1. BASIS OF PREPARATION AND SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
(a) Statement of compliance
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting. 
Certain  information  and  footnote  disclosures  normally  included  in  the  annual  audited  consolidated  financial  statementsprepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International AccountingStandards Board (“IASB”), have been omitted or condensed. These interim consolidated financial statements should be readin  conjunction  with  Brookfield  Renewable’s  December 31,  2019  audited  consolidated  financial  statements.  The  interimconsolidated statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the December 31,2019 audited consolidated financial statements.
The  interim  consolidated  financial  statements  are  unaudited  and  reflect  adjustments  (consisting  of  normal  recurringadjustments) that are, in the opinion of management, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periodsin accordance with IFRS.
The results reported in these interim consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative ofresults that may be expected for an entire year. The policies set out below are consistently applied to all periods presented,unless otherwise noted. 
These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of Brookfield Renewable’sgeneral partner, BRPL, on May 6, 2020.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

All figures are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
(b) Basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluationof property, plant and equipment and certain assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value. Cost is recordedbased on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
Consolidation

4.  RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
RISK MANAGEMENT
Brookfield Renewable`s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (i.e., commodity price risk,interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Brookfield Renewable uses financial instrumentsprimarily to manage these risks.
COVID-19 pandemic has impacted business across the globe and we are monitoring its impact on our business.  While it isdifficult to predict how significant the impact of COVID-19 will be, our business is highly resilient given we are an owner,operator and investor in one of the most critical sectors in the world and have a robust balance sheet with a strong investmentgrade rating.  We generate revenues that are predominantly backed by long-term contracts with well diversified creditworthycounterparties.  The majority of our assets are operated from centralized control centers and our operators around the worldhave implemented contingency plans to ensure operations, maintenance and capital programs continue with little disruption.
There have been no other material changes in exposure to the risks Brookfield Renewable is exposed to since the December 31,2019 audited consolidated financial statements.
Fair value disclosures
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction betweenmarket participants at the measurement date.
Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimatedfuture  cash  flows  and  discount  rates.  In  determining  those  assumptions,  management  looks  primarily  to  external  readilyobservable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves, currency rates, commodity prices and, as applicable, credit spreads.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset is the consideration that would be received in an orderly transaction betweenmarket participants, considering the highest and best use of the asset.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels, described below. Each level
is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.
Level 1 - inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 - inputs, other than quoted prices in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly;and
Level 3 - inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

5. SEGMENTED INFORMATION
Brookfield Renewable’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the chief operating decision makeror “CODM”) review the results of the business, manage operations, and allocate resources based on the type of technology.
Our operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) solar, 4) storage & other (cogeneration and biomass), and 5)corporate – with hydroelectric and wind further segmented by geography (i.e., North America, Colombia, Brazil, Europe andAsia). This  best  reflects  the  way  in  which  the  CODM  reviews  results,  manages  operations  and  allocates  resources. TheColombia  segment  aggregates  the  financial  results  of  its  hydroelectric  and  cogeneration  facilities.  The  Canada  segmentincludes the financial results of our strategic investment in TransAlta Corporation ("TransAlta"). The corporate segmentrepresents all activity performed above the individual segments for the business.
Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources is provided on a proportionatebasis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects Brookfield Renewable’s share from facilities which it accounts for usingconsolidation and the equity method whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significant influence or jointcontrol  over  the  investment,  respectively.  Proportionate  information  provides  a  Unitholder  (holders  of  the  GP  interest,Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, and LP Units) perspective that the CODM considers important when performinginternal  analyses  and  making  strategic  and  operating  decisions.  The  CODM  also  believes  that  providing  proportionateinformation  helps  investors  understand  the  impacts  of  decisions  made  by  management  and  financial  results  allocable  toBrookfield Renewable’s Unitholders.
Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconcilingIFRS data with data presented on a proportionate consolidation basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income,direct operating costs, interest expense, depreciation, current and deferred income taxes, and other are items that will differfrom results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items include Brookfield Renewable’s proportionate share of earningsfrom equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, and exclude the proportionate share ofearnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items.
Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented asequity-accounted  investments  in  its  consolidated  financial  statements.  The  presentation  of  the  assets  and  liabilities  andrevenues and expenses does not represent Brookfield Renewable’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financialstatement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable’s legal claimsor exposures to such items.
Brookfield Renewable reports its results in accordance with these segments and presents prior period segmented informationin a consistent manner.
In accordance with IFRS 8, Operating Segments, Brookfield Renewable discloses information about its reportable segmentsbased  upon  the  measures  used  by  the  CODM  in  assessing  performance.  Except  as  it  relates  to  proportionate  financialinformation discussed above, the accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 –Basis of preparation and significant accounting policies. Brookfield Renewable analyzes the performance of its operatingsegments based on revenues, Adjusted EBITDA, and Funds From Operations. Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operationsare  .  are  not  generally  accepted  accounting  measures  under  IFRS  and  therefore  may  differ  from  definitions  of AdjustedEBITDA and Funds From Operations used by other entities.
Brookfield Renewable uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of its operations before the effects of interest expense,income  taxes,  depreciation,  management  service  costs,  non-controlling  interests,  unrealized  gain  or  loss  on  financialinstruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, distributions to preferred shareholders and preferredlimited partners and other typical non-recurring items.
Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of its operations and is defined as AdjustedEBITDA less management service costs, interest and current income taxes, which is then adjusted for the cash portion ofnon-controlling interests and distributions to preferred shareholders and preferred limited partners.
