D&C margins reduces consolidated PP&E

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

Leads to:

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