In July 2024, Honda 2, our 10 MW plant in Colombia where we have a 50% ownership interest, entered in operation. The plant has a 7-year PPA with Enel Colombia.
|
• |
In August 2024, ATN Expansion 3, a substation and a 2.4-mile transmission line connected to our ATN transmission line reached commercial operation. The asset has a 17-year transmission service agreement denominated in U.S. dollars
and serves a new mine in Peru.
|
• |
On October 10, 2024, we entered into a 15-year tolling agreement (PPA) with an investment grade utility for a second phase of the project Overnight that includes 600 MWh of storage (4 hours). Total investment is expected to be
within the range of $240 million to $250 million. Under the tolling agreement, Overnight will receive fixed monthly payments adjusted by the financial settlement of CAISO’s Day-Ahead market. In addition, we expect to obtain revenue
from ancillary services. The phase 1 of the Overnight project consists of a 150 MW PV project that has a 15-year PPA with an investment grade utility.
|
• |
We continue growing our pipeline of assets under development, which includes as of today approximately 2.18 GW of renewable energy and 10.98 GWh of storage. Approximately 30% of the
projects are PV, 58% storage, 11% wind and 1% others, while 16% of the projects are expected to reach ready to build in 2024 or 2025, 16% are in an advanced development stage and 68% are in early stage.
|
• |
Finally, in September 2024, we entered into a euro-denominated project financing for Caparacena, our PV asset under construction in Spain with COD expected in 2026, and PS 10 & 20, with a local bank for a total amount of €45.0
million. The loan for Caparacena matures in 2041 and will be gradually disbursed as the construction of the asset advances. The loans for PS 10 and PS 20 mature in 2030 and 2033, respectively.
|
• |
they do not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;
|
• |
they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;
|
• |
they may not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary, to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;
|
• |
although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often need to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA, CAFD and CAFD per share do not reflect any cash requirements
that would be required for such replacements;
|
• |
some of the exceptional items that we eliminate in calculating Adjusted EBITDA reflect cash payments that were made, or will be made in the future; and
|
• |
the fact that other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA, CAFD and CAFD per share differently than we do, which limits their usefulness as comparative measures.
