Nature of business
Nature of business	1. Nature of business General Atlantic Power is an independent power producer that owns power generation assets in eleven states in the United States and two provinces in Canada. Our power generation projects, which are diversified by geography, fuel type, dispatch profile and offtaker, sell electricity to utilities and other large customers predominantly under long-term power purchase agreements (“PPAs”), which seek to minimize exposure to changes in commodity prices. As of June 30, 2020, our portfolio consisted of twenty-one operating projects with an aggregate electric generating capacity of approximately 1,723 megawatts (“MW”) on a gross ownership basis and approximately 1,327 MW on a net ownership basis. Sixteen of the projects are majority-owned by the Company. Atlantic Power is a corporation established under the laws of the Province of Ontario on June 18, 2004 and continued to the Province of British Columbia on July 8, 2005. Our shares trade on the Toronto Stock Exchange (“TSX”) under the symbol “ATP” and on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “AT.” Our registered office is located at 1066 West Hastings Street, Suite 2600, Vancouver, British Columbia V6E 3X1, Canada and our headquarters is located at 3 Allied Drive, Suite 155, Dedham, Massachusetts 02026, USA. Our telephone number in Dedham is (617) 977-2400 and the address of our website is www.atlanticpower.com. Information contained on Atlantic Power’s website or that can be accessed through its website is not incorporated into and does not constitute a part of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We have included our website address only as an inactive textual reference and do not intend it to be an active link to our website. Basis of presentation The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the SEC regulations for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. The following notes should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies and other disclosures as set forth in the notes to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements present fairly our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2020, the results of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and other adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. During the periods presented, we have made a number of estimates and valuation assumptions, including the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in purchase accounting, the useful lives and recoverability of property, plant and equipment, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and liabilities related to PPAs and fuel supply agreements, the recoverability of equity method investments, the recoverability of deferred tax assets, tax provisions, recovery of expected insurance proceeds, the fair value of financial instruments and derivatives, pension obligations, asset retirement obligations and equity-based compensation. In addition, estimates are used to test long-lived assets and goodwill for impairment and to determine the fair value of impaired assets. These estimates and valuation assumptions are based on present conditions and our planned course of action, as well as assumptions about future business and economic conditions. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates COVID-19 Pandemic There are many uncertainties regarding the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, and we are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our customers, employees, suppliers, vendors and business partners. We have taken extra precautions for our employees who continue to work at our facilities and have implemented work-from-home policies where appropriate. Currently, we do not anticipate any employee layoffs and are continuing to maintain our high level of reliability and availability of our plants. We continue to implement strong physical and cybersecurity measures to ensure that our systems remain functional in order to serve our operational needs with a remote workforce and to keep our operations running to ensure uninterrupted service to our offtakers. Recently adopted and issued accounting standards Accounting standards adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”(Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This guidance amends the guidance on measuring credit losses on financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements” to modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurement disclosures. The guidance requires removals of certain disclosures, such as the amount of and reasons for transfers between level 1 and level 2 of fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of transfers between levels. The guidance further requires modifications and additions surrounding the disclosures of level 3 fair value measurements and related unrealized gains and losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 and it did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, “Codification Improvements” to remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost-beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The scope of the guidance is broad and includes reporting comprehensive income, debt modifications and extinguishments and other sub topics. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 and it did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting standards to be implemented In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (Subtopic 715-20)”, to improve the effectiveness of benefit plan disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, for public business entities and early adoption is permitted for all entities. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption will have on our disclosures. In December 2019, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for income taxes through ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions such as: 1) the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, 2) the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment, 3) the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary, and 4) the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. For public entities, the amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for reference rate reform through ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.” The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The amendments are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities. We

Long-term debt Long-term debt consists of the following: June 30, December 31, 2020 2019 Interest Rate Recourse Debt: Senior secured term loan facility, due 2025 (1) $ 345.0 $ 380.0 LIBOR (2) plus 2.50 % Senior unsecured notes, due June 2036 (Cdn$210.0) 154.1 161.7 5.95 % Non-Recourse Debt: Cadillac term loan, due 2025 (3)(4) 16.4 18.7 LIBOR plus 1.61 % Less: unamortized discount (4.7) (5.8) Less: unamortized deferred financing costs (4.7) (4.7) Less: current maturities (86.0) (76.4) Total long-term debt $ 420.1 $ 473.5 Current maturities consist of the following: June 30, December 31, 2020 2019 Interest Rate Current Maturities: Senior secured term loan facility, due 2025 (1) $ 83.0 $ 72.5 LIBOR (2) plus 2.50 % Cadillac term loan, due 2025 (3) 3.0 3.9 LIBOR plus 1.61 % Total current maturities $ 86.0 $ 76.4 (1) On a quarterly basis, we make a cash sweep payment to fund the principal balance, based on terms as defined in the term loan credit agreement. The portion of the senior secured term loan facility classified as current is based on principal payments required to reduce the aggregate principal amount of senior secured term loan outstanding to achieve a target principal amount that declines quarterly based on a pre-determined specified schedule. (2) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) cannot be less than 1.00%. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate the exposure to changes in LIBOR of the $345.0 million outstanding aggregate borrowings under our senior secured term loan facility at June 30, 2020. See Note 7, Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities for further details. (3) We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to economically fix our exposure to changes in interest rates for this non-recourse debt. See Note 7, Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities , for further details. (4) The Cadillac term loan credit agreement (the “Cadillac Term Loan”) contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, the operation of the Cadillac plant, compliance with laws, incurrence of additional debt and restricted payments (as defined in the Cadillac Term Loan). One of the negative covenants requires the Cadillac project to meet certain key financial ratios, including a debt service coverage ratio (as defined in the Cadillac Term Loan). Beginning March 31, 2020, and as of June 30, 2020, we determined that the Cadillac project did not fulfill the debt service coverage ratio as required by the Cadillac Term Loan. Due to the breach of the covenant clause, the Cadillac project is prevented from making restricted payments (as defined in the Cadillac Term Loan) until several conditions are met, including, among other things, (i) the debt service coverage ratio for the most-recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters is at least 1.2 to 1.0 and (ii) the projected debt service coverage ratio for the four consecutive fiscal quarters immediately following the period described in (i) is at least 1.2 to 1.0. We have not made any restricted payments (as defined in the Cadillac Term Loan) since July 31, 2019. Term Loan Amendment and Repricing Extension of Revolving Credit Facility On March 18, 2020, we executed an amendment to our Revolver. The amendment provides for an extension of the Revolver maturity date to April 2025, to coincide with the maturity date of the senior Term Loan. Both the Revolver and the Term Loan are at our APLP Holdings subsidiary. In conjunction with the extension, the Revolver capacity was reduced to $180 million from $200 million previously. The amendment allows an upsizing of the Revolver capacity by up to $30 million, to a maximum aggregate amount of $210 million, subject to approval of the two letter of credit issuer banks and increased commitments by existing or new lenders. Such an upsizing would not require a further amendment. There were no other significant changes to the terms of the Revolver. As a result of the extension, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $0.9 million of new deferred financing costs, which will be amortized over the remaining term of the Revolver. At June 30, 2020, we had no borrowings under the Revolver and utilized $77.9 million of borrowing capacity for letters of credit. Renewal of Shelf Registration Statement In December 2017, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was declared effective by the SEC on December 19, 2017 (the “Existing Shelf Registration Statement”). The Existing Shelf Registration Statement allows the Company to sell from time to time up to $250 million of common shares, debt securities, warrants, subscription receipts or units comprised of any combination of these securities, for its own account in one or more offerings. The Existing Shelf Registration Statement is due to expire on December 19, 2020. The Company intends to file a comparable updated shelf that, upon effectiveness and subject to review by the SEC, would be available for use for three years in the United States. The Company also intends to file a base short-form prospectus qualifying the distribution of such securities concurrently with Canadian securities regulators.

Fair value of financial instruments
Fair value of financial instruments	6. Fair value of financial instruments The following represents the recurring measurements of fair value hierarchy of our financial assets and liabilities that were recognized at fair value as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019. Financial assets and liabilities are classified based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. June 30, 2020 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 38.0 $ — $ — $ 38.0 Restricted cash 0.5 — — 0.5 Derivative instruments asset — — — — Total $ 38.5 $ — $ — $ 38.5 Liabilities: Derivative instruments liability $ — $ 26.2 $ 5.2 $ 31.4 Total $ — $ 26.2 $ 5.2 $ 31.4 December 31, 2019 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total Assets: Cash and cash equivalents $ 74.9 $ — $ — $ 74.9 Restricted cash 7.7 — — 7.7 Derivative instruments asset — 0.7 — 0.7 Total $ 82.6 $ 0.7 $ — $ 83.3 Liabilities: Derivative instruments liability $ — $ 24.7 $ 3.2 $ 27.9 Total $ — $ 24.7 $ 3.2 $ 27.9 The fair values of our interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts, natural gas swaps and gas purchase agreements are based upon trades in liquid markets. Valuation model inputs can generally be verified and valuation techniques do not involve significant judgment. The fair values of such financial instruments are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We use our best estimates to determine the fair value of commodity and derivative contracts we hold. These estimates consider various factors including closing exchange prices, time value, volatility factors and credit exposure. The fair value of each contract is discounted using a risk-free interest rate. We also adjust the fair value of financial assets and liabilities to reflect credit risk, which is calculated based on our credit rating and the credit rating of our counterparties. As of June 30, 2020, the credit valuation adjustments resulted in a $0.8 million net increase in fair value, which consists of a $0.1 million pre-tax gain in other comprehensive income and a $0.7 million gain in change in fair value of derivative instruments. As of December 31, 2019, the credit valuation adjustments resulted in a $1.1 million net increase in fair value, which consists of a $0.1 million pre-tax gain in other comprehensive income and a $1.0 million gain in change in fair value of derivative instruments. The conversion option derivative for the Series E Debentures is classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The significant unobservable inputs used in developing fair value include the volatility of our common shares and the fair value of the host contract, which is derived from recent similar convertible debenture offerings from peer companies. A discounted cash flow valuation technique is utilized to calculate the fair value of the conversion option derivative. The following table reconciles, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the beginning and ending balances for the conversion option derivative that is recognized at fair value in the condensed consolidated financial statements, using significant unobservable inputs: Fair value Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Beginning balance of liability at January 1, 2020 $ 3.2 Total unrealized loss 2.0 Currency transaction loss — Ending balance of liability at June 30, 2020 $ 5.2 Fair value Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Beginning balance of liability at January 1, 2019 $ 1.2 Total unrealized loss 1.8 Currency transaction loss 0.2 Ending balance of liability at June 30, 2019 $ 3.2 For cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and restricted cash, the carrying amount approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments and is classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities
Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities	7. Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities We recognize all derivative instruments on the balance sheet as either assets or liabilities and measure them at fair value in each reporting period. We have one contract designated as a cash flow hedge, and we defer the effective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), until the hedged transactions occur and are recognized in earnings (loss). The ineffective portion of a cash flow hedge is immediately recognized in earnings (loss). For our other derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges, the changes in the fair value are immediately recognized in earnings (loss). These guidelines apply to our natural gas swaps, interest rate swaps, and foreign exchange contracts. Gas purchase and sale agreements We have a gas purchase agreement at our Nipigon project that expires on December 31, 2022 under which we purchase a minimum of 6,500 Gigajoules (“Gj”) of natural gas per day at a price of Cdn$4.57 per Gj. This agreement does not qualify for the normal purchase normal sales (“NPNS”) exemption and is accounted for as a derivative financial instrument because we could not conclude that it is probable that this contract will not settle net and will result in physical delivery. This derivative financial instrument is recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and the changes in its fair market value are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We also have a corresponding gas sales agreement at Nipigon, whereby On May 15, 2020, we also entered into natural gas purchase agreements at our Morris project for approximately 700,000 MMBtu from January 2021 through February 2021 to effectively mitigate seasonal fluctuations of future natural gas prices. This contract is accounted for as a derivative financial instrument and is recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value. Changes in the fair market value of this contract are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Natural gas swaps Our strategy to mitigate future exposure to changes in natural gas prices at our projects consists of periodically entering into financial swaps that effectively fix the price of natural gas expected to be purchased at these projects. These natural gas swaps are derivative financial instruments and are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value and the changes in their fair market value are recorded in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We have entered into various natural gas swaps to effectively fix the price of 14.5 million MMBtu of future natural gas purchases at our Orlando project, which is approximately 100% of our share of the expected natural gas purchases in 2020 through 2023. These contracts are accounted for as derivative financial instruments and are recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheet at fair value at June 30, 2020. Changes in the fair market value of these contracts are recorded in the condensed consolidated statement of operations. Interest rate swaps APLP Holdings has entered into several interest rate swap agreements to mitigate its exposure to changes in interest at the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate. At June 30, 2020, these agreements totaled $345 million notional amount of the remaining $345 million aggregate principal amount of borrowings under the senior secured term loan facility (“Term Loan Facility”). These interest rate swap agreements expire at various dates through March 31, 2022. Borrowings under the $700.0 million Term Loan Facility bear interest at a rate equal to the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate plus an applicable margin of 2.50%. Based on the terms of the Term Loan Facility, the Adjusted Eurodollar Rate cannot be less than 1.00%, resulting in a minimum of a 3.50% all-in rate on the Term Loan Facility for the non-swapped portion of the remaining principal amount. The weighted average rate of these swap agreements is 2.21%, resulting in an all-in rate of approximately 4.71% for $345.0 million of the Term Loan Facility. The Cadillac project has an interest rate swap agreement that effectively fixes the interest rate at 6.3% through February 15, 2023, and 6.4% thereafter. The notional amount of the interest rate swap agreement matches the outstanding principal balance over the remaining life of the Cadillac Term Loan. This swap agreement, which qualifies for and is designated as a cash flow hedge, is effective through June 2025 and the effective portion of the changes in the fair market value is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). Foreign currency forward contracts We use foreign currency forward contracts to manage our exposure to changes in foreign exchange rates as we generate cash flow in U.S. dollars and Canadian dollars. We currently have Canadian dollar payment obligations for preferred dividends, interest on our Canadian dollar-denominated convertible debentures and our Medium Term Notes due June 23, 2036 (“MTNs”). Principal and interest payments for our Term Loan are made in U.S. dollars. We have a hedging strategy for the purpose of mitigating the currency risk impact on the future interest and principal payments, preferred dividends and other working capital requirements. Foreign currency forward contracts are not designated as hedges, and changes in their market value are recorded in foreign exchange on the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2020, we have no foreign currency forward contracts. Volume of forecasted transactions We have entered into derivative instruments in order to economically hedge the following notional volumes of forecasted transactions as summarized below, by type, excluding those derivatives that qualified for NPNS exemption at June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019: June 30, December 31, Units 2020 2019 Natural gas swaps Natural Gas (MMBtu) 14.5 16.3 Gas purchase agreements Natural Gas (Gigajoules) 6.6 6.4 Interest rate swaps Interest (US$) 441.4 468.4 Fair value of derivative instruments We disclose derivative instrument assets and liabilities on a trade-by-trade basis and do not offset amounts at the counterparty master agreement level.

Expected income tax benefit for the same period, based on the Canadian enacted statutory rate of 27%, was $0.8 million. The primary items impacting the tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2020 were $2.7 million related to changes in estimates due to tax filings and $0.5 million of other permanent differences. These items were partially offset by $1.0 million relating to foreign exchange losses and a net decrease to the Company's valuation allowances of $0.2 million, consisting of $2.1 million increases in Canada and $2.3 million decreases in the United States due to the utilization of net operating losses. Income tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was $1.6 million. Expected income tax expense for the same period, based on the Canadian enacted statutory rate of 27%, was $1.2 million. The primary item impacting the tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2019 was a net increase to our valuation allowances of $1.5 million, consisting of $3.7 million increases in Canada and $2.2 million decreases in the United States due to the utilization of net operating losses. In addition, the rate was further impacted by $0.4 million relating to withholding and state taxes and $0.2 million of other permanent differences. These items were partially offset by $1.7 million relating to foreign exchange. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $2.7 million. Expected income tax expense for the same period, based on the Canadian enacted statutory rate of 27%, was $6.0 million. The primary items impacting the tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2020 was a net decrease to our valuation allowances of $8.9 million, consisting of $3.8 million decreases in Canada and $5.1 million decreases in the United States due to the utilization of net operating losses. These items were offset by $2.7 million related to changes in estimates due to tax filings, $1.1 million relating to foreign exchange gains, $0.6 million relating to withholding and state taxes and $1.2 million of other permanent differences. Income tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was $2.2 million. Expected income tax expense for the same period, based on the Canadian enacted statutory rate of 27%, was $2.0 million. The primary items impacting the tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2019 were $0.8 million related to withholding and state taxes and $0.3 million of other permanent differences. These items were partially offset by $0.9 million relating to foreign exchange. As of June 30, 2020, we have recorded a valuation allowance of $136.6 million. The amount is comprised primarily of provisions against Canadian and U.S. net operating loss carryforwards. In assessing the recoverability of our deferred tax assets, we consider whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon projected timing on the reversal of deferred tax liabilities and future taxable income in the United States and in Canada and available tax planning strategies.

(“APPEL”), our wholly-owned subsidiary. The NCIBs expire on December 30, 2020 or such earlier date as the Company and/or APPEL complete their respective purchases pursuant to the new NCIBs. Under the NCIB, we may purchase up to a total of 10,578,799 common shares based on 10% of our public float as of December 17, 2019 and we are limited to daily purchases of 9,243 common shares per day with certain exceptions including block purchases and purchases on other approved exchanges. We may also purchase up to Cdn$11.5 million of Series E Debentures; 384,750 shares of 4.85% Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, Series 1 (the “Series 1 Shares”); 223,072 shares of 7.0% Cumulative Rate Preferred Shares Series 2 (the “Series 2 Shares”); and 133,031 shares of Cumulative Floating Rate Preferred Shares, Series 3 (the “Series 3 Shares”) of APPEL. All purchases made under the NCIBs will be made through the facilities of the TSX or other Canadian designated exchanges and published marketplaces and in accordance with the rules of the TSX at market prices prevailing at the time of purchase. Common share purchases under the NCIBs may also be made on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) in compliance with Rule 10b-18 under the Exchange Act, as amended, or other designated exchanges and published marketplaces in the United States in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements. The ability to make certain purchases through the facilities of the NYSE is subject to regulatory approval. The NCIB permits the Company to repurchase common and preferred shares and Series E Debentures. In addition to the current NCIBs, from time to time we may repurchase our securities, including our common shares, our Series E Debentures and our APPEL preferred shares through open market purchases, including pursuant to one or more “Rule 10b5-1 plans” pursuant to such provision under the Exchange Act, NCIBs, issuer self tender or substantial issuer bids, or in privately negotiated transactions. There can be no assurances as to the amount, timing or prices of repurchases, which may vary based on market conditions, other market opportunities and other factors. Any share repurchases outside of previously authorized NCIBs would be effected after taking into account our then current cash position and then anticipated cash obligations or business opportunities. Beginning on March 25, 2020, we commenced a Substantial Issuer Bid (“SIB”) (described below) that expired on April 30, 2020. During the time the SIB was active, the NCIB was suspended for the purchase of common shares and Series E Debentures, but not for the preferred shares of APPEL. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we repurchased and cancelled 4,810,325 common shares under the NCIB at a total cost of $10.3 million. Subsequent to June 30, 2020 and through the date of this Form 10-Q, we repurchased and cancelled an additional 2,729,780 common shares at a total cost of $5.5 million. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we also repurchased and cancelled 381,794 Series 1 Shares, 62,365 Series 2 Shares and 120,000 Series 3 Shares of APPEL at a total cost of $6.4 million. As a result of the repurchase, a $7.4 million loss was attributed to the preferred shares of a subsidiary company in the condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Substantial Issuer Bid On March 25, 2020, we commenced a SIB for the purchase of up to $25 million common shares. This was equivalent to 12,820,512 common shares, or approximately 12% of our total issued and outstanding common shares based on a $1.95 per share purchase price (the minimum price per common share under the offer) as measured on the date of commencement. The SIB expired on April 30, 2020. During the time the SIB was active, the NCIB was suspended for the purchase of common shares and Series E Debentures, but not for the preferred shares of APPEL. The SIB proceeded by way of a “modified Dutch auction.” Holders of common shares were able to tender to the offer by: (i) auction tenders in which they specified the number of common shares being tendered at a price of not less than US$ The purchase price paid by the Company for each validly deposited common share was based on the number of common shares validly deposited pursuant to auction tenders and purchase price tenders, and the prices specified by shareholders making auction tenders. The purchase price was the lowest price which enabled the Company to purchase common shares up to the maximum amount available for auction tenders and purchase price tenders, determined in accordance with the terms of the offer. Common shares that were deposited at or below the final determined purchase price were purchased at such purchase price. Common shares that were not taken up in connection with the offer, including common shares deposited pursuant to auction tenders at prices above the purchase price, were returned to the shareholders. We repurchased and cancelled 12,500,000 common shares under the SIB at a total cost of $25.8 million, including transaction costs, upon its expiration on April 30, 2020.

Segment and geographic information
Segment and geographic information	12. Segment and geographic information We have four reportable segments: Solid Fuel, Natural Gas, Hydroelectric and Corporate. We revised our reportable business segments in the fourth quarter of 2019 as the result of recent asset acquisitions, PPA expirations and project decommissioning, and in order to align with changes to management’s structure, resource allocation and performance assessment in making decisions regarding our operations. Segment information for the comparative 2019 period has been revised to conform to the new segment presentation. We analyze the performance of our operating segments based on Project Adjusted EBITDA, which is defined as project income (loss) plus interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, insurance loss (gain), other (income) expenses and changes in fair value of derivative instruments. Project Adjusted EBITDA is not a measure recognized under GAAP and does not have a standardized meaning prescribed by GAAP and is therefore unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. We use Project Adjusted EBITDA to provide comparative information about segment performance without considering how projects are capitalized or whether they contain derivative contracts that are required to be recorded at fair value. Our equity method investments in unconsolidated affiliates are presented as proportionately consolidated based on our ownership percentage in the reconciliation of Project Adjusted EBITDA to project income. A reconciliation of Project Adjusted EBITDA to net income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 is included in the tables below: Solid Fuel Natural Gas Hydroelectric Corporate Consolidated Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 Project revenues $ 17.3 $ 26.9 $ 17.9 $ 0.2 $ 62.3 Segment assets 217.7 218.8 357.6 54.8 848.9 Project Adjusted EBITDA $ (1.6) $ 23.8 $ 14.8 $ (0.3) $ 36.7 Change in fair value of derivative instruments — (2.5) — (0.6) (3.1) Depreciation and amortization 5.6 8.9 4.9 — 19.4 Interest, net 0.7 — — — 0.7 Other project expense — — — — — Project (loss) income (7.9) 17.4 9.9 0.3 19.7 Administration — — — 4.5 4.5 Interest expense, net — — — 10.2 10.2 Foreign exchange loss — — — 9.3 9.3 Other income, net — — — (1.5) (1.5) Net (loss) income before income taxes (7.9) 17.4 9.9 (22.2) (2.8) Income tax expense — — — 1.2 1.2 Net (loss) income $ (7.9) $ 17.4 $ 9.9 $ (23.4) $ (4.0) Solid Fuel Natural Gas Hydroelectric Corporate Consolidated Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 Project revenues $ 18.6 $ 30.0 $ 22.5 $ 0.2 $ 71.3 Segment assets 261.2 262.1 382.9 96.4 1,002.6 Project Adjusted EBITDA $ 8.3 $ 22.9 $ 19.3 $ 0.3 $ 50.8 Change in fair value of derivative instruments — 2.4 — 4.6 7.0 Depreciation and amortization 5.9 9.2 4.9 — 20.0 Interest, net 0.8 — — — 0.8 Other project expense — 1.3 — — 1.3 Project income (loss) 1.6 10.0 14.4 (4.3) 21.7 Administration — — — 5.0 5.0 Interest expense, net — — — 11.0 11.0 Foreign exchange loss — — — 4.9 4.9 Other income, net — — — (3.7) (3.7) Net income (loss) before income taxes 1.6 10.0 14.4 (21.5) 4.5 Income tax expense — — — 1.6 1.6 Net income (loss) $ 1.6 $ 10.0 $ 14.4 $ (23.1) $ 2.9 Solid Fuel Natural Gas Hydroelectric Corporate Consolidated Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 Project revenues $ 40.6 $ 57.7 $ 36.2 $ 0.5 $ 135.0 Segment assets 217.7 218.8 357.6 54.8 848.9 Project Adjusted EBITDA $ 6.2 $ 52.0 $ 30.1 $ (0.7) $ 87.6 Change in fair value of derivative instruments — (3.0) — 5.5 2.5 Depreciation and amortization 11.2 18.2 9.8 0.1 39.3 Interest, net 1.4 — — — 1.4 Other project expense — — — — — Project (loss) income (6.4) 36.8 20.3 (6.3) 44.4 Administration — — — 11.2 11.2 Interest expense, net — — — 21.0 21.0 Foreign exchange gain — — — (11.3) (11.3) Other expense, net — — — 1.1 1.1 Net (loss) income before income taxes (6.4) 36.8 20.3 (28.3) 22.4 Income tax expense — — — 2.7 2.7 Net (loss) income $ (6.4) $ 36.8 $ 20.3 $ (31.0) $ 19.7 Solid Fuel Natural Gas Hydroelectric Corporate Consolidated Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 Project revenues $ 38.3 $ 64.5 $ 41.0 $ 0.5 $ 144.3 Segment assets 261.2 262.1 382.9 96.4 1,002.6 Project Adjusted EBITDA $ 18.4 $ 51.0 $ 34.9 $ 0.2 $ 104.5 Change in fair value of derivative instruments — 2.7 — 6.7 9.4 Depreciation and amortization 11.8 18.7 9.7 — 40.2 Interest, net 1.5 — — — 1.5 Other project expense — 1.2 — — 1.2 Project income (loss) 5.1 28.4 25.2 (6.5) 52.2 Administration — — — 11.8 11.8 Interest expense, net — — — 22.1 22.1 Foreign exchange loss — — — 9.9 9.9 Other expense, net — — — 0.9 0.9 Net income (loss) before income taxes 5.1 28.4 25.2 (51.2) 7.5 Income tax expense — — — 2.2 2.2 Net income (loss) $ 5.1 $ 28.4 $ 25.2 $ (53.4) $ 5.3 The tables below provide information, by country, about our consolidated operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 and for Property, Plant and Equipment, PPAs and other intangible assets and total assets as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Guarantees and Contingencies
Guarantees and Contingencies	13. Guarantees and Contingencies Guarantees We and our subsidiaries enter into various contracts that include indemnification and guarantee provisions as a routine part of our business activities. Examples of these contracts include asset purchases and sale agreements, joint venture agreements, operation and maintenance agreements, and other types of contractual agreements with vendors and other third parties, as well as affiliates. These contracts generally indemnify the counterparty for tax, environmental liability, litigation and other matters, as well as breaches of representations, warranties and covenants set forth in these agreements. Contingencies Fire at Cadillac project On September 22, 2019, the Cadillac project experienced a malfunction in its steam turbine that began a cascade of events, sparking a fire. The fire was contained by the local fire department and did not result in any injuries or known environmental violations. Physical Damage The biomass plant suffered significant damage to the turbine, generator and other components in that area of the plant as a result of the fire. The boiler, cooling tower, fuel pile and fuel handling equipment were not affected. Cadillac is expected to be offline for an extended period. Our insurance covers the repair or replacement of the assets that experienced loss or damage. The property damage deductible under the policies insuring the Cadillac assets is $1.0 million. Losses have exceeded the deductible under these insurance policies. We completed the reconstruction of Cadillac in late July 2020 and are now in the process of commissioning it. Business Interruption Our insurance policies also provide coverage for interruption to Cadillac’s business, including lost profits. The policies also reimburse for other expenses and costs it has incurred relating to the damages and loss it has suffered. The policies provide for coverage during the reconstruction period. The business interruption deductible under the policies insuring the Cadillac assets is 45 days of lost production, which we estimate had an approximate $1.4 million impact to cash flows from operations in the year ended December 31, 2019, the period when the deductible was fulfilled. Impact The fire resulted in a triggering event to test the Cadillac’s asset group for long-lived asset impairment. Based on our expectation of insurance recoveries and a full repair of the plant, we did not record an impairment at Cadillac because its estimated undiscounted future cash flows exceed the carrying value of the asset group at the date of the incident. Because the plant experienced significant damage and it is probable that insurance proceeds will be received in order to repair the facility, we applied accounting for gains and losses on involuntary conversions. Based on loss estimates and expenses incurred through September 30, 2020, we recorded a $25 million write-down of Cadillac’s property, plant and equipment and a $0.3 million write-down of capital spares inventory in the three months ended September 30, 2019. We also recorded a corresponding insurance receivable ($24.2 million), a component of other current assets, less the $1.0 million property damage deductible, which was recorded as a charge to other project income, because we believed that it was probable we would receive insurance recoveries up to our estimated plant write-down. As the plant was repaired, any costs incurred were capitalized to property, plant and equipment. During the three months ended December 31, 2019, we recorded an additional $0.6 million write-down of fuel inventory, with a corresponding increase to the insurance receivable. In the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded $15.6 million of capital additions related to repairs at Cadillac and cumulative additions of $20.7 million since the inception of the reconstruction. Insurance proceeds in excess of the net book value of the property, plant and equipment write-down, if any, would be recorded as a gain in the period those proceeds are received. During the year ended December 31, 2019, we received $11.3 million of insurance proceeds with respect to the fire at Cadillac, which were applied against the cumulative insurance receivable of $24.8 million. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received $12.7 million of insurance proceeds bringing the total cumulative proceeds received to $24 million. As of June 30, 2020, the insurance receivable balance totals $0.8 million. Additionally, we estimated anticipated insurance recoveries related to business interruption losses of $2.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2019 and $6.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020. Anticipated reimbursements for lost profits, or business interruption losses, are accounted for as a gain contingency because lost profits are not considered an incurred loss. Anticipated reimbursements for business interruption losses were not recorded as of June 30, 2020 as all contingencies related to these claims had not been resolved as of period end. We expect all contingencies related to business interruption losses to be resolved once final payment is received from the insurers, which is when we will recognize the reimbursements in earnings. The Cadillac biomass plant is a component of our Solid Fuel segment. General From time to time, Atlantic Power, its subsidiaries and the projects are parties to disputes and litigation that arise in the normal course of business. We assess our exposure to these matters and record estimated loss contingencies when a loss is likely and can be reasonably estimated. There are no matters pending which are expected to have a material adverse impact on our financial position or results of operations or have been reserved for as of June 30, 2020.

Leases

Leases [Abstract]
Leases	14. Leases Real estate leases and equipment leases We lease our office properties and equipment under operating leases expiring on various dates through 2024. Certain operating lease agreements include provisions for scheduled rent increases over their lease terms. We recognize the effects of these scheduled rent increases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. One of our leased office properties is sub-leased to third parties. The sub-lease is an operating lease and the rental income received is recorded net of rental expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. On January 1, 2019, we implemented FASB ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). To calculate lease liabilities on the implementation date, we utilized an incremental borrowing rate of 3.75%, which was our minimum all-in rate on the Term Loan Facility for the non-swapped portion of the remaining principal amount. The following table presents the components of lease expense. Three Months Ended June 30, Six Months Ended June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Lease cost: (1) Operating lease cost $ 0.5 $ 0.4 $ 1.1 $ 0.9 Short-term lease cost — 0.3 — 0.9 Sublease income (0.3) (0.3) (0.6) (0.6) Total lease cost $ 0.2 $ 0.4 $ 0.5 $ 1.2 (1) The following table presents operating and finance lease maturities and a reconciliation of the undiscounted cash flows to operating lease liabilities.

PPA Leases We have entered into PPAs to sell power at predetermined rates. PPAs were assessed as to whether they contain leases, which convey to the counterparty the right to control the use of the project’s property, plant and equipment in return for future payments. Such arrangements are classified as either operating or finance leases. We recognize lease income consistent with the recognition of energy sales and capacity revenue. When energy is delivered and capacity is provided, we recognize lease income as a component of energy sales and capacity revenue. Finance income related to leases or arrangements accounted for as finance leases is recognized in a manner that produces a constant rate of return on the net investment in the lease. The net investment is comprised of net minimum lease payments and unearned finance income. Unearned finance income is the difference between the total minimum lease payments and the carrying value of the leased property. Unearned finance income is deferred and recognized in net income (loss) over the lease term. We elected the practical expedient that permits us to retain our existing lease assessment and classification. As of June 30, 2020, we have ten PPAs accounted for as operating leases among our twenty-one projects in operation. No extension terms exist for our PPAs accounted for as leases and the remaining lease term varies from six months to twenty-four years . The following table provides lease income recorded as energy and capacity sales by segment from PPAs accounted for as operating leases: Rental Income from operating leases Rental Income from operating leases Three Months Ended Six Months Ended June 30, June 30, 2020 2019 2020 2019 Solid Fuel $ 15.2 $ 18.6 $ 32.0 $ 38.3 Natural Gas 6.1 5.8 12.0 11.9 Hydroelectric 17.9 22.5 36.2 41.0 $ 39.2 $ 46.9 $ 80.2 $ 91.2 For certain of our PPAs accounted for as leases, the lessee has the option to purchase the plant. In May 2019, we entered into an agreement to sell Manchief to Public Service Company of Colorado (“PSCo”) following the expiration of the PPA in April 2022 for $45.2 million subject to working capital and other customary adjustments. BC Hydro has an option to purchase Mamquam that is exercisable in November 2021 and every five-year anniversary thereafter.

Basis of presentation	Basis of presentation The interim condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been prepared in accordance with the SEC regulations for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. The following notes should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies and other disclosures as set forth in the notes to our financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements present fairly our consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2020, the results of operations and comprehensive (loss) income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, and our cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and other adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included.
Use of estimates	Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the year. Actual results could differ from those estimates. During the periods presented, we have made a number of estimates and valuation assumptions, including the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed in purchase accounting, the useful lives and recoverability of property, plant and equipment, valuation of goodwill, intangible assets and liabilities related to PPAs and fuel supply agreements, the recoverability of equity method investments, the recoverability of deferred tax assets, tax provisions, recovery of expected insurance proceeds, the fair value of financial instruments and derivatives, pension obligations, asset retirement obligations and equity-based compensation. In addition, estimates are used to test long-lived assets and goodwill for impairment and to determine the fair value of impaired assets. These estimates and valuation assumptions are based on present conditions and our planned course of action, as well as assumptions about future business and economic conditions. See “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
COVID-19 Pandemic	COVID-19 Pandemic There are many uncertainties regarding the ongoing coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic, and we are closely monitoring the impact of COVID-19 on all aspects of our business, including how it will impact our customers, employees, suppliers, vendors and business partners. We have taken extra precautions for our employees who continue to work at our facilities and have implemented work-from-home policies where appropriate. Currently, we do not anticipate any employee layoffs and are continuing to maintain our high level of reliability and availability of our plants. We continue to implement strong physical and cybersecurity measures to ensure that our systems remain functional in order to serve our operational needs with a remote workforce and to keep our operations running to ensure uninterrupted service to our offtakers.
Recently adopted and issued accounting standards	Recently adopted and issued accounting standards Accounting standards adopted In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments-Credit Losses”(Topic 326), Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments (“ASU 2016-13”). This guidance amends the guidance on measuring credit losses on financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 requires the measurement of all expected credit losses for financial assets held at the reporting date based on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts. This guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within those fiscal years. We adopted ASU 2016-13 on January 1, 2020 and it did not have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurements” to modify the disclosure requirements on fair value measurement disclosures. The guidance requires removals of certain disclosures, such as the amount of and reasons for transfers between level 1 and level 2 of fair value hierarchy and the policy for timing of transfers between levels. The guidance further requires modifications and additions surrounding the disclosures of level 3 fair value measurements and related unrealized gains and losses. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 and it did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-09, “Codification Improvements” to remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost-beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The scope of the guidance is broad and includes reporting comprehensive income, debt modifications and extinguishments and other sub topics. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We adopted this guidance on January 1, 2020 and it did not have an impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements. Accounting standards to be implemented In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, “Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans (Subtopic 715-20)”, to improve the effectiveness of benefit plan disclosures in the notes to financial statements by facilitating clear communication of the information required by GAAP that is most important to users of each entity’s financial statements. The amendments in this ASU modify the disclosure requirements for employers that sponsor defined benefit pension or other postretirement plans. Additionally, the amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. The amendments in this ASU are effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020, for public business entities and early adoption is permitted for all entities. We are currently evaluating the impact that adoption will have on our disclosures. In December 2019, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for income taxes through ASU 2019-12, “Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes.” The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions such as: 1) the incremental approach for intraperiod tax allocation when there is a loss from continuing operations and income or a gain from other items, 2) the requirement to recognize a deferred tax liability for equity method investments when a foreign subsidiary becomes an equity method investment, 3) the ability not to recognize a deferred tax liability for a foreign subsidiary when a foreign equity method investment becomes a subsidiary, and 4) the general methodology for calculating income taxes in an interim period when a year-to-date loss exceeds the anticipated loss for the year. For public entities, the amendments are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2020. Early adoption is permitted. We are in the process of evaluating the potential impact of the new guidance on our consolidated financial statements. In March 2020, the FASB issued amendments to the guidance for reference rate reform through ASU 2020-04, “Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848): Facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting.” The amendments in this update provide optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria are met. The amendments apply only to contracts and hedging relationships that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued due to reference rate reform. The expedients and exceptions provided by the amendments do not apply to contract modifications made and hedging relationships entered into or evaluated after December 31, 2022. The amendments are elective and are effective upon issuance for all entities. We

Schedule of current maturities	Current maturities consist of the following: June 30, December 31, 2020 2019 Interest Rate Current Maturities: Senior secured term loan facility, due 2025 (1) $ 83.0 $ 72.5 LIBOR (2) plus 2.50 % Cadillac term loan, due 2025 (3) 3.0 3.9 LIBOR plus 1.61 % Total current maturities $ 86.0 $ 76.4 (1) On a quarterly basis, we make a cash sweep payment to fund the principal balance, based on terms as defined in the term loan credit agreement. The portion of the senior secured term loan facility classified as current is based on principal payments required to reduce the aggregate principal amount of senior secured term loan outstanding to achieve a target principal amount that declines quarterly based on a pre-determined specified schedule. (2) London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) cannot be less than 1.00%. We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to mitigate the exposure to changes in LIBOR of the $345.0 million outstanding aggregate borrowings under our senior secured term loan facility at June 30, 2020. See Note 7, Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities for further details. (3) We have entered into interest rate swap agreements to economically fix our exposure to changes in interest rates for this non-recourse debt. See Note 7, Accounting for derivative instruments and hedging activities , for further details. (4) The Cadillac term loan credit agreement (the “Cadillac Term Loan”) contains various affirmative and negative covenants, including, among other things, the operation of the Cadillac plant, compliance with laws, incurrence of additional debt and restricted payments (as defined in the Cadillac Term Loan). One of the negative covenants requires the Cadillac project to meet certain key financial ratios, including a debt service coverage ratio (as defined in the Cadillac Term Loan). Beginning March 31, 2020, and as of June 30, 2020, we determined that the Cadillac project did not fulfill the debt service coverage ratio as required by the Cadillac Term Loan. Due to the breach of the covenant clause, the Cadillac project is prevented from making restricted payments (as defined in the Cadillac Term Loan) until several conditions are met, including, among other things, (i) the debt service coverage ratio for the most-recently ended period of four consecutive fiscal quarters is at least 1.2 to 1.0 and (ii) the projected debt service coverage ratio for the four consecutive fiscal quarters immediately following the period described in (i) is at least 1.2 to 1.0. We have not made any restricted payments (as defined in the Cadillac Term Loan) since July 31, 2019.
