edges I. Financial Instruments Classification and Measurement IFRS 9 introduced the requirement to classify and measure financial assets based on their contractual cash flow characteristics and the Company’s business model for the financial asset. All financial assets and liabilities, including derivatives, are recognized at fair value on the Consolidated Statements of Financial Position when the Company becomes party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument or non-financialderivative contract. Financial assets must be classified and measured at either amortized cost, at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), or at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss) (FVTOCI). Financial assets with contractual cash flows arising on specified dates, consisting solely of principal and interest, and that are held within a business model whose objective is to collect the contractual cash flows, are subsequently measured at amortized cost.

Once achieved, the arrangements flip, with the Company then receiving the majority of earnings, cash flows and tax benefits. At that time, the tax equity investor’s investment is subsequently considered residual equity ownership, with distributions classified as non-controllinginterest. In applying the effective interest method to tax equity financings, the Company has made an accounting policy choice to recognize the impacts of the tax attributes in net interest expense. The Company enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to commodity price risk, interest rate risk and foreign currency exchange risk, including fixed price financial swaps, long-term physical power sale contracts, foreign exchange forward contracts, interest rate swap contracts, and designating foreign currency debt as a hedge of net investments in foreign operations.
