Note 17. - Grants and other liabilities
Grants and other liabilities as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 are as
follows:
As of September 30, 2024, the amount recorded in Grants
primarily corresponds to the ITC Grant awarded by the U.S. Department of the Treasury to Solana and Mojave for a total amount of $554
million ($578 million as of December 31, 2023). The amount recorded in Grants as a liability is progressively recorded as other income
over the useful life of the asset.
The remaining balance of the “Grants” account corresponds to
loans with interest rates below market rates for Solana and Mojave for a total amount of $253 million as of September 30, 2024 ($273 million as of December 31, 2023). Loans with the Federal Financing Bank guaranteed by the Department of Energy for these projects bear interest at a
rate below market rates for these types of projects and terms. The difference between proceeds received from these loans and its fair value, is initially recorded as “Grants” in the consolidated statement of financial position, and subsequently
recorded progressively in “Other operating income”.
Total amount of income for these two types of grants for Solana and Mojave is $43.6 million and $43.8 million for the nine-month periods ended
September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively (Note 19).
The “Accruals on Spanish market prices differences” corresponds to the differences that occur in each financial year between revenue from the sale
of energy at the estimated price determined by the Administration in Spain in accordance with the reasonable profitability scheme determined by law, and the revenue from the sale of energy at the actual average market price in the year. These
market price differences are regularized through the compensation and adjustment of the parameters which serve as a basis for calculating the regulated revenue compensation to be received from the Administration in Spain over the remaining
regulatory life of the solar assets of the Company to obtain the guaranteed profitability for each solar asset. Current portion amounts to $16.1
million as of September 30, 2024 and $12.5 million as of December 31, 2023 (Note 18).
