Production in the U.S. solar portfolio increased by 1.1% compared to the same period of the previous year due to better performance of the Mojave asset, partly offsetting lower solar radiation in the third
quarter of 2020 caused by smoke from the California wildfires.
|
• |
Production in Spain decreased compared to the same period in 2019 due to lower solar radiation in the first half of 2020.
|
• |
In South Africa, production decreased mainly due to an unscheduled outage in the first quarter of 2020, which affected electrical equipment. Damage and business interruption costs were covered by insurance,
after customary deductibles and the plant is currently producing at full capacity.
|
• |
Finally, production from wind assets increased by 5.5% compared with the same period in 2019, as a result of good wind resources along with stable performance of the assets.

they do not reflect our cash expenditures, future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual commitments;

they do not reflect changes in, or cash requirements for, our working capital needs;

they may not reflect the significant interest expense, or the cash requirements necessary, to service interest or principal payments, on our debts;
|

although depreciation and amortization are non-cash charges, the assets being depreciated and amortized will often need to be replaced in the future and Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD do not reflect any cash
requirements that would be required for such replacements;
|
• |
some of the exceptional items that we eliminate in calculating Adjusted EBITDA reflect cash payments that were made, or will be made in the future; and
|
• |
the fact that other companies in our industry may calculate Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD differently than we do, which limits their usefulness as comparative measures.
