Basis Of Preparation And Significant Accounting Policies Abstract [Abstract] | |
BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES | (a) Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The accounting policies used in the consolidated financial statements are based on the IFRS applicable as at December 31, 2021, which encompass individual IFRS, International Accounting Standards (“IAS”), and interpretations made by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) and the Standard Interpretations Committee (“SIC”). The policies set out below are consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted. These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the company on February 28, 2022. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. References to $, €, R$, and COP are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars, euros, Brazilian reais and Colombian pesos, respectively. All figures are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. (b) Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of property, plant and equipment and certain assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value. Cost is recorded based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. (c) Consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its subsidiaries, which are the entities over which the company has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Non-controlling interests in the equity of the company’s subsidiaries are shown separately in equity in the consolidated statements of financial position. The company has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield, whereby the company gained control of the entities that own certain renewable power generating operations. The company has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of its Colombian operations. These voting agreements provide the company the authority to direct the election of the Boards of Directors of the relevant entities, among other things, and therefore provide the company with control. Accordingly, the company consolidates the accounts of these entities. Refer to Note 27 – Related party transactions for further information. For entities previously controlled by Brookfield Asset Management, the voting agreements entered into do not represent business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”), as all combining businesses are ultimately controlled by Brookfield Asset Management both before and after the transactions were completed. the company accounts for these transactions involving entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interest, which requires the presentation of pre-voting agreement financial information as if the transactions had always been in place. Refer to Note 1(r)(ii) – Critical judgments in applying accounting policies – Common control transactions for the company’s policy on accounting for transactions under common control. Equity-accounted investments Equity-accounted investments are entities over which the company has significant influence or joint arrangements representing joint ventures. Significant influence is the ability to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but without controlling or jointly controlling those investees. Such investments are accounted for using the equity method. A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. the company accounts for its interests in joint ventures using the equity method. Under the equity method, the carrying value of an interest in an investee is initially recognized at cost and adjusted for the company’s share of net income, other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”), distributions by the equity-accounted investment and other adjustments to the company’s proportionate interest in the investee. (d) Foreign currency translation All figures reported in the consolidated financial statements and tabular disclosures to the consolidated financial statements are reflected in millions of U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of the company. Each of the foreign operations included in these consolidated financial statements determines its own functional currency, and items included in the financial statements of each subsidiary are measured using that functional currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and revenues and expenses at the rate of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions during the period. Gains or losses on translation of foreign subsidiaries are included in OCI. Gains or losses on foreign currency denominated balances are reported in the same manner In preparing the consolidated financial statements of the company, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency using the closing rate at the applicable consolidated statement of financial position dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value, are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined and non-monetary assets measured at historical cost are translated at the historical rate. Revenues and expenses are measured in the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions with gains or losses included in income. (e) Cash and cash equivalents Cash and cash equivalents include cash, term deposits and money market instruments with original maturities of less than 90 days. (f) Restricted cash Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents, where the availability of funds is restricted primarily by credit agreements. (g) Property, plant and equipment and revaluation method Power generating assets are classified as property, plant and equipment and are accounted for using the revaluation method under IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment (“IAS 16”). Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently carried at their revalued amount, being the fair value at the date of the revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The company generally determines the fair value of its property, plant and equipment by using a 20-year discounted cash flow model for the majority of its assets. This model incorporates future cash flows from long-term power purchase agreements that are in place where it is determined that the power purchase agreements are linked specifically to the related power generating assets. The model also includes estimates of future electricity prices, anticipated long-term average generation, estimated operating and capital expenditures, and assumptions about future inflation rates and discount rates by geographical location. Construction work-in-progress (“CWIP”) is revalued when sufficient information exists to determine fair value using the discounted cash flow method. Revaluations are made on an annual basis as at December 31 to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ significantly from fair value. For power generating assets acquired through business combinations, the company initially measures the assets at fair value consistent with the policy described in Note 1(n) – Business combinations, with no revaluations at year-end in the year of acquisition unless there is external evidence specific to those assets that would indicate the carrying value of the asset has either increased or decreased materially. Where the carrying amount of an asset increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase is recognized in income to the extent the increase reverses a previously recognized decrease recorded through income, with the remainder of the increase recognized in OCI and accumulated in equity under revaluation surplus and non-controlling interest. When the carrying amount of an asset decreases, the decrease is recognized in OCI to the extent that a balance exists in revaluation surplus with respect to the asset, with the remainder of the decrease recognized in income. Depreciation on power generating assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated service lives of the assets, which are as follows: Estimated service lives Dams Up to 115 years Penstocks Up to 60 years Powerhouses Up to 115 years Hydroelectric generating units Up to 115 years Wind generating units Up to 30 years Solar generating units Up to 35 years Gas-fired cogenerating (“Cogeneration”) units Up to 40 years Other assets Up to 60 years Costs are allocated to significant components of property, plant and equipment. When items of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (significant components) and depreciated separately. To ensure the accuracy of useful lives and residual values, a review is conducted annually. Depreciation is calculated based on the fair value of the asset less its residual value. Depreciation commences when the asset is in the location and conditions necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. It ceases at the earlier of the date the asset is classified as held-for-sale and the date the asset is derecognized. An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant component is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Other assets include equipment, buildings and leasehold improvements. Buildings, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements and office equipment are recorded at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Land and CWIP are not subject to depreciation. The depreciation of property, plant and equipment in Brazil is based on the duration of the authorization or the useful life of a concession asset. The weighted-average remaining duration at December 31, 2021 is 31 years (2020: 32 years). Since land rights are part of the concession or authorization, this cost is also subject to depreciation. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset, and the net amount is applied to the revalued amount of the asset. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are recognized in Other income and Other in the consolidated statements of income (loss), respectively. The revaluation surplus is reclassified within the respective components of equity and not reclassified to net income when the assets are disposed. (h) Leases At inception of a contract, the company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the company assesses whether: • the contract specified explicitly or implicitly the use of an identified asset, and that is physically distinct or represents substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; • The company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and the company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The company has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined, the company has the right to direct the use of the asset if either: ◦ The company has the right to operate the asset (or to direct others to operate the asset in a manner that it determines) throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or ◦ The company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the company has elected not to separate non-lease components and, therefore, accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: • Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; • Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; • Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and • The exercise price under a purchase option that the company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewable period if the company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the company is reasonably certain not to terminate early The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made either to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or, when the adjustment is a reduction to the right-of-use asset, is recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss) if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to nil. The company presents right-of-use assets in property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position. (i) Asset impairment At each statement of financial position date, management assesses whether there is any indication that assets are impaired. For non-financial tangible and intangible assets (including equity-accounted investments), an impairment is recognized if the recoverable amount, determined as the greater of the estimated fair value, less costs to sell, and the discounted future cash flows generated from use and eventual disposal of an asset or cash-generating unit, is less than its carrying value. The projections of future cash flows take into account the relevant operating plans and management’s best estimate of the most probable set of conditions anticipated to prevail. Should an impairment loss subsequently reverse, the carrying amount of the asset is increased to the lesser of the revised estimate of the recoverable amount, and the carrying amount that would have been recorded had no impairment loss been recognized previously. (j) Trade receivables and other current assets Trade receivables and other current assets are recognized initially at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for expected credit losses. (k) Financial instruments Initial recognition Under IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, being the date on which the company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. At initial recognition, the company measures a financial asset at its fair value. In the case of a financial asset not categorized as fair value through profit and loss (“FVPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset are included at initial recognition. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in income. Classification and measurement Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on the company’s business objective for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the company classifies its financial assets: Amortized cost – Financial assets held for collection of contractual cash flows that represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income is recognized as other income in the financial statements, and gains/losses are recognized in income when the asset is derecognized or impaired. FVOCI – Financial assets held to achieve a particular business objective other than short-term trading are designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). For equity instruments designated at FVOCI, there is no recycling of gains or losses through income. Upon derecognition of the asset, accumulated gains or losses are transferred from OCI directly to retained earnings. FVPL – Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. Gains or losses on these types of assets are recognized in income. The company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses (“ECL”) associated with its assets carried at amortized cost and FVOCI. For trade receivables and contract assets, the company applied the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the asset. The simplified approach to the recognition of ECL does not require entities to track the changes in credit risk; rather, entities recognize a loss allowance at each reporting date based on the lifetime ECL since the date of initial recognition of the asset. Evidence of impairment may include: • Indications that a debtor or group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty; • A default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; • Probability that a debtor or a group of debtors will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; • Changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults, where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows. Trade receivables are reviewed qualitatively on a case-by-case basis to determine if they need to be written off. ECL are measured as the difference in the present value of the contractual cash flows that are due under contract and the cash flows expected to be received. ECL is measured by considering the risk of default over the contract period and incorporates forward looking information into its measurement. Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, amortized cost, or derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge. The company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. The company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, corporate borrowings, non-recourse borrowings, derivative liabilities, due to related party balances, and tax equity. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, with subsequent measurement determined based on their classification as follows: FVPL – Financial liabilities held for trading, such as those acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term, derivative financial instruments entered into by the company that do not meet hedge accounting criteria, and tax equity are classified as fair value through profit and loss. Gains or losses on these types of liabilities are recognized in income. The company owns and operates certain projects in the U.S. under tax equity structures to finance the construction of solar and wind projects. Such structures are designed to allocate renewable tax incentives, such as investment tax credits (“ITCs”), production tax credits (“PTCs”) and accelerated tax depreciation, to tax equity investors. Generally, tax equity structures grant the tax equity investors the majority of the project's U.S. taxable earnings and renewable tax incentives, along with a smaller portion of the projects’ cash flows, until a contractually determined point at which the allocations are adjusted (the “Flip Point”). Subsequent to the Flip Point the majority of the project’s U.S. taxable earnings, renewable tax incentives and cash flows are allocated to the sponsor. The Flip Point dates are generally dependent on the underlying projects’ reaching an agreed upon after tax investment return, however, from time to time, the Flip Point dates may be dates specified within the contract. At all times, both before and after the projects’ Flip Point, the company retains control over the projects financed with a tax equity structure. In accordance with the substance of the contractual agreements, the amounts paid by the tax equity investors for their equity stakes are classified as financial instrument liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position and at each reporting date are remeasured to their fair value in accordance with IFRS 9. The fair value of the tax equity financing is generally comprised of the following elements: Elements affecting the fair value of the tax equity financing Description Production tax credits (PTCs) Allocation of PTCs to the tax equity investor are derived from the power generated during the period. The PTCs are recognized in foreign exchange and financial instrument gain (loss) with a corresponding reduction to the tax equity liability. Taxable loss, including tax attributes such as accelerated tax depreciation Under the terms of the tax equity agreements, the company is required to allocate specified percentages of taxable losses to the tax equity investor. As amounts are allocated, the obligation to deliver them is satisfied and a reduction to the tax equity liability is recorded with a corresponding amount recorded within foreign exchange and financial instrument gain (loss) on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Pay-go contributions Certain of the contracts contain annual production thresholds. When the thresholds are exceeded, the tax equity investor is required to contribute additional cash amounts. The cash amounts paid increase the value of the tax equity liability. Cash distributions Certain of the contracts also require cash distributions to the tax equity investor. Upon payment, the tax equity liability is reduced in the amount of the cash distribution. Amortized cost – All other financial liabilities are classified as amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in income when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization process. Remeasurement gains and losses on financial liabilities classified as amortized cost are presented in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Amortized cost is computed using the effective interest method less any principal repayment or reduction. The calculation takes into account any premium or discount on acquisition and includes transaction costs and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. This category includes trade and other payables, dividends payable, interest-bearing loans and borrowings, and corporate credit facilities. Derivatives and hedge accounting Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged and the type of hedge relationship designated. The company designates its derivatives as hedges of: • Foreign exchange risk associated with the cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges); • Foreign exchange risk associated with net investment in foreign operations (net investment hedges); • Commodity price risk associated with cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges); and • Floating interest rate risk associated with highly probable payments of debts (cash flow hedges). At the inception of a hedge relationship, the company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if it meets all of the following effectiveness requirements: • 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 actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. The fair values of various derivative financial instruments used for hedging purposes and movements in the hedge reserve within equity are shown in Note 5 – Risk management and financial instruments. When a hedging instrument expires, is sold, is terminated, or no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative deferred gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging in equity at that time remain in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. When the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging are immediately reclassified to income. If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in income at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing. (i) Cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item on a present value basis from the inception of the hedge. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in income, within foreign exchange and financial instruments gain (loss). Gains and losses relating to the effective portion of the change in fair value of the entire forward contract are recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified in the period when the hedged item affects income. (ii) Net investment hedges that qualify for hedge accounting Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in OCI and accumulated in reserves in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit and loss within Foreign exchange and financial instruments gain (loss). Gains and losses accumulated in equity will be reclassified to income when the foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold. (iii) Hedge ineffectiveness The company’s hedging policy only allows for the use of derivative instruments that form effective hedge relationships. Sources of hedge effectiveness are determined at the inception of the hedge relationship and measured through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument. Where the critical terms of the hedging instrument match exactly with the terms of the hedged item, a qualitative assessment of effectiveness is performed. For other hedge relationships, the hypothetical derivative method to assess effectiveness is used. (l) Revenue and expense recognition The majority of revenue is derived from the sale of power and power related ancillary services both under contract and in the open market, sourced from the company’s power generating facilities. The obligations are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes benefits as the company delivers electricity and related products. Revenue is recorded based upon the output delivered and capacity provided at rates specified under either contract terms or prevailing market rates. The revenue reflects the consideration the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Costs related to the purchases of power or fuel are recorded upon delivery. All other costs are recorded as incurred. Details of the revenue recognized per technology are included in Note 6 – Segmented information. Where available, the company has elected the practical expedient available under IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers (“IFRS 15”) for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation and for disclosure requirements of remaining performance obligations. The practical expedient allows an entity to recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has the right to invoice such that the entity has a right to the consideration in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer for performance completed to date by the entity. If the consideration in a contract that does not apply the practical expedient available under IFRS 15 for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation includes a variable amount, the company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideratio |

RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS [Abstract] | |
RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS | RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS RISK MANAGEMENT The company’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (i.e., commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The company uses financial instruments primarily to manage these risks. The sensitivity analysis discussed below reflects the risks associated with instruments that the company considers are market sensitive and the potential loss resulting from one or more selected hypothetical changes. Therefore, the discussion below is not intended to fully reflect the company’s risk exposure. (a) Market risk Market risk is defined for these purposes as the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument held by the company will fluctuate because of changes in market prices. The company faces market risk from foreign currency assets and liabilities, the impact of changes in interest rates, and floating rate liabilities. Market risk is managed by funding assets with financial liabilities in the same currency and with similar interest rate characteristics and holding financial contracts, such as interest rate swaps and foreign exchange contracts, to minimize residual exposures. Financial instruments held by the company that are subject to market risk include borrowings and financial instruments, such as interest rate, currency and commodity contracts. The categories of financial instruments that can give rise to significant variability are described below: (i) Electricity price risk The company aims to sell electricity under long-term contracts to secure stable prices and mitigate its exposure to wholesale markets. Electricity price risk arises from the sale of the company’s uncontracted generation and is mitigated by entering into short-term energy derivative contracts. Electricity price risk is defined for these purposes as the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument held by the company will fluctuate because of changes in electricity prices. The table below summarizes the impact of changes in the market price of electricity as at December 31. The impact is expressed in terms of the effect on net income and OCI. The sensitivities are based on the assumption that the market price changes by 5% with all other variables held constant. Impact of a 5% change in the market price of electricity, on outstanding energy derivative contracts, for the year ended December 31: Effect on net income (1) Effect on OCI (1) (MILLIONS) 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 5% increase $ (34) $ (9) $ (21) $ (20) $ (11) $ (12) 5% decrease 34 9 8 20 11 12 (1) Amounts represent the potential annual net pretax impact. (ii) Foreign currency risk Foreign currency risk is defined for these purposes as the risk that the fair value of a financial instrument held by the company will fluctuate because of changes in foreign currency rates. The company has exposure to the Canadian dollar, euro, Brazilian real, and Colombian peso through its investments in foreign operations. Consequently, fluctuations in the U.S. dollar exchange rate against these currencies increase the volatility of net income and other comprehensive income. The company holds foreign currency contracts primarily to mitigate this exposure. The table below summarizes the impact to the company’s financial instruments of changes in the exchange rate as at December 31. The impact is expressed in terms of the effect on income and OCI. The sensitivities are based on the assumption that the currency exchange rate changes by five percent with all other variables held constant. Impact of a 5% change in U.S. dollar exchange rates, on outstanding foreign exchange swaps, for the year ended December 31: Effect on net income (1) Effect on OCI (1) (MILLIONS) 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 5% increase $ 21 $ 56 $ 39 $ 29 $ 26 $ 9 5% decrease (21) (54) (26) (29) (26) (9) (1) Amounts represent the potential annual net pretax impact. (iii) Interest rate risk Interest rate risk is defined for these purposes as the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument held by the company will fluctuate, because of changes in interest rates. The company’s assets largely consist of long duration physical assets. The company’s financial liabilities consist primarily of long-term fixed-rate debt or variable-rate debt that has been swapped to fixed rates with interest rate financial instruments. All non-derivative financial liabilities are recorded at their amortized cost. The company also holds interest rate contracts to lock-in fixed rates on certain anticipated future debt issuances. The company will enter into interest rate swaps designed to minimize the exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its variable-rate debt. Fluctuations in interest rates could impact the company’s cash flows, primarily with respect to the interest payable against the company’s variable rate debt, which is limited to certain non-recourse borrowings with a total principal value of $5,165 million (2020: $5,035 million). Of this principal value, $3,493 million (2020: $2,918 million) has been fixed through the use of interest rate contracts. The fair values of the recognized asset and liability for the interest rate swaps were calculated using a valuation model with observable interest rates. The table below summarizes the impact of changes in the interest rate as at December 31. The impact is expressed in terms of the effect on income and OCI. The sensitivities are based on the assumption that the interest rate changes by 1% with all other variables held constant. Impact of a 1% change in interest rates, on outstanding interest rate swaps, variable rate debt and tax equity, for the year ended December 31: Effect on net income (1) Effect on OCI (1) (MILLIONS) 2021 2020 2019 2021 2020 2019 1% increase $ 11 $ 2 $ (14) $ 111 $ 119 $ 64 1% decrease (11) (3) 13 (121) (126) (64) (1) Amounts represent the potential annual net pretax impact. (b) Credit risk Credit risk is the risk of loss due to the failure of a borrower or counterparty to fulfill its contractual obligations. The company’s exposure to credit risk in respect of financial instruments relates primarily to counterparty obligations regarding energy contracts, interest rate swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts and physical electricity transactions. The company minimizes credit risk with counterparties through the selection, monitoring and diversification of counterparties, and the use of standard trading contracts, and other credit risk mitigation techniques. In addition, the company’s power purchase agreements are reviewed regularly and the majority are with customers having long standing credit histories or investment grade ratings, which limit the risk of non-collection. See Note 21 – Trade receivables and other current assets, for additional details regarding the company’s trade receivables balance. The maximum credit exposure at December 31 was as follows: (MILLIONS) 2021 2020 Trade receivables and other short-term receivables $ 609 $ 556 Financial instrument assets (1) 116 108 Due from related parties (1) 558 414 Long-term receivables $ 30 $ 28 $ 1,313 $ 1,106 (1) Includes both the current and long-term amounts. (c) Liquidity risk Liquidity risk is the risk that the company cannot meet a demand for cash or fund an obligation when due. Liquidity risk is mitigated by the company’s cash and cash equivalent balances and its access to undrawn credit facilities. Details of the available portion of credit facilities are included in Note 13 – Borrowings. The company also ensures that it has access to public capital markets and maintains a strong investment grade credit rating. The company is also subject to the risk associated with debt financing. This risk is mitigated by the long-term duration of debt instruments and the staggered maturity dates over an extended period of time. CASH OBLIGATIONS The table below classifies the cash obligations related to the company’s liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period from the statement of financial position dates to the contractual maturity date. As the amounts are the contractual undiscounted cash flows (gross of unamortized financing fees and accumulated amortization, where applicable), they may not agree with the amounts disclosed in the consolidated statements of financial position.

(2) Includes tax equity liabilities that will be partially settled by the delivery of non-cash tax attributes. (3) Represents aggregate interest payable expected to be paid over the entire term of the obligations, if held to maturity. Variable rate interest payments have been calculations based on estimated interest rates. Fair value disclosures Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates. In determining those assumptions, management looks primarily to external readily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves, currency rates, commodity prices and, as applicable, credit spreads. A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset is the consideration that would be received in an orderly transaction between market participants, considering the highest and best use of the asset. Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels, described below. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities. Level 1 – inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities; Level 2 – inputs, other than quoted prices in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data. The following table presents the company’s assets and liabilities measured and disclosed at fair value classified by the fair value hierarchy as at December 31: (MILLIONS) Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 2021 2020 Assets measured at fair value: Cash and cash equivalents $ 410 $ — $ — $ 410 $ 355 Restricted cash (1) 197 — — 197 229 Financial instrument assets (1) Energy derivative contracts — 24 21 45 104 Interest rate swaps — 40 — 40 — Foreign exchange swaps — 31 — 31 4 Property, plant and equipment — — 37,915 37,915 36,097 Liabilities measured at fair value: Financial instrument liabilities (1) Energy derivative contracts — (164) (42) (206) (27) Interest rate swaps — (103) — (103) (244) Foreign exchange swaps — (6) — (6) (23) Tax equity — — (455) (455) (402) Liabilities for which fair value is disclosed: BEPC exchangeable and class B shares (2) (6,163) — — (6,163) (7,430) Non-recourse borrowings (1) (1,995) (12,402) — (14,397) (14,595) Total $ (7,551) $ (12,580) $ 37,439 $ 17,308 $ 14,068 (1) Includes both the current amount and long-term amount.

As discussed in Note 15 – BEPC exchangeable shares, BEPC class B shares and BEPC class C shares, the BEPC class C shares meet certain qualifying criteria and are presented as equity. There were no transfers between levels during the year ended December 31, 2021. Financial instruments disclosures The aggregate amount of the company’s net financial instrument positions as at December 31 are as follows: 2021 2020 (MILLIONS) Assets Liabilities Net Assets Net Assets Energy derivative contracts $ 45 $ 206 $ (161) $ 77 Interest rate swaps 40 103 (63) (244) Foreign exchange swaps 31 6 25 (19) Tax equity — 455 (455) (402) Total 116 770 (654) (588) Less: current portion 58 247 (189) (158) Long-term portion $ 58 $ 523 $ (465) $ (430) The following table presents the change in the company’s total net financial instrument liability position as at and for the year ended December 31: (MILLIONS) Note 2021 2020 Balance, beginning of year $ (588) $ (469) Increases (decreases) in the net financial instrument liability position: Unrealized (loss) through income on tax equity (a) (21) (12) Unrealized (loss) gain through income on energy derivative contracts (b) (86) 1 Unrealized (loss) through OCI on energy derivative contracts (b) (147) (5) Unrealized gain through income on interest rate swaps (c) 46 12 Unrealized gain (loss) through OCI on interest rate swaps (c) 75 (51) Unrealized gain through income on foreign exchange swaps (d) 78 23 Unrealized gain through OCI on foreign exchange swaps (d) 84 — Acquisitions, settlements and other (95) (87) Balance, end of year $ (654) $ (588) Financial instrument liabilities designated at fair value through profit and loss Tax equity (a) $ (455) $ (402) Derivative assets not designated as hedging instruments: Energy derivative contracts (b) $ 32 $ 54 Interest rate swaps (c) 18 — Foreign exchange swaps (d) — 4 $ 50 $ 58 Derivative assets designated as hedging instruments: Energy derivative contracts (b) $ 13 $ 50 Interest rate swaps (c) 22 — Foreign exchange swaps (d) 31 — $ 66 $ 50 Derivative liabilities not designated as hedging instruments: Energy derivative contracts (b) $ (110) $ (27) Interest rate swaps (c) — (18) Foreign exchange swaps (d) (2) (20) $ (112) $ (65) Derivative liabilities designated as hedging instruments: Energy derivative contracts (b) $ (96) $ — Interest rate swaps (c) (103) (226) Foreign exchange swaps (d) (4) (3) $ (203) $ (229) Total financial instruments, net $ (654) $ (588) (a) Tax equity The company owns and operates certain projects in the United States under tax equity structures to finance the construction of solar and wind projects. In accordance with the substance of the contractual agreements, the amounts paid by the tax equity investors for their equity stakes are classified as financial instrument liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position. Gain or loss on the tax equity liabilities are recognized within foreign exchange and financial instruments (loss) gain in the consolidated statements of income (loss). (b) Energy derivative contracts The company has entered into long-term energy derivative contracts primarily to stabilize or eliminate the price risk on the sale of certain future power generation. Certain energy contracts are recorded in the company’s consolidated financial statements at an amount equal to fair value, using quoted market prices or, in their absence, a valuation model using both internal and third-party evidence and forecasts. There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the energy derivative contracts match the terms of the expected highly probable forecast transactions (i.e. notional amount and expected payment date). The company has established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationship. To measure the hedge effectiveness, the company uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares changes in the fair value of the hedging instruments against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risks. The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from different indexes (and accordingly different curves) linked to the hedged risk of the hedged items and hedging instruments. Certain subsidiaries that the company controls, through a voting agreement, have entered into agreements appointing the partnership as their agent in entering into certain derivative transactions with external counterparties. Pursuant to each Agreement, the partnership was entitled to be reimbursed for any third party costs incurred in connection with these derivative transactions. Substantially all of the company’s energy contract derivatives are entered into pursuant to these agreements. Upon the closing of the Energy Marketing Internalization on April 1, 2021, all power agency agreements were transferred by the partnership to the company. Refer to Note 27 - Related party transactions for more details. For the year ended December 31, 2021 , loss of $32 million relating to energy derivative contracts were realized and reclassified from OCI to the consolidated statements of income (loss) (2020: $53 million gains and 2019: $9 million gains). Based on market prices as of December 31, 2021, unrealized losses of $72 million (2020: $13 million gains and 2019: $22 million gains) recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on energy derivative contracts are expected to be settled or reclassified into income in the next twelve months. The actual amount reclassified from AOCI, however, could vary due to future changes in market prices. The following table summarizes the energy derivative contracts designated as hedging instruments: Energy derivative contracts December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Carrying amount (asset/(liability)) (83) 50 Notional amount – millions of U.S. dollars 351 273 Notional amount – GWh 10,022 8,657 Weighted average hedged rate for the year ($/MWh) 35 32 Maturity dates 2022 - 2027 2021 - 2027 Hedge ratio 1:1 1:1 Change in discounted spot value of outstanding hedging instruments (124) 15 Change in value of hedged item used to determine hedge effectiveness 117 (17) There is $7 million of hedge ineffectiveness losses recognized in foreign exchange and financial instruments gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of income (loss) related to energy derivative contracts (cash flow hedges) for the year ended December 31, 2021 (2020: $2 million gains and 2019: nil). (c) Interest rate hedges The company has entered into interest rate hedge contracts primarily to minimize exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its variable rate debt or to lock in interest rates on future debt refinancing. All interest rate hedge contracts are recorded in the consolidated financial statements at fair value. There is an economic relationship between the hedged items and the hedging instruments as the terms of the interest rate hedges match the terms of the respective fixed rate loans (i.e., notional amount, maturity, payment and reset dates). The company established a hedge ratio of 1:1 for the hedging relationship. To measure the hedge effectiveness, the company uses the hypothetical derivative method and compares the changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument against the changes in fair value of the hedged items attributable to the hedged risk. The hedge ineffectiveness can arise from: • Different interest rate curves being applied to discount the hedged item and hedging instrument • Differences in timing of cash flows of the hedged item and hedging instrument • The counterparties’ credit risk having an asymmetrical impact on the fair value movements of the hedging instrument and hedged item At December 31, 2021, agreements with a total notional exposure of $2,815 million were outstanding (2020: $2,974 million) including $559 million (2020: $428 million) associated with agreements that are not formally designated as hedging instruments. The weighted-average fixed interest rate resulting from these agreements is 1.3% (2020: 2.8%). For the year ended December 31, 2021, net movements relating to cash flow hedges realized and reclassified from OCI to interest expense in the consolidated statements of income (loss) were $11 million losses (2020: $5 million losses and 2019: $6 million losses). Based on market prices as of December 31, 2021, unrealized losses of $32 million (2020: $30 million and 2019: $3 million) recorded in AOCI on interest rate swaps are expected to be settled or reclassified into income in the next twelve months. The actual amount reclassified from AOCI, however, could vary due to future changes in market rates. The following table summarizes the interest rate hedges designated as hedging instruments: Interest rate hedges December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Carrying amount (asset/(liability)) (81) (226) Notional amount – $ 391 546 Notional amount – COP (1) 141 619 Notional amount – C$ (1) 152 102 Notional amount – € (1) 1,572 1,279 Maturity dates 2022 - 2039 2021 - 2039 Hedge ratio 1:1 1:1 Change in discounted spot value of outstanding hedging instruments 81 (46) Change in value of hedged item used to determine hedge effectiveness (84) 47 (1) Notional amounts of foreign currency denominated interest rate hedges are presented at the U.S. dollar equivalent value based on the December 31, 2021 foreign currency spot rate The hedge ineffectiveness gains recognized within foreign exchange and financial instrument gain (loss) in the consolidated statements of income (loss) related to interest rate contracts (cash flow hedges) for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $3 million (2020: $2 million and 2019: nil). (d) Foreign exchange swaps The company has entered into foreign exchange swaps to minimize its exposure to currency fluctuations impacting its investments and earnings in foreign operations, and to fix the exchange rate on certain anticipated transactions denominated in foreign currencies. There is an economic relationship between the hedged item and the hedging instrument as the net investment or anticipated foreign currency transaction creates a translation risk that will match the respective hedging instrument. The company established a hedge ratio of 1:1 as the underlying risk of the hedging instrument is identical to the hedged risk component. Certain Brookfield subsidiaries that the company controls, through a voting agreement, have entered into Master Hedge Agreements appointing Brookfield as their agent in entering into certain derivative transactions with external counterparties to hedge against fluctuations in foreign exchange. Pursuant to each Agreement, Brookfield was entitled to be reimbursed for any third party costs incurred in connection with the these derivative transactions. Substantially all of the company’s foreign exchange swaps are entered into pursuant to a Master Hedge Agreement. At December 31, 2021, agreements with a total notional exposure of $1,679 million were outstanding (2020: $1,199 million) including $431 million (2020: $921 million) associated with agreements that are not formally designated as hedging instruments. There are no unrealized gains or losses recorded in AOCI on foreign exchange swaps that are expected to be settled or reclassified into income in the next twelve months (2020: nil and 2019: nil). The actual amount reclassified from AOCI, however, could vary due to future changes in market rates.

Disclosure of operating segments [abstract] | |
SEGMENTED INFORMATION | SEGMENTED INFORMATION The company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the chief operating decision maker or “CODM”) review the results of the operations, manage the operations, and allocate resources based on the type of technology, in conjunction with other segments of Brookfield Renewable. The operations of the company are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) solar, 4) energy transition and 5) corporate. This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews the results of the company. In accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments, the company discloses information about its reportable segments based upon the measures used by the CODM in assessing performance. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies. Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources is provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects the company’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method whereby the company either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides shareholders perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results allocable to the company’s shareholders. Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate consolidation basis have been disclosed below. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, depreciation, current and deferred income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items include the company’s proportionate share of earnings from equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, and exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by the company apportioned to each of the above-noted items. The company does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its consolidated financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses does not represent the company’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish the company’s legal claims or exposures to such items. The company reports its results in accordance with these segments and presents prior period segmented information in a consistent manner. The company analyzes the performance of its operating segments based on Funds From Operations. Funds From Operations is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Funds From Operations used by other entities, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALPAC”) and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”). The company uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of the company before the effects of certain cash items (e.g., acquisition costs and other typical non-recurring cash items) and certain non-cash items (e.g., deferred income taxes, depreciation, non-cash portion of non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, and other non-cash items) as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business. The company includes realized disposition gains and losses on assets that we developed and/or did not intend to hold over the long-term within Funds From Operations in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in current period net income. The following table provides each segment’s results in the format that management organizes its segments to make operating decisions and assess performance and reconciles the company’s proportionate results to the consolidated statements of income (loss) on a line-by-line basis by aggregating the components comprising the earnings from the company’s investments in associates and reflecting the portion of each line item attributable to non-controlling interests for the year ended December 31, 2021: Attributable to the partnership Contribution from equity-accounted investments Attributable to non-controlling interests As per IFRS financials (1) (MILLIONS) Hydroelectric Wind Solar Energy transition Corporate Total Revenues $ 992 $ 199 $ 166 $ 126 $ — $ 1,483 $ (40) $ 1,924 $ 3,367 Other income 55 26 15 2 3 101 (1) (40) 60 Direct operating costs (424) (59) (42) (50) (3) (578) 19 (626) (1,185) Share of revenue, other income and direct operating costs from equity-accounted investments — — — — — — 22 — 22 623 166 139 78 — 1,006 — 1,258 Management service costs — — — — (175) (175) — — (175) Interest expense (1) (140) (35) (53) (20) (16) (264) 6 (433) (691) Current income taxes (11) (2) (1) 1 — (13) — (18) (31) Share of interest and cash taxes from equity-accounted investments — — — — — — (6) — (6) Share of Funds From Operations attributable to non-controlling interests — — — — — — — (807) (807) Funds From Operations 472 129 85 59 (191) 554 — — Depreciation (474) 12 (653) (1,115) Foreign exchange and financial instrument gain (loss) (66) 2 37 (27) Deferred income tax recovery (expense) 29 — (85) (56) Other (155) — (122) (277) Dividends on BEPC exchangeable shares (1) (209) — — (209) Remeasurement of BEPC exchangeable and BEPC class B shares 1,267 — — 1,267 Share of earnings from equity-accounted investments — (14) — (14) Net income attributable to non-controlling interests — — 823 823 Net income (loss) attributable to the partnership $ 946 $ — $ — $ 946 (1) Share of earnings from equity-accounted investments of $2 million is comprised of amounts found on the Share of revenue, other income and direct operating costs, Share of interest and cash taxes and Share of earnings lines.

For the hydroelectric assets in Brazil, cash flows have been included based on the duration of the authorization or useful life of a concession asset plus a one-time 30-year renewal term for the majority of the hydroelectric assets. The weighted-average remaining duration of the authorization or useful life of a concession asset at December 31, 2021, including a one-time 30-year renewal for applicable hydroelectric assets, is 31 years (2020: 32 years). Consequently, there is no terminal value attributed to the hydroelectric assets in Brazil at the end of the authorization term.

The company’s long-term view is anchored to the cost of securing new energy from renewable sources to meet future demand growth between 2025 and 2035. A further one year change would increase or decrease the fair value of property, plant and equipment by approximately $158 million (2020: $191 million). Had the company’s revalued property, plant and equipment been measured on a historical cost basis, the carrying amounts, net of accumulated depreciation would have been as follows at December 31: (MILLIONS) 2021 2020 Hydroelectric $ 9,758 $ 9,955 Wind 4,225 5,015 Solar 5,396 5,419 Other (1) 155 174 $ 19,534 $ 20,563 (1) Includes biomass and cogeneration. |

Intangible assets relate to certain of our power generating facilities that operate under service concession arrangements in South America. We primarily benefit from a government promoted concession agreement and a long-term PPA with UTE - Administracion Nacional de Usinas y Transmisiones Electricas, the Republic of Uruguay’s state-owned electricity company. Under this PPA, we are required to deliver power at a fixed rate for the contract period, in all cases inflation adjusted. The company's service concession assets operate as authorizations that expire between 2033 and 2038. The remaining intangible assets are amortized straight-line over 17 to 20 years. Under these arrangements, the company recognized $33 million of revenue for the year ended December 31, 2021 (2020: $35 million and 2019: $36 million). |

LONG-TERM DEBT AND CREDIT FACILITIES [Abstract] | |
BORROWINGS | BORROWINGS Non-recourse borrowings Non-recourse borrowings are typically asset-specific, long-term, and non-recourse borrowings denominated in the domestic currency of the subsidiary. Non-recourse borrowings in the United States and Europe consist of both fixed and floating interest rate debt indexed to the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) and the Euro Interbank Offered Rate ("EURIBOR"). The company uses interest rate swap agreements in the United States and Colombia to minimize its exposure to floating interest rates. Non-recourse borrowings in Brazil consist of floating interest rates of Taxa de Juros de Longo Prazo (“TJLP”), the Brazil National Bank for Economic Development’s long-term interest rate, or Interbank Deposit Certificate rate (“CDI”), plus a margin. Non-recourse borrowings in Colombia include floating interest rates of Indicador Bancario de Referencia rate (“IBR”), the Banco Central de Colombia short-term interest rate, or Colombian Consumer Price Index (“IPC”), the Banco Central de Colombia inflation rate, plus a margin. Effective January 1, 2022. Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”) will replace £ LIBOR, and Euro Short-term Rate (“€STR”) will replace € LIBOR. It is also currently expected that Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) will replace US$ LIBOR prior to June 30, 2023. As at December 31, 2021, none of the company’s floating rate borrowings have been impacted by these reforms. The composition of non-recourse borrowings as at December 31 is presented in the following table: December 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 Weighted-average Weighted-average (MILLIONS EXCEPT AS NOTED) Weighted-average interest rate (%) Term (years) (2) Carrying value Estimated fair value Weighted-average interest rate (%) Term (years) Carrying value Estimated fair value Non-recourse borrowings (1) Hydroelectric 5.1 7 $ 6,160 $ 6,543 4.9 8 $ 5,412 $ 6,108 Wind 3.7 9 2,416 2,577 3.8 10 3,041 3,428 Solar 4.1 13 4,110 4,365 3.4 12 3,480 4,038 Energy transition 3.9 12 860 912 3.8 12 926 1,021 Total 4.5 9 13,546 $ 14,397 4.1 10 12,859 $ 14,595 Add: Unamortized premiums (3) 57 56 Less: Unamortized financing fees (3) (91) (93) Less: Current portion (1,452) (775) $ 12,060 $ 12,047 (1) Includes $8 million (2020: $9 million) borrowed under a subscription facility of a Brookfield sponsored private fund.

The BEPC exchangeable shares and class B shares issued pursuant to the special distribution and the TerraForm Power acquisition were recognized at their fair value of $28.28 per share. Subsequent to initial recognition, the BEPC exchangeable shares and the BEPC class B shares are recognized at amortized cost and remeasured to reflect changes in the contractual cash flows associated with the shares. These contractual cash flows are based on the price of one BEP unit. As at December 31, 2021, the BEPC exchangeable shares and class B shares were remeasured to $35.79 per share to reflect the NYSE closing price of a BEP unit. Remeasurement gains or losses associated with these shares are recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss). During the year ended December 31, 2021, our shareholders exchanged 16,071 BEPC exchangeable shares for an equal number of BEP units resulting in a decrease of $1 million to our financial liability ( 2020: 136,520 shares resulting in a $4 million decrease). The company declared and paid dividends of $209 million and $207 million, respectively ( 2020: $116 million and $100 million, respectively) on its BEPC exchangeable shares outstanding during the year ended December 31, 2021.

While the final outcome of such legal proceedings and actions cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such proceedings and actions will not have a material impact on the company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations. On December 22, 2020, our subsidiary, TerraForm Power, received an adverse summary judgment ruling in connection with litigation relating to an historical contractual dispute. This litigation predated the 2017 acquisition of an initial 51% interest in TerraForm Power by Brookfield Renewable and its institutional partners and related to an allegation that TerraForm Power was obligated to make earn-out payments in connection with the acquisition of certain development assets by TerraForm Power’s former parent company from a third party. The court’s ruling in favor of the plaintiffs awarded approximately $231 million plus 9% annual non-compounding interest that has accrued at the New York State statutory rate since May 2016. During the year, TerraForm Power reached a final settlement with the plaintiffs. The settlement amount paid by TerraForm Power was approximately $50 million less than the amount of the court’s ruling, inclusive of accrued interest. A partially-owned subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable that holds shares in TerraForm Power was contractually entitled to be issued additional TerraForm Power shares as compensation for the cost of the litigation. This issuance took place during the year and resulted in the immaterial dilution of the company’s interest in TerraForm Power. During the year, TerraForm Power initiated legal proceedings to seek to recover the settlement amount and its costs incurred in connection with its defense of the underlying dispute. The company’s subsidiaries themselves have provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance. The company, along with institutional investors, has provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance as it relates to interests in the Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, the Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV and Brookfield Global Transition Fund. The company’s subsidiaries have similarly provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance. Letters of credit issued by the company's subsidiaries as at December 31, 2021 were $698 million (2020: $687 million). Guarantees In the normal course of operations, the company executes agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third-parties of transactions such as business dispositions, capital project purchases, business acquisitions, sales and purchases of assets and services, and the transfer of tax credits or renewable energy grants from tax equity partnerships. The company has also agreed to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings and guarantee agreements prevents the company from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that the company could be required to pay third parties as the agreements do not always specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Two subsidiaries of the company fully and unconditionally guaranteed (i) the medium term notes issued and payable by Brookfield Renewable Partners ULC, a finance subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, (ii) the senior preferred shares of Brookfield Renewable Power Preferred Equity Inc., (iii) certain preferred units of Brookfield Renewable, (iv) the obligations of Brookfield Renewable under its bilateral credit facilities and (v) notes issued by Brookfield BRP Holdings (Canada) Inc. under its U.S. commercial paper program. BRP Bermuda Holdings I Limited (“BBHI”) a subsidiary of the company have guaranteed the perpetual subordinated notes issued by Brookfield BRP Holdings (Canada) Inc. These arrangements do not have or are not reasonably likely to have a material current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors. |

Disclosure of transactions between related parties [abstract] | |
RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS | RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS The company’s related party transactions are recorded at the exchange amount. The company’s related party transactions are primarily with the partnership and Brookfield. Management Agreements Master Services Agreement Since inception, our parent company has had a management agreement (the “Master Services Agreement”) with certain service providers (the “Service Provider”), which are wholly-owned subsidiaries of Brookfield Asset Management. The Master Services Agreement was amended in connection with the completion of the special distribution to include BEPC as a service recipient. The company’s annual consolidated financial statements include general corporate expenses of the partnership which were not historically allocated to the company’s operations. These expenses relate to management fees payable to Brookfield Asset Management and direct operating costs incurred by a subsidiary of the partnership. These allocated expenses have been included as appropriate in the company’s consolidated statements of income. Key decision makers of the company are employees of the ultimate parent company who provide management services under the company’s Master Services Agreement. However, the financial statements may not include all of the expenses that would have been incurred and may not reflect the company’s annual consolidated results of operations, financial position and cash flows had it been a standalone company during the periods presented. It is not practicable to estimate the actual costs that would have been incurred had the company been a standalone business during the periods presented as this would depend on multiple factors, including organizational structure and infrastructure. Pursuant to the Master Services Agreement, on a quarterly basis, Brookfield Renewable pays a management fee, referred to as the management service costs, to the Service Provider equal to a fixed quarterly component of $5 million per quarter, adjusted for inflation, and a variable component calculated as a percentage of the increase in the total capitalization value of Brookfield Renewable over an initial reference value (subject to an annual escalation by a specified inflation factor beginning on January 1, 2013) (the "Base Management Fee"). For purposes of calculating the management service costs, the market value of Brookfield Renewable is equal to the aggregate value of all the outstanding units and other securities issued by the service recipients, plus all outstanding third-party debt with recourse to a recipient of services under the Master Services Agreement, less all cash held by such entities. The company will be responsible for reimbursing the partnership or its subsidiaries, as the case may be, for BEPC's proportionate share of the Base Management Fee. BEPC's proportionate share of the Base Management Fee will be calculated on the basis of the value of BEPC's business relative to that of the partnership. The Base Management Fee for the year ended December 31, 2021 was $175 million (2020: $129 million and 2019: $82 million) Relationship Agreement Since inception, Brookfield Renewable has had a Relationship Agreement with Brookfield pursuant to which Brookfield has agreed, subject to certain exceptions, that Brookfield Renewable will serve as its primary vehicle through which it will directly or indirectly, acquire renewable power assets on a global basis. The company, being a controlled subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable is entitled to the benefits and subject to certain obligations under the Relationship Agreement. TERP Brookfield Master Services Agreement Since the acquisition of TerraForm Power on October 16, 2017, TerraForm Power had a management agreement (“TERP Brookfield Master Services Agreement”) with Brookfield. Prior to the company's acquisition of TerraForm Power, pursuant to the TerraForm Power Master Services Agreements, TerraForm Power paid management service costs on a quarterly basis calculated as follows: • For each of the first four quarters following October 16, 2017, a fixed component of $2.5 million per quarter (subject to proration for the quarter including October 16, 2017) plus 0.3125% of the market capitalization value increase for such quarter; • For each of the next four quarters, a fixed component of $3.0 million per quarter adjusted annually for inflation plus 0.3125% of the market capitalization value increase for such quarter; and • Thereafter, a fixed component of $3.75 million per quarter adjusted annually for inflation plus 0.3125% of the market capitalization value increase for such quarter. For purposes of calculating its management service costs, the term market capitalization value increase meant, for any quarter, the increase in value of TerraForm Power’s market capitalization for such quarter, calculated by multiplying the number of outstanding shares of TerraForm Power’s common stock as of the last trading day of such quarter by the difference between (x) the volume weighted average trading price of a share of common stock for the trading days in such quarter and (y) $9.52. If the difference between (x) and (y) in the market capitalization value increase calculation for a quarter was a negative number, then the market capitalization value increase was deemed to be zero. TerraForm Power’s management service costs for the year ended December 31, 2021 of nil (2020: $23 million and 2019: $27 million) have been included in the company’s annual consolidated statement of income based on its historical records. The TERP Brookfield Master Services Agreement was terminated upon the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition by the company on July 31, 2020. Governance Agreement TerraForm Power entered into a governance agreement, referred to as the Governance Agreement, dated October 16, 2017 with Orion Holdings and any controlled affiliate of Brookfield Asset Management (other than TerraForm Power and its controlled affiliates) that by the terms of the Governance Agreement from time to time becomes a party thereto, collectively referred to as the sponsor group. The Governance Agreement established certain rights and obligations of TerraForm Power and controlled affiliates of Brookfield Asset Management that own voting securities of TerraForm Power relating to the governance of TerraForm Power and the relationship between such affiliates of BAM and TerraForm Power and its controlled affiliates. On June 11, 2018, Orion Holdings, NA HoldCo and TerraForm Power entered into a Joinder Agreement pursuant to which NA HoldCo became a party to the Governance Agreement. On June 29, 2018, a second Joinder Agreement was entered into among Orion Holdings, NA HoldCo, BBHC Orion and TerraForm Power pursuant to which BBHC Orion became a party to the Governance Agreement. The Governance Agreement was terminated after the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition by the company on July 31, 2020. Power Services Agreements Energy Marketing Internalization In the first quarter of 2021, the company and the partnership entered into an agreement to fully internalize all energy marketing capabilities in North America into the company. The agreement provides for the transfer for the partnership's Power Agency Agreements and related party power purchase agreements relating to certain power facilities in Maine and New Hampshire held by Great Lakes Holding America ("GLHA"), which are further described below. Certain third-party power purchase agreements were also transferred to the company as part of the Energy Marketing Internalization of the partnership’s North American energy marketing business. The agreement became effective on April 1, 2021. Power Agency Agreements Certain subsidiaries of the company entered into Power Agency Agreements appointing the partnership as their exclusive agent in respect of the sale of electricity, including the procurement of transmission and other additional services. In addition, the partnership scheduled, dispatched and arranged for transmission of the power produced and the power supplied to third-parties in accordance with prudent industry practice. Pursuant to each Agreement, the partnership was entitled to be reimbursed for any third party costs incurred, and, in certain cases, received an additional fee for its services in connection with the sale of power and for providing the other services. On closing of the Energy Marketing Internalization, all Power Agency Agreements were transferred by the partnership to the company. Energy Marketing Agreement Brookfield had agreed to provide energy marketing services to the company. Under this Agreement, the company paid an annual energy marketing fee commensurate to the services received. See Note 7 - Direct operating costs. On closing of the Energy Marketing Internalization, the Energy Marketing Agreement was transferred from Brookfield to the partnership. Other Agreements Other Revenue Agreements Pursuant to a 20-year power purchase agreement, the partnership purchased all energy from several power facilities in Maine and New Hampshire held by GLHA at $37 per MWh. The energy rates were subject to an annual adjustment equal to 20% of the increase in the CPI during the previous year. Upon closing of the Energy Marketing Internalization, the power purchase agreement with GLHA was transferred to the company. Sponsor Line Agreement On October 16, 2017, the company entered into the Sponsor Line with Brookfield Asset Management and one of its affiliates (the “Lenders”). The Sponsor Line establishes a $500 million secured revolving credit facility and provides for the Lenders to commit making LIBOR loans to the company during a period not to exceed three years from the effective date of the Sponsor Line (subject to acceleration for certain specified events). The company may only use the revolving Sponsor Line to fund all or a portion of certain funded acquisitions or growth capital expenditures. The Sponsor Line terminates, and all obligations thereunder become payable, no later than October 16, 2022. Borrowings under the Sponsor Line bear interest at a rate per annum equal to a LIBOR rate determined by reference to the costs of funds for U.S. dollar deposits for the interest period relevant to such borrowing adjusted for certain additional costs, in each case plus 3% per annum. In addition to paying interest on outstanding principal under the Sponsor Line, the company is required to pay a standby fee of 0.5% per annum in respect of the unutilized commitments thereunder, payable quarterly in arrears. The company was permitted to voluntarily reduce the unutilized portion of the commitment amount and repay outstanding loans under the Sponsor Line at any time without premium or penalty, other than customary “breakage” costs. Under certain circumstances, the company may be required to prepay amounts outstanding under the Sponsor Line. During the year ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, the company made no draws on the Sponsor Line. December 31, 2021, there were no amounts drawn under the Sponsor Line. The sponsor line was terminated upon the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition by the company on July 31, 2020. TERP Relationship Agreement TerraForm Power entered into a relationship agreement, referred to as the TERP Relationship Agreement, dated October 16, 2017 with BAM, which governed certain aspects of the relationship between BAM and TerraForm Power. Pursuant to the TERP Relationship Agreement, BAM agreed that TerraForm Power will serve as the primary vehicle through which BAM and certain of its affiliates will own operating wind and solar assets in North America and Western Europe and that BAM will provide, subject to certain terms and conditions, TerraForm Power with a right of first offer on certain operating wind and solar assets that are located in such countries and developed by persons sponsored by or under the control of BAM. The rights of TerraForm Power under the TERP Relationship Agreement are subject to certain exceptions and consent rights set out therein. TerraForm Power did not acquire any renewable energy facilities pursuant to the TERP Relationship Agreement from BAM. The TERP Relationship Agreement was terminated upon the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition by the company on July 31, 2020. TERP Registration Rights Agreement TerraForm Power also entered into a registration rights agreement, referred to as the TERP Registration Rights Agreement, on October 16, 2017 with Orion Holdings. The TERP Registration Rights Agreement governed the rights and obligations of TerraForm Power, on the one hand, and BAM and its affiliates, on the other hand, with respect to the registration for resale of all or a part of TerraForm Power's common stock held by BAM or any of its affiliates that become party to the TERP Registration Rights Agreement. On June 11, 2018, Orion Holdings, NA HoldCo and TerraForm Power entered into a Joinder Agreement pursuant to which NA HoldCo became a party to the TERP Registration Rights Agreement. On June 29, 2018, a second Joinder Agreement was entered into among Orion Holdings, NA HoldCo, BBHC Orion and TerraForm Power pursuant to which BBHC Orion became a party to the TERP Registration Rights Agreement. The TERP Registration Rights Agreement was terminated upon the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition by the company on July 31, 2020. New Terra LLC Agreement TerraForm Power and BRE Delaware, Inc. entered into an amended and restated limited liability company agreement of TerraForm Power, LLC, referred to as the New Terra LLC Agreement, dated October 16, 2017. The New Terra LLC Agreement, among other things, reset the incentive distribution right, or IDR, thresholds of TerraForm Power, LLC to establish a first distribution threshold of $0.93 per share of TerraForm Power's common stock and a second distribution threshold of $1.05 per share of TerraForm Power's common stock. As a result of the New Terra LLC Agreement, amounts distributed from TerraForm Power, LLC are distributed on a quarterly basis as follows: • first, to TerraForm Power in an amount equal to TerraForm Power’s outlays and expenses for such quarter; • second, to holders of TerraForm Power, LLC Class A units, referred to as Class A units, until an amount has been distributed to such holders of Class A units that would result, after taking account of all taxes payable by TerraForm Power in respect of the taxable income attributable to such distribution, in a distribution to holders of shares of TerraForm Power's common stock of $0.93 per share (subject to further adjustment for distributions, combinations or subdivisions of shares of TerraForm Power's common stock) if such amount were distributed to all holders of shares of TerraForm Power common stock; • third, 15% to the holders of the IDRs pro rata and 85% to the holders of Class A units until a further amount has been distributed to holders of Class A units in such quarter that would result, after taking account of all taxes payable by TerraForm Power in respect of the taxable income attributable to such distribution, in a distribution to holders of shares of TerraForm Power's common stock of an additional $0.12 per share (subject to further adjustment for distributions, combinations or subdivisions of shares of TerraForm Power's common stock) if such amount were distributed to all holders of shares of TerraForm Power's common stock; and • thereafter, 75% to holders of Class A units pro rata and 25% to holders of the IDRs pro rata. TerraForm Power made no IDR payments during the year ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019. The New Terra LLC Agreement was amended upon the completion of the TerraForm Power acquisition by Brookfield Renewable on July 31, 2020 to remove TerraForm Power, LLC’s obligations to make IDR payments. Credit facilities and funds on deposit Brookfield has provided a $400 million committed unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in December 2022 and the draws bear interest at LIBOR plus up to 1.8%. During the current period, there were no draws on the committed unsecured revolving credit facility provided by Brookfield. Brookfield may from time to time place funds on deposit with the company which are repayable on demand including any interest accrued. There were nil funds placed on deposit with the company as at December 31, 2021 (2020: nil). The company participates with institutional investors in Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV, Brookfield Infrastructure Debt Fund, and Brookfield Global Transition Fund (“Private Funds”), each of which is a Brookfield sponsored fund, and in connection therewith, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional investors, has access to short-term financing using the Private Funds’ credit facilities.

Basis Of Preparation And Significant Accounting Policies Abstract [Abstract] | |
Statement of compliance and Basis of preparation | Statement of compliance The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”). The accounting policies used in the consolidated financial statements are based on the IFRS applicable as at December 31, 2021, which encompass individual IFRS, International Accounting Standards (“IAS”), and interpretations made by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) and the Standard Interpretations Committee (“SIC”). The policies set out below are consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted. These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of the company on February 28, 2022. Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation. References to $, €, R$, and COP are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars, euros, Brazilian reais and Colombian pesos, respectively. All figures are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted. (b) Basis of presentation The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of property, plant and equipment and certain assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value. Cost is recorded based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets. (c) Consolidation These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the company and its subsidiaries, which are the entities over which the company has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Non-controlling interests in the equity of the company’s subsidiaries are shown separately in equity in the consolidated statements of financial position. The company has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield, whereby the company gained control of the entities that own certain renewable power generating operations. The company has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of its Colombian operations. These voting agreements provide the company the authority to direct the election of the Boards of Directors of the relevant entities, among other things, and therefore provide the company with control. Accordingly, the company consolidates the accounts of these entities. Refer to Note 27 – Related party transactions for further information. For entities previously controlled by Brookfield Asset Management, the voting agreements entered into do not represent business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3, Business Combinations (“IFRS 3”), as all combining businesses are ultimately controlled by Brookfield Asset Management both before and after the transactions were completed. the company accounts for these transactions involving entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interest, which requires the presentation of pre-voting agreement financial information as if the transactions had always been in place. Refer to Note 1(r)(ii) – Critical judgments in applying accounting policies – Common control transactions for the company’s policy on accounting for transactions under common control. Equity-accounted investments Equity-accounted investments are entities over which the company has significant influence or joint arrangements representing joint ventures. Significant influence is the ability to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee, but without controlling or jointly controlling those investees. Such investments are accounted for using the equity method. A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. the company accounts for its interests in joint ventures using the equity method. |
Foreign currency translation | Foreign currency translation All figures reported in the consolidated financial statements and tabular disclosures to the consolidated financial statements are reflected in millions of U.S. dollars, which is the functional currency of the company. Each of the foreign operations included in these consolidated financial statements determines its own functional currency, and items included in the financial statements of each subsidiary are measured using that functional currency. Assets and liabilities of foreign operations having a functional currency other than the U.S. dollar are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and revenues and expenses at the rate of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions during the period. Gains or losses on translation of foreign subsidiaries are included in OCI. Gains or losses on foreign currency denominated balances are reported in the same manner In preparing the consolidated financial statements of the company, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated into the functional currency using the closing rate at the applicable consolidated statement of financial position dates. Non-monetary assets and liabilities, denominated in a foreign currency and measured at fair value, are translated at the rate of exchange prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined and non-monetary assets measured at historical cost are translated at the historical rate. Revenues and expenses are measured in the functional currency at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions with gains or losses included in income. |
Cash and cash equivalents | Cash and cash equivalentsCash and cash equivalents include cash, term deposits and money market instruments with original maturities of less than 90 days. |
Restricted cash | Restricted cash Restricted cash includes cash and cash equivalents, where the availability of funds is restricted primarily by credit agreements. |
Property, plant and equipment and revaluation method | Property, plant and equipment and revaluation method Power generating assets are classified as property, plant and equipment and are accounted for using the revaluation method under IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment (“IAS 16”). Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently carried at their revalued amount, being the fair value at the date of the revaluation, less any subsequent accumulated depreciation and any subsequent accumulated impairment losses. The company generally determines the fair value of its property, plant and equipment by using a 20-year discounted cash flow model for the majority of its assets. This model incorporates future cash flows from long-term power purchase agreements that are in place where it is determined that the power purchase agreements are linked specifically to the related power generating assets. The model also includes estimates of future electricity prices, anticipated long-term average generation, estimated operating and capital expenditures, and assumptions about future inflation rates and discount rates by geographical location. Construction work-in-progress (“CWIP”) is revalued when sufficient information exists to determine fair value using the discounted cash flow method. Revaluations are made on an annual basis as at December 31 to ensure that the carrying amount does not differ significantly from fair value. For power generating assets acquired through business combinations, the company initially measures the assets at fair value consistent with the policy described in Note 1(n) – Business combinations, with no revaluations at year-end in the year of acquisition unless there is external evidence specific to those assets that would indicate the carrying value of the asset has either increased or decreased materially. Where the carrying amount of an asset increased as a result of a revaluation, the increase is recognized in income to the extent the increase reverses a previously recognized decrease recorded through income, with the remainder of the increase recognized in OCI and accumulated in equity under revaluation surplus and non-controlling interest. When the carrying amount of an asset decreases, the decrease is recognized in OCI to the extent that a balance exists in revaluation surplus with respect to the asset, with the remainder of the decrease recognized in income. |
Property, plant and equipment - Depreciation | Depreciation on power generating assets is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated service lives of the assets, which are as follows: Estimated service lives Dams Up to 115 years Penstocks Up to 60 years Powerhouses Up to 115 years Hydroelectric generating units Up to 115 years Wind generating units Up to 30 years Solar generating units Up to 35 years Gas-fired cogenerating (“Cogeneration”) units Up to 40 years Other assets Up to 60 years Costs are allocated to significant components of property, plant and equipment. When items of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (significant components) and depreciated separately. To ensure the accuracy of useful lives and residual values, a review is conducted annually. Depreciation is calculated based on the fair value of the asset less its residual value. Depreciation commences when the asset is in the location and conditions necessary for it to be capable of operating in the manner intended by management. It ceases at the earlier of the date the asset is classified as held-for-sale and the date the asset is derecognized. An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant component is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. Other assets include equipment, buildings and leasehold improvements. Buildings, furniture and fixtures, leasehold improvements and office equipment are recorded at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation. Land and CWIP are not subject to depreciation. The depreciation of property, plant and equipment in Brazil is based on the duration of the authorization or the useful life of a concession asset. The weighted-average remaining duration at December 31, 2021 is 31 years (2020: 32 years). Since land rights are part of the concession or authorization, this cost is also subject to depreciation. Any accumulated depreciation at the date of revaluation is eliminated against the gross carrying amount of the asset, and the net amount is applied to the revalued amount of the asset. Gains and losses on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment are recognized in Other income and Other in the consolidated statements of income (loss), respectively. The revaluation surplus is reclassified within the respective components of equity and not reclassified to net income when the assets are disposed. |
Leases | Leases At inception of a contract, the company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset, the company assesses whether: • the contract specified explicitly or implicitly the use of an identified asset, and that is physically distinct or represents substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; • The company has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and the company has the right to direct the use of the asset. The company has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined, the company has the right to direct the use of the asset if either: ◦ The company has the right to operate the asset (or to direct others to operate the asset in a manner that it determines) throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or ◦ The company designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used. At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the company has elected not to separate non-lease components and, therefore, accounts for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component. The company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received. The right-of use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. The estimated useful lives of right-of-use assets are determined on the same basis as those of property, plant and equipment. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability. The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be readily determined, the company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following: • Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; • Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; • Amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and • The exercise price under a purchase option that the company is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewable period if the company is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless the company is reasonably certain not to terminate early The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when there is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate, if there is a change in the company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, or if the company changes its assessment of whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option. When the lease liability is remeasured in this way, a corresponding adjustment is made either to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset or, when the adjustment is a reduction to the right-of-use asset, is recorded in the consolidated statements of income (loss) if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to nil. The company presents right-of-use assets in property, plant and equipment and lease liabilities in other long-term liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position. |
Asset impairment | Asset impairment |
Trade receivables and other current assets | Trade receivables and other current assetsTrade receivables and other current assets are recognized initially at fair value, and subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any provision for expected credit losses. |
Financial instruments | Financial instruments Initial recognition Under IFRS 9 – Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”), regular purchases and sales of financial assets are recognized on the trade date, being the date on which the company commits to purchase or sell the asset. Financial assets are derecognized when the rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets have expired or have been transferred and the company has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership. At initial recognition, the company measures a financial asset at its fair value. In the case of a financial asset not categorized as fair value through profit and loss (“FVPL”), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition of the financial asset are included at initial recognition. Transaction costs of financial assets carried at FVPL are expensed in income. Classification and measurement Subsequent measurement of financial assets depends on the company’s business objective for managing the asset and the cash flow characteristics of the asset. There are three measurement categories into which the company classifies its financial assets: Amortized cost – Financial assets held for collection of contractual cash flows that represent solely payments of principal and interest are measured at amortized cost. Interest income is recognized as other income in the financial statements, and gains/losses are recognized in income when the asset is derecognized or impaired. FVOCI – Financial assets held to achieve a particular business objective other than short-term trading are designated at fair value through other comprehensive income (“FVOCI”). For equity instruments designated at FVOCI, there is no recycling of gains or losses through income. Upon derecognition of the asset, accumulated gains or losses are transferred from OCI directly to retained earnings. FVPL – Financial assets that do not meet the criteria for amortized cost or FVOCI are measured at FVPL. Gains or losses on these types of assets are recognized in income. The company assesses on a forward-looking basis the expected credit losses (“ECL”) associated with its assets carried at amortized cost and FVOCI. For trade receivables and contract assets, the company applied the simplified approach permitted by IFRS 9, which requires expected lifetime losses to be recognized from initial recognition of the asset. The simplified approach to the recognition of ECL does not require entities to track the changes in credit risk; rather, entities recognize a loss allowance at each reporting date based on the lifetime ECL since the date of initial recognition of the asset. Evidence of impairment may include: • Indications that a debtor or group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty; • A default or delinquency in interest or principal payments; • Probability that a debtor or a group of debtors will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; • Changes in arrears or economic conditions that correlate with defaults, where observable data indicates that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows. Trade receivables are reviewed qualitatively on a case-by-case basis to determine if they need to be written off. ECL are measured as the difference in the present value of the contractual cash flows that are due under contract and the cash flows expected to be received. ECL is measured by considering the risk of default over the contract period and incorporates forward looking information into its measurement. Financial liabilities are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit and loss, amortized cost, or derivatives designated as hedging instruments in an effective hedge. The company determines the classification of its financial liabilities at initial recognition. The company’s financial liabilities include accounts payable and accrued liabilities, corporate borrowings, non-recourse borrowings, derivative liabilities, due to related party balances, and tax equity. Financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value, with subsequent measurement determined based on their classification as follows: FVPL – Financial liabilities held for trading, such as those acquired for the purpose of selling in the near term, derivative financial instruments entered into by the company that do not meet hedge accounting criteria, and tax equity are classified as fair value through profit and loss. Gains or losses on these types of liabilities are recognized in income. The company owns and operates certain projects in the U.S. under tax equity structures to finance the construction of solar and wind projects. Such structures are designed to allocate renewable tax incentives, such as investment tax credits (“ITCs”), production tax credits (“PTCs”) and accelerated tax depreciation, to tax equity investors. Generally, tax equity structures grant the tax equity investors the majority of the project's U.S. taxable earnings and renewable tax incentives, along with a smaller portion of the projects’ cash flows, until a contractually determined point at which the allocations are adjusted (the “Flip Point”). Subsequent to the Flip Point the majority of the project’s U.S. taxable earnings, renewable tax incentives and cash flows are allocated to the sponsor. The Flip Point dates are generally dependent on the underlying projects’ reaching an agreed upon after tax investment return, however, from time to time, the Flip Point dates may be dates specified within the contract. At all times, both before and after the projects’ Flip Point, the company retains control over the projects financed with a tax equity structure. In accordance with the substance of the contractual agreements, the amounts paid by the tax equity investors for their equity stakes are classified as financial instrument liabilities on the consolidated statements of financial position and at each reporting date are remeasured to their fair value in accordance with IFRS 9. The fair value of the tax equity financing is generally comprised of the following elements: Elements affecting the fair value of the tax equity financing Description Production tax credits (PTCs) Allocation of PTCs to the tax equity investor are derived from the power generated during the period. The PTCs are recognized in foreign exchange and financial instrument gain (loss) with a corresponding reduction to the tax equity liability. Taxable loss, including tax attributes such as accelerated tax depreciation Under the terms of the tax equity agreements, the company is required to allocate specified percentages of taxable losses to the tax equity investor. As amounts are allocated, the obligation to deliver them is satisfied and a reduction to the tax equity liability is recorded with a corresponding amount recorded within foreign exchange and financial instrument gain (loss) on the consolidated statements of income (loss). Pay-go contributions Certain of the contracts contain annual production thresholds. When the thresholds are exceeded, the tax equity investor is required to contribute additional cash amounts. The cash amounts paid increase the value of the tax equity liability. Cash distributions Certain of the contracts also require cash distributions to the tax equity investor. Upon payment, the tax equity liability is reduced in the amount of the cash distribution. Amortized cost – All other financial liabilities are classified as amortized cost using the effective interest rate method. Gains and losses are recognized in income when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through the amortization process. Remeasurement gains and losses on financial liabilities classified as amortized cost are presented in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Amortized cost is computed using the effective interest method less any principal repayment or reduction. The calculation takes into account any premium or discount on acquisition and includes transaction costs and fees that are an integral part of the effective interest rate. This category includes trade and other payables, dividends payable, interest-bearing loans and borrowings, and corporate credit facilities. Derivatives and hedge accounting Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The accounting for subsequent changes in fair value depends on whether the derivative is designated as a hedging instrument, and if so, the nature of the item being hedged and the type of hedge relationship designated. The company designates its derivatives as hedges of: • Foreign exchange risk associated with the cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges); • Foreign exchange risk associated with net investment in foreign operations (net investment hedges); • Commodity price risk associated with cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges); and • Floating interest rate risk associated with highly probable payments of debts (cash flow hedges). At the inception of a hedge relationship, the company formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which it wishes to apply hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. A hedging relationship qualifies for hedge accounting if it meets all of the following effectiveness requirements: • 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 actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item. The fair values of various derivative financial instruments used for hedging purposes and movements in the hedge reserve within equity are shown in Note 5 – Risk management and financial instruments. When a hedging instrument expires, is sold, is terminated, or no longer meets the criteria for hedge accounting, any cumulative deferred gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging in equity at that time remain in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. When the forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the cumulative gain or loss and deferred costs of hedging are immediately reclassified to income. If the hedge ratio for risk management purposes is no longer optimal but the risk management objective remains unchanged and the hedge continues to qualify for hedge accounting, the hedge relationship will be rebalanced by adjusting either the volume of the hedging instrument or the volume of the hedged item so that the hedge ratio aligns with the ratio used for risk management purposes. Any hedge ineffectiveness is calculated and accounted for in income at the time of the hedge relationship rebalancing. (i) Cash flow hedges that qualify for hedge accounting The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges is recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity, limited to the cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item on a present value basis from the inception of the hedge. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in income, within foreign exchange and financial instruments gain (loss). Gains and losses relating to the effective portion of the change in fair value of the entire forward contract are recognized in the cash flow hedge reserve within equity. Amounts accumulated in equity are reclassified in the period when the hedged item affects income. (ii) Net investment hedges that qualify for hedge accounting Hedges of net investments in foreign operations are accounted for similarly to cash flow hedges. Any gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the effective portion of the hedge is recognized in OCI and accumulated in reserves in equity. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit and loss within Foreign exchange and financial instruments gain (loss). Gains and losses accumulated in equity will be reclassified to income when the foreign operation is partially disposed of or sold. (iii) Hedge ineffectiveness The company’s hedging policy only allows for the use of derivative instruments that form effective hedge relationships. Sources of hedge effectiveness are determined at the inception of the hedge relationship and measured through periodic prospective effectiveness assessments to ensure that an economic relationship exists between the hedged item and hedging instrument. Where the critical terms of the hedging instrument match exactly with the terms of the hedged item, a qualitative assessment of effectiveness is performed. For other hedge relationships, the hypothetical derivative method to assess effectiveness is used. |
Revenue and expense recognition | Revenue and expense recognition The majority of revenue is derived from the sale of power and power related ancillary services both under contract and in the open market, sourced from the company’s power generating facilities. The obligations are satisfied over time as the customer simultaneously receives and consumes benefits as the company delivers electricity and related products. Revenue is recorded based upon the output delivered and capacity provided at rates specified under either contract terms or prevailing market rates. The revenue reflects the consideration the company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. Costs related to the purchases of power or fuel are recorded upon delivery. All other costs are recorded as incurred. Details of the revenue recognized per technology are included in Note 6 – Segmented information. Where available, the company has elected the practical expedient available under IFRS 15 – Revenue from contracts with customers (“IFRS 15”) for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation and for disclosure requirements of remaining performance obligations. The practical expedient allows an entity to recognize revenue in the amount to which the entity has the right to invoice such that the entity has a right to the consideration in an amount that corresponds directly with the value to the customer for performance completed to date by the entity. If the consideration in a contract that does not apply the practical expedient available under IFRS 15 for measuring progress toward complete satisfaction of a performance obligation includes a variable amount, the company estimates the amount of consideration to which it will be entitled in exchange for transferring the goods to the customer. The variable consideration is estimated at contract inception and constrained until it is highly probable that a significant revenue reversal in the amount of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the associated uncertainty with the variable consideration is subsequently resolved. The company also sells power and related products under bundled arrangements. Energy, capacity and renewable credits within power purchase agreements are considered to be distinct performance obligations. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied under IFRS 15. The company views the sale of energy and capacity as a series of distinct goods that is substantially the same and has the same pattern of transfer measured by the output method. The company views renewable credits to be performance obligations satisfied at a point in time. During the year ended December 31, 2021, revenues recognized at a point in time corresponding to the sale of renewable credits were $181 million (2020: $157 million and 2019: $112 million). Measurement of satisfaction and transfer of control to the customer of renewable credits in a bundled arrangement coincides with the pattern of revenue recognition of the underlying energy generation. Revenues recognized that are outside the scope of IFRS 15 include realized gains and losses from derivatives used in the risk management of the company's generation activities related to commodity prices. From time to time, our company also enters into commodity contracts to hedge all or a portion of its estimated revenue stream when selling electricity to an independent system operated market and there is no PPA available. These commodity contracts require periodic settlements in which our company receives a fixed-price based on specified quantities of electricity and pays the counterparty a variable market price based on the same specified quantity of electricity. As these derivatives are accounted for under hedge accounting, the changes in fair value are recorded in operating revenues in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Financial transactions included in revenues for the year ended |
Income taxes | Income taxes Current income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the amount expected to be paid to tax authorities, net of recoveries, based on the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position dates. Current income tax assets and liabilities are included in trade receivables and other current assets and accounts payable and accrued liabilities, respectively. Deferred tax is recognized on taxable temporary differences between the tax basis and the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities. Deferred tax is not recognized if the temporary difference arises from goodwill or from initial recognition (other than in a business combination) of other assets and liabilities in a transaction that affects neither taxable profit nor accounting profit. Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forwards of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that deductions, tax credits and tax losses can be utilized. The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each statement of financial position date and reduced to the extent it is no longer probable that the income tax assets will be recovered. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the year when the assets are realized or the liabilities settled, using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the statement of financial position dates. Current and deferred income taxes relating to items recognized directly in OCI are also recognized directly in OCI. |
Business combinations | Business combinations The acquisition of a business is accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration for an acquisition is measured at the aggregate of the fair values, at the date of exchange, of the assets transferred, the liabilities incurred to former owners of the acquired business, and equity instruments issued by the acquirer in exchange for control of the acquired business. The acquired business’ identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities that meet the conditions for recognition under IFRS 3 – Business combinations (“IFRS 3”), are recognized at their fair values at the acquisition date, except for income taxes which are measured in accordance with IAS 12 – Income taxes (“IAS 12”), share-based payments which are measured in accordance with IFRS 2 – Share-based payment and non-current assets that are classified as held-for-sale which are measured at fair value less costs to sell in accordance with IFRS 5 – Non-current assets held for sale and discontinued operations. The non-controlling interest in the acquiree is initially measured at the non-controlling interest’s proportion of the net fair value of the identifiable assets, liabilities and contingent liabilities recognized or when applicable, at the fair value of the shares outstanding. To the extent that the aggregate of the fair value of consideration paid, the amount of any non-controlling interest and the fair value of any previously held interest in the acquiree exceeds the fair value of the net identifiable tangible and intangible assets acquired, goodwill is recognized. To the extent that this difference is negative, the amount is recognized as a gain in income. Goodwill is not amortized and is not deductible for tax purposes. However, after initial recognition, goodwill will be measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. An impairment assessment will be performed at least annually, and whenever circumstances such as significant declines in expected revenues, earnings or cash flows indicate that it is more likely than not that goodwill might be impaired. Goodwill impairment charges are not reversible. When a business combination is achieved in stages, previously held interests in the acquired entity are re-measured to fair value at the acquisition date, which is the date control is obtained, and the resulting gain or loss, if any, is recognized in income. Amounts arising from interests in the acquired business prior to the acquisition date that have previously been recognized in OCI are reclassified to income. Upon disposal or loss of control of a subsidiary, the carrying amount of the net assets of the subsidiary (including any OCI relating to the subsidiary) are derecognized with the difference between any proceeds received and the carrying amount of the net assets recognized as a gain or loss in income. Where applicable, the consideration for the acquisition includes any asset or liability resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement, measured at its acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes in fair values are adjusted against the cost of the acquisition where they qualify as measurement period adjustments. All other subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration classified as liabilities will be recognized in the |
Assets held for sale | Assets held for sale Assets and disposal groups are classified as held for sale if their carrying amount will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset or disposal group is available for immediate sale in its present condition. Management must be committed to the sale, which should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within one year from the date of classification subject to limited exceptions. When the company is committed to a sale plan involving loss of control of a subsidiary, all of the assets and liabilities of that subsidiary are classified as held for sale when the criteria described above are met, regardless of whether the company will retain a non-controlling interest in its former subsidiary after the sale. Non-current assets and disposal groups classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Assets classified as held for sale and the assets of a disposal group are presented separately from other assets in the consolidated statements of financial position and are classified as current. The liabilities of a disposal group classified as held for sale are presented separately from other liabilities in the consolidated statements of financial position and are classified as current. Once classified as held for sale, property, plant and equipment and intangible assets are not depreciated or amortized. |
Capitalized costs | Capitalized costs Capitalized costs related to CWIP include all eligible expenditures incurred in connection with acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset. A qualifying asset is an asset that takes a substantial period of time to prepare for its intended use. Interest and borrowing costs related to CWIP are capitalized when activities that are necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are in progress, expenditures for the asset have been incurred and funds have been used or borrowed to fund the construction or development. Capitalization of costs ceases when the asset is ready for its intended use. |
Pension and employees future benefits | Pension and employee future benefits Pension and employee future benefits are recognized in the consolidated financial statements in respect of employees of the operating entities within the company. The costs of retirement benefits for defined benefit plans and post-employment benefits are recognized as the benefits are earned by employees. The projected unit credit method, using the length of service and management’s best estimate assumptions, is used to value pension and other retirement benefits. All actuarial gains and losses are recognized immediately through OCI in order for the net pension asset or liability recognized in the consolidated statements of financial position to reflect the full value of the plan deficit or surplus. Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit asset or liability. Changes in the net defined benefit obligation related to service costs (comprising of current service costs, past services costs, gains and losses on curtailments and non-routine settlements), and net interest expense or income are recognized in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Re-measurements, comprising of actuarial gains or losses, the effect of the asset ceiling, and the return on plan assets (excluding net interest), are recognized immediately in the consolidated statements of financial position with a corresponding debit or credit to OCI in the period in which they occur. Re-measurements are not reclassified to income in subsequent periods. For defined contribution plans, amounts are expensed based on employee entitlement. |
Decommissioning, restoration and environmental liabilities | Decommissioning, restoration and environmental liabilitiesLegal and constructive obligations associated with the retirement of property, plant and equipment are recorded as liabilities when those obligations are incurred and are measured at the present value of the expected costs to settle the liability, using a discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The liability is accreted up to the date the liability will be settled with a corresponding charge to operating expenses. The carrying amount of decommissioning, restoration and environmental liabilities is reviewed annually with changes in the estimates of timing or amount of cash flows added to or deducted from the cost of the related asset. |
Provisions | Provisions A provision is a liability of uncertain timing or amount. A provision is recognized if the company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses. The provision is measured at the present value of the best estimate of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation using a discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. Provisions are re-measured at each statement of financial position date using the current discount rate. The increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as interest expense. |
Interest income | Interest income Interest income is earned with the passage of time and is recorded on an accrual basis. |
Government grants | Government grants The company becomes eligible for government grants by constructing or purchasing renewable power generating assets, and by bringing those assets to commercial operation, coupled with a successful application to the applicable program or agency. The assessment of whether or not a project has complied with the conditions and that there is reasonable assurance the grants will be received will be undertaken on a case-by-case basis. The company reduces the cost of the asset by the amount of the grant. The grant amounts are recognized in income on a systematic basis as a reduction of depreciation over the periods, and in the proportions, in which depreciation on those assets is charged. With respect to grants related to income, the government assistance (in the form of the difference between market price and guaranteed fixed price) typically becomes payable once electricity is produced and delivered to the relevant grid. It is at this point that the receipt of the grant becomes reasonably assured, and therefore the grant is recognized as revenue in the month that delivery of the electricity occurs. |
Critical estimates and judgements in applying accounting policies | Critical estimates The company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying value of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amount of income and other comprehensive income for the year. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The estimates and assumptions that are critical to the determination of the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements relate to the following: (i) Property, plant and equipment The fair value of the company’s property, plant and equipment is calculated using estimates and assumptions about future electricity prices from renewable sources, anticipated long-term average generation, estimated operating and capital expenditures, future inflation rates and discount rates, as described in Note 11 – Property, plant and equipment, at fair value. Judgment is involved in determining the appropriate estimates and assumptions in the valuation of the company’s property, plant and equipment. See Note 1(r)(iii) – Critical judgments in applying accounting policies – Property, plant and equipment for further details. Estimates of useful lives and residual values are used in determining depreciation and amortization. To ensure the accuracy of useful lives and residual values, these estimates are reviewed on an annual basis. (ii) Financial instruments The company makes estimates and assumptions that affect the carrying value of its financial instruments, including estimates and assumptions about future electricity prices, long-term average generation, capacity prices, discount rates, the timing of energy delivery and the elements affecting fair value of the tax equity financings. The fair value of interest rate swaps is the estimated amount that another party would receive or pay to terminate the swap agreements at the reporting date, taking into account current market interest rates. This valuation technique approximates the net present value of future cash flows. See Note 5 – Risk management and financial instruments for more details. (iii) Deferred income taxes The consolidated financial statements include estimates and assumptions for determining the future tax rates applicable to subsidiaries and identifying the temporary differences that relate to each subsidiary. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply during the year when the assets are realized or the liabilities settled, using the tax rates and laws enacted or substantively enacted at the consolidated statement of financial position dates. Operating plans and forecasts are used to estimate when the temporary difference will reverse based on future taxable income. (iv) Decommissioning liabilities Decommissioning costs will be incurred at the end of the operating life of some of the company’s assets. These obligations are typically many years in the future and require judgment to estimate. The estimate of decommissioning costs can vary in response to many factors including changes in relevant legal, regulatory, and environmental requirements, the emergence of new restoration techniques or experience at other power generating facilities. Inherent in the calculations of these costs are assumptions and estimates including the ultimate settlement amounts, inflation factors, discount rates, and timing of settlements. (r) Critical judgments in applying accounting policies The following are the critical judgments that have been made in applying the accounting policies used in the consolidated financial statements that have the most significant effect on the amounts in the consolidated financial statements: (i) Preparation of consolidated financial statements These consolidated financial statements present the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the company. The company exercises judgment in determining whether non-wholly owned subsidiaries are controlled by the company. The company’s judgment included the determination of (i) how the relevant activities of the subsidiary are directed; (ii) whether the rights of shareholdings are substantive or protective in nature; and (iii) the company’s ability to influence the returns of the subsidiary. (ii) Common control transactions Common control business combinations specifically fall outside of scope of IFRS 3 and as such management has used its judgment to determine an appropriate policy to account for these transactions by considering other relevant accounting guidance that is within the framework of principles in IFRS and that reflects the economic reality of the transactions. The company’s policy is to record assets and liabilities recognized as a result of transactions between entities under common control at the carrying value on the transferor’s financial statements, and to have the consolidated statements of income (loss), consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss), consolidated statements of financial position, consolidated statements of changes in equity and consolidated statements of cash flows reflect the results of the combined entities for all periods presented for which the entities were under the transferor’s common control, irrespective of when the combination takes place. Differences between the consideration given and the assets and liabilities received are recorded directly to equity. (iii) Property, plant and equipment The accounting policy relating to the company’s property, plant and equipment is described in Note 1(g) – Property, plant and equipment and revaluation method. In applying this policy, judgment is used in determining whether certain costs are additions to the carrying amount of the property, plant and equipment as opposed to repairs and maintenance that are expensed when incurred. If an asset has been developed, judgment is required to identify the point at which the asset is capable of being used as intended and to identify the directly attributable costs to be included in the carrying value of the development asset. The useful lives of property, plant and equipment are determined by independent engineers periodically with an annual review by management. Annually, the company determines the fair value of its property, plant and equipment using a methodology that it has judged to be reasonable. The methodology for hydroelectric assets is generally a twenty-year discounted cash flow model. Twenty years is the period considered reasonable as the company has twenty-year capital plans and it believes a reasonable third party would be indifferent between extending the cash flows further in the model versus using a discounted terminal value. The methodology for wind, solar and other assets is to align the model length with the expected remaining useful life of the subject assets. The valuation model incorporates future cash flows from long-term power purchase agreements that are in place where it is determined that the power purchase agreements are linked specifically to the related power generating assets. With respect to estimated future generation that does not incorporate long-term power purchase agreement pricing, the cash flow model uses estimates of future electricity prices using broker quotes from independent sources for the years in which there is a liquid market. The valuation of generation not linked to long-term power purchase agreements also requires the development of a long-term estimate of future electricity prices. In this regard the valuation model uses a discount to the all-in cost of construction with a reasonable return to secure energy from a new renewable resource with a similar generation profile to the asset being valued as the benchmark that will establish the market price for electricity for renewable resources. The company’s long-term view is anchored to the cost of securing new energy from renewable sources to meet future demand growth by the years 2026 to 2035 in North America, 2029 in Colombia and 2025 in Brazil. The year of new entry is viewed as the point when generators must build additional capacity to maintain system reliability and provide an adequate level of reserve generation with the retirement of older coal-fired plants and rising environmental compliance costs in North America, and overall increasing demand in Colombia and Brazil. For the North American business, the company has estimated a discount to these new-build renewable asset prices to determine renewable electricity prices for hydroelectric, solar and wind facilities. In Brazil and Colombia, the estimate of future electricity prices is based on a similar approach as applied in North America using a forecast of the all-in cost of development. Terminal values are included in the valuation of hydroelectric assets in North America and Colombia. For the hydroelectric assets in Brazil, cash flows have been included based on the duration of the authorization or useful life of a concession asset with consideration of a one-time thirty-year renewal on qualifying hydroelectric assets. |
Deferred income taxes | Deferred income taxes The accounting policy relating to the company’s income taxes is described in Note 1(m) – Income taxes. In applying this policy, judgments are made in determining the probability of whether deductions, tax credits and tax losses can be utilized. (vi) Earnings per share The company‘s basic and diluted earnings per share have not been presented in the consolidated financial statements. Exchangeable and class B shares are classified as financial liabilities, while class C shares are classified as financial liabilities, but presented as equity instruments given the narrow scope presentation exceptions existing in IAS 32. As each share classification represents a financial liability, they do not constitute ordinary shares. Refer to the aforementioned notes for further details. |
Recently adopted accounting standards and Future changes in accounting policies | Recently adopted accounting standards Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16: Disclosures On August 27, 2020, the IASB published Interest Rate Benchmark Reform – Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 (“Phase II Amendments”), effective January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Phase II Amendments provide additional guidance to address issues that will arise during the transition of benchmark interest rates. The Phase II Amendments primarily relate to the modification of financial assets, financial liabilities and lease liabilities where the basis for determining the contractual cash flows changes as a result of Interbank Offered Rates ("IBOR") reform, allowing for prospective application of the applicable benchmark interest rate and to the application of hedge accounting, providing an exception such that changes in the formal designation and documentation of hedge accounting relationships that are needed to reflect the changes required by IBOR reform do not result in the discontinuation of hedge accounting or the designation of new hedging relationships. The company has completed an assessment and implemented its transition plan to address the impact and effect changes as a result of amendments to the contractual terms of IBOR referenced floating-rate borrowings, interest rate swaps, and updating hedge designations. The adoption did not have a significant impact on the company’s financial reporting. Amendments to IAS 1 – Presentation of Financial Statements (“IAS 1”) The amendments clarify how to classify debt and other liabilities as current or non-current. The amendments to IAS 1 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023. The company is currently assessing the impact of these amendments. Amendments to IFRS 3 Business Combinations - Reference to the Conceptual Framework The amendments add an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential ‘day 2’ gains or losses arising from liabilities and contingent liabilities that would be within the scope of IAS 37 Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets or IFRIC 21 Levies, if incurred separately. The exception requires entities to apply the criteria in IAS 37 or IFRIC 21, respectively, instead of the Conceptual Framework, to determine whether a present obligation exists at the acquisition date. At the same time, the amendments add a new paragraph to IFRS 3 to clarify that contingent assets do not qualify for recognition at the acquisition date. The amendments to IFRS 3 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2022. The company is currently assessing the impact of the amendments. There are currently no other future changes to IFRS with potential impact on the company. |
