law 220/2008 on renewable energy was amended by the Emergency Order 88/2011. A key aspect of this amendment was the overcompensation analysis which must be carried out on a yearly basis. ANRE shall monitor the producers benefiting from the support system and prepare annual reports on this regard. If overcompensation is found, ANRE will propose a reduction of the applicability period of the support scheme or the number of GCs initially granted to the technology. This reduction would be applied only to new plants.
Law 123/2012 of 19 July 2012 on Electricity and Natural Gas eliminates the provision of bilateral contracts not publicly negotiated as a mean to sale electricity. Thus, trading of electricity must be carried out on a centralized market. On 4 September 2012, ANRE published the Order on Balancing Market. The new regulation has an impact for wind generation. On the one side, it states that for the energy reduced, the producer does not have the right to claim compensations for the loss of unproduced green certificates. This loss cannot be recovered. Also, new rules could result on larger balancing costs as the deficit price that wind generators have to face when the production is lower than the forecast may increase.
The Romanian Parliament passed on 17 December 2013, the law for the approval of the Government Emergency Ordinance 57/2013 (the Ordinance). The law brings several amendments to the Ordinance and implicitly to the Renewables Law (i.e. Law 220/2008). However, this law, although formally approved by the Government has not ratified by the president.
Another important provision of the law is the postponement of Green Certificates of operating plants. The postponement will only apply to renewable energy operators accredited by ANRE before 2013. Wind power producers will receive 2 GCs/MWh until 2017 (inclusive) of which 1 GC will be postponed from trading between 1 July 2013 and 31 March 2017. Solar producers will see 2 GCs (out of 6 GCs) postponed from trading from 1 July 2013 and 31 March 2017. The GCs postponed will be gradually recovered until 31 December 2020 (starting on 1 April 2017 for solar PV and 1 January 2018 for wind).
Wind facilities accredited after this date will receive 1,5 GC/MWh until 2017 and 0,75GC/MWh from 2018 onwards. All these GC will be immediately tradable.
Solar facilities will only receive 3 GC from 1 January 2014 onwards.
Regulatory frameworks for the activities in Italy
On 6 July 2012, the Government approved the new renewable regulation by means of the Decree on Renewables (DM FER) based on feed-in-tariff support scheme. The key aspects of the new regulation provided by the DM FER are the following: (i) Wind farms over 5 MW will be remunerated under a feed-in tariff scheme defined by tenders; (ii) capacity to be tendered is set in different technologies' capacity paths (only set until 2015); (iii) the reference tariff for 2013 is 127 €/MWh for onshore wind. Tender participants will bid offering discounts on a reference tariff (in %);(iv) The reference tariff will decrease 2% per year and will be granted for the whole average useful life of the renewable plant - 20 years for onshore wind.
The new system substitutes the previous one based on GCs. Under the previous system producers obtain their revenues from the sale of the electricity in the electricity market and from the sale of GCs. Wind farms built until December 2012 (with some exceptions) will continue to operate under the previous system until 2015 when the GC system will be transformed into a feed-in-premium.
Regulatory frameworks for the activities in Brazil
The Electrical Sector in Brazil is regulated by Federal Law nº 8,987 of 13 February 1995, which generally rules the concession and permission regime of public services; Law nº 9,074 of 7 July 1995, which rules the grant and extension of public services concession or permission contracts; Federal Law nº 10,438 of 26 April 2002, which governs the increase in Emergency Electric Power Supply and creates the 3,300 MW Program of Incentives for Alternative Electricity Sources (PROINFA); Federal Law nº 10,762 of 11 November 2003 and Law nº 10,848 of 15 March 2004, concerning commercial rules for the trade of Electric Power; and, subsequent amendments to the legislation.
The Decree nº 5,025 of 30 March 2004, regulates the Federal Law nº 10,438 and states the "Alternative Energy Sources" economical and legal framework. PROINFA participants have granted a PPA with ELETROBRÁS, and are subject to the regulator (ANEEL) authority. However, the first stage of PROINFA has ended and the second stage is highly uncertain.
After PROINFA program, renewable producers obtain their remuneration by participating in auctions where price is the only criteria. Winners of the auctions obtain a PPA contract at the price bid. Public Electricity Auctions are technically lead by the state "Energy Planning and Research Company" (EPE), who registers, analyses and allows potential participants.
2. ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a) Basis of preparation
The accompanying consolidated annual accounts have been prepared on the basis of the accounting records of EDP Renováveis, S.A. and consolidated entities. The consolidated annual accounts for 2013 and 2012 have been prepared to present fairly the consolidated equity and consolidated financial position of EDP Renováveis, S.A. and subsidiaries at 31 December 2013 and 2012, the consolidated results of operations, consolidated cash flows and changes in consolidated equity for the years then ended.
In accordance with Regulation (EC) no. 1606/2002 of 19 July 2002, from the European Council and Parliament, the Group's consolidated annual accounts are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), as endorsed by the European Union (EU). IFRS comprise accounting standards issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and its predecessor body as well as interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) and its predecessor bodies.
The Board of Directors approved these consolidated annual accounts on 27 February 2014. These account will be submited for approval of the "Junta General de Accionistas". The annual accounts are presented in thousands of Euros, rounded to the nearest thousand.
The annual accounts have been prepared under the historical cost convention, modified by the application of fair value basis for derivative financial instruments, financial assets and liabilities held for trading and available-for-sale, except those for which a reliable measure of fair value is not available.
The preparation of annual accounts in accordance with the IFRS-EU requires the Board of Directors to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and of the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. The estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered reasonable in accordance with the circumstances. They form the basis for making judgments regarding the values of the assets and liabilities whose valuation is not apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates. The areas involving the highest degree of judgment or complexity, or for which the assumptions and estimates are considered significant, are disclosed in note 3 - Critical accounting estimates and judgments in applying accounting policies.
b) Basis of consolidation
Subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Group. The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date that control commences until the date that control ceases.
The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been changed when necessary to align them with the policies adopted by the Group. Losses applicable to the non-controlling interests in a subsidiary are allocated to the non-controlling interests even if doing so causes the non-controlling interests to have a deficit balance.
Associates
Associates are those entities in which the Group has significant influence, but not control, over the financial and operating policies. Significant influence is presumed to exist when the Group holds between 20 and 50 percent of the voting power of another entity.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are recognised initially at cost. The cost of the investment includes transaction costs.
The consolidated financial statements include the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income, after adjustments to align the accounting policies with those of the Group, from the date that significant influence commences until the date that significant influence ceases.
When the Group's share of losses exceeds its interest in an equity-accounted investee, the carrying amount of that interest, including any long-term investments, is reduced to zero, and the recognition of further losses is discontinued except to the extent that the Group has an obligation or has made payments on behalf of the investee.
Jointly controlled entities
Jointly controlled entities, consolidated under the proportionate consolidation method, are entities over whose activities the Group has joint control along with another company, under a contractual agreement. The consolidated financial statements include the Group's proportionate share of the joint ventures' assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, from the date the joint control begins until it ceases.
Business combination
From 1 January 2010 the Group has applied IFRS 3 Business Combinations (2008) in accounting for business combinations. The change in accounting policy has been applied prospectively and has had no material impact on earnings per share.
Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method as at the acquisition date, which is the date on which control is transferred to the Group. Control is the power to govern the financial and operating policies of an entity so as to obtain benefits from its activities. In assessing control, the Group takes into consideration potential voting rights that currently are exercisable.
Acquisitions on or after 1 January 2010
For acquisitions on or after 1 January 2010, the Group measures goodwill at the acquisition date as:
- The fair value of the consideration transferred; plus
- The recognised amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree; plus
- If the business combination is achieved in stages, the fair value of the existing equity interest in the acquiree; less
- The net recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
When the excess is negative, a bargain purchase gain is recognised immediately in profit or loss.
The consideration transferred does not include amounts related to the settlement of pre-existing relationships. Such amounts are generally recognised in profit or loss.
Costs related to the acquisition, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurs in connection with a business combination are expensed as incurred.
Any contingent consideration payable is recognised at fair value at the acquisition date. If the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it is not remeasured and settlement is accounted for within equity. Otherwise, subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration are recognised in profit or loss.
Some business combinations in the period have been determined provisionally as the Group is currently in the process of measuring the fair value of the net assets acquired. The identifiable net assets have therefore initially been recognised at their provisional value. Adjustments during the measurement period have been recorded as if they had been known at the date of the combination and comparative information for the prior year has been restated where applicable. Adjustments to provisional values only include information relating to events and circumstances existing at the acquisition date and which, had they been known, would have affected the amounts recognised at that date.
After that period, adjustments to initial measurement are only made to correct an error.
In business combinations achieved in stages, any excess of the consideration given, plus the fair value of the interest previously held in the acquiree, and the net assets acquired and net liabilities assumed is recognised as goodwill. Any shortfall, after measuring the consideration given to the previously held interest and identifying and measuring the net assets acquired, is recognised in profit and loss. The Group recognises the difference between the fair value of the interest previously held in the acquiree and its carrying amount in consolidated profit and loss, based on the classification of the interest. The Group also reclassifies amounts deferred in other comprehensive income in relation to the previously held interest to profit and loss or consolidated reserves, based on their nature.
Acquisitions between 1 January 2004 and 1 January 2010
For acquisitions between 1 January 2004 and 1 January 2010, goodwill represents the excess of the cost of the acquisition over the Group's interest in the recognised amount (generally fair value) of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities of the acquiree. When the excess was negative, a bargain purchase gain was recognised immediately in profit or loss.
Transaction costs, other than those associated with the issue of debt or equity securities, that the Group incurred in connection with business combinations were capitalised as part of the cost of the acquisition.
Accounting for acquisitions of non-controlling interests
From 1 January 2010 the Group has applied IAS 27 Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements (2008) in accounting for acquisitions of non-controlling interests. The change in accounting policy has been applied prospectively and has had no impact on earnings per share.
Under the new accounting policy, acquisitions of non-controlling interests are accounted for as transactions with owners in their capacity as owners and therefore no goodwill is recognised as a result of such transactions. The adjustments to non-controlling interests are based on a proportionate amount of the net assets of the subsidiary.
Previously, goodwill was recognised on the acquisition of non-controlling interests in a subsidiary, which represented the excess of the cost of the additional investment over the carrying amount of the interest in the net assets acquired at the date of the transaction.
Investments in foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to Euro at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations, are translated to euro at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign currency differences are recognised in other comprehensive income in the translation reserve. When a foreign operation is disposed of, in part or in full, the relevant amount in the translation reserve is transferred to profit or loss as part of the profit or loss on disposal.
When the settlement of a monetary item receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of a net investment in a foreign operation and are recognised in other comprehensive income, and presented in the translation reserve in equity.
Balances and transactions eliminated on consolidation
Inter-company balances and transactions, including any unrealised gains and losses on transactions between group companies, are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements. Unrealised gains and losses arising from transactions with associates and jointly controlled entities are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in those entities.
Common control transactions
The accounting for transactions among entities under common control is excluded from IFRS 3. Consequently, in the absence of specific guidance, within IFRSs, the EDP Renováveis Group has developed an accounting policy for such transactions, as considered appropriate. According to the Group's policy, business combinations among entities under common control are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the EDP consolidated book values of the acquired company (subgroup). The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets received and the consideration paid, is recognised in equity.
Put options related to non-controlling interests
EDP Renováveis Group records written put options at the date of acquisition of a business combination or at a subsequent date as an advance acquisition of these interests, recording a financial liability for the present value of the best estimate of the amount payable, irrespective of the estimated probability that the options will be exercised. The difference between this amount and the amount corresponding to the percentage of the interests held in the identifiable net assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.
Until 31 December 2009, in years subsequent to initial recognition, the changes in the liability due to the effect of the financial discount are recognised as a financial expense in the consolidated income statement, and the remaining changes are recognised as an adjustment to the cost of the business combination. Where applicable, dividends paid to minority shareholders up to the date the options are exercised are also recorded as adjustments to the cost of the business combination. In the event that the options are not exercised, the transaction would be recorded as a sale of interests to minority shareholders.
As from January 2010, the Group applies IAS 27 (2008) to new put options related to non-controlling interests and there subsequent changes in the carrying amount of the put liability are recognised in profit or loss.
c) Foreign currency transactions
Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the respective functional currencies of Group entities at exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the reporting date are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at that date. The foreign currency gain or loss on monetary items is the difference between amortised cost in the functional currency at the beginning of the period, adjusted for effective interest and payments during the period, and the amortised cost in foreign currency translated at the exchange rate at the end of the reporting period.
Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated to the functional currency at the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Foreign currency differences arising on retranslation are recognised in profit or loss, except for differences arising on the retranslation of available-for-sale equity instruments, a financial liability designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation, or qualifying cash flow hedges, which are recognised in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
d) Derivative financial instruments and hedge accounting
Derivative financial instruments are recognised on the trade date at fair value. Subsequently, the fair value of derivative financial instruments is re-measured on a regular basis, being the gains or losses on re-measurement recognised directly in the income statement, except for derivatives designated as hedging instruments. The recognition of the resulting gains or losses on re-measurement of the derivatives designated as hedging instruments depends on the nature of the risk being hedged and of the hedge model used.
The fair value of derivatives correspond to their quoted market prices as provided by an exchange, or is determined by using net present value techniques, including discounted cash flows models and option pricing models, as appropriate.
Hedge accounting
The Group uses financial instruments to hedge interest and foreign exchange risks resulting from its operational and financing activities. The derivate financial instruments that do not qualify for hedge accounting are recorded as for trading.
The derivatives that are designated as hedging instruments are recorded at fair value, being the gains and losses recognised in accordance with the hedge accounting model adopted by the Group. Hedge accounting is used when:
(i) At the inception of the hedge, the hedge relationship is identified and documented;
(ii) The hedge is expected to be highly effective;
(iii) The effectiveness of the hedge can be reliably measured;
(iv) The hedge is revalued on a on-going basis and is considered to be highly effective over the reporting period; and (v) The forecast transactions hedged are highly probable and represent a risk to changes in cash flows that could affect the income statement.
Derivatives are recognised initially at fair value; attributable transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are accounted for as described below.
Fair value hedge
Changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments that are designated as hedging instruments are recorded in the income statement, together with any changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the risk being hedged. If the hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, the accumulated gains or losses concerning the fair value of the risk being hedged are amortised over the period to maturity.
Cash flow hedge
The effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative financial instruments that are designated as hedging instruments in a cash flow hedge model is recognised in equity. The gains or losses relating to the ineffective portion of the hedging relationship are recognised in the income statement in the moment they occur.
The cumulative gains or losses recognised in equity are also reclassified to the income statement over the periods in which the hedged item will affect the income statement. When the forecast transaction hedge results in the recognition of a non-financial asset, the gains or losses recorded in equity are included in the acquisition cost of the asset.
When a hedging instrument expires or is sold, or when a hedge no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative gain or loss recognised in equity at that time stays recognised in equity until the hedged transaction also affects the income statement. When the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gains or losses recognized in equity are recorded in the income statement.
Net investment hedge
The net investment hedge is applied on a consolidated basis to investments in subsidiaries in foreign currencies. The exchange differences recorded against exchange differences arising on consolidation are offset by the exchange differences arising from the foreign currency borrowings used for the acquisition of those subsidiaries. If the hedging instrument is a derivative, the gains or losses arising from fair value changes are also recorded against exchange differences arising on consolidation. The ineffective portion of the hedging relation is recognised in the income statement.
e) Other financial assets
The Group classifies its other financial assets at acquisition date in the following categories:
Loans and receivable
Loans and receivable are initially recognised at their fair value and subsequently are measured at amortised cost less impairment losses.
Impairment losses are recorded based on the valuation of estimated losses from non-collection of loans and receivable at the balance sheet date. Impairment losses are recognised in the income statement, and can be reversed if the estimated losses decrease in a later period.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
This category includes: (i) financial assets held for trading, which are those acquired principally for the purpose of being sold in the short term and (ii) financial assets that are designated at fair value through profit or loss at inception.
Available-for-sale investments
Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivative financial assets that are designated as available-for-sale and that are not classified in any of the other categories. The Group's investments in equity securities are classified as availablefor-sale financial assets.
Initial recognition, measurement and derecognition
Purchases and sales of: (i) financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and (ii) available-for-sale investments, are recognised on trade date, the date on which the Group commits to purchase or sell the assets.
Financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs except for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, in which case these transaction costs are directly recognised in the income statement.
Financial assets are derecognised when: (i) the contractual rights to receive their cash flows have expired, (ii) the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership or (iii) although retaining some, but not substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership, the Group has transferred the control over the assets.
Subsequent measurement
After initial recognition, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently carried at fair value and gains and losses arising from changes in their fair value are included in the income statement in the period in which they arise.
Available-for-sale financial assets are also subsequently carried at fair value, however, gains and losses arising from changes in their fair value are recognised directly in equity, until the financial assets are derecognised or impaired, being the cumulative gains or losses previously recognised in equity recognised in the income statement. Foreign exchange differences arising from equity investments classified as available-for-sale are also recognised in equity. Interest calculated using the effective interest rate method and dividends, are recognised in the income statement.
The fair values on quoted investments in active markets are based on current bid prices. For unlisted securities the Group determines the fair value through: (i) valuation techniques, including the use of recent arm's length transactions or discounted cash flow analysis and (ii) valuation assumptions based on market information.
Financial instruments whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are carried at cost.
Reclassifications between categories
The Group does not reclassify, after initial recognition, a financial instrument into or out of the fair value through profit or loss category.
Impairment
At each balance sheet date an assessment is performed as to whether there is objective evidence of impairment, namely those resulting in an adverse effect on estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets, and every time it can be reliably measured.
If there is objective evidence of impairment, the recoverable amount of the financial asset is determined, and the impairment loss is recognised in the income statement.
A financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after their initial recognition, such as: (i) in the case of listed securities, a significant or prolonged decline in the listed price of the security, and (ii) in the case of unlisted securities, when that event (or events) has an impact on the estimated amount of the future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets, that can be reliably estimated.
Evaluating the existence of objective evidence of impairment involves judgement, in which case the Group considers, among other factors, price volatility and current economic situation. Thus, when listed securities are concerned, it is considered as continuous a devaluation in the listed price of the security for a period over 24 months and as significant a devaluation of the security's value above 40%.
If there is objective evidence of impairment on available-for-sale investments, the cumulative potential loss recognised in fair values reserves, corresponding to the difference between the acquisition cost and the fair value at the balance sheet date, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in the income statement, is transferred to the income statement.
For debt instruments, if in a subsequent period the amount of the impairment loss decreases, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed to the income statement up to the amount of the acquisition cost, if the increase is objectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised. In the case of equity instruments, impairment losses can not be reversed and any subsequent gain in fair value is recognised in equity under fair value reserves.
f) Financial liabilities
An instrument is classified as a financial liability when it contains a contractual obligation to transfer cash or another financial asset, independently from its legal form. These financial liabilities are recognised (i) initially at fair value less transaction costs and (ii) subsequently at amortised cost, using the effective interest rate method.
The Group derecognises the whole or part of a financial liability when the obligations included in the contract have been satisfied or the Group is legally released of the fundamental obligation related to this liability either through a legal process or by the creditor.
The Group considers that the terms are substantially different if the current value of cash flows discounted under the new terms, including any commission paid net of any commission received, and using the original effective interest rate to make the discount, differs by at least 10% of the current discounted value of cash flows remaining from the original financial liability.
If the exchange is recognised as a cancellation of the original financial liability, costs or commissions are taken to the consolidated income statement. Otherwise, costs or commissions adjust the book value of the liability and are amortised following the amortised cost method over the remaining term of the modified liability.
The Group recognises the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability (or part of a financial liability which has been cancelled or transferred to a third party) and the consideration paid, which includes any asset transferred other than cash or the liability assumed, with a debit or credit to the consolidated income statement.
g) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or construction of assets are capitalised as part of the cost of the assets. A qualifying asset is an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale. To the extent that funds are borrowed generally, the amount of borrowing costs eligible for capitalisation are determined by applying a capitalisation rate to the expenditures on these assets. The capitalisation rate corresponds to the weighted average of the borrowing costs applicable to the borrowings of the enterprise that are outstanding during the period, other than borrowings made specifically for the purpose of obtaining a qualifying asset. The amount of borrowing costs capitalised during a period does not exceed the amount of borrowing costs incurred during the period.
The capitalisation of borrowing costs commences when expenditures for the asset are being incurred, borrowing costs have been incurred and activities necessary to prepare all or part of the assets for their intended use or sale are in progress. Capitalisation ceases when substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the qualifying assets for their intended use or sale are completed. Capitalisation of borrowing costs shall be suspended during extended periods in which active development is interrupted.
h) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at acquisition cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.
Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset. The cost of self-constructed assets includes the cost of materials and direct labour, any other costs directly attributable to bringing the asset to a working condition for its intended use, and the costs of dismantling and removing the items and restoring the site on which they are located. Cost also may include transfers from equity of any gain or loss on qualifying cash flow hedges of foreign currency purchases of property, plant and equipment. Purchased software that is integral to the functionality of the related equipment is capitalised as part of that equipment.
The cost of acquisition includes interest on external financing and personnel costs and other internal expenses directly or indirectly related to work in progress accrued solely during the period of construction. The cost of production is capitalised by charging costs attributable to the asset as own work capitalised under financial expenses and personnel costs and employee benefit expense in the consolidated income statement.
When parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Subsequent costs are recognised as separate assets only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group. All repair and maintenance costs are charged to the income statement during the financial period in which they are incurred.
The Group assesses assets impairment, whenever events or circumstances may indicate that the book value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the impairment being recognised in the income statement.
The recoverable amount is determined by the highest value between the net selling price and its fair value in use, this being calculated by the present value of estimated future cash-flows obtained from the asset and after its disposal at the end of its economic useful life.
Land is not depreciated. Depreciation on the other assets is calculated using the straight-line method over their estimated useful lives, as follows:
| Number of years | |
|---|---|
| Buildings and other constructions | 20 to 33 |
| Plant and machinery: | |
| - Wind farm generation | 25 |
| - Hydroelectric generation | 20 to 30 |
| - Other plant and machinery | 15 to 40 |
| Transport equipment | 3 to 10 |
| Office equipment and tools | 3 to 10 |
| Other tangible fixed assets | 4 to 10 |
i) Intangible assets
The other intangible assets of the Group are booked at acquisition cost less accumulated amortisation and impairment losses. The Group does not own intangible assets with indefinite lives.
The Group assesses for impairment, whenever events or circumstances may indicate that the book value of the asset exceeds its recoverable amount, the impairment being recognised in the income statement. The recoverable value is determined by the highest amount between its net selling price and its value in use, this being calculated by the present value of the estimated future cash-flows obtained from the asset and sale price at the end of its economic useful life.
Acquisition and development of software
Acquired computer software licenses are capitalised on the basis of the costs incurred to acquire and bring to use the specific software. These costs are amortised on the basis of their expected useful lives.
Costs that are directly associated with the development of identifiable specific software applications by the Group, and that will probably generate economic benefits beyond one year, are recognised as intangible assets. These costs include employee costs directly associated with the development of the referred software and are amortised using the straightline method during their expected useful lives.
Maintenance costs of software are charged to the income statement when incurred.
Industrial property and other rights
The amortisation of industrial property and other rights is calculated using the straight-line method for an expected useful live expected of less than 6 years.
Green Certificates
As a consequence of the regulatory changes in Romania there's a new category of Green Certificates (GCs) which although granted are restricted for sale until 2017 (solar) and 2018 (wind). These deferred GCs are recognised as intangible assets when generated at fair market value. These GCs will be offset as they will be collected.
Power purchase agreements
Acquired Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) are booked as intangible assets and amortised using the straight-line method according with the duration of the contract.
j) Impairment of non financial assets
The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets, other than inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, the asset's recoverable amount is then estimated. For goodwill the recoverable amount is estimated at each reporting date.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. In assessing value in use, the estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset. For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or groups of assets (the cash-generating unit). The goodwill acquired in a business combination, for the purpose of impairment testing, is allocated to cash-generating units which are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
An impairment loss is recognised if the carrying amount of an asset or its cash-generating unit exceeds its estimated recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognised in profit or loss. Impairment losses recognised in respect of cashgenerating units are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the units and then to reduce the carrying amount of the other assets in the unit (group of units) on a pro-rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. In respect of other assets, impairment losses recognised in prior periods are assessed at each reporting date for any indications that the loss has decreased or no longer exists. An impairment loss is reversed if there has been a change in circumstances that caused the impairment. An impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset's carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortisation, if no impairment loss had been recognised.
k) Leases
The Group classifies its lease agreements as finance leases or operating leases taking into consideration the substance of the transaction rather than its legal form. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers to the lessee substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Operating leases
Lease payments are recognised as an expense and charged to the income statement in the period to which they relate.
l) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of the acquisition cost and net realisable value. The cost of inventories includes purchases, conversion and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition. The net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated selling costs.
The cost of inventories is assigned by using the weighted average method.
m) Classification of assets and liabilities as current and non-current
The Group classifies assets and liabilities in the consolidated 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 Group's normal operating cycle, they are held primarily for the purpose of trading, they are expected to be realised within twelve months of the balance sheet date or are cash or a cash equivalent, unless the assets may not be exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months from the balance sheet date.
Liabilities are classified as current when they are expected to be settled in the Group's normal operating cycle, they are held primarily for the purpose of trading, they are due to be settled within twelve months of the balance sheet date or the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
Financial liabilities are classified as current when they are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, even if the original term was for a period longer than twelve months, and an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorised for issue.
n) Employee benefits
Pensions
EDP Renováveis Portugal, one of the portuguese companies of EDP Renováveis Group attribute post-retirement plans to their employees under defined benefit plans and defined contribution plans, namely, pension plans that pay complementary old-age, disability and surviving-relative pension complements, as well as early retirement pensions.
Defined benefit plans
In Portugal, the defined benefits plan is financed through a restricted Pension Fund complemented by a specific provision. This Pension Fund covers liabilities for retirement pension complements as well as liabilities for early retirement.
The pension plans of the Group companies in Portugal are classified as defined benefit plans, since the criteria to determine the pension benefit to be received by employees on retirement is predefined and usually depend on factors such as age, years of service and level of salary at the age of retirement.
The liability of the Group with pensions is calculated annually, at the balance sheet date for each plan individually, by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The discount rate used in this calculation is determined by reference to interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liabilities.
Actuarial gains and losses determined annually and resulting from (i) the differences between financial and actuarial assumptions used and real values obtained and (ii) changes in the actuarial assumptions are fully recognised against equity, since the transition date on 1 January 2004.
The increase in past service costs arising from early retirements (retirements before the normal age of retirement) or plan amendments are recognised in the income statement when incurred.
The Group recognises as operational expenses, in the income statement, the current and the past service costs. Net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) is recognised in financial results.
Defined contribution plans
In Spain, Portugal and United States of America, some Group Companies have social benefit plans of defined contribution that complement those granted by the social welfare system to the companies employees, under which they pay a contribution to these plans each year, calculated in accordance with the rules established in each plan. The cost related to defined contribution plans is recognised in the results in the period in which the contribution is made.
Other benefits
Medical care and other plans
In Portugal some Group companies provide medical care during the period of retirement and early retirement, through complementary benefits to those provided by the Social Welfare System. These medical care plans are classified as defined benefit plans. The present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date is recognised as a defined benefit liability. Measurement and recognition of the liability with healthcare benefits is similar to the measurement and recognition of the pension liability for the defined benefit plans, described above.
Variable remuneration to employees
In accordance with the by-laws of certain Group entities, annually the shareholders approve in the annual general meeting a percentage of profits to be paid to the employees (variable remuneration), following a proposal made by the Board of Directors. Payments to employees are recognised in the income statement in the period to which they relate.
o) Provisions
Provisions are recognised when: (i) the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation, (ii) it is probable that settlement will be required in the future and (iii) a reliable estimate of the obligation can be made.
Dismantling and decommissioning provisions
The Group recognises dismantling and decommissioning provisions for property, plant and equipment when a legal or contractual obligation is settled to dismantling and decommissioning those assets at the end of their useful life. Consequently, the Group has booked provisions for property, plant and equipment related with wind turbines, for the expected cost of restoring sites and land to its original condition. The provisions correspond to the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation and are recognised as part of the initial cost or an adjustment to the cost of the respective asset, being depreciated on a straight-line basis over the asset useful life.
The assumptions used are:
| EDPR EU | EDPR NA | |
|---|---|---|
| Average cost per MW (Euros) | 14,000 | 18,549 |
| Salvage value per MW (Euros) | 25,000 | 17,776 |
| Discount rate | 6.33% | 5.38% |
| Inflation rate | 2.00% | 2.50% |
| Capitalisation (number of years) | 25 | 25 |
Decommissioning and dismantling provisions are remeasured on an annual basis based on the best estimate of the settlement amount. The unwinding of the discount at each balance sheet date is charged to the income statement.
p) Recognition of costs and revenue
Costs and revenues are recorded in the year to which they refer regardless of when paid or received, in accordance with the accrual concept. Differences between amounts received and paid and the corresponding revenue and expenditure are recorded under other assets and other liabilities.
Revenue comprises the amounts invoiced on the sale of products or of services rendered, net of value added tax, rebates and discounts, after elimination of intra-group sales.
Revenue from electricity sales is recognised in the period that electricity is generated and transferred to customers.
Engineering revenue includes the initial amount agreed in the contract plus any variations in contract work, claims and incentive payments to the extent that it is probable that they will result in revenue and can be measured reliably. As soon as the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably, contract revenue and expenses are recognised in profit or loss in proportion to the stage of completion of the contract.
Differences between estimated and actual amounts, which are normally not significant, are recorded during the subsequent periods.
Deferred Green Certificates (GCs) are recognised as revenue when they are produced at fair market value.
q) Financial results
Financial results include interest payable on borrowings, interest receivable on funds invested, dividend income, unwinding of the discount of provisions and written put options to non-controlling interests, foreign exchange gains and losses and gains and losses on financial instruments and the accrual of tax equity estimated interest over outstanding liability.
Interest income is recognised in the income statement based on the effective interest rate method. Dividend income is recognised in the income statement on the date the entity's right to receive payments is established.
r) Income tax
Income tax expense comprises current and deferred tax. Current tax and deferred tax are recognised in profit or loss except to the extent that it relates to a business combination, or items recognised directly in equity or in other comprehensive income.
Current tax is the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income or loss for the year, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and any adjustment to tax payable in respect of previous years.
Deferred tax is recognised in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the amounts used for taxation purposes. Deferred tax is not recognised for the following temporary differences: the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and differences relating to investments in subsidiaries and jointly controlled entities to the extent that it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future. In addition, deferred tax is not recognised for taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill. Deferred tax is measured at the tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reverse, based on the laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the reporting date. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if there is a legally enforceable right to offset current tax liabilities and assets, and they relate to income taxes levied by the same tax authority on the same taxable entity, or on different tax entities, but they intend to settle current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or their tax assets and liabilities will be realised simultaneously.
A deferred tax asset is recognised for unused tax losses, tax credits and deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilised. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefit will be realised.
s) Earnings per share
Basic earnings per share are calculated by dividing net profit attributable to equity holders of the parent company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the year, excluding the average number of ordinary shares purchased by the Group and held as treasury stock.
t) Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations
Non-current assets or disposal groups (groups of assets and related liabilities that include at least a non-current asset) are classified as held for sale when their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through sale and the assets or disposal groups are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable.
The Group also classifies as non-current assets held for sale those non-current assets or disposal groups acquired exclusively with a view to its subsequent disposal, that are available for immediate sale and its sale is highly probable.
Immediately before classification as held for sale, the measurement of the non-current assets or all assets and liabilities in a disposal group, is adjusted in accordance with the applicable IFRS. Subsequently, these assets or disposal groups are measured at the lower of their carrying amount at fair value less costs to sell.
u) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include balances with maturity of less than three months from the date of acquisition, including cash and deposits in banks. This caption also includes other short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and specific demand deposits in relation to institutional partnerships that are funds required to be held in escrow sufficient to pay the remaining construction related costs of projects in institutional equity partnerships in U.S.A., in the next twelve months.
v) Government grants
Government grants are recognised initially as deferred income under non-current liabilities when there is reasonable assurance that they will be received and that the Group will comply with the conditions associated with the grant. Grants that compensate the Group for expenses incurred are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the same periods in which the expenses are recognised.
w) Environmental issues
The Group takes measures to prevent, reduce or repair the damage caused to the environment by its activities.
Expenses derived from environmental activities are recognised as other operating expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
x) Institutional partnerships in US wind farms
The Group has entered in several partnerships with institutional investors in the United States, through limited liability company operating agreements that apportion the cash flows generated by the wind farms between the investors and the Company and allocates the tax benefits, which include Production Tax Credits (PTCs), Investment Tax Credits (ITC) and accelerated depreciation, largely to the investor.
The institutional investors purchase their minority partnership interests for an upfront cash payment with an agreed targeted internal rate of return over the period that the tax credits are generated. This anticipated return is computed based on the total anticipated benefit that the institutional investors will receive and includes the value of PTC's / ITC's, allocated taxable income or loss and cash distributions received.
The control and management of these wind farms are a responsibility of EDPR Group and they are fully consolidated in these financial statements.
The upfront cash payment received is recognised under "Liabilities arising from institutional partnerships" and subsequently measured at amortised cost.
This liability is reduced by the value of tax benefits provided and cash distributions made to the institutional investors during the contracted period. The value of the tax benefits delivered, primarily accelerated depreciation and ITC are recognized as Income from institutional partnerships on a pro-rata basis over the 25 year useful life of the underlying projects (see note 7). The value of the PTC's delivered are recorded as generated.
After the Flip Date, the institutional investor retains a small non-controlling interest for the duration of its membership in the structure. The non-controlling interest is entitled to cash distribution and income allocation percentages varying from 2.5% to 6.0%, with the exception of Vento VI in which the institutional investor is allocated 17.0% of income. EDPR NA also has an option to purchase the institutional investor's residual interest at fair market value on the Flip Date for PTC flip structures and generally, six months after the later of the 5-year anniversary of final turbine commissioning date or the Flip Date, or ten years after the final funding date if the Flip Date has not yet occured. The liability for residual interest is accreted on a straight line basis from the funding date through the Flip Date to reflect the institutional investors' minority interest position in the EDPR Group at the Flip Date.
The liability with institutional investors is increased by an interest accrual that is based on the outstanding liability balance and the targeted internal rate of return agreed.
z) EDPR Group concession activities (IFRIC 12)
The International Financial Reporting Commitee (IFRIC) issued in July 2007, IFRIC 12 - Service Concession Arrangements. This interpretation was approved by the European Commission on 25 March 2009 and is applicable for the annual periods beginning after that date. IFRIC 12 is applicable to the public-private concession contracts in which the public entity controls or regulates the services rendered through the utilisation of determined infrastructures as well as the price of these services and equally controls any significant residual interest in those infrastructures.
According to IFRIC 12, the infrastructures allocated to concessions are not recognised by the operator as tangible fixed assets or as financial leases, as the operator does not control the assets. These infrastructures are recognised according to one of the following accounting models, depending on the type of remuneration commitment of the operator assumed by the grantor within the terms of the contract:
Financial Asset Model
This model is applicable when the operator has an unconditional right to receive certain monetary amounts regardless of the level of use of the infrastructures within the concession and results in the recognition of a financial asset, booked at amortised cost.
Intangible Asset Model
This model is applicable when the operator, within the concession, is remunerated on the basis of the level of use of the infrastructures (demand risk) and results in the recognition of an intangible asset.
Mixed Model
This model is applicable when the concession includes simultaneously guaranteed remuneration and remuneration based on the level of use of the infrastructure within the concession.
Under the terms of the contracts in place throughout the Group business, the Management of EDPR concluded that IFRIC 12 is not applicable.
3. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES AND JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The IFRS set forth a range of accounting treatments and require the Board of Directors to apply judgment and make estimates in deciding which treatment is most appropriate.
The main accounting estimates and judgements used in applying the accounting policies are discussed in this note in order to improve the understanding of how their application affects the Group's reported results and disclosures. A broader description of the accounting policies employed by the Group is disclosed in note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Although estimates are calculated by the Board of Directors based on the best information available at 31 December 2013 and 31 December 2012, future events may require changes to these estimates in subsequent years. Any effect on the financial statements of adjustments to be made in subsequent years would be recognised prospectively.
Considering that in many cases there are alternatives to the accounting treatment adopted by EDP Renováveis, the Group's reported results could differ if a different treatment was chosen. EDP Renováveis believes that the choices made are appropriate and that the financial statments are presented fairly, in all material respects, the Group's financial position and results. The alternative outcomes discussed below are presented solely to assist the reader in understanding the financial statments and are not intended to suggest that other alternatives or estimates would be more appropriate.
Impairment of available-for-sale investments
The Group determines that available-for-sale investments are impaired when there has been a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value below its cost.
Determination of a significant or prolonged requires judgment. In making this judgment, the Group evaluates among other factors, the normal volatility in share price. In addition, valuations are generally obtained through listed market prices or valuation models that may require assumptions or judgment in making estimates of fair value.
Alternative methodologies and the use of different assumptions and estimates could result in a higher level of impairment losses recognised with a consequent impact in the income statement of the Group.
Fair value of derivatives
Fair values are based on listed market prices, if available, otherwise fair value is determined either by dealer prices (both for that transaction or for similar instruments traded) or by pricing models, based on net present value of estimated future cash flows which take into account market conditions for the underlying instruments, time value, yield curves and volatility factors. These pricing models may require assumptions or judgments in estimating fair values.
Consequently, the use of a different model or of different assumptions or judgments in applying a particular model may have produced different financial results for a particular period.
Review of the useful life of assets related to production
The Group regularly reviews the useful life of its electrical generation installations in order to bring it into line with the technical and economic measurements of the installations, taking into consideration their technological capacity and prevailing regulatory restrictions.
Impairment of non financial assets
Impairment test are performed whenever there is an indication that the recoverable amount of property, plant, equipment and intangible assets is less than the corresponding net book value of assets.
On an annual basis, the Group reviews the assumptions used to assess the existence of impairment in goodwill resulting from acquisitions of shares in subsidiaries. The assumptions used are sensitive to changes in macroeconomic indicators and business assumptions used by management. The goodwill in associates is reviewed when circumstances indicate the existence of impairment.
Considering that estimated recoverable amounts related to property, plant and equipment, intangible assets and goodwill are based on the best information available, changes in the estimates and judgments could change the impairment test results which could affects the Group's reported results.
Income taxes
The Group is subject to income taxes in numerous jurisdictions. Significant interpretations and estimates are required in determining the global amount for income taxes.
There are many transactions and calculations for which the ultimate tax determination is uncertain during the ordinary course of business. Different interpretations and estimates would result in a different level of income taxes, current and deferred, recognised in the period.
Tax Authorities are entitled to review the EDP Renováveis, and its subsidiaries' determination of its annual taxable earnings, for a determined period that may be extended in case there are tax losses carried forward. Therefore, it is possible that some additional taxes may be assessed, mainly as a result of differences in interpretation of the tax law. However, EDP Renováveis and its subsidiaries, are confident that there will be no material tax assessments within the context of the financial statements.
Dismantling and decommissioning provisions
The Board of Directors considers that Group has contractual obligations with the dismantling and decommissioning of property, plant and equipment related to wind electricity generation. For these responsibilities the Group has recorded provisions for the expected cost of restoring sites and land to its original condition. The provisions correspond to the present value of the expenditure expected to be required to settle the obligation.
The use of different assumptions in estimates and judgments referred may have produced different results from those that have been considered.
Regulatory changes occurred in Spain
As a consequence of the recent regulatory mesures in Spain related with wind farm remuneration (see note 1), EDPR Group estimated and booked the impact of this measure: a decrease in electricity sales of 16,6 millions of Euros (net of 7% tax on electricity sales) and an impairment of 16 millions of Euros (see note 12).
Green Certificates
As a consequence of the regulatory changes in Romenia related to Green Certificates (GCs), the Group has the following assumptions:
(i) For estimating the price of GCs, the model is based on current regulation including the latest developments published in the last months and estimations on renewable capacity to be added in the following years;
(ii) Our GC model determines whether there will be excess or deficit of GCs to evaluate the price to apply; In order to determine whether there will be excess or deficit of GCs, we compare demand with supply of GCs. Demand of GCs is calculated by multiplying gross electricity demand and quotas of renewable electricity. Electricity demand growth is based on ANRE's estimates. EDPR has made sensitivity analyses to the quotas and has assumed a conservative scenario that considers the latest regulatory changes. Regarding supply of GCs, starting from year-end 2013 renewables installed capacity, EDPR assumes capacity additions in line with latest market view on renewables development in the country.
4. FINANCIAL RISK MANAGEMENT POLICIES
The businesses of EDP Renováveis Group are exposed to a variety of financial risks, including the effects of changes in market prices, foreign exchange and interest rates. The main financial risks lie essentially in its debt portfolio, arising from interest-rate and the exchange-rate exposures. The unpredictability of the financial markets is analysed on an ongoing basis in accordance with the EDPR's risk management policy. Financial instruments are used to minimize potential adverse effects resulting from the interest rates and foreign exchange rates risks on EDP Renováveis financial performance.
The Board of Directors of EDP Renováveis is responsible for the definition of general risk-management principles and the establishment of exposure limits. The management of financial risks of EDP Renováveis Group is outsourced to the Finance Department of EDP - Energias de Portugal, S.A., in accordance with the policies approved by the Board of Directors. The outsourcing service includes identification and evaluation of hedging mechanisms appropriate to each exposure.
All transactions undertaken using derivative financial instruments require the prior approval of the Board of Directors, which defines the parameters of each transaction and approves the formal documents describing their objectives.
Exchange-rate risk management
EDP Group's Financial Department is responsible for managing the foreign exchange exposure of the Group, seeking to mitigate the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the net assets and net profits of the Group, using foreign exchange derivatives, foreign exchange debt and/or other hedging structures with symmetrical exposure characteristics to those of the hedged item. The effectiveness of these hedges is reassessed and monitored throughout their lives.
EDPR operates internationally and is exposed to the exchange-rate risk resulting from investments in foreign subsidiaries. With the objective of minimizing the impact of exchange rates fluctuations, EDP Renováveis general policy is to fund each project in the currency of the operating cash flows generated by the project.
Currently, the main currency exposure is the US Dollar, resulting from the shareholding in EDPR NA. With the increasing capacity in other geographies, EDPR is also becoming exposed to other currencies (Brazilian Real, Zloty, New Romanian Leu and Canadian Dollar).
To hedge the risk originated with net investment in EDPR NA, EDP Renováveis entered into a CIRS in USD/EUR with EDP Branch and also uses financial debt expressed in USD. Following the same strategy adopted to hedge these investments in USA, EDP Renováveis has also entered into two CIRS in BRL/EUR and two in PLN/EUR to hedge the investments in Brazil and Poland (see note 36).
Sensitivity analysis - Foreign exchange rate
As a consequence a depreciation/appreciation of 10% in the foreign currency exchange rate, with reference to 31 December 2013 and 2012, would originate an increase/(decrease) in EDP Renováveis Group income statement and equity before taxes, as follows:
| 31 Dec 2013 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Profit or loss | Equity | |||
| Thousands of Euros | +10% | -10% | +10% | -10% |
| USD / EUR | 3,778 | -4,617 | - | - |
| PLN / EUR | 20,883 | -25,524 | - | - |
| RON / EUR | 1,019 | -1,246 | - | - |
| 25,680 | -31,387 | - | - |
| 31 Dec 2012 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Profit or loss | Equity | ||||
| Thousands of Euros | +10% | -10% | +10% | -10% | |
| USD / EUR | 6,202 | -7,581 | - | - | |
| PLN / EUR | 11,628 | -14,213 | - | - | |
| RON / EUR | 5,957 | -7,280 | - | - | |
| 23,787 | -29,074 | - | - |
This analysis assumes that all other variables, namely interest rates, remain unchanged.
Interest rate risk management
The Group's operating cash flows are substantially independent from the fluctuation in interest-rate markets.
The purpose of the interest-rate risk management policies is to reduce the exposure of debt cash flows to market fluctuations. As such, whenever considered necessary and in accordance to the Group's policy, the Group contracts derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risks.
In the floating-rate financing context, the Group contracts interest-rate derivative financial instruments to hedge cash flows associated with future interest payments, which have the effect of converting floating rate loans into fixed rate loans.
All these hedges are undertaken on liabilities in the Group's debt portfolio and are mainly perfect hedges with a high correlation between changes in fair value of the hedging instrument and changes in fair value of the interest-rate risk or upcoming cash flows.
The EDP Renováveis Group has a portfolio of interest-rate derivatives with maturities up to 13 years. The Financial Department of EDP Group undertakes sensitivity analyses of the fair value of financial instruments to interest-rate fluctuations or upcoming cash flows.
About 87% of EDP Renováveis Group financial debt bear interest at fixed rates, considering operations of hedge accounting with financial instruments.
Sensitivity analysis - Interest rates
The management of interest rate risk associated to activities developed by the Group is outsourced to the Financial Department of EDP Group, contracting derivative financial instruments to mitigate this risk.
Based on the debt portfolio of the EDPR EU Group and the related derivative financial instruments used to hedge associated interest rate risk, as well as on the shareholder loans received by EDP Renováveis, a change of 50 basis points in the interest rates with reference to 31 December 2013 and 2012 would increase/(decrease) in EDP Renováveis Group income statement and equity before taxes, as follows:
| 31 Dec 2013 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Profit or loss | Equity | |||
| Thousands of Euros | + 50 bp | - 50 bp | + 50 bp | - 50 bp |
| Cash flow hedge derivatives | - | - | 19,674 | -21,050 |
| Unhedged debt (variable interest rates) | -687 | 687 | - | - |
| -687 | 687 | 19,674 | -21,050 |
| 31 Dec 2012 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Profit or loss | Equity | |||
| Thousands of Euros | + 50 bp | - 50 bp | + 50 bp | - 50 bp |
| Cash flow hedge derivatives | - | - | 22,203 | -24,375 |
| Unhedged debt (variable interest rates) | -667 | 667 | - | - |
| -667 | 667 | 22,203 | -24,375 |
This analysis assumes that all other variables, namely foreign exchange rates, remain unchanged.
Counter-party credit-rate risk management in financial transactions
The EDP Renováveis Group policy in terms of the counterparty risk on financial transactions with companies outside EDP Group is managed by an analysis of the technical capacity, competitiveness, credit rating and exposure to each counterparty. Counterparties in derivatives and financial transactions are restricted to high-quality credit institutions or to the EDP Group.
The EDP Renováveis Group documents financial operations according to international standards. Most derivative financial instruments contracted with credit institutions are engaged under ISDA Master Agreements.
In the specific case of the EDPR EU Group, credit risk is not significant due to the limited average collection period for customer balances and the quality of its debtors. The Group's main customers are operators and distributors in the energy market of their respective countries (OMEL and MEFF in the case of the Spanish market).
In the specific case of EDPR NA Group, credit risk is not significant due to the limited average collection period for customer balances and the quality of its debtors. The Group's main customers are regulated utility companies and regional market agents in the U.S.
EDP Renováveis believes that the amount that best represents the Group's exposure to credit risk corresponds to the carrying amount of Trade receivables and Other debtors, net of the impairment losses recognised. The Group believes that the credit quality of these receivables is adequate and that no significant impaired credits exist that have not been recognised as such and provided for.
Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the possibility that the Group will not be able to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. The Group strategy to manage liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it will always have significant liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Group's reputation.
The liquidity policy followed ensures compliance with payment obligations acquired, through maintaining sufficient credit facilities and having access to the EDP Group facilities.
The EDP Renováveis Group undertakes management of liquidity risk through the engagement and maintenance of credit lines and financing facilities with its main shareholder, as well as directly in the market with national and international financial institutions, assuring the necessary funds to perform its activities.
Market price risk
As at 31 December 2013, market price risk affecting the EDP Renovavéis Group is not significant. In the case of EDPR NA, the great majority of the plants are under power purchase agreements, with fixed or escalating prices. In the case of EDPR EU, the electricity is sold in Spain through regulated tariffs. In the remaining countries, prices are mainly determined through regulated tariffs except for Romania and Poland, where most plants are under power purchase agreements with fixed prices or floors.
For the small share of energy generated with market exposure, this risk is managed through electricity sales swaps. EDPR EU and EDPR NA have electricity sales swaps that qualify for hedge accounting (cash flow hedge) that are related to electricity sales for the years 2014 to 2018 (see note 36). The purpose of EDP Renováveis Group is to hedge a volume of energy generated to reduce its exposure to the energy price volatility.
Capital management
The Group's goal in managing equity, in accordance with the policies established by its main shareholder, is to safeguard the Group's capacity to continue operating as a going concern, grow steadily to meet established growth targets and maintain an optimum equity structure to reduce equity cost.
In conformity with other sector groups, the Group controls its financing structure based on the leverage ratio. This ratio is calculated as net financial borrowings divided by total equity and net borrowings. Net financial borrowings are determined as the sum of financial debt, institutional equity liabilities corrected for non-current deferred revenues, less cash and cash equivalents.

Goodwill impairment tests - EDPR Group
The goodwill of the EDPR Group is tested for impairment each year with basis of September. In the case of operational wind farms, it is performed by determining the recoverable value through the value in use. Goodwill is allocated to each country where EDPR Group performs its activity, so the EDPR Group aggregate all the CGUs cash flows in each country in order to calculate the recoverable amount of goodwill allocated.
To perform this analysis, a Discounted Cash Flow (DCF) method was used. This method is based on the principle that the estimated value of an entity or business is defined by its capacity to generate financial resources in the future, assuming these can be removed from the business and distributed among the company's shareholders, without compromising the maintenance of the activity.
Therefore, for the businesses developed by EDPR's CGUs, the valuation was based on free cash flows generated by the business, discounted at appropriate discount rates.
The future cash flows projection period used is the useful life of the assets (25 years) which is consistent with the current depreciation method. The cash flows also incorporate the long-term off-take contract in place and long-term estimates of power prices, whenever the asset holds merchant exposure.
The main assumptions used for the impairment tests are as follows:
-
Power produced: net capacity factors used for each CGU utilize the wind studies carried out, which takes into account the long-term predictability of wind output and that wind generation is supported in nearly all countries by regulatory mechanisms that allow for production and priority dispatching whenever weather conditions permit;
-
Electricity remuneration: regulated or contracted remuneration has been applied where available, as for the CGUs that benefit from regulated remuneration or that have signed contracts to sell their output during all or part of their useful life; where this is not available, prices were derived using price curves projected by the company based on its experience, internal models and using external data references;
-
New capacity: tests were based on the best information available on the wind farms expected to be built in coming years, adjusted by probability of success and by the growth prospects of the company based on the Business Plan Targets, its historical growth and market size projections. The tests considered the contracted and expected prices to buy turbines from various suppliers;
-
Operating costs: established contracts for land leases and maintenance agreements were used; other operating costs were projected consistent with the company's experience and internal models;
-
Terminal value: considered as a 15% of the initial investment in each wind farm, considering inflation;
-
Discount rate: the discount rates used are post-tax, reflect EDPR Group's best estimate of the risks specific to each CGU and range as follows:
| 2013 | 2012 | |
|---|---|---|
| Portugal and Spain | 5.3% - 6.5% | 7.0% - 7.1% |
| United States | 6.0% - 7.3% | 5.5% - 6.8% |
| Brazil | 8.6% - 9.9% | 7.6% - 8.8% |
| Rest of Europe | 4.8% - 7.6% | 5.9% - 8.2% |
Impairment tests done have taken into account the regulation changes in each country, as disclosed in note 1.
EDPR has performed a series of sensitivity analyses of the results of impairment tests to reasonable changes in some of the key variables, such as:
-
EDPR NA, decrease in the Net Capacity Factors;
-
EDPR NA, 5% and 10% reduction of Merchant Prices.
Furthermore, EDPR Group has done an additional sensitivity analysis increasing 100 basis points the discount rate used in case base for EDPR NA and EDPR EU CGU's. These sensitivity analyses performed for each assumption independently would not suppose any impairment for the goodwill allocated to each country.

The accounting for transactions among entities under common control is excluded from IFRS 3. Consequently, in the absence of specific guidance, within IFRSs, the Group EDPR has adopted an accounting policy for such transactions, judged appropriate. According to the Group's policy, business combinations among entities under common control are accounted for in the consolidated financial statements using the book values of the acquired company (subgroup) in the EDPR consolidated financial statements. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets received and the consideration paid is recognised in equity.
Legal reserve
The legal reserve has been appropriated in accordance with Article 274 of the Spanish Companies Act whereby companies are obliged to transfer 10% of the profits for the year to a legal reserve until such reserve reaches an amount equal to 20% of the share capital. This reserve is not distributable to shareholders and may only be used to offset losses, if no other reserves are available, or to increase the share capital.

The fair value of derivative financial instruments is recorded under Other debtors and other assets (note 24) or Other liabilities and other payables (note 34), if the fair value is positive or negative, respectively.
The net investment derivatives are related to the Group CIRS in USD and EUR with EDP Branch as referred in the notes 38 and 39. The net investment derivatives also include Currency forwards in CAD and CIRS in PLN and BRL with EDP with the purpose of hedging EDP Renováveis Group's operations in Canada, Poland and Brazil.
Interest rate swaps are related to the project finances and have been formalised to convert variable to fixed interest rates.
Cash flow hedge power price swaps are related to the hedging of the sales price. EDPR NA has entered into a power price swap to hedge the variability in the spot market prices received for a portion of the production of Maple Ridge I project. Additionally, both EDPR NA and EDPR EU have entered in short term hedges to hedge the short term volatility of certain un-contracted generation of its wind farms.
In certain US power markets, EDPR NA is exposed to congestion and line loss risks which typically have a negative impact on the price received for power generated in these markets. To economically hedge these risk exposures, EDPR NA entered into Financial Transmission Rights ("FTR") and a three year fixed for floating Locational Marginal Price (LMP) swap.
The trading derivative financial instruments are derivatives contracted for economic hedging that are not eligible for hedge accounting.
Fair value of derivative financial instruments is based on quotes indicated by external entities. These entities use discount cash flows techniques usually accepted and data from public markets. As such, according to IFRS13 requirements, the fair value of the derivative financial instruments is classified as of Level 2 (note 39).

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL ASSETS AND LIABILITIES 39.
Fair value of financial instruments is based, whenever available, on quoted market prices. Otherwise, fair value is determined through internal models, which are based on generally accepted cash flow discounting techniques and option valuation models or through quotations supplied by third parties.
Non-standard instruments may require alternative techniques, which consider their characteristics and the generally accepted market practices applicable to such instruments. These models are developed considering the market variables that affect the underlying instrument, namely yield curves, exchange rates and volatility factors.
Market data is obtained from generally accepted suppliers of financial data (Bloomberg and Reuters).
As at 31 December 2013 and 2012, the following table presents the interest rate curves of the major currencies to which the Group is exposed. These interest rates were used as the base for the fair value calculations made through internal models referred above:

Non-listed equity instruments, for which a reliable and consistent fair value estimate is not available either by internal models or external providers, are recognized at their historical cost.
Available-for-sale financial instruments and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Listed financial instruments are recognized at fair value based on market prices. The financial instruments for which reliable fair value estimates are not available, are recorded in the statement of financial position at their cost (note 19).
Cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables and suppliers
These financial instruments include mainly short term financial assets and liabilities. Given their short term nature at the reporting date, their book values are not significantly different from their fair values.
Financial debt
The fair value of the financial debt is estimated through internal models, which are based on generally accepted cash flow discounting techniques. At the reporting date, the carrying amount of floating rate loans is approximately their fair value. In case of fixed rate loans, mainly the intercompany loans granted by EDP Group, their fair value is obtained through internal models based on generally accepted discounting techniques.
Derivative financial instruments
All derivatives are accounted at their fair value. For those which are quoted in organized markets, the respective market price is used. For over-the-counter derivatives, fair value is estimated through the use of internal models based on cash flow discounting techniques and option valuation models generally accepted by the market, or by dealer price quotations.
CIRS with EDP Branch (note 36)
With the purpose of hedging the foreign exchange risk resulting from the net investment in EDPR NA, the Group entered into a CIRS in USD and EUR with EDP Branch. This financial derivative is presented in the statement of financial position at its fair value, which is estimated by discounting the projected USD and EUR cash flows.

EDP Renováveis executes project finance for its first project in Canada
On 16 January 2014, EDP Renováveis, S.A. (EDPR) has executed a project finance structure agreement for its first wind farm in Canada. The South Branch project located in Ontario with an installed capacity of 30 MW has secured a 20 year Feed-in Tariff awarded by the Ontario Power Authority.
The long-term contracted debt facility amounts to 49 millions of Canadian dollars and the funding is expected to occur during the first quarter of 2014. EDPR financing strategy is to contract long-term debt in local currency at competitive prices in order to mitigate the refinancing risk and to reduce the foreign exchange risk by having a natural hedge between revenues and costs.
With the successful execution of its first wind project in Canada, EDPR adds to its portfolio a market with a low risk profile and attractive wind resource and extends its geographical diversification to 11 markets around the world (US, Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, Brazil and Canada).

Standards, amendments and interpretations issued but not yet effective for the Group
IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued in May 2011, IFRS 10 - Consolidated Financial Statements, with effective date of mandatory application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2014, being allowed its early adoption.
This standard introduces a new approach in determining which investments should be consolidated, replacing IAS 27 - Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and SIC 12 - Consolidation SPE. This standard establishes a single model to be applied in assessing the existence of control over subsidiaries, where an investor has control over a subsidiary when it is exposed, or has the right, to variable returns arising from its involvement in the subsidiary and has the ability to influence these returns because of the power over it. Additionally, was introduced the concept of "de facto control".
Therefore, the companies presented at 31 December 2013 by the full consolidation method and that will be considered into the equity method, is as follows:
| Total Assets |
Total Liabilities |
Total Equity |
Total Incomes |
Total Costs |
Net Results |
|
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Company | Euro'000 | Euro'000 | Euro'000 | Euro'000 | Euro'000 | Euro'000 |

-
for the interests in subsidiaries, should be disclosed: (i) the composition of the group;(ii) non-controlling interests; (iii) significant restrictions on the parent's ability to access or use the assets and settle the liabilities of its subsidiaries; (iv) the nature of, and changes in, the risks associated with interests in consolidated structured entities; and (v) changes in its ownership interest that did or did not result in a loss of control during the reporting period;

IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments
The International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) issued in November 2009, IFRS 9 - Financial instruments part I: Classification and measurement, with effective date of mandatory application for periods beginning on or after 1 January 2015, being allowed its early adoption. This standard, changed in October 2010, has not yet been adopted by the European Union.
This standard is included in phase I of the IASB's comprehensive project to replace IAS 39 and relates to issues of classification and measurement of financial assets. The main issues considered are as follows:
-
the financial assets can be classified in two categories: at amortised cost or at fair value. This decision will be made upon the initial recognition of the financial assets. Its classification depends on how the entity presents these financial assets and the contractual cash flows associated to each financial asset in the business;
-
debt instruments model can be measured at amortised cost when the contractual cash-flows represent only principal and interest payments, which means that it contains only basic loan features, and for which an entity holds the asset to collect the contractual cash flows. All the other debt instruments are recognised at fair value;
-
equity instruments issued by third parties are recognised at fair value with subsequent changes recognised in the profit and loss. However an entity could irrevocably elect equity instruments at initial recognition for which fair value changes and the realised gain or loss are recognised in fair value reserves. Gains and losses recognised in fair value reserves cannot be recycled to profit and loss. This is a discretionary decision, and does not imply that all the equity instruments should be treated on this basis. The dividends received are recognised as income for the year;
-
there is no exemption that allows unquoted equity investments and related derivatives to measure at cost, under IAS 39, is not allowed in IFRS 9;
-
changes in fair value attributable to own credit risk of financial liabilities classified as fair value through profit or loss, shall be recognised in Other comprehensive income. The remaining fair value changes related to these financial liabilities shall be recognised through profit or loss. The amounts recognised in Other comprehensive income shall not be reclassified/transferred to profit and loss.
The Group is evaluating the impact of adopting this standard.

The strategic business units have operations in different geographic zones and are managed separately because their characteristics are quite different. For each of the strategic business units, the Group's CEO reviews internal management reports on at least a quarterly basis.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as described in note 3. Information regarding the results of each reportable segment is included in Annex 1. Performance is based on segment operating profit measures, as included in the internal management reports that are reviewed by the Management. Segment operating profit is used to measure performance as management believes that such information is the most relevant in evaluating the results of certain segments relative to other entities that operate within these industries. Inter-segment pricing is determined on an arm's length basis.
A business segment is an identifiable component of the Group, aimed at providing a single product or service, or a group of related products or services, and it is subject to risks and returns that can be distinguished from those of other business segments.
The Group generates energy from renewable sources in several locations and its activity is managed based on the following business segments:
- À Europe: refers to EDPR EU Group companies operating in Spain, Portugal, Belgium, France, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Romania and United Kingdom;
- À North America: refers to EDPR NA and EDPR Canada Group companies that operate in United Stares of America and Canada, respectively;
- À Brazil: refers to EDPR Brasil Group companies that operate in this country.
Segment definition
The amounts reported in each business segment result from the aggregation of the subsidiaries and business units defined in each segment perimeter, including the intra-segment eliminations, without any inter-segment allocation adjustment.
The financial information disclosed by each business segment is determined based on the amounts booked directly in the subsidiaries that compose the segment, including the intra-segment eliminations, without any inter-segment allocation adjustment.
In December 2013, the EDPR Group changed the reportable segments, as well as the information disclosed in the Segmental Reporting, according to mentioned above criteria. To be comparable, the information reported as at 31 December 2012 has been restated to reflect these changes.

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN
DEAR SHAREHOLDERS,
2013 was a year marked with numerous challenges for EDP Renováveis. However, our vision remains intact and our ability to achieve our targets, yet again, is a testament to the strength and focus of our team. Strategic initiatives implemented in 2012 were successfully executed in 2013 and will serve as the foundation of our growth moving forward. Regulatory changes in Spain changed the investment landscape in one of our core markets and due to the extension of the PTCs, the US placed itself as the growth pillar of EDPR for the upcoming years. The development of the renewable energy sector into a mature sector is unstoppable, becoming increasingly cost-competitive, and we believe we are well positioned to capture value and deliver it to our shareholders.
Marking the five year anniversary of becoming a publicly traded company, 2013 was a year of record performance. Our renewable energy portfolio reached 8.5 GW, produced 19.9 TWh of clean energy, delivered leading operational and financial metrics and all while maintaining the highest levels of sustainability principles.
EDPR shares the DNA of the EDP group, in what regards maintaining a low risk profile as a core priority. Our low risk profile was key to implement a successful self-funding business model – reducing exposure to the volatility of financial markets – which is based on the asset rotation program. Yielding EDPR 620 million euros of value crystallization through several transactions, the program success was determinant. CTG has also been instrumental in this success by recognizing the high quality of our assets and generating interest from our other partners. During the year, EDPR successfully closed its first transaction with CTG and signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) for an investment in our ENEOP projects. This agreement provided further evidence of the successful implementation of the Strategic Partnership.
The wind energy sector is becoming increasingly competitive. Alongside with increased competitiveness, renewables have clear benefits in terms of reducing carbon emissions, creating local jobs, and securing national energy demands. Clearly there is a paradigm shift and in regions with solid renewable resources, wind is already the most competitive technology representing a significant portion of the production mix. For example, in the UK, the entrance price for new nuclear power stations can be 20%-30% above the cost for onshore wind. Also, the outcome of the energy auctions in Brazil showcased the strength of wind as it competed with conventional technologies and secured the bulk of the new long-term contracts. Towards the end of 2013, a record number of wind power MW were under construction in the United States and renewables was the overall leader for new installations in Europe. All this facts are testimonial to the significance of renewable energy, its increased competitiveness and sustainability. Now it is time to debate at a European level the importance of adopting a new Market Design, one that properly answers to the current challenges of the whole electric sector, where the cost of capital is a key factor of competitiveness and where fixed costs are increasingly dominant, as is the case with renewables.
As the sector continues to change and mature, it's important for us to maintain a flexible strategy. Given the inherent quality of our assets EDPR signed over 1,200 MW of long term power purchase agreements in the United States, providing visibility of our growth three years in advance. Because of its diversified portfolio, EDPR additionally secured long-term agreements in Italy and Brazil, an exceptional achievement in our growth markets. But we cannot afford to be careless and must maintain a prudent approach to the business. Inspired by our vision and confident of the long-term value of investing in renewables we continue to explore new markets and new technologies. On the solar side, 2013 was the first year of production of our newly installed plants and we will continue to search for opportunities and capture their potential as their costs continue to decline. In offshore wind, we partnered with GDF Suez and presented ourselves to the French Offshore Round II licenses program. The offshore market showed considerable growth in Europe during the year and looks to be an increasing source of growth in the long-term.
The Company's policy of investing in a diverse portfolio aims to generate consistent returns over the long term. We are pleased with our consistent performance despite the poor economic environment since 2008. We therefore view the next year with a mixture of caution and optimism as we continue to believe that good quality assets in which we invest can prosper even in the current tough environment.
The company continues to execute its strategy to develop and operate a worldwide fleet that generates clean and CO2-free electricity. Respect for biodiversity and supporting the society are decisive contributors to achieve a leadership position in the global arena of sustainability. We continued our commitment with the UN Global Compact to align our operations with the ten principles in the areas of human rights, labour, environment, and anti-corruption. This year, EDPR was distinguished with the number one worldwide position in the FTSE4Good Index and contributed to EDP's leading position in the Dow Jones Sustainability Index.
It takes the performance and dedication of our employees and their strong relationships with our stakeholders to achieve these humbling recognitions. I would like to openly praise their determination in overcoming challenges and capturing new growth opportunities. Based on their assessment, the company was selected as a Best Place to Work in several countries and I along with my colleagues of the Board, will make sure the Company keeps with the highest standards of health and safety, ethics and diversity, while providing challenging career opportunities for our employees.
I would also like to express my confidence in the work developed by the executive team and to give thanks to my fellow board directors for their support and supervisory role. The company has come a long way in five years as a public company. It is now a mature company facing increased challenges. We need to make sure we continue to operate our assets with premium metrics and continue to define our own growth path.
Sincerely,
INTERVIEW WITH THE CEO

2013 MANAGEMENT REPORT : EDP RENOVÁVEIS
Q: WHAT WERE THE MAIN DEVELOPMENTS OF THE RENEWABLE ENERGY SECTOR IN 2013?
JMN: My first comment when I analyse 2013 is that throughout the year we were able to confirm onshore wind technology as a competitive source of electricity. The question is no longer only about being green, but it is also about being competitive when comparing against other sources of generation. The tender for new nuclear power in the UK brought to public knowledge what is the price of a technology. Nuclear is commonly argued to have a lower cost versus renewables, yet the price awarded in this nuclear tender was 20% to 30% higher than the price of onshore wind energy in France or Portugal.
Based on this increased competitiveness, onshore wind continues to lead the number of annual installations worldwide. Excluding Europe, the development of new onshore wind projects increased in the relevant markets. Although installations in the US were drastically lower, once the PTC was extended in the beginning of the year, activity ramped up so that 2014 is now set up to be a solid year of growth due to the record figure of projects already under construction or in a ready-to-build state.
Europe – which is the worldwide leader in the wind energy industry – is lagging in terms of growth due to the increased discussions about the sustainability of renewables. By incorrectly identifying renewables as the cause of the increase in electricity prices, the region's economic competitiveness has declined. This discussion was particularly exacerbated in Spain where the Government unilaterally intervened in the sector's financial stability by changing the regulatory framework for wind energy projects built in the past 20 years.
However, 2013 also confirmed the strong appetite from institutional investors in gaining direct exposure to the solid visible returns provided by wind energy assets that are well managed and remunerated under long-term schemes.
Q: BUT PEOPLE CONTINUE TO PERCEIVE RENEWABLE AS A LUXURY THAT WILL ONLY SURVIVE WITH THE SUPPORT OF SUBSIDIES…
JMN: There are several persistent myths about renewable energy that have penetrated public opinion and are influencing the political landscape around the world. The idea that renewable energy is much more expensive than fossil fuel generation and will always rely on subsidies to be competitive is completely outdated.
When looking to the different investment costs, economic agents need to always analyse what are the total costs of each technology and the truth is that onshore wind with quality load factors is already competitive with all the other electricity generation technologies.
Typically renewable energy is perceived as being expensive because its total cost is compared to wholesale prices, and this is not correct. No technology is profitable based on existing wholesale electricity prices and this demands a restructuring of the electricity market in Europe.
The price gap between the European and the US electricity market is not driven by renewable energies but from the boom in production of shale gas in North America.
Q: WHAT WAS EDPR'S ACTION PLAN FOR THIS CHANGING ENVIRONMENT?
JMN: We decided to implement a rapid shift in investments for the upcoming years. Leveraging on our highly competitive and diversified pipeline of projects, and also on the more favourable business environment in the US, we placed the US at the centre of the company's growth.
In Europe, the management of the regulatory agenda and actively participating in the public debate intensified. This was not only specific to renewable energy but also for other sources of electricity.
I'm always focused on making sure EDPR continues to deliver premium operating metrics, for example in availability and load factors, and that financial sustainability and cost control continues to be a priority for all. With this mind-set we will continue to deliver premium returns.
We also continued our asset rotation strategy of selling minority stakes in operating projects. This allowed us to take advantage of the increased number of low-cost-of-capital financial investors looking to the fundamentals of the wind energy business and its solid low-risk profile.
Q: DOES THIS SHIFT TOWARDS THE US MARKET MEAN EUROPE IS A MARKET WITHOUT GROWTH?
JMN: No. Wind energy is economically competitive and contributes to the de-carbonization and energy independence of the European economy. Europe wants to reduce its CO2 emissions by 40% and just reinforced its objective of having 27% of electricity production coming from renewable sources by 2030. Countries like the UK and Poland will need new power generation capacity as several coal plants are slated to retire in the upcoming years. But one does not need to go that far out in the future to justify the demand as several European markets still need to install new renewables to achieve the 20% renewable energy target by 2020.
EDPR has been operating wind energy assets in the region since the 90's and is currently present in 8 European markets, so we are long-term investors and will continue to look for new opportunities.
Q: HOW IS EDPR PLACED IN THIS NEW COMPETITIVE SCENARIO?
JMN: We really believe in the competitiveness of the projects originated by our teams, and the quality of our portfolio of assets is the most evident proof of it. Based on our knowledge in maximizing wind farms output, we will focus our growth in projects which can sell their production through long-term contracts, typically 15 to 20 years, with terms defined based on competitive systems.
We believe that investments in such a capital intensive business need to have long-term visibility on returns. In our opinion the best way to provide visibility and to deliver the most competitive price to end consumers, is to
introduce ex-ante competition to award contracts for new installations. This competition can exist through energy auctions, organized on a national/regional basis, or through private negotiations with off-takers.
This competition is already a reality in some markets, such as the United States, Portugal and Brazil. It's also gaining traction in several other markets, most recently in Italy, and others are planning to introduce this mechanism for their future capacity additions, like Poland.
Q: LET'S NOW MOVE TO EDPR'S 2013 PERFOMANCE. WHAT WERE THE MAIN HIGHLIGHTS?
JMN: In 2013, the company again delivered quality growth. We met our growth targets with the addition of 502 MW to our portfolio that now reaches 8.5 GW. The high quality assets produced 19.9 GWh of clean electricity and resulted in revenues of 1.4 billion euros.
The additional capacity was concentrated in our growth markets, mainly in Central Eastern Europe which contributed 70% of the new capacity. This included building our largest wind farm in Romania, adding to our leading presence in Poland, and installing our first project in Canada.
The financial results for the year were clearly impacted by the regulatory changes in Spain. What is encouraging is that despite these cumulative changes, which negatively impacted results by 71 million euros, EDPR was still able to deliver financial growth, thus showing the benefits of its diversified portfolio and resilient business model.
Our EBITDA was up 1% year over year, our Net Profit increased 5% and operational cash-flow increased by 5%. Based on these figures and in line with our commitment, the EDPR Board of Directors will propose to distribute 26% of the consolidated Net Profit as dividend.
Q: IN THIS CHANGING ENVIRONMENT IS THE VISION OF THE COMPANY CHANGING FOR THE FUTURE?
JMN: No. When we first identified the potential of renewables, specifically onshore wind, we understood its competitiveness would quickly increase and become cost competitive with alternative options and thus represent an important share of the world's generation mix. This vision materialized and we continue to be strongly committed to it. We continue to see a crucial role of renewable's energy in the energy matrix and its increased competitiveness provides a bright future for the sector.
EDPR is a top worldwide player in renewables and is a long-term investor in the industry. We are experts in the development and operation of wind farms and we want to capitalize on our core capabilities and structural competitive advantages to deliver long-term value to our shareholders and stakeholders.
To obtain long-term value in this industry, EDPR has a strategy structured around three pillars: (i) delivering increased profitability supported by the performance of EDPR's premium wind farms; (ii) selective and profitable growth, and; (iii) a self-funded business model. My commitment to the company is to deliver this strategic agenda.
We need to continue to achieve premium operating figures and to maximize value from the assets already in operation. To achieve this excellence in operations we will continue to execute performance optimization initiatives to increase efficiency and maintain strong control over costs.
Looking for new investments, as I said previously, we introduced in 2013 a shift of the growth towards the United States and the company is committed to adding new value accretive projects to its portfolio. It is also relevant to maintain our self-funded business model and to achieve this we will continue to execute asset rotation transactions and re-invest proceeds in visible projects.
I would like to stress that the company's growth will be focused in markets where the project's output is sold through long-term, low-risk-profile contracts that deliver predictable and recurrent cash-flows and guarantee the stability of the project's return. With this approach, EDPR will be able to define its own future and continue to lead the renewable energy sector.
Q: WHAT IS THE CURRENT STATUS OF THE ASSET ROTATION TRANSACTIONS ALREADY EXECUTED AND WHAT IS THE ROLE OF CHINA THREE GORGES?
JMN: Since we started the asset rotation strategy we have executed 4 transactions and entered into a MoU for a fifth transaction.
Our first partner in the asset rotation strategy was Borealis for a portfolio of US wind farms. The second transaction in the US was with Fiera Axium involving a single wind farm. In Europe, we signed an agreement with Axpo for a portfolio of wind farms in France. And lastly, we signed two agreements with CTG for the assets in Portugal (the first concluded in June 2013 and the second – a MoU – regarding a future transaction including the ENEOP project which is on its way to conclusion).
But what is more important than the number of transactions or the names of the players involved, is the amount invested by our new partners. The first four transactions totalled 620 million euros. This is a remarkable success of the execution of this strategy as it is almost equivalent to a full year of investments for the company.
We will continue to execute new asset rotation transactions as it is a key source of funding for the company and allows it to maintain equilibrium between growth and financial discipline.
Q: IS EDPR LOOKING TO OTHER RENEWABLE TECHNOLOGIES OR WILL IT CONTINUE TO BE WIND COMPANY?
JMN: Onshore wind is our priority. It is the most competitive renewable technology and EDPR has continuously delivered premium operating metrics as a worldwide market leader.
Looking ahead, offshore wind is a natural extension of our strong competences in wind energy. We are actively participating in the UK offshore wind market and we partnered with GDF Suez for an offshore wind tender in France. The main challenge for the offshore projects is to increase its competitiveness and reduce costs.
We are also involved in the solar PV space but the growth and opportunities will always be more limited. We will base our strategy on having an opportunistic approach and implementing a dual strategy where solar is an extension of our developments in wind.
Q; WHAT MAKES EDPR A GREAT PLACE TO WORK?
JMN: First and foremost are our people. It takes a dedicated team of experienced and driven individuals in order to continuously deliver on targets in this incredibly fast paced environment.
In 2014, I will continue to maintain a close relationship and direct contact with each of our employees, listening to their comments and suggestions, explaining the strategic decisions made by the management and continuing the activities developed in 2012 and 2013.
We have received several recognitions and this is a significant achievement for the company. We accept these recognitions with great pride and it is crucial that our employees are happy in their place of work, which in turn contributes to the strong performance of the company.
Beyond that, I believe we offer great training opportunities, competitive benefits, and simply have a group of people who are dedicated to realizing the vision of our company, which is to be a leading renewable energy company in terms of performance and sustainability.
Q: WOULD YOU LIKE TO LEAVE A FINAL MESSAGE?
JMN: I would like to say to our shareholders that we have a good company with high quality assets and a team which is grounded in solid principles and values. We are ambitious but not unrealistic, so we are going to base our growth in areas that fit our low risk investment profile and we are going to fund this growth by executing our strategic agenda. Renewable energy is one of the most competitive sources of energy and has an excellent and important future.
With that said, I would like to thank our employees for their hard work and dedication and our shareholders for their continuing trust and belief in our mission.

EDPR'S GOAL IS TO BUILD THE SAFEST, MOST EFFICIENT AND COST COMPETITIVE PROJECTS.
WHICH FACTORS ARE RELEVANT WHEN CHOOSING A SITE?
To guarantee premium performance of its assets, EDPR carefully analyses the site in terms of the quality of renewable resources, topography, type of soil, and assesses the proximity to transmission lines in order to deliver electricity generated to the grid. The historical data of the renewable resource, such as wind direction, speed and density, and solar radiance, is critical to successfully develop a project.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO COLLECT THE DATA?
To capture and record the most accurate data, EDPR installs sensors and meteorological masts and uses internal models and software tools to analyse the data collected. The process of collecting and analysing data varies from project to project but usually takes about 2 years. The data will then be used to design the most efficient wind farm layout and choose the most suitable generator model.
IS WIND FARM LAYOUT CRITICAL FOR OPERATIONAL PERFORMANCE?
The wind farm layout is key to optimizing the energy that can be captured from the wind. To maximize the electricity that can be produced and maintain cost efficiency, EDPR's energy assessment team designs the layout considering meteorological fundamentals, thermal and topographic effects and variations in wind due to turbine height.
HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO BUILD A WIND FARM?
The construction of a wind farm typically last from six months to one year, depending on the size of the project and soil conditions. The civil infrastructure of a wind farm includes the turbine foundation, permanent and temporary access roads, temporary crane walk paths, erection crane pads and improvements to public roads. Along with the civil infrastructure, medium voltage collection systems and the main transformer substation are also built in order to transfer the electricity from the wind farm to the grid.

WHAT IS CRUCIAL WHEN EVALUATING THE PROJECT AND FUNDING?
EDPR evaluates several risks, of which the most crucial are the financial, commercial and funding. To guarantee a stable cash flow stream, long term agreements are preferred, such as Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). EDPR implemented a self-funding strategy to minimize exposure to fluctuations in capital markets and to continuously deliver new higher quality and value accretive projects.
WHAT IS EDPR'S APPROACH TO ON-GOING MAINTENANCE SERVICE?
Once wind farms are in operation, EDPR follows an operation and maintenance strategy (O&M) to assure high levels of availability and minimal amounts of failures. There are two key warranty periods, the initial warranty period and the post warranty period. Within each period, EDPR employs specific strategies. During the initial warranty period, EDPR closely and proactively supervises its assets. During the post warranty period, EDPR opts between a competitive tender for full scope agreements with subcontractors or internalizes high value added activities through our Modular Maintenance Model (M3).
HOW DOES EDPR GUARANTEE ENVIRONMENTAL SUSTAINABILITY IN ITS WIND FARMS?
EDPR projects are built with a culture of sustainability. During the development phase several studies are carried out to assess potential impacts. While the project is under construction, our team seeks to minimize environmental impact and will restore the land to its initial use once construction is completed. Finally, an Environmental Management System is implemented during the operations phase, which guarantees that procedures are environmentally responsible and allows EDPR to produce CO2 free electricity.
1.3. STRATEGY
EDPR'S STRATEGY IS BASED IN THREE MAIN PILLARS
EDPR's strategy is based in delivering higher profitability supported by the performance of its premium assets and selective and profitable growth through a self-funded business model.
To capture new growth opportunities and expand operations, it is important to successfully select the best projects and to minimize dependence on external sources of funding.

QUALITY ASSETS DELIVERING INCREASED PROFITABILITY
As of December 2013, EDPR managed a global portfolio of 8.5 GW spread over 10 countries, of which 8.0 GW fully consolidated (EBITDA MW) with additional 455 MW equity consolidated through its interest in the Eólicas de Portugal consortium. EDPR's portfolio has low exposure to electricity market volatility as 93% of the installed capacity has pre-defined remuneration schemes with a long-term profile and only 7% is exposed to US spot wholesale electricity markets.
Optimizing performance throughout a project's life-cycle is a key priority at EDPR. EDPR's superior know-how and expertise guided by internal models drives operational metrics above the market, resulting in premium net capacity factors and high levels of availability. EDPR's focus on high operational efficiency metrics, with a comprehensive O&M strategy, is crucial to keep costs under control and key to achieve quality financial metrics.

SELECTIVE AND PROFITABLE GROWTH
To grow profitably and create solid value, EDPR has a low risk strategy when it comes to energy prices. By entering markets with predictable prices through long-term power purchase agreements, EDPR is able to define its future in advance and achieve solid visibility of the projects' stable cash-flow stream.
1,200 MW of new PPAs secured in the US
Since the extension of the PTCs in the United States in early 2013, EDPR secured 1,200 MW of PPAs in the US market with 950 MW for new projects to be installed in 2014 and beyond. The successful outcome from securing long-term PPA agreements reinforces EDPR's shift to markets with a low risk profile.
| State | ||
|---|---|---|
| 250 MW | 20 Years | Oklahoma |
| 300 MW | 20 Years | Indiana/California |
| 200 MW | 20 Years | Oklahoma/California |
| 450 MW | 15/20 Years | Maine/Kansas |
| MW | Duration |
Besides United States, EDPR was also granted during 2013 with new 20-year contracts for projects to be installed in Italy (60 MW) and Brazil (116 MW). The new long-term contract in Brazil, adds to a total of 236 MW of capacity already awarded in Brazil, reinforcing the growth potential of this market. France remains a market where EDPR will continue to grow by taking advantage of its low risk remuneration system.
EDPR continues to pursue new long-term PPAs along with contracts awarded in energy auctions, as these provide predictable prices over the useful life of the projects, allowing the company to define its future in advance and to create value thought projects with solid and visible cash flows.
SELF-FUNDED BUSINESS MODEL
In 2012, EDPR implemented a financial policy that embraces being independent from external funding sources to pursue its growth strategy. In capital intensive businesses, such as renewable energy, it is crucial to have visibility on the company's ability to raise funds to add new value accretive projects when a project is still in the final stages of development. With this mind-set it is of the upmost importance to make sure the operating cashflow of the assets already installed is maximized as this will be the main source of funds for the company's growth.
In order to achieve this strategic pillar, while maximizing the execution of growth opportunities, EDPR implemented its Asset Rotation Strategy. The purpose is to sell minority stakes in operational assets with a low risk profile and reinvest the proceeds in new higher value accretive projects. With the successful execution, EDPR also crystallizes the value of the asset upfront and accelerates the value growth cycle.
620 million euros already signed with Borealis, CTG, Fiera Axium and Axpo
Since the asset rotation strategy was implemented, EDPR has successfully executed four transactions totalling 620 million euros and signed a MoU envisaging an additional one. This remarkable track record in the Asset Rotation strategy, besides being crucial to continue adding news projects to the company's portfolio, also provides a good benchmark of the value of EDPR's assets to the capital markets.
In 2013, EDPR concluded the transactions structured in December 2012 with China Three Gorges (CTG) covering EDPR's wind farms in Portugal (613 MW) and executed deals with Fiera Axium for a 97 MW wind farm in the United States and with Axpo Power for a portfolio of 100 MW in France. Also in 2013 EDPR signed a MoU with CTG envisaging an asset rotation strategy in relation with EDPR's interest in the ENEOP consortium, which is to amount to 535 MW when the construction of the project is finalized.
EDPR's asset rotation strategy leverages on critical expertise in creating value in the project's initial stages, transforming high risk projects into low risk profile assets with a long useful life and stable and visible cash flows. This strategy allows EDPR to monetize the value of the project's future cash flows, while maintaining operating control of the wind farms, and re-investing the proceeds in the development of new higher quality and value accretive projects.
1.4. RISK MANAGEMENT
NEW FOCUS ON COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK AT EDPR
WHAT IS COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK?
Counterparty credit risk is the risk that the counterparty of a transaction could default before the final settlement of the transaction's cash flows. An economic loss could occur if the transactions or portfolio of transactions with the counterparty has a positive economic value at the time of default.
WHO ARE EDPR'S COUNTERPARTIES?
From a credit risk perspective, EDPR classifies its counterparties in to three different groups: Energy off-takers, suppliers (developers, partners, WTG suppliers and O&M suppliers) and financial institutions.
COUNTERPARTY CREDIT RISK POLICY AT EDPR
During 2013, EDPR introduced a new Global Counterparty Credit Risk Policy. To control credit risk at EDPR, thresholds of Expected Loss and Unexpected Loss are established, as defined under Basel Standards, and reevaluated monthly. If threshold is surpassed by any counterparty or by the company as a whole, mitigation measures are implemented in order to remain within the pre-established limit.

Consistent with the maintaining a controlled and low risk profile, EDPR has a Risk Management Process that defines the mechanisms for evaluation and management of risks and opportunities impacting the business. This process increases the likelihood of EDPR achieving its operational and financial targets, by minimizing fluctuations of financial results without compromising returns.
RISK MANAGEMENT PROCESS
EDPR's Risk Management Process is an integrated and transversal management model that ensures the implementation of best practices of Corporate Governance and transparency in the communication to the market and shareholders. This process is closely followed and supervised by the Audit and Control Committee, an independent supervisory body composed of non-executive members.
The purpose of the Risk Management process is to ensure the alignment of EDPR's risk exposure with the company's desired risk profile. It consists of the identification and prioritization of risks, the development of adequate risk management policies, and their implementation. Risk management policies are aimed to mitigate risks, without ignoring potential opportunities, thus, optimizing return versus risk exposure.
Risk management is endorsed by the Executive Committee, supported by the Risk Committee and implemented in dayto-day decisions by all managers of the company. It is supported by three distinct organizational functions, each one with a different role: Strategy (Risk Profiler), Management (Risk Manager) and Controlling (Risk Controller).
These three risk functions work together and meet in the Risk Committee, the forum to discuss global risk policies to be implemented and to control the risk exposure of the company.

RISK AREAS AND MAIN RISK FACTORS
Risk Management at EDPR is focused on covering the market, credit and operational risks of the company. In order to have a holistic view of risks, they were grouped into Risk Areas spanning the three phases of our business model. Within each Risk Area, risks are classified in Risk Groups and finally into Risk Factors. Risk factors are the source of the risk and the purpose of Risk Management at EDPR is to measure, control and eventually mitigate all risk factors that affect the company.
During 2013, EDPR defined or reviewed four new Global Risk Policies: Energy Price Hedging Policy, Counterparty Credit Risk Policy, Country Risk Policy and FX Risk Policy. These policies are already implemented or will be implemented throughout 2014. They tackled those Risk Groups with highest impact in EDPR's financial results.
RISK MATRIX AT EDPR BY RISK GROUP
The following matrix summarizes the Risk Areas, Risk Groups and main Risk Factors of EDPR's business and the mitigation strategies, general and specific to the year 2013.

1.5. SHARE PERFORMANCE

2. WHY INVEST IN RENEWABLES?
2.1. BUSINESS CASE
RENEWABLE ENERGY PROVIDES SUBSTANTIAL BENEFITS FOR OUR ECONOMY, CLIMATE AND HEALTH.
BENEFITS FOR OUR ECONOMY
Renewable energy brings benefits for our economy, mainly from three angles: enhanced security of supply, lower energy bills for end-consumers and job creation.
Enhanced security of supply: Access to cheap energy has become essential to the wealth of modern economies. However, the unbalanced distribution of fossil fuel supplies among countries has led to significant vulnerabilities. Threats to global energy security include political instability of energy producing countries, fluctuating energy supplies, competition over energy resources, among others. Energy dependence puts many countries in a very vulnerable position as it introduces a risk in the price of the imported fuels as well as a potential exposure on its future availability. For example, European's oil and gas import bills in 2012 was estimated at €470 billion which corresponded to 3.4% of the EU's GDP. In contrast, renewable sources use endogenous and unlimited resources such as wind, sun, plant residues, heat from the earth and fast-moving water, which enhance the security of supply, hence removing exposure to fluctuations of fuel prices and concerns about the availability of external supply.
Lower energy bills: Energy-consumers may benefit from lower energy bills as renewables reduce electricity prices. Renewable energy provides affordable electricity as these technologies have negligible variable costs which contributes to reduced wholesale prices. This is in stark contrast to conventional plants which have more expensive fuel costs. Although the cost of investment is high, on a unitary basis, future costs are expected to decline as technology becomes more efficient.
Job creation: Studies show that renewable energy is associated with significant job creation. Although countries that manufacture, install and export renewable energy technologies are likely to create the largest share of gross jobs, countries without this local industry will also benefit from new jobs related to development, construction and, once renewable plants are commissioned, operation and maintenance activities. Compared to conventional technologies, the renewable energy industry is more labour-intensive, meaning that, on average, more jobs are created for each unit of electricity generated from renewables than from conventional technologies.
According to the Political Economy Research Institute at the University of Massachusetts, investing in renewable energy is around 300 per cent more effective than investing in fossil fuel or nuclear jobs. This study concludes that for every million dollars invested in the wind sector it creates 13 jobs. In contrast, only 5 jobs would be created in the natural gas sector and 7 in the coal sector.
BENEFITS FOR OUR CLIMATE
Renewable energy plants produce zero to few greenhouse gases (GHG) emissions. In contrast, conventional energy generation is responsible for most of the human-produced GHG emissions, which trap heat in the atmosphere, driving up our planet's temperature, raising the level of our oceans ("global warming") and provoking harmful consequences on our health, climate and environment.
Therefore, increasing the deployment of renewable energy is probably the most effective way to fight global warming as it allows the replacement of fuel-burning plants with cleaner energy facilities.
BENEFITS FOR OUR HEALTH
Renewable energy sources promote a cleaner air space since they avoid GHG emissions coming from thermal generation. Also, renewable energy sources reduce the amount of oil, gas and coal mining necessary, and therefore, reduce the likelihood of accidental spills and nuclear accidents that these activities may cause. In addition, renewables technologies typically don´t require water to operate and therefore neither pollute water resources, nor compete for them.
2.2. COMPETITIVENESS OF MATURE TECHNOLOGIES
ARE RENEWABLE ENERGIES A LUXURY?
When one needs to decide which electricity generation technology to invest in, to support or to be used to cope with the incremental electricity demand, there is a divide between renewable energies and conventional technologies. This division is also very commonly discussed in daily conversations between people around the world.
Apart from the economic and environmental benefits of the different technologies, as well as the different characteristics of each option, it is of the upmost importance to analyse the total costs of each of the options through the entire lifetime of operation. The most accurate measure to analyse the total cost of each technology is by comparing the Levelized Cost of Energy ("LCOE").
Today, when comparing the LCOE of different technologies, there are renewable technologies which are less expensive than conventional technologies. This is clear in the case of onshore wind technology, which is benefiting from a sharp reduction in the investment costs per MWh and thus leading to stronger competitiveness. The evolution of the investment cost is driven by technological progress and increasing economies of scale.
Onshore wind projects with robust load factors are already competitive with new CCGT (combined cycle gas turbine) power options, even in the US which is benefiting from lower gas costs due to boom in shale gas production. In Brazil, as shown in the latest energy auctions, wind has proven to be the most competitive option (ex-hydro) ahead of biomass and CCGTs.

It is also true that, in terms of LCOE, there are renewable technologies, such as wind offshore, solar CSP, ocean current, tidal, among others, that are not yet mature and must continue to increase their competitiveness if wide scale deployment is to be reached.
2.1.3. PRICE VS. COST
IS IT ACCURATE TO COMPARE DAILY WHOLESALE ELECTRICITY PRICES WITH RENEWABLES COSTS?
One of the main arguments used to characterize renewable energy as expensive is by comparing its costs with electricity wholesale prices. With this, renewable energy costs are being compared to the variable costs of the electricity system, namely the variable cost of conventional technologies. So is it accurate to make this analysis when wholesale prices only reflect the variable cost of production of conventional technologies and not its full cost?
From EDPR's perspective it is inaccurate to make this comparison as:
-
- Renewable energy uses technology with negligible variable costs and so – despite various dispatch priorities – are the most effective and the first to sell its production thus contributing to lowering wholesale prices (in periods with very strong renewable production wholesale prices tend to zero). Renewable energies are creating a benefit for the system that is not being attributed to them.
-
- It is important to recognize that wholesale electricity markets are a highly competitive, and existing conventional generation facilities do not account for the initial capital investment when bidding to capture
WIND ENERGY IMPACT ON PRICE
Wholesale price evolution in Spain in December 2013 is a good example of this. The first two weeks of December were unusually low in terms of wind resource, which led to a sharp increase of the wholesale price, up to its record value (93€/MWh on December, 8). However, meteorological conditions drastically changed at the end of the month and high wind generation made wholesale price plummet (5€/MWh on December, 25).
demand. It is also relevant to note that some conventional technologies are not covering their full costs with the wholesale price and therefore are not sustainable in the long run. There are conventional
technologies that receive additional revenue on top of the wholesale price, including capacity payments and payments for ancillary grid-support services.
- The average life of the different assets in the energy mix distorts the analyses as comparisons are made between renewable assets with few years of operation with conventional facilities where the investment costs are already partially or fully amortised.
The problem of market prices not reflecting the cost structure of energy facilities is not specific to renewable energy. Electricity generation is generally a capital-intensive industry and the variable price obtained in wholesale energy markets is not sufficient to cover the full cost structure, as wholesale markets only create competition and pressure on the company's variable costs. To reduce the high risk attributed by investors to this type of investments – due to the volatility of wholesale markets and the low visibility on the recapture of fixed cost component –regulatory systems were established.
In order to improve competition and to provide investor visibility on returns, ex-ante competition should be introduced to attribute licenses for new generation facilities. With this process, only the best and most efficient projects would be installed.
EDPR believes that long-term contracting is the most efficient way to remunerate generators as it entails the lowest possible cost for consumers by reducing the investment risk for operators and providing long-term visibility on returns.
The rationale is that, as electricity generation investments are capital-intensive, they require stability and visibility. When the regulatory framework doesn´t allow for this stability and visibility (for example, when participating in the wholesale spot market), investors will require a higher risk-premium. On the contrary, schemes providing higher visibility entail lower risk for the equity investor, lower financing costs for the financing entities that will allow lower cost of capital, and therefore lower the required profitability. Lower required profitability will translate into lower required remuneration, which will be passed to the final consumers that will benefit from lower electricity tariffs for the same level of renewable penetration.
2.4. INVESTMENTS AND NEW TECHNOLOGIES
In 2013, according to the Global Wind Energy Council ("GWEC") 35.5 GW of new wind capacity were installed. China remains the main driver of global growth by adding 16.5 GW, nearly half of the total global new wind capacity, and reached 91 GW of installed capacity. According to the European Wind Energy Association ("EWEA"), 11.7 GW were installed in Europe during 2013, bringing the total installed capacity in the region to 121 GW, while based on the American Wind Energy Association ("AWEA") only 1.1 GW were installed in the US reaching a total installed capacity of 61 GW.
EUROPE
In the European Union (EU-28) the total wind capacity by the end of 2013 amounted to 117.3 GW and the electricity produced covered 8% of electricity demand. The year was marked by an increase in offshore technologies.
An annual addition of 11.1 GW, according to EWEA, represents a year over year decrease of 8%. The lower growth rate is reflection of the regulatory and political uncertainty in some European markets. However, despite the slowdown in yearly additions, wind power was the technology which installed the most, accounting for 32% of the new additions.
The new installations were mainly concentrated in two countries, Germany (3.2 GW) and the UK (1.9 GW), with an increasing presence in offshore wind. Germany continues to lead the European market in terms of installed capacity. Rounding out the top 5 are Poland (894 MW), Sweden (724 MW), and Romania (695 MW). EDPR is well positioned in several of these top markets.
Traditional large markets of Spain, Italy, and France saw their rate of new wind projects decrease in 2013, by 84%, 65% and 24% respectively, where regulatory changes in Spain drove the significant decline.
The offshore market in Europe had a record year in terms of new installation by adding an additional 1.6 GW, representing a 34% increase from 2012. For the year, Europe reached 6.6 GW of offshore wind installed capacity spread across 11 countries with the UK alone adding 733 MW, strengthening its worldwide offshore leadership, followed by Denmark (350 MW), Germany (240 MW), Belgium (192 MW) and Sweden (48 MW).
AMERICAS
Uncertainty regarding the extension of the Production Tax Credit ("PTC") and Investment Tax Credit ("ITC") led to a dramatic 92% decrease in installed capacity to 1.1 GW in the United States. However, once the extensions were received, a flurry of construction activity ensued resulting in a record 12 GW of new projects under construction by year end, according to AWEA. 2014 will be a solid year for growth as these projects come online. For the rest of the region, Canada installed 1.6 GW of wind additions, including EDPR's first project with 30 MW, while in Mexico 623 MW were added. Latin America was strongly represented by Brazil, another EDPR market, as it installed 948 MW, followed by Chile (130 MW), and Argentina (76 MW).
The renewable energy market is a growing and increasingly competitive arena which should continue to do well as investment costs decline and regulatory and general support is achieved.

3.1. PREMIUM ASSETS
3.1.1. CAPACITY
EDPR IS A WORLDWIDE MARKET LEADER

With a top quality portfolio present in eleven countries, EDPR has a strong track record and proven capability to execute superior projects and deliver on targets. The installed asset base of 8.5 GW is not only young, on average 5 years; it is also certified in terms of sustainability and safety standards.
Since 2009, EDPR has increased its installed capacity by 2,913 MW, resulting in a total installed capacity of 8,489 MW. As of year-end 2013, EDPR had installed 4,738 MW in Europe, 3,667 MW in North America and 84 MW in Brazil.
During 2013 EDPR added 502 MW to its installed capacity, of which 472 MW were in Europe and 30 MW in North America.
2013 INSTALLATIONS CONCENTRATED IN GROWTH MARKETS
The largest growth in MW occurred due to the 180 MW installed in Poland, maintaining the growth in the country and consolidating its leading position.
In Romania, 172 MW were installed, 160 MW of wind and 12 MW of solar PV. The installations of these new solar MW reinforces the objective of developing new technologies to further diversify EDPR's portfolio and provide additional growth avenues.
In Iberia, EDPR installed 70 MW (including 66 MW attributable to EDPR through the Eólicas de Portugal consortium). The interest in the Eólicas de Portugal consortium totalled 455 MW by year end. Spain's installed capacity of 2.3 GW remains unchanged vs. last year as significant changes were made in the remuneration framework for the renewable sector, including the removal of specific remunerations previously received and the standardization of returns on profitability.
EDPR added 8 MW to its installed capacity in France and completed the extension of the Chimay wind farm, adding 14 MW in Belgium.
2013 marked EDPR's first full year operating in Italy and 30 additional MW were installed, which originated from the existing pipeline.
In North America, EDPR reached a total installed capacity of 3,667 MW with the completion of its first project in Canada. The South Branch project located in Ontario has an installed capacity of 30 MW. With the successful execution of its first wind project in Canada, EDPR adds to its already diversified portfolio a market with a low risk profile and an attractive wind resource.
EDPR's wind installed capacity in Brazil totalled 84 MW and is fully covered under the incentive programs for renewable energy development. Although no new capacity was added during the year, EDPR secured 116 MW of long term PPAs during the December auction, securing future growth.
MW CERTIFIED ISO 14001 AND OHSAS 18001

NEARLY 100% ISO14001 AND OHSAS 18001 CERTIFIED CAPACITY IN EUROPE
EDPR's capacity follows the highest standards to preserve the environment along with the health and safety of the employees. This commitment is recognized with the environmental certification ISO 14001 and Health & Safety certification OHSAS 18001. These certifications cover almost a 100% of our operations in Europe.
In North America, EDPR is currently pursuing ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications for all of its wind farms.
2013 PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS
SOUTH BRANCH: CANADA / 30 MW
South Branch will represent EDPR's first operating wind farm in Canada and is an important first step towards establishing a long-term presence in a market that is strongly committed to environmental leadership and clean energy supply.
LATERZA & CASTELLANETA: ITALY / 30 MW
Laterza (14 MW) and Castellaneta (16 MW) are part of the pipeline fully developed by EDPR. The projects were awarded long term contracts in the first auction on January 2013 and the construction was completed in less than 8 months. During the construction of the project, EDPR's team of experts had to create an innovative type of foundation to compensate for the poor and irregular quality of the soil.
FACAENI: ROMANIA / 132 MW
Facaeni is one of the largest wind farms built in Romania. Due to a strong local presence and expertise, this project was built in record time for a project of this size and despite the challenging weather conditions.
GOLANCZ: POLAND /80 MW
Adding to the existing leadership in Poland, EDPR installed one of its largest wind farms in the area. This along with the additional 100 MW installed during the year solidified the market leading position.


3.1.2. GENERATION
NEARLY 2X INCREASE OVER THE LAST 5 YEARS
EDPR generated 19.9 TWh during 2013, enough to cover an entire year of electricity demand for large metropolitan cities like Madrid, Lisbon, Bucharest, and Houston.

The 8% year over year increase in the electricity output benefited from the capacity additions over the last 12 months and the strong wind resource in Europe throughout 2013.
EDPR achieved a 30% load factor during 2013, which is +0.6pp higher over last year, maintaining its leading position within the wind sector and reflecting the intrinsic quality of the wind farms.
EDPR also achieved a stellar 98% availability. EDPR continues to leverage on its competitive advantages to maximize wind farm output and on its diversified portfolio to mitigate the wind volatility risk.
PREMIUM PERFORMANCE AND DIVERSIFIED PORTFOLIO DELIVERS BALANCED OUTPUT
EDPR's operations in Europe were the main driver for the electricity production growth in 2013, increasing by +15% YoY to 9.5 TWh and represented 48% of the total output (45% in 2012). This performance was driven by strong output growth across all European regions. EDPR achieved a 28% load factor in Europe, +2pp vs. 2012, further reflecting the strong wind resource.

| West | 1.018 | 3% | 29% | 3 pp |
| BRAZIL | 230 | -1% | 31% | (0 pp) |
Both Spain and Portugal delivered a 29% load factor (vs. 27% in 2012), primarily due to the outstanding performance in the first and fourth quarter of 2013. In Spain, EDPR delivered once again a solid premium over the Spanish market average load factor (+2pp).
The Rest of Europe operations delivered a 25% load factor (24% in 2012) and posted higher year over year generation. Romania increased its production by 226 GWh as new capacity and solid resource contributed to the strong performance. Higher production in Poland was mainly due to a full year of operations for capacity installed in 2012. Italy generated 83 GWh in its first operational year.
In North America, EDPR's electricity output increased to 10.1 TWh (+2% YoY), supported by a higher average MW in operation in light of the lower load factor. Events not related to the wind resource resulted in a slightly lower load factor of 32% (33% in 2012); however, excluding this impact the load factor would be in line with the previous year.
In 2013, EDPR's output in Brazil decreased 1% YoY to 230 GWh, as a result of a lower wind resource during the third quarter, and led to a stable load factor of 31%. The Tramandai wind farm continues to deliver above average load factors.
CARBON FREE EMISSIONS
The 19.9 TWh of electricity produced has zero carbon emissions, thus contributing to the world's fight against climate change. Based on each countries' thermal emission factors, an estimate of 16 million tons of CO2
CO2 EQ AVOIDED(kt)
equivalent emissions were avoided that would have otherwise been emitted by burning fossil fuels to generate the same amount of electricity in the geographies where EDPR is present.

3.1.3. SELLING PRICE
As a part of maintaining a low risk profile, EDPR's coverage of installed capacity under regulated or long term remuneration schemes increased to 93%.
The average selling price decreased by 2% to €62.4/MWh (-€1.1/MWh YoY), driven mainly by regulatory changes in Spain (-9% YoY) partially offset by a higher production mix towards European output (48% vs. 45%) and a higher average selling price in the US (+3% YoY) and Brazil (+8% YoY).
EDPR'S BALANCED PORTFOLIO HELPS MINIMIZE THE IMPACT FROM NEW REGULATIONS
The 2013 average selling price in Europe decreased 6% YoY to €88.7/MWh (€94.2/MWh in 2012) mainly due to lower selling prices throughout the countries, except for France (indexed to inflation) and Belgium (PPA with a fixed price). In Portugal, the lower price was driven by the above average wind resource, ultimately resulting in higher revenues.

In Spain, changes in the remuneration framework, that were previously announced, drove the decline. The new framework, defined in RDL 9/2013, includes the removal of remuneration received for reactive power (up to €3.5/MWh) and sets the profitability of all assets at the Spanish 10-year Bond yield plus 300 basis points. The net result is a steep decline in the remuneration received as the average selling price fell to €80.0/MWh or a 9% year over year decline. As the production of Spain contributes to nearly 30% of EDPR´s generation, the impact is significant.
Although the average selling price in Portugal decreased to €99.3/MWh (-3% YoY), it was more than compensated by the increase in electricity output. All the wind farms that contribute to Portugal´s EBITDA are under the old remuneration scheme. Under this scheme there is a negative correlation between the price and the annual working hours. Whenever, there is a stronger wind resource, the final realized price will tend to be lower as a result of the tariff formula.
In Romania, the average selling price decreased to €110.9/MWh (-19% YoY). A key component of the remuneration scheme is the sale of Green Certificates (GCs). Renewable operators generate GCs based on the electricity output and have the option to sell them during monthly auctions. During the year, Romania approved Emergency Government Ordinance 57/2013, which caused uncertainty in the GC market leading to a decline in prices; however, there was a recovery during the fourth quarter. The new legislation does not change the number of GCs earned but rather delays the ability to sell 1GC for wind and 2GC for solar projects to 2017.
In Poland, the average selling price decreased to €95.6/MWh (-6% YoY). Similar to the remuneration scheme in Romania, renewable projects receive green certificates, which can be sold, and prices based on the spot market. During the year, several factors resulted in lower energy and green certificate market prices such as a decline in fuel and CO2 prices and decreased electricity demand.
In France, the selling price improved 1% YoY to €90.2/MWh, while in Belgium it remained stable at €112.0/MWh due to the long-term PPA contracts in place.
In Italy, the above average selling price achieved reached €137.6/MWh, benefiting from the favourable remuneration scheme.
US MARKET SHOWS SIGNS OF IMPROVEMENT AS PRICES INCREASE
In the United States, the electricity generated from EDPR´s projects are primarily sold under long term power purchase agreements with fixed escalators or sold merchant on the spot market with short-term hedges. The average selling price increased 3% YoY to \$48.6/MWh, driven mainly by a greater weight of output from projects with PPAs (which usually have annual price escalators) and an improvement of prices in the spot market.
Average selling prices for wind farms under PPA increased 2% YoY to \$52.6/MWh, resulting from the contracted price escalators and the contribution of new PPAs. Selling prices for the production exposed to wholesale electricity increased 2% YoY to \$31.9/MWh, benefiting from the recovery in wholesale gas prices from an average of \$2.8/MMBtu in 2012 to \$3.7/MMBtu in 2013.

From the beginning of 2013, EDPR has secured 1,200 MW of new wind energy PPAs. 250 MW for projects that were already in operation and 950MW will be installed over the next 3 years starting in 2014. The MW to be installed are backed by seven PPAs and are spread across the United States in five different states (California, Oklahoma, Kansas, Maine, and Indiana). In addition to the wind energy PPAs, EDPR has also secured two PPAs for 30 MW of solar plants to be installed in California. In line with EDPR´s growth strategy of expanding in to new technologies, the planned solar plant will be the first for EDPR in the North American market, capitalizing on both the attractiveness of the investment and the expertise gained from the installation of solar plants in Romania starting in 2012.
2013 MANAGEMENT REPORT : EDP RENOVÁVEIS
Risk management is critical when the price received from generating electricity is subject to the uncertainty in the wholesale market. In order to improve certainty and decrease exposure to volatile spot prices, EDPR entered into power futures contracts, partially hedging US merchant exposure. This allowed EDPR to secure a fixed price for a stated volume and provide price stability and effectively reduce the monthly cash flow volatility due to the variation in market-driven electricity prices.
BRAZIL PRICES INCREASE IN LINE WITH ESCALATORS
In 2013, the average selling price in Brazil increased 8% to R\$309.2/MWh, reflecting the updated PPA price in accordance with the adjustment for inflation.

3.2. EXCELLENCE IN OPERATIONS
Given the nature of the renewable energy business where excellence in development, construction and operations are paramount to ensure project success, EDPR prides itself in having developed competencies in all of these areas that set it apart from other players in the industry.
These areas of expertise are not limited to the more technical aspects of the business, such as the design of the wind farms, but encompass every aspect from environmental issues to the work developed in partnership with local communities. Most importantly these areas are supported by the knowledge and know-how of EDPR's team of young, highly skilled employees.
It is their tireless effort in the design, construction and day-to-day operation of our renewable power plants that drives our industry leading efficiency metrics.

3.2.1 DEVELOPMENT
Industry leading load factors
16.3 GW of pipeline under development
Environmental and social criteria in project selection
EDPR vs. Spanish Market Average

The development stage of the project is by far the most critical. The choice of location, wind farm layout or wind turbine generator will influence the top-line return of the project for the next 25 years of operations. Once the wind farm is up and running, certain adjustments can be made to maximize output and reduce costs, however the fundamental drivers of return were decided years before, during development.
Finding the prime locations to build our wind farms and defining the optimal placing of the turbines is critical for a project's success. Placing the turbine in a sub-optimal location could significantly reduce a wind turbine's net capacity factor. For this reason, EDPR has implemented a thorough process that ensures the quality of the new additions to the global portfolio and tries to anticipate during the early stages of the development if a project will meet the highest standards defined by the company.
However, not only technical factors are taken into consideration during this initial process. Social and environmental aspects of potential sites are evaluated
before initiating the permitting process, following our environmental and biodiversity policy commitments, in order to ensure that our development portfolio only considers projects that can meet our highest environmental standards.
WIND FARM LAYOUT DESIGN
EDPR uses a two stage process to determine the optimal layout for a wind farm to maximize the profitability of the project. This process is carried out by one of the most experienced teams in the industry, including experts with more than 10 years of experience.
One of the first steps of developing a project is to use complex mathematical models to produce a series of layout options. Information on wind speeds, wind direction, foundation costs and zone restrictions are among the many variables considered in the model. Once these options are developed it's also important to consider the potential losses in energy output due to the "wake effect".
This effect relates to the loss of energy and increased turbulence caused by rotating blades on downstream wind turbines. It is important to anticipate the potential impact and adjust the layout accordingly because once a wind farm is built no further changes can be made without a sizeable impact. The ultimate goal is to design a layout that will capture the maximum amount of the wind resource, minimize construction costs and avoid unsustainable areas.
Since a wind farm can become a part of the local community, their input is also critical to achieve our goals. Early engagement provides a valuable understanding of the social considerations of the sites and also ensures a good and smooth development. During this process, potential conditions that might be attached to the consent of the wind farm are discussed. These conditions can influence the layout, construction techniques, scheduling, post-consent monitoring, and studies. Public consultations are a standard practice to understand social considerations and are well attended by the locals and often receive coverage in the local media.
WIND TURBINE GENERATOR CHOICE
As well as optimizing the layout of the wind farm, great effort is taken into choosing the best fit wind turbine generator for each site. When developing a new project our technical and procurement teams work closely to choose the model that will provide the best all-round profitability for the project. This is a delicate balance between the technical specifications of each model and the price offered by the manufacturer. The model selected is based on maximizing return, which based on the economics, could come at the expense of maximizing production.
EDPR manages more than 70 wind turbine models from 9 different suppliers in its global portfolio. The experience gained in working with a diversified portfolio of models helps ensure low turbine supply risk, high productivity and competitive pricing among turbine manufacturers.
3.2.2. ENGINEERING & CONSTRUCTION
502 MW built during 2013
>200 turbines erected in 2013
Personnel safety injury rate decreased 40%
A main goal of EDPR's engineering and construction team is to build highly efficient wind farms, while closely monitoring the investment costs, and to design wind farms that will require minimal infrastructure maintenance costs during the useful life of the asset. This is done with strict adherence to local and internal construction standards, considering on-site conditions and minimizing the impact on local communities and the environment.
During the engineering phase EDPR's teams perform deep geological researches with the aim of avoiding uncertainties during construction as well as designing optimal foundations, roads and platforms. The proper design of roads and other structures minimizes the use of earthworks, which ultimately reduces the construction costs of each project.
The electrical infrastructure requires equal time and effort. In this stage the choice of cables takes into consideration the best economics as well as the technical characteristics of the wind turbines to ultimately design the best electrical grid crossing.
The infrastructure investments developed have an ultimate positive benefit for the surrounding communities. The reinforcement of the existing electricity networks and the rehabilitation of existing roads, or the construction of new roads, is a valuable asset for the surrounding communities who may be able to use the developed infrastructure to access remote locations. Moreover, an upgraded electricity distribution system can increase the quality of the electricity supply by increasing stability and reducing outages.
The presence of EDPR in the area encourages economic development of the region, which can see an influx of temporary construction workers that brings local spending and increased sales tax revenue. Closely collaborating with stakeholders is important to ensure they maximize the value generated.
In the construction phase, EDPR stands out through its contract strategy and procurement process, among others. EDPR has perfected its contract strategy to provide the best balance between price and risk. This is done through several turnkey contracts for the wind turbines, construction works and electrical infrastructure that guarantee internal leadership in the construction management, whilst reducing the prices and controlling the schedule and possible deviations.
MAIN STAGES OF WIND FARM CONSTRUCTION

1 – Construction of access roads.
2 – Foundations and Pads. Depending on the terrain construction of the wind farm foundation can be a difficult task. In EDPR's Facaeni wind farm, due to the soil conditions the foundation had to be built with 18 piles per turbine.
3 – Collector system (cables that link the wind turbine to the substation).
4 – Wind turbine generator (WTG) transport. The size and weight of the wind turbines means that transport is a logistical challenge. Turbines are moved in sections with some weighing in excess of 70 tons.
- 5 WTG installation.
- 6 Substation.
- 7 Evacuation line.
With regards to the procurement process, EDPR has implemented a process that guarantees technical considerations and competitive pricing. This includes a bidding process for several contractors with several stages of negotiations. Commercial and technical assessments are carried out in parallel to get the best commercial offer (economics, guarantees, low risk, financing) to assure the whole scope is included and quality and technical specifications are fulfilled.
Environmental requirements and best practices are also included in the bidding documentation or in specific environmental management plans. The construction of our projects brings many external partners and we believe it is essential to involve the entire value chain in order to guarantee that they are aligned with our environmental strategy. EDPR performs monitoring plans to ensure that the environmental requirements are met and in the unlikely event that an unexpected environmental impact is identified we are able to quickly implement the corrective measure.
A SAFE ENVIRONMENT FOR OUR EMPLOYEES AND CONTRACTORS

3.2.3. OPERATIONS
>5000 turbines remotely operated
97.7% availability
NEVERENDING ENERGY
42
CO2 free electricity with a small water and waste footprint

As the operator of a global fleet of 8.5 GW, EDPR places great attention on effectively managing its assets. Ensuring that operations and maintenance costs are kept to a minimum through the useful life of the wind farms, and maximizing their return is cornerstone of this process.
In addition to its leading O&M strategy and remote operations infrastructure, EDPR continues to seek gains year after year in other areas such as improved warehouse logistics, better power forecasting and leaner operations. Minor improvements in any of these areas multiply into significant cost savings for the company and its shareholders.
IMPROVING POWER FORECASTING
During the day-to-day operation of a wind farm, forecasting plays a critical role as it allows EDPR to accurately predict the future energy generation. If wind farms are able to accurately forecast there energy production they can minimize imbalance costs and help improve the energy system as a whole. Energy imbalances happen when actual production or usage of energy is lower/higher that the scheduled amount. If a wind farm produces less energy that it forecasted it will have to pay the energy system authority for this deviation. To avoid such costs it is imperative that wind farm energy forecasts are as accurate as possible.
As with layout optimization, forecasting of energy production falls on EDPR's energy assessment team. In this case state-of-the art physical and statistical modelling is used to predict the wind resource for all our wind farms on an hourly basis. The availability of on-site wind data and advances in meteorological modelling has significantly helped improve the forecasting ability over the last years. However certain challenges remain such as accounting for thermal winds, complex terrain, very high winds and the impact from icing.
To deal with some of these problems EDPR has implemented a successful program to identify and correct periods of curtailment or unavailability. Our teams periodically analyse the millions of data points collected to identify problems and implement corrections. This program has resulted in a 10% improvement in the forecasting of production from some critical wind farms throughout 2013.
ASSET OPERATIONS
EDPR's top line revenues are the result of the product of two key factors, energy generated and selling price. As a result, selling the energy generated at attractive prices whilst reducing volatility is as important as maximizing production.
EDPR's energy management team uses long-term power purchasing agreements signed with local off takers to stabilize the energy price received for as long as 20 years. Additionally, depending on the specificities of each contract, exposure to other market uncertainties is also reduced. 93% of EDPR's capacity is covered either by the
Guaranteeing a healthy and safe work environment for our employees and contractors is fundamental in all aspects of the business. EDPR's Health and Safety policy, available on our website, reflects the company's commitment to the prevention of occupational risks associated with our activities.
To support our strategy on health and safety, we have implemented proper management systems. These systems are adapted to each country, with specific standards and procedures based on the regulation and best practices.
The Management System is being certified OHSAS 18001:2007. At the end of 2013, the certification covered 3,387 MW, representing 42% of EDPR's installed capacity. The certification was additionally extended to Belgium and Romania.
During 2013, EDPR registered a substantial improvement in its health & safety ratios. The number of accidents registered for employees and contractor personnel reduced by 50%, an improvement towards our zero accidents goal stated in our Health & Safety policy.
regulatory stability of country specific frameworks or long-term PPAs and the remaining 7% is exposed to the changes in energy spot markets. To further reduce its exposure to spot markets, following our low risk strategy, EDPR uses short-term hedging instruments to sell energy at fixed prices.
During 2013 EDPR signed 1,200 MW of long-term PPA in the US and contracted short-term hedges in at least 4 geographies.
M3 MAINTENANCE SYSTEM
During the first years of a wind farm's life, operations and maintenance of the wind turbine generators is usually guaranteed by the turbine manufacturer. Once this period has finished, EDPR must decide on the optimal maintenance system that will reduce costs, whilst maintaining high levels of availability. To deal with this problem EDPR has implemented a successful O&M program called M3 (Modular Maintenance Model). Depending on the country, turbine type, historical performance and other technical aspects, our O&M teams will decide on the optimal balance between external contractors and in-house maintenance. Usually, EDPR keeps control of high value-added activities such as maintenance planning, logistics and remote operations while outsourcing, under direct supervision, people intensive tasks.
This strategy has resulted in high costs savings for the company. When compared with other post-warranty wind farms under full scope O&M contracts, the costs savings achieve 15% and reaches 20% when compared with wind farms under their initial warranty.
EDPR'S LEAN PROGRAM
Launched in 2011, EDPR's Lean program focuses on optimizing process across the company's business using the lean-six sigma methodology. The objective is to leverage front-line personnel ideas and experience to improve the company's revenues and costs, improve safety and reduce environmental impact.
Within this strategy EDPR has implemented two programs, "Daily Lean" and "Lean improvement". The first applies continuous improvement to the day-to-day activities at our wind farms, with the objective of reducing repetitive and non-value added tasks. Improving the tracking of repaired components and warehouse layout are two examples of the results of this program.
The second program "Lean Improvement", developed together between our performance engineers and our field personnel, identifies and solves issues that are common to a fleet of turbines or part of a fleet. This program implemented changes that help reduce the impact of lightning damage and reduce gearbox overheating among many others.
BEYOND OPERATIONS
A GREEN ENERGY WITH A SMALL FOOTPRINT

- EDPR mitigates climate change; increase in global temperature and other symptoms of climate change such as extreme weather events will greatly reduce the biodiversity in most parts of the world
- EDPR takes precautionary measures to avoid locating wind farms in areas where they could pose risks to biodiversity.
- EDPR defines preventive, corrective and compensatory measures to reach an overall positive balance of our projects and activities
ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT
EDPR is very conscious of the importance of proper management of environmental matters in the wind farms in operation, which is assured through the Environmental Management System (EMS). The system ensures compliance with legal requirements and focuses on relevant environmental aspects, while setting environmental objectives and targets to improve environmental performance at country and platform levels. In the US, EDPR has completed the implementation of an EMS for all of its operating wind farms and the platform is currently pursuing ISO 14001 certification.
3.2.4. HUMAN CAPITAL
To attract, develop and retain talent is a main goal of EDPR's Human Resources strategy. At EDPR, our people are very important and we, as a responsible employer, want to retain them by offering quality employment that can be balanced with personal life.
Despite a difficult macroeconomic environment, our employee base increased by three percent over last year to reach 890. New employees have the opportunity to join a company with a strong work culture that emphasizes team work within a diverse environment represented by 24 nationalities.
We strive to offer our workforce with opportunities to develop professionally and to assume new roles to reach the company's goals. Our employees are distributed globally as 24% of our employees work at EDPR Holding, 44% within the European Platform, 29% within the North American Platform and 2% in Brazil. All are encouraged to take advantage of the functional and geographic mobility opportunities so they can assume more responsibilities.

In 2013, EDPR hired 91 employees, 32% of which are women. EDPR additionally offered 87 long term internships and 18 summer internships.
INTEGRATION
EDPR has a strong company culture, and wants new hires to be able to understand this culture and quickly adopt it in their day-to-day activities. To encourage this, new hires are involved in a number of workshops and team building activities aimed at improving integration and gaining a better understanding of the company.
Our Welcome Day, a three day event for new hires, allows new employees to obtain basic knowledge of the company, our business, and depending on the employee's profile, a visit to one of the wind farms or the remote control dispatch centre. During 2013, EDPR introduced a new integration tool called the Induction Plan. New hires spend a few days at the corporate headquarters and are guided by colleagues from different areas to learn key aspects of their job and gain a better understanding of their work and how it contributes to the mission of EDPR.

BENEFITS& WORK LIFE BALANCE
BENEFITS
EDPR is committed to offer a competitive compensation and benefits package to recognize the work and talent of our employees. The compensation policy addresses the needs of local markets and provides flexibility to adapt to the specifics of each region. In addition to a fixed base compensation, there is a variable component that depends on a performance evaluation measured against the company's performance, area and individual KPIs.
Our performance based compensation is an important tool to promote a greater focus from our employees on not only the company's objectives but personal and team objectives as well. In order to be competitive in the marketplace and recruit the best talent, EDPR reviews and benchmarks itself against local markets in order to offer the most attractive benefits packages. For example, in 2013, EDPR extended the coverage of its life and accident insurances to 100% of the employees.
WORK LIFE BALANCE
At EDPR, we understand the importance of maintaining a balance between work and personal commitments. This understanding has led to an increase of employees' satisfaction, while boosting productivity, and morale.
EDPR has work-life balance programs and aims to constantly improve and provide the most suitable benefits to employees. Often specific benefits are only applicable to certain countries in which EDPR is present. As an example of normalizing key benefits across the countries, EDPR employees in the United States can now enjoy extended maternity leave, as it is a common practice in Europe.
Since 2011, EDPR's practices have been recognized with the Family Responsible Employer Certification (EFR-Empresa Familiarmente Responsable) by the MásFamilia Foundation, in Spain. This certification reflects EDPR's commitment to promote a healthy work-life balance for its employees. EDPR stood out for its effectiveness in terms of scheduling flexibility, family support, equal opportunities and its ambitious policy of continuous improvement.
EDPR does not limit itself to only providing benefits to the community through the construction of new wind farms and solar plants. Employees are also encouraged to actively participate in their communities and to be responsive and aware of emerging needs through many volunteering initiatives sponsored by EDPR's Volunteering Program. Employees can choose from several campaigns to donate financially or participate directly in volunteering opportunities held during working hours or weekends. For example, during the Christmas holidays, a campaign was started in partnership with a NGO to raise fund for a social initiative in South America.

Promoting talent from within is a strategic choice to ensure the long term advancement of EDPR. Recognizing that future leaders of EDPR could be present in the existing talent pool, a specific training program (HIPO) is essential to developing the skills of these high potential employees. In 2013, EDPR launched an innovative coaching program for those in the HIPO program. The objective is to enhance the professional development and soft skills through one on one coaching/mentoring session with a senior leader.
RENEWABLE ENERGY SCHOOL
In 2013, the Renewable Energy School had gained relevance as a tool aimed at sharing internal knowledge and fostering networking opportunities. The School has now established itself as a platform for knowledge sharing and exchange of best practices across the company and has been tasked with delivering the core programme within the defined EDPR employees' Training Roadmap.
The objective of the EDP University training is to familiarize employees with the core business of the company and to broaden their horizons by providing them with an overview of the strategic challenges that the company faces.
During 2013, the Renewable Energy School delivered 34 training sessions across Europe and the US, representing 7.444 hours
and a total of 761 attendances. During this period, the School engaged 67 internal experts as trainers for these courses and has successfully implemented the strategy of reaching out to EDPR local offices by organizing courses in 8 different locations.
PROMOTIONS & MOBILITY
All our employees are covered by our performance evaluation system that collects information from several data sources to evaluate employee performance.
In the context of fostering workers' growth through diversity of experience, EDPR encourages professional mobility. To support the global growth strategy, mobility is of upmost importance as a powerful tool to share EDPR culture and best practices with new markets where we plan to enter.
During 2013, 41 employees had functional or geographical mobility and, including 10 new expats during the year, making a total of 25 expats.
COMMUNICATION
At EDPR, it is important to have open lines of communications with employees. Different measures were implemented to gather and analyse opinions and suggestions. EDPR's CEO is keen on connecting with employees and will regularly hold organized meetings with a small group of employees to discuss important issues in an open forum. Continuous feedback between areas, through various means, is important to eliminate silos and encourage greater and more efficient teamwork.
In addition to open communication channels established between employees, satisfaction surveys are conducted every two years to gather opinions and gain an understanding of the motivation and satisfaction level of employees. The participation rate in this year's survey reached 95% with a satisfaction score of 77%.
In addition, EDPR continued among the 50 best companies to work in the GPTW Rankings in Spain, UK and Poland, where we pursued this recognition.

MEETING WITH THE CEO
Based on the feedback of our employees, we have organized during 2013 meetings sessions between our employees and the CEO.
During these meetings, employees are given the opportunity to share their point of view of the business from their positions and learn about the strategy of the company and how this relates to their day-to-day tasks. This is a great opportunity for employees to better understand their impact on the business.
In Spain, 53% of our employees already had the chance to meet the CEO. This initiative has already started in other EDPR geographies. The feedback received from our employees is very positive.

EDPR's ability to attract, develop, and retain talent is a testament to its commitment to excelling in all areas. It's no wonder that EDPR continues to be among the 50 best companies to work for as determined by the Great Place to Work rankings. A motivated workforce aligned with the company's strategy is one of the key drivers behind our ability to deliver on results during 2013.

EBITDA OF 947 MILLION EUROS
EBITDA improved 1% to 947 million euros, representing a 70% EBITDA margin. EBITDA grew despite the negative cumulative impact of 71 million euros related to all 2013 Spanish regulatory changes, including a 17 million euros adjustment on sales, related to the framework (RDL 9/2013) that was announced in July 2013 and pending approval.
NET PROFIT INCREASED 7% TO 135 MILLION EUROS
The positive year over year growth in Net Profit highlights EDPR's ability to transform strong operational metrics into quality bottom-line metrics.
ROBUST CASH-FLOW
Operating Cash-Flow increased 5% to 700
million euros, which more than covered the Capex expenditure of the year.
In 2013, EDPR concluded the sale of a minority equity stake and shareholders' loans in wind farms in Portugal to CTG, and executed a sale of a minority equity stake in the US with Fiera Axium, for a combined total of 402 million euros. In October 2013, EDPR structured an additional asset rotation transaction with Axpo Group for a portfolio of wind farms in France. The financial close occurred during the first quarter of 2014.
Capital expenditures (Capex) totalled 627 million euros reflecting the capacity additions and the capacity under construction. Moreover a cash grant for 120 million dollars was collected in the US. As a result of the robust cash flow, execution of the asset rotation strategy, and close monitoring of expenditures, Net Debt decreased by 23 million euros.
STRONG BALANCE SHEET
1 Attributable to EDPR equity holders
Execution of the asset rotation strategy primarily helped increase EDPR's total equity by 340 million euros to reach 6.1 billion euros.
Total liabilities decreased 531 million euros to 7.0 billion euros. This decrease was mainly driven by lower financial debt and a decrease in accounts payables.
Total assets of 13.1 billion euros are 190 million euros lower versus last year, mainly due to the depreciation of the US Dollar.
4.1. INCOME STATEMENT
SOLID TOP LINE PERFORMANCE
EDPR continues to deliver solid operating performance results as Revenues increased 6% to 1.4 billion euros.
In addition to operating assets to generate maximum revenue, controlling costs and achieving high levels of efficiency is equally a strong focus for EDPR. Operational expenditures (Opex) - defined as Operating Costs excluding Other operating income – increased 10% to 451 million euros. The increase is mostly a result of the 7% tax on electricity sales introduced in Spain during the year, which negatively impacted results by 32 million
euros. On a per MW basis, the ratio is higher versus 2012; however, adjusting the ratio for this tax along with write-offs, EDPR's Opex per MW actually decreased 2% as a result of strict cost control.
Other operating income totalled 42 million euros in 2013. During the beginning of the year, EDPR re-designed the off taking volumes of a long term PPA in the US, which partially contributed to the amount. The decrease versus last year is mainly due to the 32 million euros recorded, in the prior year, as a result of asset revaluation.
Despite the negative impacts from regulatory changes in Spain, EBITDA increased 1% to 947 million euros due to leading operational metrics and strict control over costs, leading to a 70% EBITDA margin.
EBIT (operating income) improved 5% to 473 million euros, reflecting the 2% lower depreciation and amortisation charges, including impairments. In 2013, EBIT was negatively impacted by 20 million euros of

impairments, of which 9 million euros related to Spain and booked in the fourth quarter of 2013.
At the financial results level, net financial expenses decreased 5%, as net interest costs were lower, benefiting from a lower average debt and a stable 5.2% cost of debt. Institutional partnership costs were 9% lower, while the devaluation in the Zloty and Leu led to a negative forex impact. Share of profits of associates increased 9 million euros to 16 million euros mainly due to the stronger results of ENEOP.
Pre-Tax Profit increased 24% to 226 million euros resulting in Income Taxes of 57 million euros, equivalent to a 25% effective tax rate. Non-controlling interests totalled 34 million euros, a 24 million euros increase mainly as a result of the asset rotation strategy of selling minority stakes in operational assets.
All in all, Net Profit increased 7% to 135 million euros. When adjusting 2012 and 2013 for non-recurrent events on operating income, forex differences, capital gains, and tax asset base revaluation, the Adjusted Net Profit increases to 145 million euros, an 8% increase.

4.2. BALANCE SHEET
EQUITY INCREASES BY 340 MILLION EUROS
Total Equity of 6.1 billion euros increased by 340 million euros during year, with 93 million euros attributable to non-controlling interests. The increased equity attributable to the shareholders of EDPR of 247 million euros is a result of the 135 million euros of Net Profit, reduced by the 35 million euros in dividend payments, as well as the sale of non-controlling interests which contributed 147 million euros.

While equity increased, total liabilities reduced 7% to 531 million euros, mainly in financial debt (-182 million euros) and accounts payable (-185 million euros).
With total liabilities of 7.0 billion euros, the debt-to-equity ratio of EDPR stood at 1.2x by the end of 2013, which is a year over year decrease from the 1.3x in 2012. Liabilities were mainly composed of financial debt (53%), liabilities related to institutional partnerships in the US (12%), and accounts payable (20%).
Liabilities to tax equity partnerships in the US stood at 836 million euros (-106 million euros or -11% from prior yearend). Deferred revenues related to institutional partnerships primarily represent the non-economic liability associated to the tax credits already realized by the institutional investor, arising from accelerated tax depreciation, and yet to be recognized as income by EDPR throughout the remaining useful lifetime of the respective assets.
Deferred tax liabilities reflect the liabilities arising from temporary differences between the accounting and the tax basis of assets and liabilities. Accounts payables include trade suppliers, PP&E suppliers, deferred income related to investment grants received and derivative financial instruments.
As total assets totalled 13.1 billion euros in 2013, the equity ratio of EDPR reached 46%, versus 43% in 2012, highlighting the continued de-leveraging of the company. Assets were 79% composed of net PP&E - property, plant
and equipment, reflecting the cumulative net invested capital in renewable energy generation assets.
Total net PP&E of 10.4 billion euros changed in the year for the new additions during the year of 584 million euros, and reduced by 505 million euros for depreciation charges, impairment losses and write-offs plus an additional 260 million euros due to forex conversion, mainly as the result of a weaker US Dollar.
Net intangible assets mainly include 1.3 billion euros from goodwill registered in the books, for the most part related to acquisitions in the US and Spain, while accounts receivable are mainly related to loans to related parties, trade receivables, guarantees and tax receivables.

4.3. CASH-FLOW STATEMENT
IMPROVED RECURRENT CASH FLOW
EDPR generated Operating Cash-Flow of 700 million euros, a 5% increase from the prior year. EDPR continues to benefit from the strong cash-flow generation capabilities of its assets in operation.
The key items that explain 2013 cash-flow evolution are the following:
-
- Funds from operations (FFO), resulting from EBITDA after net interest expenses, income from associates and current taxes, increased to 671 million euros;
-
- Operating Cash-Flow, this is FFO before net interest costs, adjusted by non-cash items (namely write-offs and income from US institutional partnerships) and net of changes in working capital, amounted to 700 million euros.
-
- Capex related to the on-going construction and development works totalled 627 million euros. In Europe Capex reached 387 million euros, almost entirely dedicated to projects in Poland and Romania, while 212 million euros were in North America. A large part of the Capex in the US occurred during the fourth quarter in order to qualify projects for the PTC program. Other net investing activities amounted to 136 million euros, mostly reflecting the settlements to equipment suppliers related to Capex from previous periods and net of the 120 million US Dollars cash grant collected from the US Treasury related with the Marble River wind farm added in 2012.
-
- As part of the asset rotation program, EDPR concluded the sale of noncontrolling interests and shareholders' loans amounting to 402 million euros.
-
- Total dividends and capital distributions paid amounted to 76 million euros, which includes the 35 million euros paid to EDPR shareholders.
- -Forex & Others had a negative effect, increasing Net Debt by 20 million euros.
NET DEBT DECREASES BY 23 MILLION EUROS
All in all, Net Debt decreased versus last year and stood at 3,283 million euros by year end. In line with the selffunded business model and focus on operational excellence, EDPR will continue to benefit from the solid free cash-flow generation capabilities of its

As of December 2013, 59% of EDPR's financial debt was Euro denominated, while 35% was funded in US Dollar due to the investment in the US and the remaining 6% is mostly related with debt in Polish Zloty and Brazilian Real.
EDPR's debt has a long-term profile as 82% of the financial debt has a 2018 and beyond maturity. EDPR continues to follow a long-term fixed rate funding strategy and mitigate its interest rate risk by matching the operating cash-flow profile with its financial costs.
In addition to the long-term profile, stability in the average interest rate is a priority for controlling costs. 88% of the debt is financed based on a fixed rate debt profile and the average interest rate was stable at 5.2%.
INSTITUTIONAL PARTNERSHIPS
Liabilities referred to as Institutional Partnerships decreased 106 million euros to 836 million euros, mainly due to tax benefits allocated to tax equity partners during the period and US Dollar depreciation.

4.5. EUROPE
REVENUES
In Europe, EDPR delivered a 9% year-on-year growth in revenues, to 844 million euros. Increasing growth in Rest of Europe led to a higher contribution to Revenues, reaching 26% in 2013 versus 24% in the prior year. Consequently, the contribution from Spain and Portugal reduced to 55% and 19%, respectively.
The performance was driven by the higher electricity output which more than offset the effect of a lower average selling price. In detail, the increase in revenues was the result of higher revenues in Rest of Europe (+34 million euros), Spain (+18 million euros) and Portugal (+11 million euros). The stronger wind resource drove revenues higher by 123 million euros whereas the lower average selling price partially offset this by 57 million euros.
AVERAGE SELLING PRICE
The average selling price in Europe decreased 6% to €89/MWh. In Spain the average selling price was impacted by changes in the remuneration framework for renewable assets and in Rest of Europe mainly by the lower realised price in Romania due to lower green certificate prices following some uncertainty created by the approval of Emergency Government Ordinance 57/2013.
OPERATING COSTS AND INCOME

EBITDA in Europe decreased 4% to 609 million euros, leading to an EBITDA margin of 72%, while EBIT reached 359 million euros.

OPERATING COSTS AND INCOME
Net Operating Costs decreased 7% to 198 million US Dollars, given the higher other operating income in 2013 versus 2012. The increase in other operating income reflects the 18 million US Dollar restructuring impact of the off-taking volumes of a PPA for 200 MW. A strict control over costs and high efficiency levels resulted in 3% decrease in Opex per MW.

REVENUES
In Brazil, EDPR reached revenues of 70 million reais, representing a 12% increase versus the prior year primarily based on the higher average selling price.
The average selling price in Brazil increased 8% to R\$309/MWh, basically reflecting the inflation indexed adjustments in the PPA.
EDPR installed capacity in Brazil is fully under incentive programs for renewable energy development. These programs provide long-term visibility, setting long-term contracts to sell the electricity produced for 20 years, which translates into a stable and visible cash-flow generation throughout the projects' life.

OPERATING COSTS AND INCOME
Net Operating Costs increased during the year mainly driven by several non-recurring events in Supplies and Services. All in all, EBITDA was stable at 41 million reais, leading to an EBITDA margin of 59%.

5. GRI REPORT
This sustainability report responds to the GRI G3.1 Guidelines indicators, and also provides information on the additional electricity sector supplement indicators directly related to the company business, which is the power generation from renewable sources.
EDPR is not a traditional utility company, as its core business is based on generating electricity from renewable sources and does not include power distribution or power commercialization. As a result exceptions may exist for GRI and Sector Supplement indicators. We also consider as our final product the electricity produced by our wind energy assets. EDPR is committed to the progressive improvement of the information provided.
According to GRI Guidelines, this chapter presents sustainability performance indicators to describe the company's performance in 2013 for each one of the applicable or material GRI indicators. This section also includes references to other chapters of this integrated report, so it can be used as an index to find the company's management approach and strategy regarding specific topics. A complete GRI index can be found at www.edpr.com.

EC2 - Financial implications and other risks and opportunities for the organization's activities due to climate change.
The non-renewable power sector is responsible for producing more than 40% of all CO2 emissions by burning fossil fuels and about 25% of the total greenhouse gas emissions (GHG). Promoting a shift from conventional fossil fuels to renewable energy is one of the most effective and feasible near-term ways of mitigating climate change.
The company's growth plans of pure renewable energy represent a solid commitment to foster the use of green energy sources. Moreover, we are committed to support the use the best technologies available in order to preserve natural resources and reduce pollution.

EC6 - Policy, practices, and proportion of spending on locally-based suppliers at significant locations of operation.
Wind energy creates many direct and indirect jobs. During the construction of our projects, the local community can see an influx of temporary construction workers that provide a positive impact on the local economy through local spending and increased sales tax revenue.
However at EDPR, there is no specific policy or in-house procedure for preferring locally based suppliers.
EC7 - Procedures for local hiring and proportion of senior management hired from the local community at significant locations of operation.
Our Code of Ethics contains specific clauses of non-discrimination and equal opportunities in line with the company's culture of diversity. This is reflected in our procedures for hiring people via a non-discriminatory selection processes. A potential employee's race, gender, sexual orientation, religion, marital status, disability, political orientation or opinions of any other nature, ethnic or social origin, place of birth or trade union membership are not considered.

EC8 - Development and impact of infrastructure investments and services provided primarily for public benefit through commercial, in-kind, or pro bono engagement.
Wind and solar energy require infrastructure investments which benefit surrounding communities. This includes the reinforcement of existing electricity networks and the rehabilitation of existing roads or the construction of new roads.
The investment in roads is necessary in order to transport heavy equipment (wind turbine components, power transformers, etc.) to the site during construction. The improved road system facilitates future maintenance activities after construction works, as well as improves access to remote locations for the surrounding communities. During the operation of our wind farms, these roads are maintained and further opportunities may be identified to increase the positive impact in the community.
The integration of our generation capacity may also require upgrades in the distribution and transmission grids that belong to the system operators. Those upgrades indirectly benefit the quality of service offered in the surrounding areas by minimizing electricity supply interruptions.
In 2013, EDPR invested 7.4 million Euros to developing these types of infrastructures.
EC9 - Understanding and describing significant indirect economic impacts, including the extent of impacts.
Wind and solar energies create a positive impact on the local economies in terms of turnover, Gross Value Added (GVA), employment created and also in terms of energy security.

EN4 - Indirect energy consumption by primary source.
Wind turbines require a small amount of electricity to operate. This energy consumption is generally selfconsumed. Given the intermittency of wind generation we sometimes need to consume electricity from the grid. The indirect CO2 emissions related to the consumed electricity is around 0.14% of the emissions avoided by the company.
| Wind farms indirect emissions | 2013 | 2012 |
|---|---|---|
| Energy consumption (GWh) | 54.4 | 51.2 |
| Thousand tons CO2 | 23.2 | 21.7 |
EN7 - Initiatives to reduce indirect energy consumption and reductions achieved.
Our activity is based on clean energy generation, and we produce about 350,500 times the electricity we consume. However, we are conscious about promoting a culture of rational use of resources and we promote many internal campaigns to promote sustainable behaviours as is explained in the following pages.
For additional information about our initiatives to promote sustainable behaviours, please refer to the EN18 Indicator.
EN8 - Total water withdrawal by source.
Generation from wind energy does not consume water in its operational processes. The water is consumed only for human use. The consumption of water per GWh generated accounts for 0.46 litres/GWh. Even so, the company actively seeks to adopt more eco-efficient practices. An example of this is that in 2013 seven substations installed rain water collection and treatment systems to cover their own water supply needs.

EN12 - Description of significant impacts of activities, products, and services on biodiversity in protected areas and areas of high biodiversity value outside protected areas.
Potential environmental impacts are analysed in detail in the environmental impact studies of the projects. Additionally feasible alternatives are assessed and preventive, corrective and compensation measures are determined.
The company has defined general procedures in its Environmental Management System to prevent, correct or compensate impacts in the environment. In addition, efforts are intensified with specific monitoring procedures in the small number of sites located inside or close to protected areas.
For additional information, visit our environmental information on the sustainability section our website, www.edpr.com.
EU13 - Biodiversity of offset habitats compared to the biodiversity of the affected areas.
In the small number of sites located inside or close to protected areas, we intensify our efforts with specific monitoring procedures, as defined in our Environmental Management System.
For additional information, visit our environmental information on the sustainability section our website, www.edpr.com.
EN13 - Habitats protected or restored.
After the construction period, it is our duty to return the site to its initial state. Therefore, we perform morphological restoration and reseeding works. In 2013, 57 ha of affected land were restored.
EDPR has been collaborating for the past years with the Natural Heritage Foundation of Castilla y León (Spain). As part of the activities financed we highlight the environmental restoration of an area heavily impacted by a public motorway in the Burgos province of Spain. The restoration project created a wetland system that provides shelter and food for migratory birds crossing the Iberian Peninsula. Long fly routes without intermediate rest areas is one of the main causes of stress for migratory birds crossing the central dry regions of Spain.
The restored area also provides a habitat for numerous amphibians and reptile species and has benefited surrounding populations by recovering the landscape, designing flood control systems, implementing noise insulation from the motorway, among other benefits.
The collaboration of EDPR with the Natural Heritage Foundation of Castilla y León has also included other projects, such as:
- -The restoration of various natural ponds in Carcedo de Burgos.
- -Construction of a visitor's centre in Aliseda de Tormes.
-
- Adaptation of the pathways at the "Lagunas glaciares de Neila" natural park and signposts showing regulations for public use.
- -Monitoring of the Dupont's Lark in the area of Medinaceli.
-
- Monitoring, preservation and improvement of the habitats of the Black Stork, the Cinereous Vulture, the Spanish Imperial Eagle and other birds of prey in the province of Ávila.
EN14 - Strategies, current actions, and future plans for managing impacts on biodiversity.
The increase in global temperature and other symptoms of climate change such as extreme weather events will greatly reduce the biodiversity in most parts of the world. Acting now to mitigate climate change can avoid the projected climatic range loss for biodiversity. EDPR is committed to promote biodiversity conservation and has an active role in reducing loss in biodiversity.
The management of the impact on biodiversity is part of our own environmental policy. We take precautionary measures to avoid locating wind farms in areas where they could pose risks to biodiversity. Through preventive, corrective and compensatory measures we seek an overall positive balance of our projects and activities.
In 2013, we focused our efforts to standardize our environmental impact assessment studies, by adopting best practices, reinforced mitigation and compensation measures and adopted more efficient post-construction monitoring practices.
EN16 - Total direct and indirect greenhouse gas emissions by weight.
Our indirect emissions represent 0.2% of the total amount of emissions avoided and approximately 74% of the emissions are from the necessary electricity consumption by the wind farms.
In addition, part of the equipment used for electricity generation purposes contains SF6 gasses and during 2013 we registered emissions of 9.14 kg of this gas.

Notes: Gas consumption emissions were estimated according to the GHG protocol. Electricity consumption emissions were calculated with the global emission factors of each country and state within the US.
EN17 - Other relevant indirect greenhouse gas emissions by weight.
Our work requires our employees to travel and commute. Based on our estimates, the transportation used by our employees accounted for a total of 6,925 tons of CO2 emissions.
Notes 1: Transport emissions were calculated according to the DEFRA standard.
Notes 2: Employee commuting emissions were calculated from data collected in a survey to all employees.
EN18 - Initiatives to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and reductions achieved.
Our core business activity inherently implies the reduction GHG emissions. Wind and solar energy has zero carbon emissions, contributing to the world's fight against climate change and does not produce harmful SOx, NOx, or mercury emissions, protecting valuable air and water resources. We estimated that our activities avoided the emission of 16,296 thousand tons of CO2.
For additional information about our emissions avoidance, please refer to the Generation Section.
Even though our activity is based on the clean energy generation, we are conscious about promoting a culture of rational use of resources. During 2013, we continued promoting initiatives that foster environmental best practices in our offices.
Note: To calculate the emissions avoidance, the energy generation has been multiplied by the CO2 eq emission factors of each country and state within the US. We considered the emission factor of just fossil fuel energy, as we considered that by increasing the generation of renewable energy, we are displacing these technologies, while other renewable technologies and nuclear plants will continue with its quota of generation.
EN22 - Total weight of waste by type and disposal method.
More than 95% of the hazardous waste produced by wind farms is related to oil and oil-related wastes such as oil filters or oil containers, used mainly for lubrication of the turbines. The consumption of this oil is based on certain pre-defined replacement time frequencies (between 2 and 5 years, based on the component, oil type and manufacturer). The company has been actively working to improve the recycling rate of its hazardous wastes, through authorized waste haulers, reaching a 95% recycling rate in 2013 from a 75% in 2011.
The following table summarizes the amount of hazardous waste generated per GWh in our facilities and the rate of recycling.
| 2013 | 2012 | (%) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Waste generated in wind farms 1 | |||
| Total waste (kg/GWh) | 45.7 | 47.9 | -4.2% |
| Total hazardous waste (kg/GWh) | 28.9 | 30.2 | -4.6% |
| % of hazardous waste recycled | 95.4% | 94.5% | 0.9% |
| 1 Brazil not included |
Annual fluctuations in hazardous waste generated are heavily dependent on the pluri-annual oil replacement programs above mentioned. Non-hazardous wastes generated by the company include metals, plastics, paper or domestic garbage which is recycled in their vast majority.
In 2013, we updated the non-hazardous waste reported criteria as previous values reported considered as nonhazardous waste the effluents resulting from human activity, either domestic wastewater or septic tank sludge. For the purposes of this report, we reviewed this criterion to stop considered the effluents collected in enclosed tanks as septic tank sludge considered. These effluents resulting of the human activity are sent to municipal treatment, either through direct connection to the sewage system or through enclosed tanks, and thus reported as wastewater. In any case, waste and effluents are monitored and managed.
Note 1: In Europe and Brazil, the method of disposal has been indicated by the waste hauler, while in the US the disposal method has been determined by the organizational defaults of the waste hauler.
Note 2: For the purposes of this report, all wastes have been classified as Hazardous or Non-hazardous according to European Waste Catalogue; however, in each country where EDPR has a geographic presence, each wind farm is required to adhere to national law by following company procedures for handling, labelling, and storage of wastes to ensure compliance. In cases, like in the United States, when our operations generate small quantities of substances which fall into additionally-regulated categories– such as used oils and universal wastes–we follow strict standards for handling and disposal of these waste types to ensure we remain compliant with all applicable laws.
EN23 - Total number and volume of significant spills.
Given our activity and our locations, oil spills and fires are the major environmental risks the company faces. The Environmental Management System is designed and implemented to prevent emergency situations from happening. But in case they happen, the system covers the identification and management of these, including the near-miss situations.
In 2013, we had 8 significant spills (above 0.16 m3 that reached the ground) with a total volume of 0.94 m3 of oil spilled, and 1 incipient fire with an area of 2 m2 of dry scrub burned. All cases were properly managed: oil spills were confined early and contaminated soil was collected and managed; the incipient fire occurred in an agricultural area with some dry bushes without significant natural value, being promptly suffocated by the staff on site using the fire extinguishers.
EDPR performs regular environmental drills to guarantee that our employees are familiar with the risks and have received the appropriate training to prevent and act, if necessary. In 2013, we implemented self-protection plans to prevent and act in case of forest fires.
EN28 - Monetary value of significant fines and total number of non-monetary sanctions for noncompliance with environmental laws and regulations.
During 2013, the company was fined 1,020 euros for an incidence of non-compliance with environmental laws and regulations.
EN29 - Significant environmental impacts of transporting products and other goods and materials used for the organization's operations, and transporting members of the workforce.
The main environmental impact was from employees traveling and commuting for business activities.
For additional information about our emissions registered due to employees' transportation, please refer to the EN17 Indicator.
EN30 - Total environmental protection expenditures and investments by type.
In 2013, 2.17 million euros were invested and 2.81 million euros were expended in environmental related activities

SOCIETY
Wind and solar energies create a positive impact on the local economies in terms of turnover, Gross Value Added (GVA), employment created and also in terms of energy security.
Land leases and taxes are a large contribution to the yearly budget for the municipalities where it is present. In 2013, EDPR contributed with 65.6 million Euros in taxes and payments to the administrations and we devoted 1.4 million Euros in social projects to support education and community related activities.
SUPPORTING EDUCATION
EDPR has developed its own original and comprehensive education support strategy, with different programs related to the renewable energy that have been implemented in areas where we are developing or we have operational projects.
During 2013, EDPR has continued with the third edition of its Green Education program, providing education grants to 90 students from Spain, Romania, Poland and Portugal based on their academic merits and financial situation. This program creates strong ties with the communities. In June 2013, Tarifa city council awarded EDPR a recognition and gratitude in this regards.
EDPR also promoted the education of students on the fundamentals of renewable energy. The Kid Wind initiative in the US, committed more than 60 thousand US dollars in scholarships to schools brings the science behind renewable energy into their classroom curricula.
Our education strategy is completed with our EDP University Challenge contest, where EDPR wants to promote excellence among university students and establish a collaboration framework between the company and the academic world. In this eighth edition 84 teams, with 245 students and 60 professors, coming from 41 different universities participated. The company devoted 68 thousand euros to this program, which can be followed through its own web site www.edpr-universitychallenge.es.
PARTICIPATING IN THE COMMUNITY
Becoming part of a community implies to host our stakeholders in our facilities, organizing visits and events, and participate and support our neighbouring communities' special occasions. During 2013, EDPR hosted visits from schools, such as the visit form MN's elementary school visited the Pioneer Prairie & Prairie Star Wind Farms, were different activities were prepared by EDPR volunteers, so we transmitted how the wind farm was managed and operated. This educational visit represented the first in a series of forthcoming educationally based partnerships with local schools in the US.
In addition, EDPR hosted a "Global Wind Day" as part of a worldwide initiative, in order to promote awareness for wind energy. Wind farms Pioneer Prairie and Prairie Star in North America and Rabosera in Europe held educational and recreational activities attended by students, general public, legislators and journalists.
EDPR also participated in a wide range of sponsorship and volunteering activities with the communities. As such, in 2013 we sponsored local fairs (Expofacic fair in Portugal), cultural events (Wiatrakalia music festival in Poland), sporting events (French National Track Cycling championships), and charitable events (Save the Children dinner in Romania). Some of these contributions also include social volunteering from our employees, like it was the volunteering at local food banks in Houston and Madrid.
BROADENING KNOWLEDGE
In between our two social strategies, the support to education and our involvement in the community, we have a range of activities aiming to share our knowledge. This refers to our participation and/or sponsorship of several conferences and workshops. We have contributed by sharing our knowledge in order to improve biodiversity protection, the adoption of socially responsible practices and the promotion of renewable energy.
FUNDACIÓN EDP
EDPR has joined Fundación EDP together with EDP and its subsidiary companies in Spain. Fundación EDP was created in November 2013 as an evolution of the former Fundación HC.
The Mission of Fundación EDP is to reinforce the commitment of EDP Group as regards to education, culture, social and environment in its geographical areas of activity.
Fundación EDP has planned for 2014 to directly develop activities in Spain for 2.7 million Euros, being EDPR an important contributor to these activities.
SO1 - Nature, scope, and effectiveness of any programs and practices that assess and manage the impacts of operations on communities, including entering, operating, and exiting.
Wind farm energy is a long lasting economic development driver for the municipalities where it is present. EDPR has different programs in place to assess and manage the impact on communities, and to maximize the shared value of our projects.
For example, grievance mechanisms during operation are also available to ensure that suggestions or complaints are properly recorded and addressed. This allows us not only to solve the complaints but to introduce improvements in our processes. A good example is the way we handle the complaints related to possible interferences with TV signal in France. We have set a procedure involving the town halls to facilitate and speed up the collection of these complaints as soon as they arise, a proper analysis and communication with the plaintiff and a fast satisfactory resolution.

As required by law and the Articles of Association, the Company's Board of Directors has set up four committees. These are the Executive Committee, the Audit and Control Committee, the Nominations and Remunerations Committee and the Related-Party Transactions Committee.
The governance model of EDPR is designed to ensure the transparent, meticulous separation of duties and the specialization of supervision. The most important bodies in the management and supervision model at EDPR are the following:
- General Shareholders' Meeting;
- Board of Directors; .
- . Executive Committee;
- Audit and Control Committee; .
- External auditor.
The purpose of the choice of this model by EDPR is to adapt, to the extent possible, the Company's corporate governance structure to the Portuguese legislation. The governance model adopted by EDPR therefore seeks, insofar as it is compatible with its personal law, to correspond to the so-called "Anglo-Saxon" model set forth in the Portuguese Commercial Companies Code, in which the management body is a Board of Directors, and the supervision and control duties are of the responsibility of an Audit and Control Committee.
The choice of this model is essentially an attempt to establish between two different systems of Company law, which can be considered applicable to this model.
The experience of institutional operating indicates that the governance model adopted by the shareholders is appropriate to the corporate organization of EDPR activity, especially because it affords transparency and a healthy balance between the management functions of the Executive Committee, the supervisory functions of the Audit and Control Committee and oversight by different Board of Directors special committees.
The institutional and functional relationship between the Executive Committee, the Audit and Control Committee and the other non-executive members of the Board of Directors has been of internal harmony conductive to the development of the Company's business.
In order to ensure a better understanding of EDPR corporate governance by its shareholders, the Company posts its updated Articles of Association as well as its Committees Regulations at www.edprenovaveis.com
EDPR is a Spanish Company listed in a regulated stock exchange in Portugal. EDP Renováveis' corporate organization is subject to its personal law and to the extent applicable, to the recommendations contained in the Portuguese Corporate Governance Code, ("Código de Governo das Sociedades") approved by the Comissão do Mercado de Valores Mobiliários (CMM) (Portuguese Securities Market Commission) in July 2013. This governance code is available to the public at CMVM website (www.cmvm.pt).
The organization and functioning of EDPR corporate governance model is designed to achieve the highest standards of corporate governance, business conduct and ethics referenced on the best national and international practices in corporate governance.

C) POWERS AND DUTIES
- Procedures for hiring additional services to the External Auditor
In EDPR there is a policy of pre-approval by the Audit and Control Committee for the External Auditor and any related entity for non-audit services, according to Recommendation IV.2 of the Portuguese Corporate Governance Code. This policy was strictly followed during 2013.
The services, other than auditing services, provided to the Company by the External Auditor and entities in a holding relationship with or incorporated in the same network as the External Auditor were previously approved by the Audit and Control Committee according to Article 8, nº 2, b) of its Regulations and upon review of each specific service, which considered the following aspects: (i) such services having no effect on the independence
of the External Auditor and any safequards used; and (ii) the position of the External Auditor in the provision of such services, notably the External Auditor's experience and knowledge of the Company.
Furthermore, although hiring services other than auditing services to the External Auditor is admissible, it is envisaged as an exception. In 2013 such services reached only around 5% of the total amount of services provided to the Company.
38. Other duties of the Audit and Control Committee
Apart from the competences expressly delegated on the Audit and Control Committee according to Article 8 of its Regulations and in order to safeguard the independence of the External Auditor, the following powers of the Audit Committee were exercised during the 2013 financial year and should be highlighted:
- · Nominate and hire the External Auditors and responsibility their remuneration as well as pre-approval of any services to be hired from the External Auditors;
- · Direct and exclusive supervision by the Audit Committee;
- Assessment of the qualifications, independence, and performance of the External Auditors, and obtaining, yearly and directly from the External Auditors, written information on all relations existing between the Company and the Auditors or associated persons, including all services rendered and all services in progress; in fact, the Audit Committee, in order to evaluate independence, obtained from the External Auditors information on their independence in light of article 62B of Decree-Law no. 224/2008 of 20 November 2008, which amends the articles of association of the Chartered Accountant Professional Association:
- · Review of the transparency report, signed by the Auditor and disclosed at its website. This report covers the matters provided for under article 62A of Decree-Law no. 224/2008, including those regarding the quality control internal system of the audit firm and the quality control procedures carried out by the competent authorities ;
- · Definition of the Company's hiring policy concerning persons who have worked or currently work with the External Auditors:
- · Review, with the External Auditors, of the scope, planning, and resources to be used in their services;
- · Responsibility for the settlement of any differences between the Executive Committee and the External Auditors concerning financial information.
- · Contracts signed between EDPR and its Qualified Shareholders that were analyzed by the Audit and Control Committee. This information is included on the annual report of the Audit and Control Committee regarding those cases that needed a previous opinion from the committee.
- The Audit and Control Committee participated on the Tender to select the External Auditor for EDP's Group for a three year term (2014-2016). The Chairperson of the Audit and Control Committee was part of the Evaluation Commission that selected the final proposal. The Audit and Control Committee will present on the next Board of Directors meeting the proposal for the appointment of the External Auditor to be submitted to approval at the next General Shareholders' Meeting according to Article 289, nº 6, b) of the Company's Articles of Association.
Within this context, it should be particularly stressed that External Auditor independence was safeguarded by the implementation of the Company's policy on pre-approval of the services to be hired to External Auditors (or any entity in a holding relationship with or incorporating the External Auditors), which results from the application of the rules issued by SEC on this matter. According to such policy, the Audit Committee makes an overall pre-approval of the services proposal made by the External Auditors and a specific pre-approval of other services that will eventually be provided by the External Auditors, particularly services and services other than "audit and audit related" services.
IV. STATUTORY AUDITOR
39-41. According to EDPR's governance model, the information requested in Chapter IV. of CMVM Regulation no. 4/2013 does not apply to EDPR.
V. EXTERNAL AUDITOR
42. External Auditor identification
EDPR's External Auditor is, since the year 2007, KPMG Auditores S.L., a Spanish Company, whose partner in charge of EDPR's accounts auditing is Mrs. Ana Fernández Poderós. KPMG Auditores S.L. is registered at the Spanish Official Register of Auditors under S0702 and with Tax Identification Number B-78510153.
43. Number of years of the External Auditor
KMG Auditores S.L. and the partner in charge of EDPR's accounts auditing have carried these duties for the last seven consecutive years.
44. Rotation Policy
According to CMVM's Recommendation IV.3 of its 2013 Corporate Governance Code, the companies shall support auditor rotation after two or three terms whether four or three years, respectively. According to the Spanish law, the partner responsible for the auditing and signing of the accounts has a limited term of office of seven
consecutive years. As of December 31*, 2013, KPMG Auditores S.L. has ended its seventh (™) consecutive year as EDPR's External Auditor, there has been no need to rotate yet the auditor, according to Recommendation IV.3 of the Portuguese Corporate Governance Code.
45. External Auditor Evaluation
The Audit and Control Committee is responsible for the evaluation of the External Auditor according to the competences granted by its Regulation of the Audit and Control Committee is made once a year. Nevertheless, the Audit and Control Committee establishes a permanent contact throughout the year with the external auditor to assure the conditions, including the independence, adequate to the services provided by them, acting as the Company speaker for these subjects related to the auditing process, and receiving and maintaining information on any other questions regarding accounting subjects. In 2013, according to the Audit and Control Committee's competences and in line with Recommendations II.2.2, it was the first and direct recipient and the corporate body in charge of the permanent contact with the external auditor on matters that may pose a risk to their independence and any other matters related to the auditing of accounts. It also receives and stores information on any other matters provided for in legislation on audits and in auditing standards in effect at any time.
- Non-audit services carried out by the External Auditor
According to the rules described on topic 29 of this Report, In EDPR there is a policy of pre-approval by the Audit and Control Committee for the selection non-audit services according to Article 8, nº 2, g) of the Audit and Control Committee Requlations.
Below are the details of non-audit services provided during 2013 by the External Auditor for EDPR's business units:
- Tax and accounting due diligence services as well as tax structuring.
- · Advising and structuring services in relation to the transfer to China Three Gorges of certain minority participation in determined assets in EDPR.
- · KPMG's assistance in the process of IRS tax examination.
- · KPMG's assistance in the process of IRS tax examination for the 2009 tax year.
- · Tax services to prepare six technical memos on PTC qualification for six wind farms.
- · Non-accounting consultancy related to the process of financial restructuring for the creation of EDPR Servicios Financieros.
- · Technical support on the evaluation of potential accounting and tax impact due to the company restructuring of EDP Renováveis Portugal, SA
The reasons for the engagement of the above mentioned services are mainly for i) a better knowledge of the business group and the fiscal questions related to its activity assuring an appropriate knowledge of the relevant information which favors a better flexibility and efficiency to these questions, and ii) the engagement of these services didn't put in risk the independence of the External Auditor considering the measures applied to safeguard the independence of the External Auditor.

II. REPORTING OF IRREGULARITIES
- IRREGULARITIES COMMUNICATION CHANNELS
Whistleblowinq
EDPR has always carried out its activity by consistently implementing measures to ensure the good governance of its companies, including the prevention of incorrect practices, particularly in the areas of accounting and finance.
EDPR provides the Group workers with a channel enabling them to report directly and confidentially to the Audit 18 and Control Committee any practice presumed illicit or any alleged accounting and/or financial irregularity in their Company, in compliance with the provisions of CMVM Regulation no. 4/2013.
With this channel for reporting irregular accounting and financial practices, EDPR aims:
- Guaranteeing conditions that allow workers to freely report any concerns they may have in these areas to the Audit and Control Committee;
- · Facilitating the early detection of irregular situations which, if practised, might cause serious damage to the EDPR Group, its workers, customers, and shareholders.
Contact with the Company's Audit and Control Committee is only possible by email and post, and access to information received is restricted.
Any complaint addressed to the Audit and Control Committee will be kept strictly confidential and the whistleblower will remain anonymous, provided that this does not prevent the investigation of the will be assured that the Company will not take any retaliatory or disciplinary action as a result of exercising his/her right to blow the whistle on irregularities, provide information, or assist in an investigation.
The Secretary of the Audit and Control Committee receives all the communications and presents a quarterly report to the members of the Committee.
In 2013 there were no communications regarding any irregularity with material impact at EDPR.
Ethics Channel and Code of Ethics
EDPR has a Code of Ethics published on its intranet, which includes principles like transparency, honesty, integrity, non-discrimination, equal opportunity, and sustainability.
The Code of Ethics has been widely circulated among employees of the Group through internal communications mechanisms, individual shipments, delivery to new employees, and intranet publishing.
There is a strong commitment by the Company in relation to the dissemination and promotion of compliance with the Code available to all employees through training, questionnaires, and open discussions of the findings
There is also an Ethics Channel and Ethics Regulation to articulate any specific claims of the Code of Ethics and to resolve doubts on all matters relating to the Code of Ethics.
Communications regarding possible breaches of the Code of Ethics are sent to the Ethics Ombudsman, which performs a first analysis, forwarding its conclusion to the Ethics Committee of EDPR, which receives, records, processes, and reports to the Board of Directors.
In 2013 there were no communications to the Ethics Ombudsmen regarding any irregularity at EDPR.
III. INTERNAL CONTROL AND RISK MANAGEMENT
- Internal Audit
EDPR has Internal Audit Department composed by five people. The function of EDPR's Internal Audit is to carry out an objective and independent assessment of the Group's activities and of its internal control situation, in order to make recommendations to improve the internal control mechanisms over systems and management processes in accordance with the Group's objectives.
Additionally, EDPR has a Responsibilities Model and a SCIRF Manual (Internal Control System over Financial Reporting), in which individuals, governing bodies and commissions responsible for implementing and managing the internal control system are indicated.
The Responsibilities Model includes the functions and main activities in the management and maintenance of the system at all levels of the organization including monitoring activities related to the annual cycle, the implementation of controls and documentation of evidence and supervision activities.
The SCIRF Manual incorporates the qeneral principles of the Internal Control System over Financial Reporting are established, as well as the methodology used, the procedures for ensuring the effectiveness of internal control and design of models, documentation, evaluation and reporting.
In line with the general principles of the model adopted by EDPR for the management of the SCIRF, the COSO framework (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission), the responsibility for overseeing the Internal Control System lies in the Board of Directors and the Audit and Control Committee. The CEO is accountable before the Board, must ensure the proper functioning and effectiveness of the SCIRF, promoting its design, implementation and maintenance. The Executive Committee must support the CEO in this task, guiding the development of the Entity Level Controls of the Company and the controls in their areas of responsibility, relying when necessary on other levels of the organization. Also, the Senior Managers are responsible for evaluating any deficiencies and implementing appropriate improvement opportunities.
To fulfill these responsibilities, EDPR's Internal Audit offers support and advice to the management and development of the SCIRF.
Additionally, in 2013 the EDPR Group decided to have its SCIRF audited by the external auditor. As a result of its evaluation, the external auditor issued a report with a favorable opinion on SCIRF of the EDPR Group, according to ISAE 3000 (International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000).
- Organizational structure of Internal Audit

- Risk Management
EDPR's Risk Management is as an integrating element of all organizational processes and decisions and not a stand-alone activity separated from the main activities of the Company. It includes from strategic planning to evaluation of new investments and contracts.
Risk Management at EDPR is supported by three distinct organizational functions, each one with a different role: Strategy (Risk Profiler), Management (Risk Manager) and Controlling (Risk Controller).
Market, credit and operational 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.
During 2013, EDPR defined or reviewed four new Global Risk Policies: Energy Price Hedging Policy, Counterparty Credit Risk Policy, Country Risk Policy. These policies are already implemented or in the process to be implemented next year.
53. Risk Areas and Risk Factors
Risk Management at EDPR is focused on covering all market, credit and operational risks of the Company. In order to have a holistic view of risks, they were grouped in Risk Areas converting all the value chain of EDPR's business. The following list summarizes Risk Areas defined within EDPR:
- Countries & regulations Changes in regulations may impact EDPR's business in a given country
- Revenues Revenues received by EDPR's projects may diverge from what is expected .
- · Financing EDPR may not be able to raise enough cash to finance its planned Capex or to fulfill its financial obligations due to changes in exchange rates or bankruptcy of counterparties;
- Wind turbine contracts Changes in turbine prices may impact profitability; Contracts should . take into account the pipeline development risk
- Pipeline development EDPR may deliver an installed capacity different from its targets or suffer delays and/or anticipations in its installation
- Operations Projects may deliver a volume different from expected
Within each Risk Area, risks are classified in Risk Groups and finally into Risk Factors are the source of the risk and the purpose of Risk Management at EDPR is to measure, control and eventually mitigate all risk factors that affect the Company.
From Risk Areas to Risk Factors

1. Countries and regulations
I.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. During 2013, EDPR has defined a new 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 parties. 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 for the business of foreign firms 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.
Management of Country Risk
Before approving a new project in a new geography, EDPR analyzes 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.
I.II. Regulatory Risk
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.
Although the European Union and various US federal and state bodies have regularly reaffirmed their desire to continue strengthening support for renewable energy sources, remuneration schemes have become less competitive in some countries due to the financial crisis. Thus, it cannot be guaranteed that current support will be maintained in all EDPR's geographies or that the electricity produced by future renewable energy projects will benefit from purchase obligations, tax incentives or other support measures. Requlation promoting green energy has been revised or is under revision in some countries where EDPR is present.
In particular, during 2013 there were requlatory changes in Spain that reduced incentives for existing and future projects. In Romania, the number of green certificates for new wind projects was reduced.
In the US, renewable generation was incentivized through Production Tax Credits (PTC) at a Federal level till december 2013 and is still incentivized through State RPS Programs that allow receiving RECs (Renewable Energy Credit) for each MWh of renewable generation. As a general rule, EDPR focuses on developing in states which have an RPS program in place and are undersupplied of renewable generation. As aforementioned, in December 2013, PTC scheme for wind expired and all projects that will be built in the future will not receive PTC, except for those that qualified during 2013. EDPR was able to secure around 1GW of PPA projects with PTC qualification that will be mainly built during 2014 and 2015.
Management of Regulatory Risk
EDPR is managing its exposure to regulatory risks through diversification (being present in several countries) and by being an active member in several wind associations. 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.
Additionally, a high level analysis is performed for each country considering the meaningfulness of renewable generation from a strategic and financial standpoint. Among others, EDPR analyzes the following for each country: existing and future generation mix, electricity prices, remuneration incentives for renewables, renewable generation target and energy autonomy.
Finally, Regulatory Risk is also considered ex-ante at the investment, through sensitivity analyses that are performed to evaluate its impact in project profitability.
2. Revenues
I.III. Electricity 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 offtakers to eliminate electricity price risk.
Despite EDPR's strategy of eliminating electricity price risk, EDPR still has some wind farms that have merchant exposure.
In Europe, EDPR operates in countries where the selling price is definetariff (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 investment activity in the UK, where current incentive system is based on green certificates but will change to a feed in tariff.
In countries with a pre-defined regulated premium or a green certificate scheme, EDPR is exposed to electricity price fluctuations. Considering current PPAs in place, EDPR is exposed to electricity price risk in Romania, in Poland and partially in Spain.
The US market does not provide a regulated framework system for the electricity price. However, most of EDPR's capacity in the US has predefined prices determined by long-term contracts with local utilities in line with the Company's policy of avoiding electricity price risk. Despite existing long term contracts, some EDPR's wind farms in the US do not have PPA and are selling merchant with exposure to electricity price risk. Some others with existing PPAs do not sell their energy where it is produced are exposed to basis risk.
In Ontario (Canada), the selling price is defined by a long term feed-in-tariff, thus, there is no electricity price exposure.
In Brazilian operations, the selling price is defined through a public auction which is later translated into a longterm contract. Electricity price exposure is almost null, with some exposure for the production above or below the contracted production.
Management of risks related to exposure to market electricity prices
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 and total merchant exposure).
EDPR seeks to eliminate electricity price risk through PPAs with private offtakers. In 2013, EDPR signed PPAs in Europe for 120 MW and in the US for more than 1 GW.
In those geographies with remaining merchant exposure, EDPR uses various financial and commodity hedging instruments in order to minimize the exposure to fluctuating electricity prices. In some cases, due to the lack of liquidity of financial derivatives, it may not be possible to successfully hedge all merchant exposure.
In 2013, EDPR financially hedged part of its generation in Poland and Romania. In Spain, hedges in place at the beginning of 2013 were unwound when new regulation eliminated the merchant exposure that included the previous legal framework (RD661).
As mentioned above, some US wind farms have exposure to electricity price risk (difference in electricity price between locations). EDPR hedges electricity price and basis exposures through financial swaps or FTR buys (Financial Transmission Rights).
I.IV. Green Certificate or REC price risk
In Europe, EDPR operates in countries where, on top of the electricity price, EDPR receives a green certificate whose price is achieved on a regulated market (Poland and Romania).
In these European countries with a green certificate scheme, EDPR is exposed to fluctuation on the price of green certificates.
In the US, renewable generation is incentivized through State RPS Programs that allow receiving RECs (Renewable Energy Credit) for each MWh of renewable generation. REC prices are very volatile and depend on the supply/demand equilibrium in the market.
Management of risks related to exposure to Green Certificates or REC prices
EDPR intends to eliminate Green Certificates and REC price risk with the signing of bundled PPAs, which include the sale of the electricity and the Green Certificate or REC. In some cases, the offtaker may be interested in contracting only the Green Certificate or the REC, thus a GCPA (Green Certificate Purchase Agreement) or a RECPA (REC Purchase Agrement) is signed.
The market of GCPA or RECPA is very illiquid and no financial derivatives exist for Green Certificates nor RECs. Therefore, all exposure to Green Certificates or REC prices cannot be eliminated,
I.V. Energy Production Risk
The amount of electricity generated by EDPR's wind farms is dependent on weather conditions, which vary across locations, from season to season and from year. Variation on the amount of electricity that is generated affects EDPR's operating results and efficiency.
Wind at different locations may be independent from each other or may be correlated (positively or negatively). 22 A negative correlation implies a natural hedge of production fluctuations of the portfolio.
Other risk factors that affect production are turbine availability and curtailment, which are considered as operation risks and are explained in the corresponding section.
Management of risks related to volatility of energy production
EDPR mitigates wind resource volatility and seasonality by having a strong knowledge in the design of its wind farms and through geographical diversification of its asset base in different countries and regions. EDPR has analyzed correlation between different wind farms in its portfolio and this geographical diversification enables EDPR to partially offset wind variations in each area and to keep the total energy generation relatively steady. Currently, EDPR is present in 12 countries: Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK (no generation), Italy, US, Canada, Brazil and South Africa.
EDPR has analyzed in detail the potential use of financial products to hedge wind risk, and this product might be used to mitigate risk in specific cases.
3. Financing
I.VI. Risks related to financial market exposure
EDPR finances its wind farms through project finance or corporate debt. In both cases, a variable interest rate would imply fluctuations in interest payments.
On the other hand, EDPR's presence in several countries implies revenues denominated in different currencies. Consequently, exchange rate fluctuations may have a material adverse effect on financial results.
Management of financial risks
The evolution of the financial markets is analyzed on an on-going basis in accordance to EDP Group's risk management policy approved by the EDPR`s Executive Committee.
Taking into account risk management policy and approved exposure limits, the Finance team identifies, evaluates, and submits the financial strategy appropriate to each project/location for the Executive Committee's approval. Global Risk Area supports the Finance team in exchange rate hedging decisions.
I.VI.2. 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.
Management of interest rate risk
The purpose of the 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 rate to fixed rate.
EDPR has a portfolio of interest-rate derivatives with maturities of up to 13 years. Sensitivity analyses of the fair value of financial instruments to interest-rate fluctuations are periodically performed.
I.VI.3 Exchange rate risk
EDPR has international operations and is exposed to the exchange-rate risk resulting from investments in foreign subsidiaries. Currently, the main currency exposure is to U.S. dollar/euro exchange rate that results from EDPR's operations in the US. With the increasing capacity in non-euro geographies, EDPR is increasing its exposure to currencies other than the euro in Poland, Romania, Brazil, United Kingdom and Canada.
Management of exchange rate risk
EDPR's general foreign exchange policy is the natural hedging in order to match currency cash flows, minimizing the impact of fluctuations of exchange rates in the Income Statement and preserving value. The essence of this approach is to create financial foreign currency outflows to match equivalent foreign currency inflows.
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 interest rate swaps. EDPR also contracts foreign exchange forwards to hedge the risk in specific transactions (procurement, etc.)
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.
I.VI.4. Counterparty Credit 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. If the transactions with the counterparty has a positive economic value at the time of default, an economic loss would occur.
During 2013, EDPR introduced a new Global Counterparty Credit Risk Policy, which has already been implemented across the Company. Basel Standards were used as a reference for EDPR'S approach to counterparty credit risk.
From a credit risk perspective, EDPR classifies its counterparties in three different groups:
- Energy off-takers: Counterparties of EDPR in PPAs (energy and green certificates purchase agreements) and energy hedges
- · Suppliers: Developers, partners, WTG suppliers and O&M suppliers
- · Financial institutions: Counterparties of EDPR in foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swaps and bank deposits
Management of counterparty credit risk
To control credit risk at EDPR, thresholds of Expected Loss are established as defined in Basel Standards. Expected Loss and Unexpected Loss from counterparty credit exposure are re-evaluated monthly. If threshold is surpassed by any counterparty or by the Company as a whole, mitigation measures are implemented in order to remain within the pre-established limit.
I.VI.5. Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk of EDPR not meeting its financial obligations.
Management of liquidity risk
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 o EDPR's reputation.
EDPR uses a financial model to forecast liquidity risk in the medium and long term to meet strategic targets previously set (EBITDA, debt ratio and others).
4. Wind turbine contracts
The wind turbine generator (WTG) is a key element in the development of EDPR's wind-related energy projects, as the shortfall or an unexpected sharp increase in WTG prices can dramatically affect development of new projects and their profitability.
WTG represents on average 70 to 80% of an onshore wind farm capital expenditure
I.VI.7. Wind Turbine Supply Risk
The demand for new wind farms may offset the offer of turbines by WTG manufacturers. Currently, the local component requirement in some geographies (Ex: Brazil) creates this shortfall situation.
Management of wind turbine supply risk
EDPR faces limited risk to the availability and price increase of WTG´s due to the framework agreements with major global wind turbines suppliers. The Company uses a large mix of turbines suppliers in order to diversify the wind turbine supply risk.
For geographies with specific requirements of local component, EDPR does not engage in a project before securing the supply of wind turbines.
Wind Turbine Price Risk
Price of wind turbines is affected, not only by market fluctuations of the materials used in the turbines, but also bv the demand.
Management of wind turbine price risk
For every new project, EDPR secures the demand risk that might increase price of the turbines.
With regards to market risk of the materials used to manufacture wind turbines, an escalation formula is negotiated with wind turbine manufacturers. EDPR might hedge some of the market exposure of this escalation formula if exposure is above a pre-established limit and the market is liquid.
5. Pipeline development
I.VII.1. Permitting Risk
Wind farms are subject to strict requlations at different authority levels (international, national, state, regional and local) relating to the development, construction and operation of power plants. Among other things, these laws regulate landscape and environmental aspects, building licenses, land use and land securing and access to the grid issues.
While level of exigency might be different depending on the geographies, EDPR acknowledges a trend for legislations to align towards concentrating the most restrictive rules and development risks on the consenting (environmental and urban permissions) and interconnection of the wind farm to the national grid).
ਨ ਦੀ In this context, EDPR's experience gathered in different countries is useful to anticipate and deal with similar situations in other countries.
Management of permitting risk
During the development and design phase. EDPR focuses on the optimization of its projects. By mastering the variables, such as choice of locations, lay-out, etc, the objective is to make our projects more resilient to permitting risks.
Additionally, EDPR mitigates execution risk by generating optionality, with development activities in 11 different countries (Spain, Portugal, France, Belgium, Poland, Romania, UK, Italy, US, Canada and Brazil) and a portfolio of projects in several stages of maturity. EDPR has a large pipeline of projects that provide a "buffer" to overome potential delays in the development of prioritized projects, ensuring growth targets and being able to compensate permitting delays in some geographies.
6. Operations
I.VII.3. Wind Turbine Performance Risk
Wind farm output depends upon the operating availability of the turbines and the operating performance of the equipment, mainly the components of wind turbines and transformers.
Management of wind turbine performance risk
EDPR mitigates this risk by using a mix of turbine suppliers which minimizes technological risk, avoiding exposure to a unique manufacturer.
EDPR also engages wind turbine suppliers through medium-term full-scope maintenance agreements to ensure alignment in minimizing technology risk. Finally, EDPR has created an O&M program with adequate preventive and scheduled maintenance program.

Audit report on the system of internal control over financial reporting
To the Board of Directors EDP Renováveis, S.A.
Further to your request and to our engagement letter dated 20 June 2013, we have audited the system of internal control over financial reporting of EDP Renováveis, S.A. (the Company) and subsidiaries (the Group) at 31 December 2013, based on the criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in relation with global business and control procedures, and with the COBIT Framework for IT Governance and Control. The Board of Directors of the Company and senior Group management are responsible for adopting the measures required to reasonably guarantee the implementation, maintenance and supervision of an adequate system of internal control over financial reporting, assess its efficiency and make improvements to the system, as set forth in the report drawn up by Group management on the internal control over financial reporting system enclosed. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control over financial reporting system based on our audit.
An organisation's system of internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance that its annual financial reporting complies with the applicable financial reporting framework. It includes policies and procedures that are aimed at: (i) verifying the existence and maintenance of records that present fairly and in reasonable detail the Group's transactions and assets; (ii) providing reasonable assurance that transactions are adequately recorded so as to allow the Group to draw up consolidated annual accounts in accordance with the applicable financial reporting framework; and (iii) providing reasonable assurance regarding the timely prevention or detection of asset additions or disposals or unauthorised use of Group assets that might have a material effect on the consolidated annual accounts. Due to the limitations inherent in any form of internal control system, irrespective of the quality of the design and operation of the internal control system adopted for annual financial reporting, this system can only provide reasonable but not absolute assurance as to the objectives sought.
We have performed our audit in accordance with ISAE 3000 (International Standard on Assurance Engagements 3000). This standard requires that we plan and perform our audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Group system of internal control over financial reporting is effective in all material aspects. Our audit included our gaining an understanding of the Group's internal control over the financial reporting system, verifying and evaluating, on a selective test basis, the design and operating efficiency of the system, and performing other procedures that we considered necessary under the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Due to the limitations inherent in any form of internal control system, there is always the possibility that internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect the errors or irregularities that might arise, whether due to errors in judgement, human error, fraud or malpractice. Extrapolating the effectiveness assessment to future years entails a risk that controls may cease to be adequate due to changing conditions or erosion in the levels of compliance with policies and procedures.
In our opinion, the Group's system of internal control for financial reporting at 31 December 2013 is effective in all material aspects, according to the criteria established in the Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in relation with global business and control procedures and the COBIT Framework for IT Governance and Control.
On 26 February 2014, in accordance with prevailing accounting legislation in Spain, we issued our audit report on the consolidated annual accounts of the Group for 2013, expressing an unqualified opinion thereon.
This report has been issued in accordance with your request. We accept no liability to any third parties other than the intended recipients of this report.

Report from Management concerning responsibility for
the System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
The board of directors and management are responsible for establishing and maintaining an adequate System of Internal Control over Financial Reporting (SCIRF).
The SCIRF of EDP Renováveis Group is a set of processes designed to provide reasonable assurance as to the reliability of the financial information and the preparation of the consolidated annual accounts for external purposes, in accordance with the applicable financial information reporting framework.
Due to the limitations inherent to all internal control systems, it is possible that the system of internal control over financial reporting does not prevent or detect all errors that could occur and may only provide reasonable assurance with respect to the presentation and preparation of the consolidated annual accounts. Furthermore, extrapolating the effectiveness assessment to future years entails a risk that controls may cease to be adequate due to changing conditions or erosion in the level of compliance with policies and procedures.
Management has assessed the effectiveness of the SCIRF at 31 December 2013 based on the criteria established in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
As a result of this assessment, and based on the aforementioned criteria, management concludes that at 31 December 2013 EDP Renováveis Group had an effective system of internal control over financial reporting.
The SCIRF of EDP Renováyeis Group at 31 December 2013 has been audited by the independent auditors KPMG Auditores, S.L., as indicated in their report included in the Annual Corporate Governance Report.
