Nature of the business [Abstract] | |
Nature of the business | Note 1.- Nature of the business Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc (“Atlantica” or the “Company”) is a sustainable infrastructure company with a majority of its business in renewable energy assets. Atlantica currently owns, manages and invests in renewable energy, storage, efficient natural gas and heat, electric transmission lines and water assets focused on North America (the United States, Canada and Mexico), South America (Peru, Chile, Colombia and Uruguay) and EMEA (Spain, Italy, Algeria and South Africa). Atlantica’s shares trade on the NASDAQ Global Select Market under the symbol “AY”. Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. (“Algonquin”) is the largest shareholder of the Company and owns a 43.6% stake in Atlantica as of December 31, 2021. Algonquin’s voting rights and rights to appoint directors are limited to 41.5% and the difference between Algonquin´s ownership and 41.5% will vote replicating non-Algonquin’s shareholders ’ During the year 2020, the Company completed the following investments: - On April 3, 2020, the Company made an initial investment in the creation of a renewable energy platform in Chile, together with financial partners, where it owns an approximately 35% stake and has a strategic investor role. The first investment was the acquisition of a 55 MW solar PV plant (“Chile PV 1”). The Company’s initial contribution was approximately $4 million. In addition, on January 6, 2021, the Company closed its second investment through the platform with the acquisition of a 40 MW solar PV plant (“Chile PV 2”). The total equity investment for this new asset was approximately $5.0 million. The platform intends to make further investments in renewable energy in Chile and sign Power Purchase Agreements (“PPAs” ) with credit worthy off-takers. - In January 2019, the Company entered into an agreement with Abengoa (references to “Abengoa” refer to Abengoa, S.A., together with its subsidiaries, or Abenewco1, S.A. together with its subsidiaries, unless the context otherwise requires) for the acquisition of a 51% stake in Tenes, a water desalination plant in Algeria. Closing of the acquisition was subject to certain conditions precedent, which were not fulfilled. On May 31, 2020, the Company entered into a new agreement, which provided the Company with certain additional decision rights, including the right to appoint the majority of directors of the board of Befesa Agua Tenes, and therefore controls the asset. - On August 17, 2020, the Company closed the acquisition of Liberty Interactive’s equity interest in Solana. Liberty Interactive was the tax equity investor in the Solana project. The total equity investment is expected to be up to $285 million of which $272 million has already been paid. In January 2021 the Company closed the acquisition of 42.5% of the equity of Rioglass Solar Holding S.A. (“Rioglass”) a supplier of spare parts and services to the solar industry, increasing its stake to 57.5%. In addition, on July 22, 2021 the Company exercised the option to acquire the remaining stake of 42.5%. The investment made in 2021 to acquire the additional 85% equity, resulting in a 100% ownership, was approximately $17.1 million (Note 5). On April 7, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of Coso, a 135 MW renewable asset in California. Coso is the third largest geothermal plant in the United States and provides base load renewable energy to the California Independent System Operator (California ISO). It has PPAs signed with an 18-year average contract life. The total equity investment was approximately $130 million (Note 5). In addition, on July 15, 2021, the Company repaid $40 million of project debt. On May 14, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of Calgary District Heating, a district heating asset of approximately 55 MWt in Canada for a total equity investment of approximately $22.7 million (Note 5). Calgary District Heating has been in operation since 2010 and provides heating services to a diverse range of government, institutional and commercial customers in the city of Calgary. On June 16, 2021, the Company acquired a 49% interest in a 596 MW portfolio of wind assets in the United States (Vento II) for a total equity investment net of cash consolidated at the transaction date of approximately $180.7 million (Note 7). EDP Renewables owns the remaining 51%. The assets have PPAs with investment grade off-takers with five-year average remaining contract life at the time of the investment. On August 6, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of Italy PV 1 and Italy PV 2, two solar PV plants in Italy with a combined capacity of 3.7 MW for a total equity investment of $9 million (Note 5). Italy PV 1 and Italy PV 2 have regulated revenues under a feed in tariff until 2030 and 2031, respectively. On November 25, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of La Sierpe, a 20 MW solar PV plant in Colombia for a total equity investment of approximately $23.5 million. The asset was acquired under a Right of First Offer (“ROFO”) agreement with Liberty GES. The Company also acquired two additional solar projects in Colombia which are currently in construction with a combined capacity of approximately 30 MW, La Tolua and Tierra Linda. On December 14, 2021, the Company closed the acquisition of Italy PV 3, a 2.5 MW solar PV portfolio in Italy for a total equity investment of approximately $4 million. Italy PV 3 has regulated revenues under a feed in tariff until 2032.

The Kaxu project financing arrangement contains cross-default provisions related to Abengoa such that debt defaults by Abengoa, subject to certain threshold amounts and/or a restructuring process, could trigger a default under the Kaxu project financing arrangement. The insolvency filing by the individual company Abengoa S.A. in February 2021 represents a theoretical event of default under the Kaxu project finance agreement. In September 2021, the Company obtained a waiver for such theoretical event of default which was conditional upon the replacement of the operation and maintenance supplier of the plant. On February 1, 2022, the Company transferred the employees performing the operation and maintenance services to an Atlantica subsidiary. The waiver has been extended until April 30, 2022 and is subject to the lenders receiving certain documentation from the Company, including formal evidence of the approval by the client and the department of energy of South Africa of the operation and maintenance internalization and the Company is currently working on obtaining such documentation. Although the Company does not expect the acceleration of debt to be declared by the credit entities, as of December 31, 2021 Kaxu did not have what International Accounting Standards define as an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the debt for at least twelve months, as the cross-default provisions make that right conditional. Therefore, Kaxu total debt (Note 15) has been presented as current in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of December 31, 2021 for an amount of $315 million, in accordance with International Accounting Standards 1 (“IAS 1”), “Presentation of Financial Statements”. Outbreak of COVID-19 The outbreak of the COVID-19 coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) was declared a pandemic by the World Health Organization in March 2020 and continues to spread in key markets of the Company. Main risks and uncertainties identified by the Company, which may affect its business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, are: - COVID-19 can affect the operation and maintenance activities of the Company. The Company may experience delays in certain operation and maintenance activities, or certain activities may take longer than usual. - The rapid increase in demand in 2021 after the slowdown in 2020 caused tensions in the supply chains, including delays to obtain some components and increased prices. If the Company was to experience a shortage of or inability to acquire critical spare parts, it could incur significant delays in returning facilities to full operation. Supply chain tensions may also affect its projects in development and construction where the Company can experience delays or an increase in prices of equipment and materials required for the construction of new assets. - The Company could also experience commercial disputes with its clients, suppliers and partners related to implications of COVID-19 in contractual relations. All the risks referred to can cause delays in distributions from its assets to the holding company. - Many governments have implemented and may continue to implement stimulus measures to reduce the negative impact of COVID-19 in the economy. In many cases, these measures may increase government spending which may translate into increased tax pressure on companies in the countries where the Company operates. Measures taken by the Company so far have focused on reinforcing safety measures in all its assets while it continues to provide a reliable service to its clients. For example, the Company has implemented the use of additional protection equipment, reinforced access control to its plants, reduced contact between employees, changed shifts, tested employees, identified and isolated potential cases together with their close contacts and taken additional measures to increase safety measures for its employees and operation and maintenance suppliers’ employees working at its assets. The Company has also reinforced its physical and cyber-security measures. The Company has implemented protocols to decide which offices to keep open and under what limitations, depending on health and safety indicators in each specific region. COVID-19 did not have any material impact on the business disclosed in these Consolidated Financial Statements. The Consolidated Financial Statements were approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on February 25, 2022. |

Significant accounting policies | Note 2.- Significant accounting policies 2.1 Basis of preparation These Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Amounts included in these Consolidated Financial Statements are all expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated. The Company presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset or liability is current when it is expected or due to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period. Application of new accounting standards a) Standards, interpretations and amendments effective from January 1, 2021 under IFRS-IASB, applied by the Company in the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements: The applications of these amendments have not had any impact on these financial statements. Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16. These amendments are mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021 under IFRS-IASB. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (“IBOR”) is replaced with an alternative risk-free interest rate (“RFR”). The amendments include the following practical expedients: - A practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest. - Permit changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued. The Company intends to use the practical expedients in future periods if they become applicable. b) Standards, interpretations and amendments published by the IASB that will be effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022: The Company does not anticipate any significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements derived from the application of the new standards and amendments that will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021, although it is currently still in the process of evaluating such application. The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Effect of IBOR reform Following the financial crisis, the reform and replacement of benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR and IBORs has become a priority for global regulators. There remains some uncertainty around the timing and precise nature of these changes. The Company currently has several contracts which reference LIBOR and extend beyond 2021. These contracts are disclosed within the tables below. It is currently expected that alternative RFRs will replace LIBOR. There remain key differences between LIBOR and RFRs. LIBOR is a ‘term rate’, which means that it is published for a borrowing period (such as three months or six months) and is ‘forward looking’, because it is published at the beginning of the borrowing period. RFRs may be based on overnight rates from actual transactions and published at the end of the overnight borrowing period. Furthermore, LIBOR includes a credit spread over the risk-free rate, which RFRs currently may not. To transition existing contracts and agreements that reference LIBOR to RFRs, adjustments for term differences and credit differences might need to be applied to RFRs, to enable the two benchmark rates to be economically equivalent on transition. At the time of reporting, industry working groups are reviewing methodologies for calculating adjustments between LIBOR and RFRs. Risks arising from the transition relate principally to the potential impact of rate differences if the debt and related hedging instruments do not transition to the new benchmark interest rate at the same time and/or the rates move by different amounts. This could result in hedge ineffectiveness and a net cash expense to the Company as a result of the IBOR transition. The following table contains details of the financial instruments that the Company holds as of December 31, 2021 which reference LIBOR and have not yet transitioned to RFRs: Carrying amount as of December 31, 2021 Assets Liabilities Non-derivative assets and liabilities referenced to LIBOR Measured at amortized cost Project debt - 1,068,501 Total non-derivatives items - 1,068,501 Derivatives - 62,571 Total assets and liabilities referenced to LIBOR - 1,131,072 The following table contains details of only the hedging instruments used in the Company's hedging strategies which reference LIBOR and have not yet transitioned to RFRs, such that relief(s) of phase 1 and phase 2 amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 for IBOR reform, effective January 1 st st Carrying amount as of December 31, 2021 Notional Assets Liabilities Balance sheet line item(s) 2021 changes in fair value used for calculating hedge ineffectiveness Cash flow hedge Interest rate swaps 939,670 - 62,571 Derivative liabilities 30,013 Total cash flow hedges 939,670 - 62,571 30,013 In calculating the change in fair value attributable to the hedged risk of floating-rate debt, the Company has made the following assumptions that reflect its current expectations: - The floating-rate debt will move to RFRs during 2022, and the spread will be similar to the spread included in the interest rate swap used as the hedging instrument; - No other changes to the terms of the floating-rate debt are anticipated; 2.2. Principles to include and record companies in the consolidated financial statements Companies included in these Consolidated Financial Statements are accounted for as subsidiaries as long as Atlantica has control over them and are accounted for as investments under the equity method as long as Atlantica has significant influence over them, in the periods presented. a) Controlled entities Control is achieved when the Company: • Has power over the investee; • Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and • Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee when facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. The Company uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations of companies previously controlled by a third party. According to this method, identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any contingent consideration is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequent changes in its fair value are recognized in accordance with IFRS 9 in profit or loss. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. The Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s net assets on an acquisition by acquisition basis. All assets and liabilities between entities of the group, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows relating to transactions between entities of the group are eliminated in full. b) Investments accounted for under the equity method An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized in the statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize changes in Atlantica´s share of net assets of the associate since the acquisition date. Any goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment separately. Controlled entities and associates included in these financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are set out in appendices. 2.3. Contracted concessional assets Contracted concessional assets correspond to the assets of the Company recorded as intangible or financial assets in accordance with IFRIC 12, property plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16 and financial asset in accordance with IFRS 16. The assets accounted for by the Company as concessions include renewable energy assets, transmission lines, efficient natural gas assets and water plants. The useful life of these assets is approximately the same as the length of the concession arrangement. The infrastructure used in a concession can be classified as an intangible asset or a financial asset, depending on the nature of the payment entitlements established in the agreement. The application of IFRIC 12 requires extensive judgement in relation to, among other factors, (i) the identification of certain infrastructures and contractual agreements in the scope of IFRIC 12, (ii) an understanding of the nature of the payments in order to determine the classification of the infrastructure as a financial asset or as an intangible asset and (iii) the timing and recognition of revenue from construction and concessionary activity. Under the terms of contractual arrangements within the scope of this interpretation, the operator shall recognize and measure revenue in accordance with IFRS 15 for the services it performs. a) Intangible asset The Company recognizes an intangible asset to the extent that it receives a right to charge final customers for the use of the infrastructure. This intangible asset is subject to the provisions of IAS 38 and is amortized linearly, taking into account the estimated period of commercial operation of the infrastructure which coincides with the concession period. Once the infrastructure is in operation, the treatment of income and expense is as follows: - Revenues from the updated annual revenue for the contracted concession, as well as revenues from operations and maintenance services are recognized in each period according to IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with Customers”. - Operating and maintenance costs and general overheads and administrative costs are recorded in accordance with the nature of the cost incurred (amount due) in each period. b) Financial asset The Company recognizes a financial asset when demand risk is assumed by the grantor, to the extent that the concession holder has an unconditional right to receive payments for the asset. This asset is recognized at the fair value of the construction services provided, considering upgrade services in accordance with IFRS 15, if any. The financial asset is subsequently recorded at amortized cost calculated according to the effective interest method, using a theoretical internal return rate specific to the asset. Revenue from operations and maintenance services is recognized in each period according to IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with Customers”. Allowance for expected credit losses According to IFRS 9, Atlantica recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. There are two main approaches to applying the ECL model according to IFRS 9: the general approach which involves a three stage approach, and the simplified approach, which can be applied to trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables. Atlantica applies the simplified approach. Under this approach, there is no need to monitor for significant increases in credit risk and entities will be required to measure lifetime expected credit losses at the end of each reporting period. The key elements of the ECL calculations, based on external sources of information, are the following: - the Probability of Default (“PD”) is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. Atlantica calculates PD based on Credit Default Swaps spreads (“CDS”); - the Exposure at Default (“EAD”) is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date; - the Loss Given Default (“LGD”) is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the Company would expect to receive. It is expressed as a percentage of the EAD. c) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is measured at historical cost, including all expenses directly attributable to the acquisition, less depreciation and impairment losses, with the exception of land, which is presented net of any impairment losses. Once the infrastructure is in operation, the treatment of income and expenses is the same as the one described above for intangible asset. d) Right-of-use assets Main right of use agreements correspond to land rights. The Company recognizes right-of-use assets under IFRS 16, at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities (Note 2.11). The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. e) R evenue Recognition According to IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in the contracts with the customers and identifies as a performance obligation each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services). In the case of contracts related to intangible or financial assets under IFRIC 12, the performance obligation of the Company is the operation of the asset. The contracts between the parties set the price of the service in an orderly transaction and therefore corresponds to the fair value of the service provided. The service is satisfied over time. The same conclusion applies to concessional assets that are classified as tangible assets under IAS 16 or leases under IFRS 16. All of the transaction prices of assets under IFRIC 12 are fixed and included as part of the long-term PPAs of the Company as disclosed in Appendix III-2. In the case of financial asset under IFRIC 12, the financial asset accounts for the payments to be received from the client over the residual life of the contract, discounted at a theoretical internal rate of return for the project. In each period, the financial asset is reduced by the amounts received from the client and increased by any capital expenditure that the project may incur and by the effect of unwinding the discount of the financial asset at the theoretical internal rate of return. The increase of the financial asset deriving from the unwinding of the discount of the financial asset is recorded as revenue in each period. Revenue will therefore differ from the actual billings made by the asset to the client in each period. In the case of Spain, according to Royal Decree 413/2014, solar electricity producers receive: (i) the market price for the power they produce, (ii) a payment based on the standard investment cost for each type of plant (without any relation whatsoever to the amount of power they generate) and (iii) an “operating payment” (in €/MWh produced). The principle driving this economic regime is that the payments received by a renewable energy producer should be equivalent to the costs that they are unable to recover on the electricity pool market where they compete with non-renewable technologies. This economic regime seeks to allow a “well-run and efficient enterprise” to recover the costs of building and running a plant, plus a reasonable return on investment (project investment rate of return). Some of the Company´s assets in Spain are receiving a remuneration based on a 7.09% reasonable rate of return until December 31, 2025 while others are receiving a remuneration based on a 7.398% reasonable rate of return until December 31, 2031. 2.4. Asset impairment Atlantica reviews its contracted concessional assets to identify any indicators of impairment at least annually, except for ECL assessment for financial assets which is discussed in note 2.3. When impairment indicators exist, the company calculates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, defined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be generated by the asset. In the event that the asset does not generate cash flows independently of other assets, the Company calculates the recoverable amount of the Cash Generating Unit (‘CGU’) to which the asset belongs. When the carrying amount of the CGU to which these assets belong is higher than its recoverable amount, the assets are impaired. Assumptions used to calculate value in use include a discount rate and projections considering real data based in the contracts terms and projected changes in both selling prices and costs. The discount rate is estimated by Management, to reflect both changes in the value of money over time and the risks associated with the specific CGU. For contracted concessional assets, with a defined useful life and with a specific financial structure, cash flow projections until the end of the project are considered and no relevant terminal value is assumed. Contracted concessional assets have a contractual structure that permits the Company to estimate quite accurately the costs of the project and revenue during the life of the project. Projections take into account real data based on the contract terms and fundamental assumptions based on specific reports prepared internally and third-party reports, assumptions on demand and assumptions on production. Additionally, assumptions on macro-economic conditions are taken into account, such as inflation rates, future interest rates, etc. and sensitivity analyses are performed over all major assumptions which can have a significant impact in the value of the asset. Cash flow projections of CGUs are calculated in the functional currency of those CGUs and are discounted using rates that take into consideration the risk corresponding to each specific country and currency. Taking into account that in most CGUs the specific financial structure is linked to the financial structure of the projects that are part of those CGUs, the discount rate used to calculate the present value of cash-flow projections is based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for the type of asset, adjusted, if necessary, in accordance with the business of the specific activity and with the risk associated with the country where the project is performed. In any case, sensitivity analyses are performed, especially in relation to the discount rate used and fair value changes in the main business variables, in order to ensure that possible changes in the estimates of these items do not impact the recovery of recognized assets. In the event that the recoverable amount of an asset is lower than its carrying amount, an impairment charge for the difference would be recorded in the income statement under the item “Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges”. An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the income statement. 2.5. Loans and accounts receivable Loans and accounts receivable are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments, not listed on an active market. In accordance with IFRIC 12, certain assets under concessions qualify as financial assets and are recorded as is described in Note 2.3. Pursuant to IFRS 9, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of these assets exceeds the present value of future cash flows discounted at the initial effective interest rate. Loans and accounts receivable are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest rate method. Interest calculated using the effective interest rate method is recognized under other financial income within financial income. 2.6. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities Derivatives are recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position. The Company maintains both derivatives designated as hedging instruments in hedging relationships, and derivatives to which hedge accounting is not applied. When hedge accounting is applied, hedging strategy and risk management objectives are documented at inception, as well as the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items. Effectiveness of the hedging relationship needs to be assessed on an ongoing basis. Effectiveness tests are performed prospectively at inception and at each reporting date. The Company analyses on each date if all these requirements are met: - there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; - the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship; and - the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Company actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Company uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. Ineffectiveness is measured following the accumulated dollar offset method. In all cases, current Company´s hedging relationships are considered cash flow hedges. Under this model, the effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded temporarily in equity and are subsequently reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects profit or loss. Any ineffective portion of the hedged transaction is recorded in the consolidated income statement as it occurs. When interest rate options are designated as hedging instruments, the time value is excluded from the hedging instrument as permitted by IFRS 9. Changes in the effective portion of the intrinsic are recorded in equity and subsequently reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects profit or loss. Any ineffectiveness is recorded as financial income or expense as it occurs. Changes in options time value is recorded as cost of hedging. More precisely, considering that the hedged items are, in all cases, time period hedged item, changes in time value is recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent that it relates to the hedged item. The time value at the date of designation of the option as a hedging instrument, to the extent that it relates to the hedged item, is amortized on a systematic and rational basis over the period during which the hedge adjustment for the option’s intrinsic value could affect profit or loss. When the hedging instrument matures or is sold, or when it no longer meets the requirements to apply hedge accounting, accumulated gains and losses recorded in equity remain as such until the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the income statement. However, if it becomes unlikely that the forecast transaction will actually take place, the accumulated gains and losses in equity are recognized immediately in the income statement. Any change in fair value of derivatives instruments to which hedge accounting is not applied is directly recorded in the income statement. 2.7. Fair value estimates Financial instruments measured at fair value are presented in accordance with the following level classification based on the nature of the inputs used for the calculation of fair value: - Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. - Level 2: Fair value is measured based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). - Level 3: Fair value is measured based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. In the event that prices cannot be observed, management shall make its best estimate of the price that the market would otherwise establish based on proprietary internal models which, in the majority of cases, use data based on observable market parameters as significant inputs (Level 2) but occasionally use market data that is not observed as significant inputs (Level 3). Different techniques can be used to make this estimate, including extrapolation of observable market data. The best indication of the initial fair value of a financial instrument is the price of the transaction, except when the value of the instrument can be obtained from other transactions carried out in the market with the same or similar instruments, or valued using a valuation technique in which the variables used only include observable market data, mainly interest rates. Differences between the transaction price and the fair value based on valuation techniques that use data that is not observed in the market, are not initially recognized in the income statement. Atlantica derivatives correspond primarily to the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, which are classified as Level 2. Description of the valuation method Interest rate swap valuations consist in valuing separately the swap part of the contract and the credit risk. The methodology used by the market and applied by Atlantica to value interest rate swaps is to discount the expected future cash flows according to the parameters of the contract. Variable interest rates, which are needed to estimate future cash flows, are calculated using the curve for the corresponding currency and extracting the implicit rates for each of the reference dates in the contract. These estimated flows are discounted with the swap zero curve for the reference period of the contract. The effect of the credit risk on the valuation of the interest rate swaps depends on the future settlement. If the settlement is favorable for the Company, the counterparty credit spread will be incorporated to quantify the probability of default at maturity. If the expected settlement is negative for the Company, its own credit risk will be applied to the final settlement. Classic models for valuing interest rate swaps use deterministic valuation of the future of variable rates, based on future outlooks. When quantifying credit risk, this model is limited by considering only the risk for the current paying party, ignoring the fact that the derivative could change sign at maturity. A payer and receiver swaption model is proposed for these cases. This enables the associated risk in each swap position to be reflected. Thus, the model shows each agent’s exposure, on each payment date, as the value of entering into the ‘tail’ of the swap, i.e. the live part of the swap. Variables (Inputs) Interest rate derivative valuation models use the corresponding interest rate curves for the relevant currency and underlying reference in order to estimate the future cash flows and to discount them. Market prices for deposits, futures contracts and interest rate swaps are used to construct these curves. Interest rate options (caps and floors) also use the volatility of the reference interest rate curve. To estimate the credit risk of the counterparty, the credit default swap (CDS) spreads curve is obtained in the market for important individual issuers. For less liquid issuers, the spreads curve is estimated using comparable CDSs or based on the country curve. To estimate proprietary credit risk, prices of debt issues in the market and CDSs for the sector and geographic location are used. The fair value of the financial instruments that results from the aforementioned internal models takes into account, among other factors, the terms and conditions of the contracts and observable market data, such as interest rates, credit risk and volatility. The valuation models do not include significant levels of subjectivity, since these methodologies can be adjusted and calibrated, as appropriate, using the internal calculation of fair value and subsequently compared to the corresponding actively traded price. However, valuation adjustments may be necessary when the listed market prices are not available for comparison purposes. 2.8. Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are amounts due from customers for sales in the normal course of business. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less allowance for doubtful accounts. Trade receivables due in less than one year are carried at their face value at both initial recognition and subsequent measurement, provided that the effect of not discounting flows is not significant. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover all amounts due as per the original terms of the receivables. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. 2.9. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, cash in bank and other highly-liquid current investments with an original maturity of three months or less which are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments. 2.10. Grants Grants are recognized at fair value when it is considered that there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that the necessary qualifying conditions, as agreed with the entity assigning the grant, will be adequately complied with. Grants are recorded as liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position and are recognized in “Other operating income” in the consolidated income statement based on the period necessary to match them with the costs they intend to compensate. In addition, as described in Note 2.11 below, grants correspond also to loans with interest rates below market rates, for the initial difference between the fair value of the loan and the proceeds received. 2.11. Loans and borrowings Loans and borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost and any difference between the proceeds initially received (net of transaction costs incurred in obtaining such proceeds) and the repayment value is recognized in the consolidated income statement over the duration of the borrowing using the effective interest rate method. In the case of modification of terms of loans and borrowings, the Company determines whether the modification constitutes an exchange or an extinguishment of the debt instrument. In determining whether there is an exchange, the Company evaluates whether the redemption of the old debt and the issuance of new debt were negotiated in contemplation of one another (qualitative assessment) and performs the 10 per cent test to determine if the terms of the modified debt are substantially different (the net present value of the modified |

Financial risk management [Abstract] | |
Financial risk management | Note 3.- Financial risk management Atlantica’s activities are exposed to various financial risks: market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Risk is managed by the Company’s Risk Finance and Compliance Departments, which are responsible for identifying and evaluating financial risks quantifying them by project, region and company, in accordance with mandatory internal management rules. Written internal policies exist for global risk management, as well as for specific areas of risk. In addition, there are official written management regulations regarding key controls and control procedures for each company and the implementation of these controls is monitored through internal audit procedures. a) Market risk The Company is exposed to market risk, such as movement in foreign exchange rates and interest rates. All of these market risks arise in the normal course of business and the Company does not carry out speculative operations. For the purpose of managing these risks, the Company uses a series of interest rate swaps and options, and currency options. None of the derivative contracts signed has an unlimited loss exposure. - Interest rate risk Interest rate risk arises when the Company’s activities are exposed to changes in interest rates, which arises from financial liabilities at variable interest rates. The main interest rate exposure for the Company relates to the variable interest rate with reference to the Libor, Euribor and RFRs. To minimize the interest rate risk, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and interest rate options (caps), which, in exchange for a fee, offer protection against an increase in interest rates. The Company does not use derivatives for speculative purposes. As a result, the notional amounts hedged, strikes contracted and maturities, depending on the characteristics of the debt on which the interest rate risk is being hedged, are very diverse, including the following: o Project debt in Euros: the Company hedges between 75% and 100% of the notional amount with headges maturing up to 2038 and average guaranteed strike interest rates of between 0.00% and 4.87%. o Project debt in U.S. dollars: the Company hedges between 75% and 100% of the notional amount with headges maturing up to 2038 and average guaranteed strike interest rates of between 0.86% and 5.89%. In connection with the interest rate derivative positions of the Company, the most significant impacts on these Consolidated Financial Statements are derived from the changes in EURIBOR or LIBOR, which represent the reference interest rate for most of the debt of the Company. In the event that Euribor and Libor had risen by 25 basis points as of December 31, 2021, with the rest of the variables remaining constant, the effect in the consolidated income statement would have been a loss of $2,495 thousand (a loss of $2,897 thousand in 2020 and a loss of $2,745 thousand in 2019) and an increase in hedging reserves of $22,440 thousand ($22,130 thousand in 2020 and $27,570 thousand in 2019). The increase in hedging reserves would be mainly due to an increase in the fair value of interest rate swaps designated as hedges. A breakdown of the interest rates derivatives as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, is provided in Note 9. - Currency risk The main cash flows in the entities included in these Consolidated Financial Statements are cash collections arising from long-term contracts with clients and debt payments arising from project finance repayment. Given that financing of the projects is always closed in the same currency in which the contract with client is signed, a natural hedge exists for the main operations of the Company. In addition, the Company policy is to contract currency options with leading financial institutions, which guarantee a minimum Euro-U.S. dollar exchange rate on the net distributions expected from solar assets in Spain. The net Euro exposure is 100% hedged for the coming 12 months and 75% for the following 12 months on a rolling basis. b) Credit risk The Company considers that it has a limited credit risk with clients as revenues primarily derive from power purchase agreements with electric utilities and state-owned entities. c) Liquidity risk Atlantica’s liquidity and financing policy is intended to ensure that the Company maintains sufficient funds to meet its financial obligations as they fall due. Project finance borrowing permits the Company to finance the project through project debt and thereby insulate the rest of its assets from such credit exposure. The Company incurs in project-finance debt on a project-by-project basis. The repayment profile of each project is established on the basis of the projected cash flow generation of the business. This ensures that sufficient financing is available to meet deadlines and maturities, which mitigates the liquidity risk significantly. Corporate and Project debt repayment schedules are disclosed in Note 14 and 15, respectively. |

Financial information by segment [Abstract] | |
Financial information by segment | Note 4.- Financial information by segment Atlantica’s segment structure reflects how management currently makes financial decisions and allocates resources. Its operating and reportable segments are based on the following geographies where the contracted concessional assets are located: North America, South America and EMEA. In addition, based on the type of business, as of December 31, 2021, the Company had the following business sectors: Renewable energy, Efficient natural gas and Heat, Transmission lines and Water. The business sector “Efficient natural gas” has been renamed “Efficient natural gas and Heat” in these Consolidated Financial Statements as it includes the Calgary District Heating asset acquired in May 2021 (Note 5). Atlantica’s Chief Operating Decision Maker (CODM), which is the CEO, assesses the performance and assignment of resources according to the identified operating segments. The CODM considers the revenue as a measure of the business activity and the Adjusted EBITDA as a measure of the performance of each segment. Adjusted EBITDA is calculated as profit/(loss) for the year attributable to the parent company, after adding back loss/(profit) attributable to non-controlling interest, income tax expense, financial expense (net), depreciation, amortization and impairment charges of entities included in the these Consolidated Financial Statements and depreciation and amortization, financial expense and income tax expense of unconsolidated affiliates (pro rata of Atlantica's equity ownership). Adjusted EBITDA previously excluded share of profit/(loss) of associates carried under the equity method and did not include depreciation and amortization, financial expense and income tax expense of unconsolidated affiliates (pro-rata of Atlantica’s equity ownership). Prior periods have been presented accordingly. In order to assess performance of the business, the CODM receives reports of each reportable segment using revenue and Adjusted EBITDA. Net interest expense evolution is assessed on a consolidated basis. Financial expense and amortization are not taken into consideration by the CODM for the allocation of resources. In the year ended December 31, 2021, Atlantica had one customer with revenues representing more than 10% of total revenue, in the renewable energy business sector. In the year ended December 31, 2020, Atlantica had four customers with revenues representing more than 10% of the total revenue, three in the renewable energy and one in the efficient natural gas and heat business sectors. a) The following tables show Revenues and Adjusted EBITDA by operating segments and business sectors for the years 2021, 2020 and 2019: Revenue Adjusted EBITDA For the year ended December 31, For the year ended December 31, Geography 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 North America 395,775 330,921 332,965 311,803 279,365 307,242 South America 154,985 151,460 142,207 119,547 120,023 115,346 EMEA 660,989 530,879 536,280 393,038 396,735 398,967 Total 1,211,749 1,013,260 1,011,452 824,388 796,123 821,555 Revenue Adjusted EBITDA For the year ended December 31, For the year ended December 31, Business sectors 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 Renewable energy 928,525 753,089 761,090 602,583 576,285 604,080 Efficient natural gas & Heat 123,692 111,030 122,281 99,935 101,006 109,200 Transmission lines 105,680 106,042 103,453 83,635 87,272 85,657 Water 53,852 43,099 24,629 38,235 31,560 22,618 Total 1,211,749 1,013,260 1,011,452 824,388 796,123 821,555 The reconciliation of segment Adjusted EBITDA with the profit/(loss) attributable to the parent company is as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Profit/(loss) attributable to the Company (30,080 ) 11,968 62,135 Profit attributable to non-controlling interests 19,162 4,906 12,473 Income tax expense 36,220 24,877 30,950 Financial expense, net 340,892 331,810 402,348 Depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges 439,441 408,604 310,755 Depreciation and amortization, financial expense and income tax expense of unconsolidated affiliates (pro rata of Atlantica's equity ownership) 18,753 13,958 2,894 Total segment Adjusted EBITDA 824,388 796,123 821,555 b) The assets and liabilities by geography and business sector at the end of 2021 and 2020 are as follows: Assets and liabilities by geography as of December 31, 2021: North America South America EMEA Balance as of December 31, 2021 Assets allocated Contracted concessional assets 3,355,669 1,231,276 3,434,623 8,021,568 Investments carried under the equity method 253,221 -

Had the acquisitions been consolidated from January 1, 2021, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income would have included additional revenue of $17.7 million and additional profit after tax of $3.3 million. For the year ended December 31, 2020 On April 3, 2020, the Company completed the investment in a 35% stake in a renewable energy platform in Chile for approximately $4 million and the acquisition of Chile PV 1, a 55 MW solar PV plant, through the platform. Atlantica has control over Chile PV 1 under IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements. The acquisition of Chile PV 1 had been accounted for in these Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations, showing 65% of non-controlling interest. Chile PV 1 is included within the Renewable energy sector and the South America geography. On May 31, 2020, the Company obtained the right to appoint the majority of directors of the board of Befesa Agua Tenes, which owns a 51% stake in Tenes, and therefore controls the asset, a water desalination plant in Algeria. The total investment amounted to approximately $19 million as of May 31, 2020. The acquisition had been accounted for in the Consolidated Financial Statements of Atlantica, in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations, showing 49% of non-controlling interest. Tenes is included within the Water sector and the EMEA geography. The fair value of assets and liabilities consolidated at the effective acquisition date is shown in the following table: Business combinations for the year ended December 31, 2020 Contracted concessional assets (Note 6) 172,321 Other non-current assets 356 Cash & cash equivalents 17,646 Other current assets 31,421 Non-current Project debt (Note 15) (149,585 ) Current Project debt (Note 15) (8,680 ) Other current and non-current liabilities (15,561 ) Non-controlling interests (25,308 ) Total net assets acquired at fair value 22,610 Asset acquisition - purchase price (22,610 ) Net result of business combinations - The purchase price equalled the fair value of the net assets acquired. The amount of revenue contributed by the acquisitions performed during 2020 to the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for the year 2020 was $22.5 million, and the amount of profit after tax was $6.3 million. Had the acquisitions been consolidated from January 1, 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income would have included additional revenue of $14.7 million and additional profit after tax of $3.7 million. In April and May 2021, the provisional period for the purchase price allocation of Chile PV 1 and Tenes, respectively, closed and did not result in significant adjustments to the initial amounts recognized. |

Contracted concessional assets [Abstract] | |
Contracted concessional assets | Note 6.- Contracted concessional assets Contracted concessional assets correspond to the assets of the Company recorded as intangible or financial assets in accordance with IFRIC 12, property plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16 and financial asset in accordance with IFRS 16. For further details on the application of IFRIC 12 to assets of the Company, see Appendix III. a) The following table shows the movements of assets included in the heading “Contracted Concessional assets” for 2021: Cost Financial assets under IFRIC 12 Financial assets under IFRS 16 (Lessor) Intangible assets under IFRIC 12 Intangible assets under IFRS 16 (Lessee) Property, plant and equipment under IAS 16 and other intangible assets under IAS 38 Total assets Total as of January 1, 2021 936,837 2,941 9,467,309 66,230 350,720 10,824,037 Additions 922 442 40,383 2,459 14,204 58,410 Subtractions - - (348 ) - (21,282 ) (21,630 ) Business combinations (Note 5) - - - 19,148 522,932 542,080 Currency translation differences (9,519 ) (540 ) (334,497 ) (5,019 ) (20,703 ) (370,278 ) Reclassification and other movements (53,715 ) - 29,692 - 10,539 (13,484 ) Total cost 874,525 2,843 9,202,539 82,818 856,410 11,019,135 Depreciation, amortization and impairment Financial assets under IFRIC 12 Financial assets under IFRS 16 (Lessor) Intangible assets under IFRIC 12 Intangible assets under IFRS 16 (Lessee) Property, plant and equipment under IAS 16 and other intangible assets under IAS 38 Total assets Total as of January 1, 2021 (87,689 ) - (2,442,520 ) (10,060 ) (128,350 ) (2,668,619 ) Additions (418 ) - (424,181 ) (4,759 ) (31,003 ) (460,361 ) Reversal of impairment 24,929 - - - - 24,929 Currency translation differences 289 - 97,356 714 8,125 106,484 Total depreciation, amortization and impairment (62,889 ) - (2,769,345 ) (14,105 ) (151,228 ) (2,997,567 ) The increase in the contracted concessional assets cost is primarily due to business combinations for a total amount of $542 million (Note 5), partially offset by the lower value of the Euro denominated assets since the exchange rate of the Euro decreased against the U.S. dollar since December 31, 2020. This increase is mainly offset by the amortization charge for the year and the impairment registered in Solana (see below). The decrease included in “Reclassification and other movement” is mainly due to the reclassification from the long to the short term of the current portion of the contracted concessional financial assets. Solana triggering event of impairment Considering the delays in the improvements and replacements that the Company is carrying out in the storage system in Solana and their impact on production in 2021, as well as an increase in the discount rate, the Company identified an impairment triggering event, in accordance with IAS 36, Impairment of assets. As a result, an impairment test has been performed which resulted in the recording of an impairment loss of $43 million as of December 31, 2021. The impairment has been recorded within the line “Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges” of the consolidated income statement, decreasing the amount of “Contracted concessional assets” pertaining to the Renewable energy sector and the North America geography. The recoverable amount considered is the value in use and amounts to $943 million for Solana, as of December 31, 2021. A specific discount rate has been used in each year considering changes in the debt/equity leverage ratio over the useful life of this project, resulting in the use of a range of discount rates between 4.5% and 5.0%. An adverse change in the key assumptions which are individually used for the valuation could lead to future impairment recognition; specifically, a 5% decrease in generation over the entire remaining useful life (PPA) of the project would generate an additional impairment of approximately $69 million. An increase of 50 basis points in the discount rate would lead to an additional impairment of approximately $41 million. The Company did not identify any other triggering event of impairment of its contracted concessional assets as of December 31, 2021. Expected credit losses The impairment provision based on the expected credit losses on contracted concessional financial assets, calculated in accordance with IFRS 9, Financial instruments, decreased by $25 million in the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily in ACT following an improvement of its client’s credit risk metrics. b) The following table shows the movements of assets included in the heading “Contracted Concessional assets” for 2020: Cost Financial assets under IFRIC 12 Financial assets under IFRS 16 (Lessor) Intangible assets under IFRIC 12 Intangible assets under IFRS 16 (Lessee) Property, plant and equipment under IAS 16 and other intangible assets under IAS 38 Total assets Total as of January 1, 2020 872,945 3,459 9,183,011 60,618 264,564 10,384,597 Additions - - 29,213 1,832 4,310 35,355 Subtractions - - (71,706 ) (954 ) (223 ) (72,883 ) Business combinations (Note 5) 102,560 - - 385 63,916 166,861 Currency translation differences (8,166 ) (163 ) 326,791 4,349 18,153 340,964 Reclassification and other movements (30,502 ) (355 ) - - - (30,857 ) Total cost 936,837 2,941 9,467,309 66,230 350,720 10,824,037 Depreciation, amortization and impairment Financial assets under IFRIC 12 Financial assets under IFRS 16 (Lessor) Intangible assets under IFRIC 12 Intangible assets under IFRS 16 (Lessee) Property, plant and equipment under IAS 16 and other intangible assets under IAS 38 Total assets Total as of January 1, 2020 (57,258 ) - (2,055,946 ) (6,585 ) (103,679 ) (2,223,468 ) Additions (27,111 ) - (338,393 ) (3,527 ) (15,958 ) (384,989 ) Subtractions - - 17,571 634 49 18,253 Reversal of impairment - - 18,787 - - 18,787 Business combinations (Note 5) (3,797 ) - - - - (3,797 ) Currency translation differences 476 - (84,538 ) (581 ) (8,762 ) (93,405 ) Total depreciation, amortization and impairment (87,689 ) - (2,442,520 ) (10,060 ) (128,350 ) (2,668,619 ) During 2020, the cost of contracted concessional assets increased primarily due to the effect of the appreciation of the Euro against the U.S. dollar for the year ended December 31,2020, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019, and to the acquisition of new concessional assets (Note 5). This increase was mainly offset by the amortization charge for the year and the write-off registered in Solana (see below). The decrease included in “Reclassification and other movements” was mainly due to the reclassification from the long to the short term of the current portion of the contracted concessional financial assets. Solana storage system partial write-off The availability in the storage system of Solana was lower than expected in 2020 due to certain leaks identified in the storage system in the first quarter. The Company identified some elements of the storage system to be replaced, which were written off in these Consolidated Financial Statements through profit and loss in the line “Depreciation, amortization, and impairment charges” for an estimated net book value of approximately $48 million. Solana triggering event of impairment The Company identified in 2020 a triggering event of impairment for Solana as a result of the underperformance of the plant in terms of production. The Company therefore performed an impairment test as of December 31, 2020, which resulted in the recoverable amount (value in use) exceeding the carrying amount of the asset by 10%. To determine the value in use of the asset, a specific discount rate had been used in each year considering changes in the debt/equity leverage ratio over the useful life of this project, resulting in the use of a range of discount rates between 3.8% and 4.3%. An adverse change in the key assumptions which are individually used for the valuation would not have led to future impairment recognition; neither in case of a 5% decrease in generation over the entire remaining useful life (PPA) of the project nor in case of an increase of 50 basis points in the discount rate. Change in the useful life of the solar plants in Spain Further to the recent developments in the Energy and Climate Policy Framework adopted by Spain in 2020, the Company concluded that the expected deep transformation of the electricity sector in Spain would probably significantly reduce the market price at which the electricity is sold in the mid- to long-term. In particular, the Company believed this may impact the price captured by the Company’s solar plants in Spain after the end of the regulation in place (2035 to 2038 onwards). As a result, the price captured by the plants after 2035 to 2038 (the end of the 25 years regulatory period) would likely not be sufficient to cover operating costs. In this case, the plants would stop operating and be dismantled at that point in time. The Company believed that it was possible that long-term price evolution and technology changes could result in scenarios where the plants may continue to operate after the end of the regulatory period. Nevertheless, given the information currently available, the Company decided to reduce the useful life of the CSP plants in Spain from 35 years to 25 years after COD. This change of estimate of the useful life, effective September 1st, 2020, was accounted for as a change in accounting estimate in accordance with IAS 8, Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors. The main impacts recorded prospectively in these Consolidated Financial Statements were: - an increased amortization charge from September 1 st - an increase in the discounted value of the dismantling provision, as the dismantling of the plants would occur earlier. The provision increased by approximately $13 million as of December 31, 2020 (Note 16). In addition, reducing the useful life of the solar plants in Spain was a triggering event of impairment, given that the recoverable amount of the asset is negatively impacted if the plants stop operating in year 25 after COD. The Company therefore performed an impairment test as of December 31, 2020, which resulted in the recoverable amount (value in use) exceeding the carrying amount of the assets by 6%. To determine the value in use of the assets, a specific discount rate had been used in each year considering changes in the debt/equity leverage ratio over the useful life of these projects, resulting in the use of a range of discount rates between 3.3% and 3.8%. An adverse change in the key assumptions which were individually used for the valuation would not have led to future impairment recognition; neither in case of a 5% decrease in generation over the entire remaining useful life of the projects nor in case of an increase of 50 basis points in the discount rate. Palmatir and Cadonal impairment reversals As part of the triggering event analysis performed for Palmatir and Cadonal assets in 2020, the Company identified factors, such as a reduced discount rate according to favorable market conditions, increasing their recoverable amount (value in use). The Company therefore performed an impairment test as of December 31, 2020, which resulted in the reversal of impairments previously recorded, for an amount of $15.6 million and $3.1 million in Cadonal and Palmatir, respectively, recorded within the line “Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges” of the profit and loss statement. No losses from impairment of contracted concessional assets, excluding any change in the provision for expected credit losses under IFRS 9, Financial instruments, were recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020. The impairment provision based on the expected credit losses on contracted concessional financial assets increased by $29 million in the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily in ACT. |

Derivative financial instruments | Note 9.- Derivative financial instruments The breakdowns of the fair value amount of the derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows: Balance as of December 31, 2021 Balance as of December 31, 2020 Assets Liabilities Assets Liabilities Interest rate cash flow hedge 9,550 206,763 898 302,302 Foreign exchange derivatives instruments 3,410 - 661 - Notes conversion option (Note 14) - 16,690 - 25,882 Total 12,960 223,453 1,559 328,184 The derivatives are primarily interest rate cash-flow hedges. All are classified as non-current assets or non-current liabilities, as they hedge long-term financing agreements. As stated in Note 3 to these Consolidated Financial Statements, the general policy is to hedge variable interest rates of financing agreements using two types of hedging derivatives: - Interest rate swaps under which the Company receives the floating leg and pays the fixed leg; and - Purchased call options (cap), in exchange of a premium to fix the maximum interest rate cost. The notional amounts hedged, strikes contracted and maturities, depending on the characteristics of the debt on which the interest rate risk is being hedged, can be diverse: - Project debt in Euros: the Company hedges between 75% and 100% of the notional amount, with hedges maturing up to 2038 and average guaranteed interest rate of between 0.00% and 4.87%. - Project debt in U.S. dollars: the Company hedges between 75% and 100% of the notional amount, with hedges maturing up to 2038 and average guaranteed interest rate of between 0.86% and 5.89%.

The after-tax result accumulated in equity in connection with derivatives designated as cash flow hedges at the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, amount to a $171,272 thousand gain and a $96,641 thousand gain, respectively. Additionally, the Company has currency options with leading international financial institutions, which guarantee minimum Euro-U.S. dollar exchange rates. The strategy of the Company is to hedge the exchange rate for the net distributions from its European assets after deducting euro-denominated interest payments and euro-denominated general and administrative expenses. Through currency options, the strategy of the Company is to hedge 100% of its euro-denominated net exposure for the next 12 months and 75% of its euro denominated net exposure for the following 12 months, on a rolling basis. Change in fair value of these foreign exchange derivatives instruments are directly recorded in the consolidated income statement. Finally, the conversion option of the Green Exchangeable Notes issued in July 2020 (Note 14) is recorded as a derivative with a negative fair value (liability) of $17 million as of December 31, 2021 ($26 million as of December 31, 2020). |

Related parties | Note 10.- Related parties The related parties of the Company are primarily Algonquin and its subsidiaries, non-controlling interests (Note 13), entities accounted for under the equity method (Note 7) and Directors and the Senior Management of the Company. Details of balances with related parties as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows: Balance as of December 31, 2021 2020 Credit receivables (current) 19,387 23,067 Credit receivables (non-current) 15,768 10,082 Total receivables from related parties 35,155 33,149 Credit payables (current) 9,494 18,477 Credit payables (non-current) 5 6,810 Total payables to related parties 9,499 25,287 Current credit receivables as of December 31, 2021 mainly correspond to the short-term portion of the loan to Arroyo Netherland II B.V., the holding company of Pemcorp SAPI de CV., Monterrey´s project company (Note 7) for $10.0 million ($15.5 million as of December 31, 2020) and to a dividend to be collected from Amherst Island Partnership for $6.3 million ($4.3 million as of December 31, 2020). Non-current credit receivables as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 correspond to the long-term portion of the loan to Arroyo Netherland II B.V. Credit payables relate to debts with non-controlling partners in Kaxu, Solaben 2 & 3 and Solacor 1 & 2 for an amount of $3.4 million as of December 31, 2021 ($21.1 million as of December 31, 2020). The decrease is primarily due to debt repayment at Kaxu. Current credit payables also include the dividend to be paid by AYES Canada to Algonquin for $6.1 million as of December 31, 2021 ($4.2 million as of December 31, 2020). The transactions carried out by entities included in these Consolidated Financial Statements with related parties not included in the consolidation perimeter of Atlantica, for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 have been as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Financial income 2,069 2,017 978 Financial expense (97 ) (155 ) (195 ) The total amount of the remuneration received by the Board of Directors of the Company, including the CEO, amounts to $4.6 million in 2021 ($3.4 million in 2020), including $1.0 million of annual bonus ($1.0 million in 2020) and $1.9 million of long-term award vested in 2021 ($0.8 million in 2020). The increase of the total remuneration in 2021 is mainly due to the increase of the long-term award, as a result of the vesting in 2021 of one-third of the share options awarded in 2020 and the increase of Atlantica’s share price. None of the directors received any pension remuneration in 2021 nor 2020. |

Equity [Abstract] | |
Equity | Note 13.- Equity As of December 31, 2021, the share capital of the Company amounts to $11,240,297 ($10,667,087 as of December 31, 2020) represented by 112,402,973 ordinary shares (106,670,866 shares as of December 31, 2020) fully subscribed and disbursed with a nominal value of $0.10 each, all in the same class and series. Each share grants one voting right. Algonquin owns 43.6% of the shares of the Company and is its largest shareholder as of December 31,2021. On December 11, 2020 the Company closed an underwritten public offering of 5,069,200 ordinary shares, including 661,200 ordinary shares sold pursuant to the full exercise of the underwriters’ over-allotment option, at a price of $33 per new share. Gross proceeds were approximately $167 million. Given that the offering was issued through a subsidiary in Jersey, which became wholly owned by the Company at closing, and subsequently liquidated, the premium on issuance was credited to a merger reserve account (Capital reserves), net of issuance costs, for $161 million. Additionally, Algonquin committed to purchase 4,020,860 ordinary shares During the first quarter of 2021, the Company changed the accounting treatment applied to its existing long-term incentive plans granted to employees from cash-settled to equity-settled in accordance with IFRS 2, Share-based Payment, as a result of incentives being settled in shares. The liability recognized for the rights vested by the employees under such plans at the date of this change, was reclassified to equity within the line “Accumulated deficit” for approximately $9 million. The settlement in shares was approved by the Board of Directors on February 26, 2021, and the Company issued 141,482 new shares to its employees up to December 31, 2021, to settle a portion of these plans. On August 3, 2021, the Company established an “at-the-market program” (the “ATM”) and entered into the distribution agreement with J.P. Morgan Securities LLC, as sales agent, (the “Distribution Agreement”) under which the Company may offer and sell from time to time up to $150 million of its ordinary shares. The Company also entered into an agreement with Algonquin pursuant to which the Company has offered Algonquin the right but not the obligation, on a quarterly basis, to purchase a number of ordinary shares to maintain its percentage interest in Atlantica at the average price of the shares sold under the Distribution Agreement in the previous quarter (the “ATM Plan Letter Agreement”). During the year 2021, the Company sold 1,613,079 shares at an average market price of $38.43 pursuant to its Distribution Agreement, representing net proceeds of $61 million. Pursuant to the ATM Plan Letter Agreement, the Company delivers a notice to Algonquin quarterly in order for them to exercise their rights thereunder. Atlantica´s reserves as of December 31, 2021 are made up of share premium account and capital reserves. The share premium account reduction by $200 million during the year 2021, increasing capital reserves by the same amount, was made effective upon the confirmation received from the High Court in the UK, pursuant to the Companies Act 2006. Other reserves primarily include the change in fair value of cash flow hedges and its tax effect. Accumulated currency translation differences primarily include the result of translating the financial statements of subsidiaries prepared in a foreign currency into the presentation currency of the Company, the U.S. dollar. Accumulated deficit primarily includes results attributable to Atlantica. Non-controlling interests fully relate to interests held by JGC in Solacor 1 and Solacor 2, by Idae in Seville PV, by Itochu Corporation in Solaben 2 and Solaben 3, by Algerian Energy Company, SPA and Sacyr Agua S.L. in Skikda , by Algerian Energy Company, SPA in Tenes, by Industrial Development Corporation of South Africa (IDC) and Kaxu Community Trust in Kaxu, by Algonquin Power Co. in AYES Canada, and by partners of the Company in the Chilean renewable energy platform in Chile PV 1 and Chile PV 2.

Project debt [Abstract] | |
Project debt | Note 15.- Project debt This note shows the project debt linked to the contracted concessional assets included in Note 6 of these Consolidated Financial Statements. Project debt is generally used to finance contracted assets, exclusively using as a guarantee the assets and cash flows of the company or group of companies carrying out the activities financed. In most of the cases, the assets and/or contracts are set up as a guarantee to ensure the repayment of the related financing. In addition, the cash of the Company´s projects includes funds held to satisfy the customary requirements of certain non-recourse debt agreements and other restricted cash for an amount of $254 million as of December 31, 2021 ($280 million as of December 31, 2020). The variations in 2021 of project debt has been the following: Project debt - long term Project debt - short term Total Balance as of December 31, 2020 4,925,268 312,346 5,237,614 Increases 54,908 256,581 311,489 Decreases (85,259 ) (564,603 ) (649,862 ) Business combinations (Note 5) 288,352 38,781 327,133 Currency translation differences (140,502 ) (49,679 ) (190,181 ) Reclassifications (655,093 ) 655,093 - Balance as of December 31, 2021 4,387,674 648,519 5,036,193 The decrease in total project debt as of December 31, 2021 is primarily due to: - the repayment of project debt for the period in accordance with the financing arrangements; and - the lower value of debt denominated in Euros given the depreciation of the Euro against the U.S. dollar since December 31, 2020. The decrease of project debt during the year 2021 has been partially offset by the business combinations, being the acquisitions of Rioglass, Coso, Chile PV 2, Italy PV 1 and Italy PV 3 for a total amount of $327 million (Note 5). Interest accrued are offset by a similar amount of interest paid during the year. The Kaxu project financing arrangement contains cross-default provisions related to Abengoa such that debt defaults by Abengoa, subject to certain threshold amounts and/or a restructuring process, could trigger a default under the Kaxu project financing arrangement. The insolvency filing by the individual company Abengoa S.A. in February 2021 represents a theoretical event of default under the Kaxu project finance agreement. In September 2021, the Company obtained a waiver for such theoretical event of default which was conditional upon the replacement of the operation and maintenance supplier of the plant. On February 1, 2022, the Company transferred the employees performing the operation and maintenance services to an Atlantica subsidiary. The waiver has been extended until April 30, 2022 and is subject to the lenders receiving certain documentation from the Company, including formal evidence of the approval by the client and the department of energy of South Africa of the operation and maintenance internalization and the Company is currently working on obtaining such documentation. Although the Company does not expect the acceleration of debt to be declared by the credit entities, as of December 31, 2021 Kaxu did not have what International Accounting Standards define as an unconditional right to defer the settlement of the debt for at least twelve months, as the cross-default provisions make that right conditional. Therefore, Kaxu total debt, previously presented as non-current as of December 31, 2020, has been presented as current in the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company as of December 31, 2021 for an amount of $315 million (Note 1). The variations in 2020 of project debt were the following: Project debt - long term Project debt - short term Total Balance as of December 31, 2019 4,069,909 782,439 4,852,348 Increases 613,604 268,339 881,943 Decreases (272,548 ) (552,770 ) (825,318 ) Business combinations (Note 5) 149,585 8,680 158,265 Currency translation differences 150,506 19,869 170,375 Reclassifications 214,211 (214,211 ) - Balance as of December 31, 2020 4,925,268 312,346 5,237,614 The increase in total project debt as of December 31, 2020 was primarily due to: - business combinations, being the acquisition of Chile PV 1 and Tenes for a total amount of $158 million (Note 5). - a green project financing agreement entered into by Logrosán Solar Inversiones, S.A.U., the holding company of assets Solaben 1, 2, 3 and 6 in Spain, closed on April 8, 2020 for a €140 million nominal amount, (approximately $159 million). - a non-recourse project debt refinancing of Helioenergy assets by adding a new long dated tranche of debt from an institutional investor closed on July 10, 2020, providing with a net refinancing proceeds (net “recap”) of approximately $43 million. - a non-recourse, project debt financing closed on July 14, 2020 for approximately €326 million (approximately $371 million) in relation to Helios, with institutional investors, which refinanced the previous bank project debt with approximately €250 million outstanding and canceled legacy interest rate swaps. After transaction costs and cancelation of legacy swaps, net refinancing proceeds (net “recap”) were approximately $30 million. The accumulated impact of the change in fair value of the interest rate swaps recorded in Other reserves and any difference between the nominal amount of the debt repaid and the amortized cost of the debt were transferred to the profit and loss in line “Other financial income/(expense), net” on transaction date for a total amount of $73 million (Note 21). - the higher value of debt denominated in Euro given the increase in the exchange rate of the Euro against the U.S. dollar since December 31, 2019. The increase of project debt during the year 2020 was partially offset by the contractual payments of debt for the year. Interest accrued were offset by a similar amount of interest paid during the year. Additionally, on June 12, 2020 the Company refinanced the debt of Cadonal (Uruguay). The terms of the new debts were not substantially different from the original debts refinanced and therefore the exchange of debts instruments did not qualify for an extinguishment of the original debts under IFRS 9, ´Financial instruments´. When there is a refinancing with a non-substantial modification of the original debt, there is a gain or loss recorded in the income statement. This gain or loss is equal to the difference between the present value of the cash flows under the original terms of the former financing and the present value of the cash flows under the new financing, discounted both at the original effective interest rate. In this respect, the Company recorded a $3.8 million financial income in the profit and loss statement of the Consolidated Financial Statements (Note 21). Due to the PG&E Corporation and its regulated utility subsidiary, Pacific Gas and Electric Company (“PG&E”), Chapter 11 filings in January 2019, a default of the PPA agreement with PG&E occurred. On July 1, 2020, PG&E emerged from Chapter 11 and the technical event of default was cured. As a result, as of December 31, 2020 the debt previously presented as current (during the year 2019) was reclassified as non-current in accordance with the financing agreements in these Consolidated Financial Statements. The repayment schedule for project debt in accordance with the financing arrangements and assuming there will be no acceleration at the Kaxu debt as of December 31, 2021, is as follows and is consistent with the projected cash flows of the related projects: 2022 2023 2024 2025 2026 Subsequent years Total Interest payment Nominal repayment 18,017 317,388 355,956 369,528 498,712 411,514 3,065,078 5,036,193 The repayment schedule for project debt in accordance with the financing arrangements as of December 31, 2020, is as follows and is consistent with the projected cash flows of the related projects: 2021 2022 2023 2024 2025 Subsequent years Total Interest payment Nominal repayment 19,287 293,059 328,364 355,806 371,548 508,843 3,360,707 5,237,614 The following table details the movement in project debt for the years 2021 and 2020, split between cash and non-cash items: Project Debt 2021 2020 Initial balance 5,237,614 4,852,348 Cash changes (636,831 ) (254,495 ) Non-cash changes 435,410 639,761 Final balance 5,036,193 5,237,614 The non-cash changes primarily relate to interest accrued, currency translation differences and the business combinations for the year. The equivalent in U.S. dollars of the foreign currency-denominated debts held by the Company is as follows: Balance as of December 31, Currency 2021 2020 Euro 1,942,903 2,240,811 South African Rand 314,471 355,414 Algerian Dinar 97,877 115,606 Total 2,355,251 2,711,830 All of the Company’s financing agreements have a carrying amount close to its fair value. |

Grants and other liabilities | Note 16.- Grants and other liabilities Grants and other liabilities as of December 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are as follows: Balance as of December 31, 2021 2020 Grants 970,557 1,028,765 Other liabilities 293,187 201,002 Grant and other non-current liabilities 1,263,744 1,229,767 As of December 31, 2021, the amount recorded in Grants corresponds primarily to the ITC Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to Solana and Mojave for a total amount of $642 million ($674 million as of December 31, 2020), which was primarily used to fully repay the Solana and Mojave short-term tranche of the loan with the Federal Financing Bank. The amount recorded in Grants as a liability is progressively recorded as other income over the useful life of the asset. The remaining balance of the “Grants” account corresponds to loans with interest rates below market rates for Solana and Mojave for a total amount of $326 million ($352 million as of December 31, 2020). Loans with the Federal Financing Bank guaranteed by the Department of Energy for these projects bear interest at a rate below market rates for these types of projects and terms. The difference between proceeds received from these loans and its fair value, is initially recorded as “Grants” in the consolidated statement of financial position, and subsequently recorded in “Other operating income” starting at the entry into operation of the plants. Total amount of income for these two types of grants for Solana and Mojave is $58.7 million and $58.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively (Note 20). Other liabilities mainly include: - $59 million of lease liabilities ($52 million as of December 31, 2020); - $125 million of dismantling provision as of December 31, 2021 ($88 million as of December 31, 2020); and - $75 million of provision related to the current high market prices in Spain at which the solar assets in Spain invoiced electricity up to December 31, 2021 ($0.6 million as of December 31, 2020), as a result of a negative adjustment to the regulated revenues expected to be recorded progressively over the remaining regulatory life of the solar assets of the Company, as a compensation. |

Income Tax [Abstract] | |
Income Tax | Note 18.- Income Tax All the companies of Atlantica file income taxes according to the tax regulations in force in each country on an individual basis or under consolidation tax regulations. The consolidated income tax has been calculated as an aggregation of income tax expenses/income of each individual company. In order to calculate the taxable income of the consolidated entities individually, the accounting result is adjusted for temporary and permanent differences, recording the corresponding deferred tax assets and liabilities. At each consolidated income statement date, a current tax asset or liability is recorded, representing income taxes currently refundable or payable. Deferred income taxes reflect the net tax effects of temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities for financial statement and income tax purposes, as determined under enacted tax laws and rates. Income tax payable is the result of applying the applicable tax rate in force to each tax-paying entity, in accordance with the tax laws in force in the country in which the entity is registered. Additionally, tax deductions and credits are available to certain entities, primarily relating to inter-company trades and tax treaties between various countries to prevent double taxation. The Company offsets deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities in each entity where the latter has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities, and the deferred tax assets and liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority. As of December 31, 2021, and 2020, the analysis of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities is as follows: Deferred tax assets Balance as of December 31, from 2021 2020 Net operating loss carryforwards (“NOL´s”) 323,115 497,184 Temporary tax non-deductible expenses 128,186 115,063 Derivatives financial instruments 55,217 83,847 Other 4,225 3,021 Total deferred tax assets 510,743 699,115 Deferred tax liabilities Balance as of December 31, from 2021 2020 Accelerated tax amortization 465,219 652,600 Other difference between tax and book value of assets 180,218 154,969 Other 1,897 179 Total deferred tax liabilities 647,334 807,748 After offsetting deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, where applicable Consolidated balance sheets classifications Balance as of December 31, 2021 2020 Deferred tax assets 172,268 152,290 Deferred tax liabilities 308,859 260,923 Net deferred tax liabilities 136,591 108,633 Most of the NOL´s recognized as deferred tax assets corresponds to the entities in the U.S., South Africa, Peru, Chile and Spain as of December 31, 2021 and 2020. As of December 31, 2021, deferred tax assets for non-deductible expenses are primarily due to the temporary limitation of financial expenses deductibles for tax purposes in the solar plants in Spain for $97 million ($110 million as of December 31, 2020). Deferred tax assets for derivatives financial instruments as of December 31, 2021 mainly relate to ACT for $14 million and to solar plants in Spain for $33 million ($22 million and $51 million as of December 31, 2020, respectively). As of December 31, 2021, deferred tax liabilities for accelerated tax amortization are primarily in the solar plants in Spain for $186 million, Solana and Mojave for $184 million and Kaxu for $76 million ($202 million, $361 million and $90 million as of December 31, 2020, respectively). Deferred tax liabilities for other temporary differences between the tax and book value of contracted concessional assets relate primarily to ACT for $72 million, the Peruvian entities for $34 million, U.S. entities for $28 million, and the Chilean entities for $27 million as of December 31, 2021 ($75 million, $32 million, $2 million and $29 million as of December 31, 2020, respectively). In relation to tax losses carryforwards and deductions pending to be used recorded as deferred tax assets, the entities evaluate their recoverability projecting forecasted taxable result for the upcoming years and taking into account their tax planning strategy. Deferred tax liabilities reversals are also considered in these projections, as well as any limitation established by tax regulations in force in each tax jurisdiction. In addition, the Company has $259 million unrecognized net operating loss carryforwards as of December 31, 2021 ($290 million as of December 31, 2020), as it considers it is not probable that future taxable profits will be available against which these unused tax losses can be utilized. The movements in deferred tax assets and liabilities during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows: Deferred tax assets Amount As of December 31, 2019 147,966 Increase/(decrease) through the consolidated income statement 6,003 Increase/(decrease) through other consolidated comprehensive income (equity) (8,698) Currency translation differences and other 7,019 As of December 31, 2020 152,290 Increase/(decrease) through the consolidated income statement 46,855 Increase/(decrease) through other consolidated comprehensive income (equity) (23,712 ) Business combinations (Note 5) 4,410 Currency translation differences and other (7,575) As of December 31, 2021 172,268 Deferred tax liabilities Amount As of December 31, 2019 248,996 Increase/(decrease) through the consolidated income statement 9,675 Currency translation differences and other 2,252 As of December 31, 2020 260,923 Increase/(decrease) through the consolidated income statement 32,059 Business combinations (Note 5) 4,910 Currency translation differences and other 10,967 As of December 31, 2021 308,859 Details of income tax for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 are as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Current tax (51,016 ) (21,205 ) (5,081 ) Deferred tax 14,796 (3,672 ) (25,869 ) - relating to the origination and reversal of temporary differences 14,796 (3,672 ) (25,869 ) Total income tax expense (36,220 ) (24,877 ) (30,950 ) The reconciliation between the theoretical income tax resulting from applying an average statutory tax rate to profit before income tax and the actual income tax expense recognized in the consolidated income statements for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020, and 2019, is as follows: For the year ended December 31, 2021 2020 2019 Consolidated income before taxes 25,302 41,751 105,558 Average statutory tax rate 25 % 25 % 25 % Corporate income tax at average statutory tax rate (6,326 ) (10,438 ) (26,390 ) Income tax of associates, net 3,076 128 1,808 Differences in statutory tax rates (3,359 ) (94 ) (7,076 ) Unrecognized NOLs and deferred tax assets (11,232 ) (37,183 ) (14,161 ) Purchase of Liberty Interactive’s equity interest in Solana - 36,352 - Other permanent differences (4,052 ) (8,895 ) 11,220 Other non-taxable income/(expense) (14,327 ) (4,747 ) 3,649 Corporate income tax (36,220 ) (24,877 ) (30,950 ) For the year ended December 31, 2021, the overall effective tax rate was different than the average statutory rate of 25% primarily due to unrecognized tax losses carryforwards, mainly in the UK entities and to provisions recorded for potential tax contingencies in some jurisdictions. For the year ended December 31, 2020, the overall effective tax rate was different than the average statutory rate of 25% primarily due to unrecognized tax losses carryforwards, mainly in the UK entities, partially offset by the non-taxable gain recorded in the Consolidated Financial Statements on the purchase of Liberty Interactive’s equity interest in Solana (Note 21). For the year ended December 31, 2019, the overall effective tax rate was different than the average statutory rate of 25%, primarily due to unrecognized tax losses carryforwards, mainly in the UK and US entities. Any uncertain tax positions identified by the Company as of December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 has been provided for in these Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IFRIC 23, uncertainty over income tax treatments. |

The increase primarily relates to Coso and Rioglass, which are businesses acquired by the Company in 2021 (Note 5). Corporate debt guarantees The payment obligations under the Green Senior Notes, the Revolving Credit Facility, the Note Issuance Facility 2020 and the 2020 Green Private Placement are guaranteed on a senior unsecured basis by following subsidiaries of the Company: Atlantica Infraestructura Sostenible, S.L.U., Atlantica Peru, S.A., ACT Holding, S.A. de C.V., Atlantica Investments Limited, Atlantica Newco Limited and Atlantica North America LLC. The Revolving Credit Facility and the 2020 Green Private Placement are also secured with a pledge over the shares of the subsidiary guarantors. Legal Proceedings In 2018, an insurance company covering certain Abengoa obligations in Mexico claimed certain amounts related to a potential loss. Atlantica reached an agreement under which Atlantica´s maximum theoretical exposure would in any case be limited to approximately $35 million, including $2.5 million to be held in an escrow account. In January 2019, the insurance company called on this $2.5 million from the escrow account and Abengoa reimbursed this amount. The insurance company could claim additional amounts if they faced new losses after following a process agreed between the parties and, in any case, Atlantica would only make payments if and when the actual loss has been confirmed and after arbitration if the Company initiates it. The Company used to have indemnities from Abengoa for certain potential losses, but such indemnities are no longer valid following the insolvency filing by Abengoa S.A. in February 2021. In addition, during 2021, several lawsuits were filed related to the February 2021 winter storm Uri in Texas against among others Electric Reliability Council of Texas (ERCOT), two utilities in Texas and more than 230 individual power generators, including Post Oak Wind, LLC, the project company owner of Lone Star I, one of the wind assets in Vento II where the Company currently has a 49% equity interest. The basis for the lawsuit is that the defendants failed to properly prepare for cold weather, including failure to implement measures and equipment to protect against cold weather, and failed to properly conduct their operations before and during the storm. Atlantica is not a party to any other significant legal proceedings other than legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. Atlantica is party to various administrative and regulatory proceedings that have arisen in the ordinary course of business. While Atlantica does not expect these proceedings, either individually or in combination, to have a material adverse effect on its financial position or results of operations, because of the nature of these proceedings Atlantica is not able to predict their ultimate outcomes, some of which may be unfavorable to Atlantica. |

The increase in 2020 compared to 2019 was primarily due to the internalization of operation and maintenance services in the U.S. solar assets of the Company, following the acquisition of ASI Operations in July 2019. Other operating income and expenses The table below shows the detail of Other operating income and expenses for the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019: For the year ended December 31, Other operating income 2021 2020 2019 Grants 60,746 59,010 59,142 Insurance proceeds and other 13,925 40,515 34,632 Total 74,670 99,525 93,774 For the year ended December 31, Other operating expenses 2021 2020 2019 Raw materials and consumables used (70,690 ) (7,792 ) (9,719 ) Leases and fees (9,332 ) (2,531 ) (1,850 ) Operation and maintenance (154,007 ) (110,873 ) (116,018 ) Independent professional services (39,177 ) (40,193 ) (41,579 ) Supplies (40,790 ) (27,926 ) (25,823 ) Insurance (45,429 ) (37,638 ) (23,971 ) Levies and duties (29,949 ) (39,820 ) (34,844 ) Other expenses (24,957 ) (9,891 ) (7,971 ) Total (414,330 ) (276,666 ) (261,776 ) Grants income mainly relate to ITC cash grants and implicit grants recorded for accounting purposes in relation to the FFB loans with interest rates below market rates in Solana and Mojave projects (Note 16).

Interest on loans and notes primarily include interest on corporate and project debt. The decrease in 2020 compared to 2019 is primarily due to the acquisition of Liberty Interactive’s equity interest in Solana in August 2020, which was accounted for as a liability in these Consolidated Financial Statements, in accordance with IAS 32. Losses from interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges primarily correspond to transfers from equity to financial expense when the hedged item impacts the consolidated income statement. Net exchange differences Net exchange differences primarily correspond to realized and unrealized exchange gains and losses on transactions in foreign currencies as part of the normal course of the business of the Company. Other financial income/(expense), net The following table sets out Other financial income/(expense), net for the years 2021, 2020 and 2019: For the year ended December 31, Other financial income/(expense), net 2021 2020 2019 Other financial income 32,321 162,290 14,152 Other financial losses (16,571 ) (121,415 ) (15,305 ) Total 15,750 40,875 (1,153 ) Other financial income in 2021 include $7.6 million of income for non-monetary change to the fair value of derivatives of Kaxu for which hedge accounting is not applied, and $9.2 million income further to the change in the fair value of the conversion option of the Green Exchangeable Notes since December 2020 (Note 14). Residual items primarily relate to interest on deposits and loans, including non-monetary changes to the amortized cost of such loans. The decrease of other financial income compared to the year 2020 is primarily due to the gain of $145 million further to the purchase of Liberty Interactive´s equity interest in Solana accounted for in the third quarter of 2020. Other financial losses include guarantees and letters of credit, other bank fees, non-monetary changes to the fair value of derivatives which hedge accounting is not applied and of financial instruments recorded at fair value through profit and loss, and other minor financial expenses. The decrease compared to the year 2020 is primarily due to $73 million of financial expenses further to the refinancing of the Helios 1&2 debts accounted for in the third quarter of 2020 (Note 15) and a $16 million expense further to the change in the fair value of the conversion option of the Green Exchangeable Notes in 2020 (Note 14). |

Earnings per share | Note 22.- Earnings per share Basic earnings per share have been calculated by dividing the profit/(loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company by the average number of outstanding shares. Diluted earnings per share for the year 2021 have been calculated considering the potential issuance of 3,347,305 shares on the settlement of the Green Exchangeable Notes (Note 14) and the potential issuance of 725,041 shares to Algonquin under the agreement signed on August 3, 2021, according to which Algonquin has the option, on a quarterly basis, to subscribe such number of shares to maintain its percentage in Atlantica in relation to the use of the ATM program (Note 13). Diluted earnings per share for the year 2020 was calculated considering the potential issuance of 3,347,305 shares on settlement of the Green Exchangeable Notes. Diluted earnings per share equal basic earnings per share for the year 2019.

Other information | Note 23.- Other information 23.1 Restricted Net assets Certain of the consolidated entities are restricted from remitting certain funds to Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc. as a result of a number of regulatory, contractual or statutory requirements. These restrictions are mainly related to standard requirements to maintain debt service coverage ratios and other requirements from the financing arrangements. At December 31, 2021, the accumulated amount of the temporary restrictions for the entire restricted term of these affiliates was $326 million. The Company performed a test on the restricted net assets of consolidated subsidiaries in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X Rule 12-04 and concluded the restricted net assets did not exceed 25% of the consolidated net assets of the Company as of December 31, 2021. Therefore, separate financial statements of Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure, plc. do not have to be presented. 23.2 Subsequent events On January 17, 2022, the Company closed the acquisition of Chile TL4, a 63-mile transmission line and 2 substations in Chile for a total equity investment of $39 million. The Company expects to make an expansion of the line in 2022, which would represent an additional investment of approximately $8 million. The asset has fully contracted revenues in US dollars, with inflation escalation and 50-year contract life. The off-takers are several mini-hydro plants that receive contracted or regulated payments. On February 25, 2022, the Board of Directors of the Company approved a dividend of $0.44 per share, which is expected to be paid on March 25, 2022. |

Significant accounting policies [Abstract] | |
Basis of preparation | 2.1 Basis of preparation These Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency. Amounts included in these Consolidated Financial Statements are all expressed in thousands of U.S. dollars, unless otherwise indicated. The Company presents assets and liabilities in the statement of financial position based on current/non-current classification. An asset or liability is current when it is expected or due to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period. Application of new accounting standards a) Standards, interpretations and amendments effective from January 1, 2021 under IFRS-IASB, applied by the Company in the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements: The applications of these amendments have not had any impact on these financial statements. Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Phase 2: Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16. These amendments are mandatory for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021 under IFRS-IASB. The amendments provide temporary reliefs which address the financial reporting effects when an interbank offered rate (“IBOR”) is replaced with an alternative risk-free interest rate (“RFR”). The amendments include the following practical expedients: - A practical expedient to require contractual changes, or changes to cash flows that are directly required by the reform, to be treated as changes to a floating interest rate, equivalent to a movement in a market rate of interest. - Permit changes required by IBOR reform to be made to hedge designations and hedge documentation without the hedging relationship being discontinued. The Company intends to use the practical expedients in future periods if they become applicable. b) Standards, interpretations and amendments published by the IASB that will be effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022: The Company does not anticipate any significant impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements derived from the application of the new standards and amendments that will be effective for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021, although it is currently still in the process of evaluating such application. The Company has not early adopted any standard, interpretation or amendment that has been issued but is not yet effective. Effect of IBOR reform Following the financial crisis, the reform and replacement of benchmark interest rates such as LIBOR and IBORs has become a priority for global regulators. There remains some uncertainty around the timing and precise nature of these changes. The Company currently has several contracts which reference LIBOR and extend beyond 2021. These contracts are disclosed within the tables below. It is currently expected that alternative RFRs will replace LIBOR. There remain key differences between LIBOR and RFRs. LIBOR is a ‘term rate’, which means that it is published for a borrowing period (such as three months or six months) and is ‘forward looking’, because it is published at the beginning of the borrowing period. RFRs may be based on overnight rates from actual transactions and published at the end of the overnight borrowing period. Furthermore, LIBOR includes a credit spread over the risk-free rate, which RFRs currently may not. To transition existing contracts and agreements that reference LIBOR to RFRs, adjustments for term differences and credit differences might need to be applied to RFRs, to enable the two benchmark rates to be economically equivalent on transition. At the time of reporting, industry working groups are reviewing methodologies for calculating adjustments between LIBOR and RFRs. Risks arising from the transition relate principally to the potential impact of rate differences if the debt and related hedging instruments do not transition to the new benchmark interest rate at the same time and/or the rates move by different amounts. This could result in hedge ineffectiveness and a net cash expense to the Company as a result of the IBOR transition. The following table contains details of the financial instruments that the Company holds as of December 31, 2021 which reference LIBOR and have not yet transitioned to RFRs: Carrying amount as of December 31, 2021 Assets Liabilities Non-derivative assets and liabilities referenced to LIBOR Measured at amortized cost Project debt - 1,068,501 Total non-derivatives items - 1,068,501 Derivatives - 62,571 Total assets and liabilities referenced to LIBOR - 1,131,072 The following table contains details of only the hedging instruments used in the Company's hedging strategies which reference LIBOR and have not yet transitioned to RFRs, such that relief(s) of phase 1 and phase 2 amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 for IBOR reform, effective January 1 st st Carrying amount as of December 31, 2021 Notional Assets Liabilities Balance sheet line item(s) 2021 changes in fair value used for calculating hedge ineffectiveness Cash flow hedge Interest rate swaps 939,670 - 62,571 Derivative liabilities 30,013 Total cash flow hedges 939,670 - 62,571 30,013 In calculating the change in fair value attributable to the hedged risk of floating-rate debt, the Company has made the following assumptions that reflect its current expectations: - The floating-rate debt will move to RFRs during 2022, and the spread will be similar to the spread included in the interest rate swap used as the hedging instrument; - No other changes to the terms of the floating-rate debt are anticipated; |
Principles to include and record companies in the consolidated financial statements | 2.2. Principles to include and record companies in the consolidated financial statements Companies included in these Consolidated Financial Statements are accounted for as subsidiaries as long as Atlantica has control over them and are accounted for as investments under the equity method as long as Atlantica has significant influence over them, in the periods presented. a) Controlled entities Control is achieved when the Company: • Has power over the investee; • Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee; and • Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns. The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee when facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above. The Company uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations of companies previously controlled by a third party. According to this method, identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. Any contingent consideration is recognized at fair value at the acquisition date and subsequent changes in its fair value are recognized in accordance with IFRS 9 in profit or loss. Acquisition related costs are expensed as incurred. The Company recognizes any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquirer’s net assets on an acquisition by acquisition basis. All assets and liabilities between entities of the group, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows relating to transactions between entities of the group are eliminated in full. b) Investments accounted for under the equity method An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control over those policies. The results and assets and liabilities of associates are incorporated in these financial statements using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized in the statement of financial position at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize changes in Atlantica´s share of net assets of the associate since the acquisition date. Any goodwill relating to the associate is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not tested for impairment separately. Controlled entities and associates included in these financial statements as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 are set out in appendices. |
Contracted concessional assets | 2.3. Contracted concessional assets Contracted concessional assets correspond to the assets of the Company recorded as intangible or financial assets in accordance with IFRIC 12, property plant and equipment in accordance with IAS 16 and financial asset in accordance with IFRS 16. The assets accounted for by the Company as concessions include renewable energy assets, transmission lines, efficient natural gas assets and water plants. The useful life of these assets is approximately the same as the length of the concession arrangement. The infrastructure used in a concession can be classified as an intangible asset or a financial asset, depending on the nature of the payment entitlements established in the agreement. The application of IFRIC 12 requires extensive judgement in relation to, among other factors, (i) the identification of certain infrastructures and contractual agreements in the scope of IFRIC 12, (ii) an understanding of the nature of the payments in order to determine the classification of the infrastructure as a financial asset or as an intangible asset and (iii) the timing and recognition of revenue from construction and concessionary activity. Under the terms of contractual arrangements within the scope of this interpretation, the operator shall recognize and measure revenue in accordance with IFRS 15 for the services it performs. a) Intangible asset The Company recognizes an intangible asset to the extent that it receives a right to charge final customers for the use of the infrastructure. This intangible asset is subject to the provisions of IAS 38 and is amortized linearly, taking into account the estimated period of commercial operation of the infrastructure which coincides with the concession period. Once the infrastructure is in operation, the treatment of income and expense is as follows: - Revenues from the updated annual revenue for the contracted concession, as well as revenues from operations and maintenance services are recognized in each period according to IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with Customers”. - Operating and maintenance costs and general overheads and administrative costs are recorded in accordance with the nature of the cost incurred (amount due) in each period. b) Financial asset The Company recognizes a financial asset when demand risk is assumed by the grantor, to the extent that the concession holder has an unconditional right to receive payments for the asset. This asset is recognized at the fair value of the construction services provided, considering upgrade services in accordance with IFRS 15, if any. The financial asset is subsequently recorded at amortized cost calculated according to the effective interest method, using a theoretical internal return rate specific to the asset. Revenue from operations and maintenance services is recognized in each period according to IFRS 15 “Revenue from contracts with Customers”. Allowance for expected credit losses According to IFRS 9, Atlantica recognizes an allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) for all debt instruments not held at fair value through profit or loss. ECLs are based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due in accordance with the contract and all the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. There are two main approaches to applying the ECL model according to IFRS 9: the general approach which involves a three stage approach, and the simplified approach, which can be applied to trade receivables, contract assets and lease receivables. Atlantica applies the simplified approach. Under this approach, there is no need to monitor for significant increases in credit risk and entities will be required to measure lifetime expected credit losses at the end of each reporting period. The key elements of the ECL calculations, based on external sources of information, are the following: - the Probability of Default (“PD”) is an estimate of the likelihood of default over a given time horizon. Atlantica calculates PD based on Credit Default Swaps spreads (“CDS”); - the Exposure at Default (“EAD”) is an estimate of the exposure at a future default date; - the Loss Given Default (“LGD”) is an estimate of the loss arising in the case where a default occurs at a given time. It is based on the difference between the contractual cash flows due and those that the Company would expect to receive. It is expressed as a percentage of the EAD. c) Property, plant and equipment Property, plant and equipment is measured at historical cost, including all expenses directly attributable to the acquisition, less depreciation and impairment losses, with the exception of land, which is presented net of any impairment losses. Once the infrastructure is in operation, the treatment of income and expenses is the same as the one described above for intangible asset. d) Right-of-use assets Main right of use agreements correspond to land rights. The Company recognizes right-of-use assets under IFRS 16, at the commencement date of the lease (i.e. the date the underlying asset is available for use). Right-of-use assets are measured at cost, less any accumulated depreciation and impairment losses, and adjusted for any remeasurement of lease liabilities (Note 2.11). The cost of right-of-use assets includes the amount of lease liabilities recognised, initial direct costs incurred, and lease payments made at or before the commencement date less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis over the shorter of the lease term and the estimated useful lives of the assets. e) R evenue Recognition According to IFRS 15, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, the Company assesses the goods and services promised in the contracts with the customers and identifies as a performance obligation each promise to transfer to the customer a good or service (or a bundle of goods or services). In the case of contracts related to intangible or financial assets under IFRIC 12, the performance obligation of the Company is the operation of the asset. The contracts between the parties set the price of the service in an orderly transaction and therefore corresponds to the fair value of the service provided. The service is satisfied over time. The same conclusion applies to concessional assets that are classified as tangible assets under IAS 16 or leases under IFRS 16. All of the transaction prices of assets under IFRIC 12 are fixed and included as part of the long-term PPAs of the Company as disclosed in Appendix III-2. In the case of financial asset under IFRIC 12, the financial asset accounts for the payments to be received from the client over the residual life of the contract, discounted at a theoretical internal rate of return for the project. In each period, the financial asset is reduced by the amounts received from the client and increased by any capital expenditure that the project may incur and by the effect of unwinding the discount of the financial asset at the theoretical internal rate of return. The increase of the financial asset deriving from the unwinding of the discount of the financial asset is recorded as revenue in each period. Revenue will therefore differ from the actual billings made by the asset to the client in each period. In the case of Spain, according to Royal Decree 413/2014, solar electricity producers receive: (i) the market price for the power they produce, (ii) a payment based on the standard investment cost for each type of plant (without any relation whatsoever to the amount of power they generate) and (iii) an “operating payment” (in €/MWh produced). The principle driving this economic regime is that the payments received by a renewable energy producer should be equivalent to the costs that they are unable to recover on the electricity pool market where they compete with non-renewable technologies. This economic regime seeks to allow a “well-run and efficient enterprise” to recover the costs of building and running a plant, plus a reasonable return on investment (project investment rate of return). Some of the Company´s assets in Spain are receiving a remuneration based on a 7.09% reasonable rate of return until December 31, 2025 while others are receiving a remuneration based on a 7.398% reasonable rate of return until December 31, 2031. |
Asset impairment | 2.4. Asset impairment Atlantica reviews its contracted concessional assets to identify any indicators of impairment at least annually, except for ECL assessment for financial assets which is discussed in note 2.3. When impairment indicators exist, the company calculates the recoverable amount of the asset. The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use, defined as the present value of the estimated future cash flows to be generated by the asset. In the event that the asset does not generate cash flows independently of other assets, the Company calculates the recoverable amount of the Cash Generating Unit (‘CGU’) to which the asset belongs. When the carrying amount of the CGU to which these assets belong is higher than its recoverable amount, the assets are impaired. Assumptions used to calculate value in use include a discount rate and projections considering real data based in the contracts terms and projected changes in both selling prices and costs. The discount rate is estimated by Management, to reflect both changes in the value of money over time and the risks associated with the specific CGU. For contracted concessional assets, with a defined useful life and with a specific financial structure, cash flow projections until the end of the project are considered and no relevant terminal value is assumed. Contracted concessional assets have a contractual structure that permits the Company to estimate quite accurately the costs of the project and revenue during the life of the project. Projections take into account real data based on the contract terms and fundamental assumptions based on specific reports prepared internally and third-party reports, assumptions on demand and assumptions on production. Additionally, assumptions on macro-economic conditions are taken into account, such as inflation rates, future interest rates, etc. and sensitivity analyses are performed over all major assumptions which can have a significant impact in the value of the asset. Cash flow projections of CGUs are calculated in the functional currency of those CGUs and are discounted using rates that take into consideration the risk corresponding to each specific country and currency. Taking into account that in most CGUs the specific financial structure is linked to the financial structure of the projects that are part of those CGUs, the discount rate used to calculate the present value of cash-flow projections is based on the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) for the type of asset, adjusted, if necessary, in accordance with the business of the specific activity and with the risk associated with the country where the project is performed. In any case, sensitivity analyses are performed, especially in relation to the discount rate used and fair value changes in the main business variables, in order to ensure that possible changes in the estimates of these items do not impact the recovery of recognized assets. In the event that the recoverable amount of an asset is lower than its carrying amount, an impairment charge for the difference would be recorded in the income statement under the item “Depreciation, amortization and impairment charges”. An assessment is made at each reporting date to determine whether there is an indication that previously recognized impairment losses no longer exist or have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the CGU’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been a change in the assumptions used to determine the asset’s recoverable amount since the last impairment loss was recognized. The reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years. Such reversal is recognized in the income statement. |
Loans and accounts receivable | 2.5. Loans and accounts receivable Loans and accounts receivable are non-derivative financial assets with fixed or determinable payments, not listed on an active market. In accordance with IFRIC 12, certain assets under concessions qualify as financial assets and are recorded as is described in Note 2.3. Pursuant to IFRS 9, an impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of these assets exceeds the present value of future cash flows discounted at the initial effective interest rate. Loans and accounts receivable are initially recognized at fair value plus transaction costs and are subsequently measured at amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest rate method. Interest calculated using the effective interest rate method is recognized under other financial income within financial income. |
Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities | 2.6. Derivative financial instruments and hedging activities Derivatives are recognized at fair value in the statement of financial position. The Company maintains both derivatives designated as hedging instruments in hedging relationships, and derivatives to which hedge accounting is not applied. When hedge accounting is applied, hedging strategy and risk management objectives are documented at inception, as well as the relationship between hedging instruments and hedged items. Effectiveness of the hedging relationship needs to be assessed on an ongoing basis. Effectiveness tests are performed prospectively at inception and at each reporting date. The Company analyses on each date if all these requirements are met: - there is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument; - the effect of credit risk does not dominate the value changes that result from that economic relationship; and - the hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that the Company actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that the Company uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. Ineffectiveness is measured following the accumulated dollar offset method. In all cases, current Company´s hedging relationships are considered cash flow hedges. Under this model, the effective portion of changes in fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges are recorded temporarily in equity and are subsequently reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects profit or loss. Any ineffective portion of the hedged transaction is recorded in the consolidated income statement as it occurs. When interest rate options are designated as hedging instruments, the time value is excluded from the hedging instrument as permitted by IFRS 9. Changes in the effective portion of the intrinsic are recorded in equity and subsequently reclassified from equity to profit or loss in the same period or periods during which the hedged item affects profit or loss. Any ineffectiveness is recorded as financial income or expense as it occurs. Changes in options time value is recorded as cost of hedging. More precisely, considering that the hedged items are, in all cases, time period hedged item, changes in time value is recognized in other comprehensive income to the extent that it relates to the hedged item. The time value at the date of designation of the option as a hedging instrument, to the extent that it relates to the hedged item, is amortized on a systematic and rational basis over the period during which the hedge adjustment for the option’s intrinsic value could affect profit or loss. When the hedging instrument matures or is sold, or when it no longer meets the requirements to apply hedge accounting, accumulated gains and losses recorded in equity remain as such until the forecast transaction is ultimately recognized in the income statement. However, if it becomes unlikely that the forecast transaction will actually take place, the accumulated gains and losses in equity are recognized immediately in the income statement. Any change in fair value of derivatives instruments to which hedge accounting is not applied is directly recorded in the income statement. |
Fair value estimates | 2.7. Fair value estimates Financial instruments measured at fair value are presented in accordance with the following level classification based on the nature of the inputs used for the calculation of fair value: - Level 1: Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. - Level 2: Fair value is measured based on inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices). - Level 3: Fair value is measured based on unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. In the event that prices cannot be observed, management shall make its best estimate of the price that the market would otherwise establish based on proprietary internal models which, in the majority of cases, use data based on observable market parameters as significant inputs (Level 2) but occasionally use market data that is not observed as significant inputs (Level 3). Different techniques can be used to make this estimate, including extrapolation of observable market data. The best indication of the initial fair value of a financial instrument is the price of the transaction, except when the value of the instrument can be obtained from other transactions carried out in the market with the same or similar instruments, or valued using a valuation technique in which the variables used only include observable market data, mainly interest rates. Differences between the transaction price and the fair value based on valuation techniques that use data that is not observed in the market, are not initially recognized in the income statement. Atlantica derivatives correspond primarily to the interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges, which are classified as Level 2. Description of the valuation method Interest rate swap valuations consist in valuing separately the swap part of the contract and the credit risk. The methodology used by the market and applied by Atlantica to value interest rate swaps is to discount the expected future cash flows according to the parameters of the contract. Variable interest rates, which are needed to estimate future cash flows, are calculated using the curve for the corresponding currency and extracting the implicit rates for each of the reference dates in the contract. These estimated flows are discounted with the swap zero curve for the reference period of the contract. The effect of the credit risk on the valuation of the interest rate swaps depends on the future settlement. If the settlement is favorable for the Company, the counterparty credit spread will be incorporated to quantify the probability of default at maturity. If the expected settlement is negative for the Company, its own credit risk will be applied to the final settlement. Classic models for valuing interest rate swaps use deterministic valuation of the future of variable rates, based on future outlooks. When quantifying credit risk, this model is limited by considering only the risk for the current paying party, ignoring the fact that the derivative could change sign at maturity. A payer and receiver swaption model is proposed for these cases. This enables the associated risk in each swap position to be reflected. Thus, the model shows each agent’s exposure, on each payment date, as the value of entering into the ‘tail’ of the swap, i.e. the live part of the swap. Variables (Inputs) Interest rate derivative valuation models use the corresponding interest rate curves for the relevant currency and underlying reference in order to estimate the future cash flows and to discount them. Market prices for deposits, futures contracts and interest rate swaps are used to construct these curves. Interest rate options (caps and floors) also use the volatility of the reference interest rate curve. To estimate the credit risk of the counterparty, the credit default swap (CDS) spreads curve is obtained in the market for important individual issuers. For less liquid issuers, the spreads curve is estimated using comparable CDSs or based on the country curve. To estimate proprietary credit risk, prices of debt issues in the market and CDSs for the sector and geographic location are used. The fair value of the financial instruments that results from the aforementioned internal models takes into account, among other factors, the terms and conditions of the contracts and observable market data, such as interest rates, credit risk and volatility. The valuation models do not include significant levels of subjectivity, since these methodologies can be adjusted and calibrated, as appropriate, using the internal calculation of fair value and subsequently compared to the corresponding actively traded price. However, valuation adjustments may be necessary when the listed market prices are not available for comparison purposes. |
Trade and other receivables | 2.8. Trade and other receivables Trade and other receivables are amounts due from customers for sales in the normal course of business. They are recognized initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, less allowance for doubtful accounts. Trade receivables due in less than one year are carried at their face value at both initial recognition and subsequent measurement, provided that the effect of not discounting flows is not significant. An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded when there is objective evidence that the Company will not be able to recover all amounts due as per the original terms of the receivables. The Company has established a provision matrix that is based on its historical credit loss experience, adjusted for forward-looking factors specific to the debtors and the economic environment. |
Cash and cash equivalents | 2.9. Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash in hand, cash in bank and other highly-liquid current investments with an original maturity of three months or less which are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments. |
Grants | 2.10. Grants Grants are recognized at fair value when it is considered that there is a reasonable assurance that the grant will be received and that the necessary qualifying conditions, as agreed with the entity assigning the grant, will be adequately complied with. Grants are recorded as liabilities in the consolidated statement of financial position and are recognized in “Other operating income” in the consolidated income statement based on the period necessary to match them with the costs they intend to compensate. In addition, as described in Note 2.11 below, grants correspond also to loans with interest rates below market rates, for the initial difference between the fair value of the loan and the proceeds received. |
Loans and borrowings | 2.11. Loans and borrowings Loans and borrowings are initially recognized at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently measured at amortized cost and any difference between the proceeds initially received (net of transaction costs incurred in obtaining such proceeds) and the repayment value is recognized in the consolidated income statement over the duration of the borrowing using the effective interest rate method. In the case of modification of terms of loans and borrowings, the Company determines whether the modification constitutes an exchange or an extinguishment of the debt instrument. In determining whether there is an exchange, the Company evaluates whether the redemption of the old debt and the issuance of new debt were negotiated in contemplation of one another (qualitative assessment) and performs the 10 per cent test to determine if the terms of the modified debt are substantially different (the net present value of the modified cash flows, including any fees paid net of any fees received, is higher than 10% different from the net present value of the remaining cash flows of the liability prior to the modification, both discounted at the original effective interest rate). When the terms of the modified liability are substantially different, the modification is accounted for as an extinguishment of the original liability and recognition of a new liability. Loans with interest rates below market rates are initially recognized at fair value in liabilities and the difference between proceeds received from the loan and its fair value is initially recorded within “Grants and Other liabilities” in the consolidated statement of financial position, and subsequently recorded in “Other operating income” in the consolidated income statement when the costs financed with the loan are expensed. Lease liabilities are recognized by the Company at the commencement date of the lease at the present value of lease payments to be made over the lease term. The lease payments include the exercise price of a purchase option reasonably certain to be exercised by the Company and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising the option to terminate. In calculating the present value of lease payments, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate at the lease commencement date considering that the interest rate implicit in the lease is not readily determinable. |
Bonds and notes | 2.12. Bonds and notes The Company initially recognizes ordinary notes at fair value, net of issuance costs incurred. Subsequently, notes are measured at amortized cost until settlement upon maturity. Any other difference between the proceeds obtained (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in the consolidated income statement over the term of the debt using the effective interest rate method. Convertible bonds or notes or debt issued with conversion features must be separated into liability and equity components if the feature meets the equity classification conditions in IAS 32. The issuer separates the instrument into its components by determining the fair value of the liability component and then deducting that amount from the fair value of the instrument as a whole; the residual amount is allocated to the equity component. If the equity conversion feature does not satisfy the equity classification conditions in IAS 32, it is bifurcated as an embedded derivative unless the issuer elects to apply the fair value option to the convertible debt. The embedded derivative is initially recognized at fair value and classified as derivatives in the statement of financial position. Changes in the fair value of the embedded derivatives are subsequently accounted for directly through the income statement. The debt element of the bond or note (the host contract), will be initially valued as the difference between the consideration received from the holders for the instrument and the value of the embedded derivative, and thereafter at amortized cost using the effective interest method. |
Income taxes | 2.13. Income taxes Current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws in force as of the date of the consolidated statement of financial position in the countries in which the subsidiaries and associates operate and generate taxable income. Deferred income tax is calculated in accordance with the liability method, based upon the temporary differences arising between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and their tax base. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized. |
Trade payables and other liabilities | 2.14. Trade payables and other liabilities Trade payables are obligations arising from purchases of goods and services in the ordinary course of business and are recognized initially at fair value and are subsequently measured at their amortized cost using the effective interest method. Other liabilities are obligations not arising in the normal course of business and which are not treated as financing transactions. Advances received from customers are recognized as “Trade payables and other current liabilities”. |
Foreign currency transactions | 2.15. Foreign currency transactions The Consolidated Financial Statements are presented in U.S. dollars, which is Atlantica’s functional and presentation currency. Financial statements of each subsidiary within the Company are measured in the currency of the principal economic environment in which the subsidiary operates, which is the subsidiary’s functional currency. Transactions denominated in a currency different from the subsidiary’s functional currency are translated into the subsidiary’s functional currency applying the exchange rates in force at the time of the transactions. Foreign currency gains and losses that result from the settlement of these transactions and the translation of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currency at the year-end rates are recognized in the consolidated income statement, unless they are deferred in equity, as occurs with cash flow hedges and net investment in foreign operations hedges. Assets and liabilities of subsidiaries with a functional currency different from the Company’s reporting currency are translated to U.S. dollars at the exchange rate in force at the closing date of the financial statements. Income and expenses are translated into U.S. dollars using the average annual exchange rate, which does not differ significantly from using the exchange rates of the dates of each transaction. The difference between equity translated at the historical exchange rate and the net financial position that results from translating the assets and liabilities at the closing rate is recorded in equity under the heading “Accumulated currency translation differences”. Results of companies carried under the equity method are translated at the average annual exchange rate. |
Equity | 2.16. Equity The Company has recyclable balances in its equity, corresponding mainly to hedge reserves and translation differences arising from currency conversion in the preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements. These balances have been presented separately in Equity. Non-controlling interest represents interest of other partners in entities included in these Consolidated Financial Statements which are not fully owned by Atlantica as of the dates presented. Share Capital, Share Premium and Capital Reserves represent the Parent’s net investment in the entities included in these Consolidated Financial Statements. The costs of issuing equity instruments are accounted for as a deduction from equity. |
Provisions and contingencies | 2.17. Provisions and contingencies Provisions are recognized when: - there is a present obligation, either legal or constructive, as a result of past events; - it is more likely than not that there will be a future outflow of resources to settle the obligation; and the amount has been reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expected outflows required to settle the obligation. The discount rate used is a current pre-tax rate that reflects, when appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is then recognized as a financial expense. The balance of provisions disclosed in the Notes reflects management’s best estimate of the potential exposure as of the date of preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements. Contingent liabilities are possible obligations, existing obligations with low probability of a future outflow of economic resources and existing obligations where the future outflow cannot be reliably estimated. Contingences are not recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position unless they have been acquired in a business combination. Some companies of Atlantica have dismantling provisions, which are intended to cover future expenditure related to the dismantlement of the plants in situations where it is likely to be settled with an outflow of resources in the long term (over 5 years). Such provisions are accrued when the obligation for dismantling, removing and restoring the site on which the plant is located, is incurred, which is usually during the construction period. The provision is measured in accordance with IAS 37, “Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets” and is recorded as a liability under the heading “Grants and other liabilities” of the Financial Statements, and the corresponding entry as part of the cost of the plant under the heading “Contracted concessional assets.” The estimated future costs of dismantling are reviewed annually if conditions have changed and adjusted appropriately. The impact of changes in the estimate of future costs or in the timing of when such costs will be incurred, on the dismantling provision, is recorded against an increase or decrease of the cost of the plant. |
Earnings per share | 2.18. Earnings per share Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit for the period attributable to ordinary equity holders of the parent by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period plus the weighted average number of ordinary shares that would be issued on conversion of all the dilutive potential ordinary shares into ordinary shares. |
Significant judgements and estimates | 2.19. Significant judgements and estimates Some of the accounting policies applied require the application of significant judgement by management to select the appropriate assumptions to determine these estimates. These assumptions and estimates are based on the historical experience, advice from experienced consultants, forecasts and other circumstances and expectations as of the close of the financial period. The assessment is considered in relation to the global economic situation of the industries and regions where the Company operates, taking into account future development of the businesses of the Company. By their nature, these judgements are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty; therefore, actual results could materially differ from the estimates and assumptions used. In such cases, the carrying values of assets and liabilities are adjusted. The most critical accounting policies, which reflect significant management estimates and judgement to determine amounts in these Consolidated Financial Statements, are as follows: - Assessment of contracted concessional agreements. - Impairment of intangible assets and property, plant and equipment. - Assessment of control. - Derivative financial instruments and fair value estimates. - Income taxes and recoverable amount of deferred tax assets. As of the date of preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements, no relevant changes in the estimates made are anticipated and, therefore, no significant changes in the value of the assets and liabilities recognized at December 31, 2021, are expected. Although these estimates and assumptions are being made using all available facts and circumstances, it is possible that future events may require management to amend such estimates and assumptions in future periods. Changes in accounting estimates are recognized prospectively, in accordance with IAS 8, in the consolidated income statement of the year in which the change occurs. |
