Equity Earnings - GPIP International Paper recorded equity earnings of $46 million on its 20.5% ownership position in GPIP in 2018.
The Company received cash dividends from the investment of $25 million in 2018.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES Overview A major factor in International Paper’s liquidity and capital resource planning is its generation of operating cash flow, which is highly sensitive to changes in the pricing and demand for our major products.
While changes in key cash operating costs, such as energy, raw material, mill outage and transportation costs, do have an effect on operating cash generation, we believe that our focus on pricing and cost controls has improved our cash flow generation over an operating cycle.
Cash uses during 2018 were primarily focused on working capital requirements, capital spending, debt reductions and returning cash to shareholders through dividends and share repurchases under the Company's share repurchase program.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities Cash provided by operations, including discontinued operations, totaled $3.2 billion in 2018, compared with $1.8 billion for 2017, and $2.5 billion for 2016.
Cash used by working capital components (accounts receivable, contract assets and inventory less accounts payable and accrued liabilities, interest payable and other) totaled $439 million in 2018, compared with cash used by working capital components of $402 million in 2017, and cash provided by working capital components of $71 million in 2016.
Investment Activities Including discontinued operations, investment activities in 2018 increased from 2017, as 2018 included higher capital spending.
In 2016, investment activity included the purchase of Weyerhaeuser's pulp business for $2.2 billion in cash, the purchase of the Holmen business for $57 million in cash, net of cash acquired, and proceeds from the sale of the Asia Packaging business of $108 million, net of cash divested.
The Company maintains an average capital spending target around depreciation and amortization levels, or modestly above, due to strategic plans over the course of an economic cycle.
Capital spending was $1.6 billion in 2018, or 118% of depreciation and amortization, compared with $1.4 billion in 2017, or 98% of depreciation and amortization, and $1.3 billion, or 110% of depreciation and amortization in 2016.
Across our segments, capital spending as a percentage of depreciation and amortization ranged from 69.8% to 132.1% in 2018.
The following table shows capital spending for operations by business segment for the years ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, excluding amounts related to discontinued operations of $111 million in 2017 and $107 million in 2016.

Certain of the contracted assets acquired by NRG Yield, Inc.  in July 2013 were in development in 2013 and are further described below, including Alpine, Borrego and CVSR.
On December 31, 2013, a subsidiary of NRG Yield, Inc.  acquired a 100% interest in Energy Systems Company, or Energy Systems.
Energy Systems is an operator of steam and chilled thermal facilities that provides heating and cooling services to nonresidential customers in Omaha, Nebraska.
Renewable Development and Acquisitions As part of its core strategy, NRG intends to continue to own, operate and invest in the development and acquisition of renewable energy projects.
NRG's renewable strategy is intended to capitalize on scale and first mover advantage in a high growth segment of the energy sector and the Company's existing wholesale and retail businesses in states with policies and market opportunities conducive to the development of a growing utility scale and distributed solar business.
In particular, as the installed cost of new renewable resources continues to decline, the Company intends to target opportunities in markets where alternative energy solutions have, or are becoming, increasingly price competitive to system power and the electricity distribution systems have become increasingly susceptible to service disruption as a result of, among other factors, extreme weather.
This section briefly describes the Company's most notable current activities in renewable development.
Solar NRG has acquired and is developing a number of solar projects utilizing photovoltaic, or PV, as well as solar thermal technologies.
