In November 2022, Atlantica closed the acquisition of a 49% interest, with joint control, in Chile PMGD, an 80 MW portfolio of solar PV assets in Chile, which is currently starting construction (Note 1). Chile PMGD is accounted for in these Consolidated Financial Statements using the equity method as per IAS 28 – Investments in Associates.

The decrease in investments carried under the equity method in 2022, is primarily due to the distributions received by AYES Canada from Amherst Island Partnership for $20.9 million ($17.7 million in 2021), distributions from Vento II for $32.6 million ($14.8 million in 2021) and from Honaine for $4.0 million ($4.4 million in 2021), partially offset by the share of profit of associates for $21.5 million ($12.3 million in 2021) and the investment made in Chile PMGD in November, 2022 for $4.5 million. A significant portion of the distributions received from Amherst Island Partnership are distributed by the Company to Algonquin Power Co. (Note 13).
