Notes to the Unaudited Interim Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements |
June 30, 2024 and 2023 |
(in thousands of U.S. dollars, except as noted and per share amounts) |
Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. ("AQN" or the "Company") is an incorporated entity under the Canada Business Corporations Act. AQN's operations are organized across two primary business units consisting of the Regulated Services Group and the Renewable Energy Group. The Regulated Services Group primarily owns and operates a portfolio of regulated electric, water distribution and wastewater collection, and natural gas utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile; the Renewable Energy Group primarily owns and operates, or has investments in, a diversified portfolio of non-regulated renewable and thermal energy generation assets.
1.Significant accounting policies
(a)Basis of preparation
The accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements and notes have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("U.S. GAAP") for interim financial information and follow disclosure required under Regulation S-X provided by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements do not include all information and notes required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements and should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements of AQN as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.
In the opinion of management, the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments that are of a recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the results of interim operations.
The significant accounting policies applied to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements of AQN are consistent with those disclosed in the consolidated financial statements of AQN as of and for the year ended December 31, 2023.
(b)Seasonality
AQN's operating results are subject to seasonal fluctuations that could materially impact quarter-to-quarter operating results and, thus, one quarter’s operating results are not necessarily indicative of a subsequent quarter's operating results. Where decoupling mechanisms exist, total volumetric revenue is prescribed by the applicable regulatory authority and is not affected by usage. AQN’s electrical distribution utilities can experience higher or lower demand in the summer or winter depending on the specific regional weather and industry characteristics. AQN’s water and wastewater utility assets’ revenues fluctuate depending on the demand for water, which is normally higher during the drier and hotter months of the summer. During the winter period, natural gas distribution utilities generally experience higher demand than during the summer period. AQN’s hydroelectric energy assets are primarily "run-of-river" and, as such, fluctuate with the natural water flows. During the winter and summer periods, flows are generally slower, while during the spring and fall periods flows are heavier. For AQN's wind energy assets, wind resources are typically stronger in spring, fall and winter, and weaker in summer. AQN's solar energy assets generally experience greater insolation in summer, weaker in winter.
(c)Foreign currency translation
AQN’s reporting currency is the U.S. dollar. Within these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements, the Company denotes any amounts denominated in Canadian dollars with "C$", in Chilean pesos with "CLP" and in Chilean Unidad de Fomento with "CLF" immediately prior to the stated amount.

(a)Recently adopted accounting pronouncements
There were no accounting pronouncements adopted in the current period.
(b)Recently issued accounting guidance not yet adopted
There were no recently issued accounting guidance not yet adopted in the current period.
3.Business acquisitions and dispositions
(a) Sale of the Renewable Energy Business
Subsequent to the quarter-end, on August 9, 2024, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its renewable energy business (excluding hydro) to a wholly-owned subsidiary of LS Power for total cash consideration of up to $2,500,000 (subject to certain closing adjustments), excluding debt, consisting of $2,280,000 in cash at closing and up to $220,000 in cash pursuant to an earn out agreement relating to certain wind assets (the “Earn Out”).
The sale is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the approval of the U.S. Federal Energy Regulatory Commission and approval under applicable competition laws. The Company expects the transaction to close in the fourth quarter of 2024 or the first quarter of 2025 and to receive cash proceeds of approximately approximately $1,600,000 (excluding the Earn Out) after repaying construction financing, and net of taxes, transaction fees and other closing adjustments.
The Company concluded the consolidated assets within the renewable energy business being sold will meet the accounting requirements to be presented as “Held for Sale” in the third quarter of 2024 based on the receipt of final commercial terms, Board approval to consummate a sale transaction, and the signing of the sale agreement all occurring within the third quarter. The Company anticipates recording a future estimated pretax loss of approximately $1,000,000. However, the ultimate loss recorded is dependent on, among other things, the timing and amount of future capital expenditures, including acquisition of construction projects and associated tax equity financing, which will impact the carrying value of these assets.
(b) Acquisition of Shady Oaks II Wind Facility
On June 26, 2024, Algonquin Power Fund (America), LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, acquired the remaining 50% ownership in the Shady Oaks II Wind Facility for consideration of $59,624. The transaction has been accounted for as an asset acquisition.

4.Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024 include unbilled revenue of $83,381 (December 31, 2023 - $107,001) from the Company’s regulated utilities. Accounts receivable as of June 30, 2024 are presented net of allowance for expected credit losses of $34,077 (December 31, 2023 - $30,244).
5.Regulatory matters
The operating companies within the Regulated Services Group are subject to regulation by the respective regulators of the jurisdictions in which they operate. The respective regulators have jurisdiction with respect to rate, service, accounting policies, issuance of securities, acquisitions and other matters. Except for Suralis, these utilities operate under cost-of-service regulation as administered by these authorities. The Company’s regulated utility operating companies are accounted for under the principles of Regulated Operations (“ASC 980”). Under ASC 980, regulatory assets and liabilities that would not be recorded under U.S. GAAP for non-regulated entities are recorded to the extent that they represent incurred charges or credits that are probable of being recovered from or refunded to customers through the rate setting process.
At any given time, the Company can have several regulatory proceedings underway. The financial effects of these proceedings are reflected in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements based on regulatory approval obtained to the extent that there is a financial impact during the applicable reporting period. The following regulatory proceedings were recently completed:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Utility | State, Province or Country | Regulatory Proceeding Type | Details | | | |
BELCO | Bermuda | General Rate Case ("GRC") | On September 30, 2021, filed its revenue allowance application in which it requested a $34,800 increase for 2022 and a $6,100 increase for 2023. On March 18, 2022, the Regulatory Authority ("RA") approved an annual increase of $22,800, for a revenue allowance of $224,100 for 2022 and $226,200 for 2023. The RA authorized a 7.16% rate of return, comprised of a 62% equity and an 8.92% return on equity ("ROE"). In April 2022, BELCO filed an appeal in the Supreme Court of Bermuda challenging the decisions made by the RA through the recent Retail Tariff Review. On February 23, 2024, the Bermuda Supreme Court issued an order denying the BELCO appeal. | | | |
BELCO | Bermuda | GRC | On October 17, 2023, filed its revenue allowance application in which it requested a $59,100 increase for 2024 and 2025 based on a weighted average cost of capital of 10.13%. On May 30, 2024, the RA issued a final order authorizing a revenue increase of $33,600 in 2024 and 2025 based on a weighted average cost of capital of 7.79%. New base rates became effective August 1, 2024. | | | |
Empire Electric | Arkansas | GRC | On February 14, 2023, filed an application seeking an increase in revenues of $7,300 based on an ROE of 10.25% and an equity ratio of 56% to be phased in over three years.

As recovery of regulatory assets is subject to regulatory approval, if there were any changes in regulatory positions that indicate recovery is not probable, the related cost would be charged to earnings in the period of such determination. The Company generally does not earn a return on the regulatory balances except for carrying charges on fuel and commodity cost adjustments, rate adjustment mechanism, clean energy and other customer programs, and rate review costs of some jurisdictions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recognized $6,030 and $12,729, respectively (2023 - $8,850 and $17,901, respectively) of carrying charges on regulatory balances on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations under other income, which was computed using only the debt component of the allowed returned.

5.Regulatory matters (continued)
(a)Securitized costs, net
On January 30, 2024, The Empire District Electric Company securitized, through the issuance of bonds (see note 7(e)), $301,463 of qualified extraordinary costs associated with the February 2021 extreme winter storm conditions experienced in Texas and parts of the central U.S. (the “Midwest Extreme Weather Event”) and energy transition costs related to the retirement of the Asbury generating plant. The securitized costs will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the life of the bonds. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, $5,970 and $8,046, respectively were recorded as amortization expense in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations under depreciation and amortization. The bonds will be paid through Securitized Utility Tariff Charges, which are designed to recover the full scheduled principal amount of the bonds along with any associated interest and financing costs.
(b) Wildfire mitigation and vegetation management
On July 12, 2019, California Assembly Bill 1054 (“AB 1054”) was enacted. Pursuant to AB 1054, an electrical corporation may petition the California Public Utilities Commission (“CPUC”) for recovery of costs and expenses arising from a covered wildfire and the CPUC may approve recovery of such costs and expenses that are just and reasonable. Liberty CalPeco tracks its wildfire expense (such as payments to satisfy wildfire claims, including any deductibles, co-insurance and other insurance expense paid, outside legal expense incurred in defense of wildfire claims, payments made for wildfire insurance and related risk-transfer mechanisms and the cost of financing these amounts) through a Wildfire Expense Memorandum Account ("WEMA").The standard for cost recovery under AB 1054 has not been interpreted or applied by the CPUC. The Company will continue to evaluate the probability of recovery based on available evidence and applicable legal determinations.
In relation to the Mountain View Fire, the Company has accrued estimated losses of $172,282 for claims arising out of the Mountain View Fire, against which it has recorded expected recoveries through insurance of $116,000 and WEMA of $56,282. The Company records a receivable for recovery when it is deemed probable that recovery will occur and that the Company can reasonably estimate the amount or its range. While the Company plans to seek recovery of the estimated losses in excess of the available insurance, it is subject to approval by the CPUC pursuant to the standard in AB 1054. Refer to Note 19(a) Commitments and contingencies for details.

The Company’s overall net deferred tax asset position related to Canadian attributes increased from $151,759 to $152,705 during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

The Company considered all evidence, both positive and negative, including the announcement of the sale of the renewable energy business, the availability of tax planning strategies and the carryforward period of its Canadian net operating losses in making this assessment. The Company will continue to monitor this position as at each consolidated balance sheet date.
On June 20, 2024, Canada enacted significant tax legislation, including the Excessive Interest and Financing Expenses Limitation rules and legislation for the Global Minimum Tax Act. The enactment had no material impact on the financial results of the Company for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024.
The Company recorded a tax benefit for renewable energy credits in the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, of $17,160 and $20,463, respectively (2023 - $8,095 and $20,505, respectively). The credits recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, include $10,372 for a solar facility placed in service in 2023 that is eligible for an energy community bonus tax credit adder.

Basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share have been calculated on the basis of earnings (loss) attributable to the common shareholders of the Company and the weighted average number of common shares and bonus deferral restricted share units outstanding. Diluted net earnings (loss) per share is computed using the weighted-average number of common shares, additional shares issued subsequent to quarter-end under the dividend reinvestment plan, and, if dilutive, potential incremental common shares related to the convertible debentures or resulting from the application of the treasury stock method to the Green Equity Units (note 7), as applicable, and the weighted average number of outstanding share options, PSUs, RSUs and DSUs outstanding during the period.

18.Segmented information
The Company is managed under two primary business units consisting of the Regulated Services Group and the Renewable Energy Group. The two business units are the two segments of the Company.
The Regulated Services Group, the Company's regulated operating unit, primarily owns and operates a portfolio of electric, natural gas, water distribution wastewater collection, and natural gas utility systems and transmission operations in the United States, Canada, Bermuda and Chile; the Renewable Energy Group, the Company's non-regulated operating unit, primarily owns and operates, or has investments in, a diversified portfolio of renewable and thermal energy generation assets.
The Company announced that it is pursuing a sale of its renewable energy business. The anticipated sale has not met the accounting requirements to be presented as held for sale as of June 30, 2024.
For the purposes of evaluating the performance of the business units, the Company allocates the realized portion of any gains or losses on financial instruments to the specific business units. Dividend income from Atlantica and AYES Canada is included in the operations of the Renewable Energy Group, while interest income from San Antonio Water System is included in the operations of the Regulated Services Group. Equity method gains and losses are included in the operations of the Regulated Services Group or Renewable Energy Group based on the nature of the activities of the investees. The change in value of investments carried at fair value, unrealized portion of any gains or losses on derivative instruments not designated in a hedging relationship and foreign exchange gains and losses are not considered in management’s evaluation of divisional performance and are, therefore, allocated and reported under Corporate.

19. Commitments and contingencies
(a)Contingencies
AQN and its subsidiaries are involved in various claims and litigation arising out of the ordinary course and conduct of its business. Although such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not consider AQN’s exposure to such litigation to be material to these unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements. Accruals for any contingencies related to these items are recorded in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements at the time it is concluded that their occurrence is probable and the related liability is estimable.
Mountain View Fire
On November 17, 2020, a wildfire now known as the Mountain View Fire occurred in the territory of Liberty Utilities (CalPeco Electric) LLC ("Liberty CalPeco"). The cause of the fire remains under investigation, and CAL FIRE has not yet released its final report. There are currently 22 lawsuits that name certain subsidiaries of the Company as defendants in connection with the Mountain View Fire, as well as a non-litigation claim brought by the U.S. Department of Agriculture seeking reimbursement for alleged fire suppression costs and a notice from the U.S. Bureau of Land Management seeking damages for the alleged burning of public lands without authorization. Fifteen lawsuits are brought by groups of individual plaintiffs alleging causes of action including negligence, inverse condemnation, nuisance, trespass, and violations of Cal. Pub. Util. Code 2106 and Cal. Health and Safety Code 13007 (one of these 15 lawsuits also alleges the wrongful death of an individual and various subrogation claims on behalf of insurance companies). On March 6, 2024, a trial commenced in Los Angeles County Superior Court on four bellwether cases with respect to inverse condemnation liability only; the trial has been stayed until August 12, 2024. If the Company's subsidiaries were found liable in those cases, the damages, if any, would not be determined at this trial. In another lawsuit, County of Mono, Antelope Valley Fire Protection District, and Bridgeport Indian Colony allege similar causes of action and seek damages for fire suppression costs, law enforcement costs, property and infrastructure damage, and other costs. In six other lawsuits, insurance companies allege inverse condemnation and negligence and seek recovery of amounts paid and to be paid to their insureds. The likelihood of success in these lawsuits is uncertain. Liberty CalPeco intends to vigorously defend them. The Company accrued estimated losses of $172,282 for claims related to the Mountain View Fire, against which Liberty CalPeco has recorded expected recoveries through insurance of $116,000 and the WEMA of $56,282. The resulting net charge to earnings was $nil. The estimate of losses is subject to change as additional information becomes available. The actual amount of losses may be higher or lower than these estimates. While the Company may incur a material loss in excess of the amount accrued, the Company cannot estimate the upper end of the range of reasonably possible losses that may be incurred. The Company has wildfire liability insurance that is expected to apply up to applicable policy limits.

21.Financial instruments (continued)
(a)Fair value of financial instruments (continued)
The Company has determined that the carrying value of its short-term financial assets and liabilities approximates their fair value as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 due to the short-term maturity of these instruments.
The fair value of the investment in Atlantica (level 1) is measured at the closing price on the NASDAQ stock exchange.
The fair value of development loans and other receivables (level 2) is determined using a discounted cash flow method, using estimated current market rates for similar instruments adjusted for estimated credit risk as determined by management.
The Company’s level 1 fair value of long-term debt is measured at the closing price on the NYSE and the Canadian over-the-counter closing price. The Company’s level 2 fair value of long-term debt at fixed interest rates has been determined using a discounted cash flow method and current interest rates. The Company's level 2 fair value of convertible debentures has been determined as the greater of their face value and the quoted value of AQN's common shares on a converted basis.
The Company’s level 2 fair value derivative instruments primarily consist of swaps, options, rights, subscription agreements and forward physical derivatives where market data for pricing inputs are observable. Level 2 pricing inputs are obtained from various market indices and utilize discounting based on quoted interest rate curves, which are observable in the marketplace.
The Company’s level 3 instruments consist of energy contracts for electricity sales, congestion revenue rights ("CRRs") and the Company's investment in AYES Canada. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of energy contracts are the internally developed forward market prices ranging from $18.90 to $154.55 with a weighted average of $39.17 as of June 30, 2024. The weighted average forward market prices are developed based on the quantity of energy expected to be sold monthly and the expected forward price during that month. The change in the fair value of the energy contracts is detailed in notes 21(b)(ii) and 21(b)(iv). The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of CRRs are recent CRR auction prices ranging from $nil to $31.95 with a weighted average of $4.53 as of June 30, 2024. The significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurement of the Company's AYES Canada investment are the expected cash flows, the discount rates applied to these cash flows ranging from 8.10% to 8.60% with a weighted average of 8.26%, and the expected volatility of Atlantica's share price ranging from 27.47% to 33.19% as of June 30, 2024. Significant increases (decreases) in expected cash flows or increases (decreases) in discount rate in isolation would have resulted in a significantly lower (higher) fair value measurement.
(b)Derivative instruments
Derivative instruments are recognized on the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets as either assets or liabilities and measured at fair value at each reporting period.
(i)Commodity derivatives - regulated accounting
The Company uses derivative financial instruments to reduce the cash flow variability associated with the purchase price for a portion of future natural gas purchases associated with its regulated natural gas and electric service territories. The Company’s strategy is to minimize fluctuations in natural gas sale prices to regulated customers. As at June 30, 2024, the commodity volume, in dekatherms, associated with the above derivative contracts was 2,262,896.

21.Financial instruments (continued)
(b)Derivative instruments (continued)
(i)Commodity derivatives – regulated accounting (continued)
The accounting for these derivative instruments is subject to guidance for rate regulated enterprises. Therefore, the fair value of these derivatives is recorded as current or long-term assets and liabilities, with offsetting positions recorded as regulatory assets and regulatory liabilities in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated balance sheets. Most of the gains or losses on the settlement of these contracts are included in the calculation of the fuel and commodity cost adjustments (note 5). As a result, the changes in fair value of these natural gas derivative contracts and their offsetting adjustment to regulatory assets and liabilities had no earnings impact.
(ii)Cash flow hedges
The Company has sought to reduce the price risk on the expected future sale of power generation at the Sandy Ridge, Senate, Minonk and Sugar Creek Wind Facilities by entering into the following long-term energy derivative contracts.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Notional quantity (MW-hrs) | | Expiry | | Receive average prices (per MW-hr) | | Pay floating price (per MW-hr) |

| | | | | | |
| | | | | | |

The Company mitigates the risk that interest rates will increase over the life of certain term loan facilities by entering into the following interest rate swap contracts. For an interest rate swap or cross-currency interest rate swap designated as hedging the exposure to variable cash flows of a future transaction, the effective portion of this derivative's gain or loss is initially reported as a component of OCI and subsequently reclassified into earnings once the future transaction impacts earnings. Amounts for interest rate contracts are reclassified to earnings as interest expense over the term of the related debt.

OCI attributable to shareholders of AQN | $ | 29,190 | | | $ | 36,421 | | | $ | 38,652 | | | $ | 54,286 | |
The Company expects $41,232 of unrealized losses currently in AOCI to be reclassified, net of taxes, into non-regulated energy sales, investment loss, interest expense and derivative gains, within the next 12 months, as the underlying hedged transactions settle.
(iii)Foreign exchange hedge of net investment in foreign operation
The functional currency of most of AQN's operations is the U.S. dollar. The Company designates obligations denominated in Canadian dollars as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in its Canadian investments and subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as, and effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A foreign currency loss of $2,401 and a gain of $10,186 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively,(2023 - losses of $9,629 and $9,638, respectively) were recorded in OCI.
On May 23, 2019, the Company entered into a cross-currency swap, coterminous with the subordinated unsecured notes issued on such date, to effectively convert the $350,000 U.S.-dollar-denominated offering into Canadian dollars. The change in the carrying amount of the notes due to changes in spot exchange rates was recognized each period in the unaudited interim condensed consolidated statements of operations as loss on foreign exchange. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency fixed-for-fixed interest rate swap as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure related to cash flows for the interest and principal repayments on the notes. Upon the change in functional currency of AQN to the U.S. dollar on January 1, 2020, this hedge was dedesignated. The Company redesignated this swap as a hedge of AQN's net investment in its Canadian subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. The fair value of the derivative on the redesignation date will be amortized over the remaining life of the original hedge. Foreign currency gains of $2,195 and $4,413 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively (2023 - losses of $7,009 and $6,942, respectively) was recorded in OCI.

(iii) Foreign exchange hedge of net investment in foreign operation (continued)
Canadian operations
The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations from its Canadian-based operations. AQN manages this risk primarily through the use of natural hedges by using Canadian long-term debt to finance its Canadian operations and a combination of foreign exchange forward contracts and spot purchases.
The Company’s Canadian operations are determined to have the Canadian dollar as their functional currency and are exposed to currency fluctuations from their U.S. dollar transactions. The Company designates obligations denominated in U.S. dollars as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in its U.S. investments and subsidiaries. The related foreign currency transaction gain or loss designated as, and effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation is reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. Foreign currency gains of $12 and $502 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, (2023 - losses of $2,924 and $2,801, respectively) were recorded in OCI.
The Company is party to a C$300,000 fixed-for-fixed cross-currency interest rate swap to effectively convert Canadian dollar debentures into U.S. dollars. The Company designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency interest rate swap and related short-term U.S. dollar payables created by the monthly accruals of the swap settlement as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in the Company’s U.S. operations. The gain or loss related to the fair value changes of the swap and the related foreign currency gains and losses on the U.S. dollar accruals that are designated as, and are effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation are reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. Losses of $1,186 and $5,190 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, (2023 - gains of $3,967 and $4,348, respectively) were recorded in OCI.
The Company is party to a fixed-for-fixed cross-currency interest rate swap to effectively convert the C$400,000 Canadian-dollar-denominated debentures into U.S. dollars. The Renewable Energy Group designated the entire notional amount of the cross-currency interest rate swap and related short-term U.S. dollar payables created by the monthly accruals, respectively, of the swap settlement as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in the Renewable Energy Group’s U.S. operations. The gain or loss related to the fair value changes of the swap and the related foreign currency gains and losses on the U.S. dollar accruals that are designated as, and are effective as, a hedge of the net investment in a foreign operation are reported in the same manner as the translation adjustment (in OCI) related to the net investment. A gain of $75 and a loss of $6,898 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, (2023 - gains of $4,975 and $4,987, respectively) was recorded in OCI.
Chilean operations
The Company is exposed to currency fluctuations from its Chilean-based operations. The Company's Chilean operations are determined to have the Chilean peso as their functional currency. Chilean long-term debt used to finance the operations is denominated in Chilean Unidad de Fomento.
(iv)Other derivatives and risk management
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to financial risks that potentially impact its operating results. The Company employs risk management strategies with a view to mitigating these risks to the extent possible on a cost-effective basis. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage certain exposures to fluctuations in exchange rates, interest rates and commodity prices. The Company does not enter into derivative financial agreements for speculative purposes. For derivatives that are not designated as hedges, the changes in the fair value are immediately recognized in earnings.
The Company seeks to mitigate the volatility of energy congestion charges at the ERCOT transmission grid by entering into CRRs, which as of June 30, 2024 have a notional quantity of 2,433,240 MW-hours at prices ranging from $0.84 per MW-hr to $19.03 per MW-hr with a weighted average of $4.37 per MW-hr for April 2024 to June 2026. These CRRs are not designated as an accounting hedge.

(c)Supplier financing programs
In the normal course of business, the Company enters into supplier financing programs under which the suppliers can voluntarily elect to sell their receivables. The Company agrees to pay, on the invoice maturity date, the stated amount of the invoices that the Company has confirmed through the execution of bills of exchange. The terms of the trade payable arrangement are consistent with customary industry practice and are not impacted by the supplier’s decision to sell amounts under these arrangements. As of June 30, 2024, accounts payable include confirmed invoices from designated suppliers of $77,658 (December 31, 2023 - $62,173).
