On October 30, 2023, the conditions to classify the investment in Pemcorp as held for sale were met. As a consequence, the book value of the equity investment held by Atlantica in Pemcorp of US$ 10.2 million is classified as held for sale in these Consolidated Financial Statements from that date (Note 8).

Other variations in investments carried under the equity method in 2023 are primarily due to:

Distributions:

In 2023, the Company received distributions from Amherst Island Partnership for $17.3 million ($20.9 million in 2022), distributions from Vento II for $16.1 million ($32.6 million in 2022) and distributions from Honaine for $5.4 million ($4.0 million in 2022). A significant portion of the distributions received from Amherst Island Partnership are distributed by the Company to Algonquin Power Co. (Note 14).

New entities carried under the equity method

On March 1, 2023, Atlantica sold part of its equity interest in the Colombian portfolio of renewable energy entities to a partner, which now holds a 50% equity interest. The Colombian portfolio of renewable energy entities includes the following entities: Atlantica – HIC Renovables S.A.S., SJ Renovables Sun 1 S.A.S., AC Renovables Sol 1 S.A.S., SJ Renovables Wind 1 S.A.S., PA Renovables Sol 1 S.A.S. and Atlantica Hidro Colombia S.A.S. Atlantica and the partner hold 50% of the shares each and have joint control over these entities in accordance with IFRS 11, Joint arrangements. As a result, the subsidiaries, which were previously fully consolidated showing 30% of non-controlling interest, are now recorded as an investment in joint ventures under the equity method in these Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with IAS 28, Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures. The carrying amount of the non-controlling interests in these entities was derecognized at the date control was lost by Atlantica. Further to the sale of part of its equity interest, Atlantica recorded a gain of $4.6 million as Other operating income in the year 2023 (Note 22).

Share of profit

The profit decreases in 2023 compared to 2022 primarily due to a lower profit at Vento II resulting from lower production and a lower price at Lone Star II after its PPA expired in January 2023.

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 under construction (Note 1). Chile PMGD is accounted for in these Consolidated Financial Statements using the equity method as per IAS 28 – Investments in Associates and Joint ventures.
