|
•
|
our energy production and sales may be significantly lower than we predict;
|
•
|
our hedging arrangements may be ineffective or more costly;
|
•
|
we may not produce sufficient energy to meet our commitments to sell electricity or RECs and, as a result, we may have to buy electricity or RECs on the open market to cover our obligations or pay damages; and
|
•
|
our wind and solar power plants may not generate sufficient cash flow to make payments of principal and interest as they become due on the notes and our non-recourse debt, and we may have difficulty obtaining financing for future wind power plants.
|
•
|
the construction of a significant number of new power generation plants, including nuclear, coal, natural gas or renewable energy facilities;
|
•
|
the construction of additional electric transmission and distribution lines;
|
•
|
a reduction in the price of natural gas, including as a result of new drilling techniques or a relaxation of associated regulatory standards;
|
•
|
energy conservation technologies and public initiatives to reduce electricity consumption; and
|
•
|
the development of new clean energy technologies that provide less expensive energy.
|
•
|
the risk of a change in renewable power pricing policies, possibly with retroactive effect;
|
•
|
political and economic instability;
|
•
|
measures restricting the ability of our facilities to access the grid to deliver electricity at certain times or at all;
|
•
|
the macroeconomic climate and levels of energy consumption in the countries where we have operations;
|
•
|
the comparative cost of other sources of energy;
|
•
|
changes in taxation policies and/or the regulatory environment in the countries in which we have operations, including reductions to renewable power incentive programs;
|
•
|
the imposition of currency controls and foreign exchange rate fluctuations;
|
•
|
high rates of inflation;
|
•
|
protectionist and other adverse public policies, including local content requirements, import/export tariffs, increased regulations or capital investment requirements;
|
•
|
changes to land use regulations and permitting requirements;
|
•
|
risk of nationalization or other expropriation of private enterprises and land, including creeping regulation that reduces the value of our facilities or governmental incentives associated with renewable energy;
|
•
|
difficulty in timely identifying, attracting and retaining qualified technical and other personnel;
|
•
|
difficulty competing against competitors who may have greater financial resources and/or a more effective or established localized business presence;
|
•
|
difficulties with, and extra-normal costs of, recruiting and retaining local individuals skilled in international business operations;
|
•
|
difficulty in developing any necessary partnerships with local businesses on commercially acceptable terms; and
|
•
|
being subject to the jurisdiction of courts other than those of the United States, which courts may be less favorable to us.
|
•
|
increasing our vulnerability to, and reducing our flexibility to, respond to general adverse economic and industry conditions;
|
•
|
limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the competitive environment and business in which we operate;
|
•
|
limiting our ability to borrow additional amounts to fund the growth of the Company or otherwise meet our obligations;
|
•
|
requiring us to dedicate a significant portion of our revenues to pay the principal of and interest on our indebtedness; and
|
•
|
magnifying the impact of fluctuations in our cash flows on cash available for the payment of dividends to the holders of our Class A common stock.
|
•
|
competing bids for a renewable energy facility, including from companies that may have substantially greater capital and other resources than we do;
|
•
|
fewer third party acquisition opportunities than we expect, which could result from, among other things, available renewable energy facilities having less desirable economic returns or higher risk profiles than we believe suitable for our business plan and investment strategy;
|
•
|
risk relating to our ability to successfully acquire projects from the ROFO portfolio pursuant to the Merger and Sponsorship Transaction with Brookfield; and
|
•
|
our access to the capital markets for equity and debt (including project-level debt) at a cost and on terms that would be accretive to our shareholders.
|
•
|
It is an integral part of Brookfield’s strategy to pursue the acquisition or development of renewable power assets through consortium arrangements with institutional investors, strategic partners or financial sponsors and to form partnerships to pursue acquisitions on a specialized basis. In certain circumstances, acquisitions of operating wind and solar assets in the Company’s primary jurisdictions may be made by other Brookfield vehicles, either with or instead of the Company.
|
•
|
The same professionals within Brookfield’s organization that are involved in acquisitions that are suitable for us are often responsible for the consortiums and partnerships referred to above, as well as having other responsibilities within Brookfield’s broader asset management business. Limits on the availability of such individuals will likewise result in a limitation on the availability of acquisition opportunities for us.
|
•
|
Brookfield will only recommend acquisition opportunities that it believes are suitable for us. The question of whether a particular acquisition is suitable is highly subjective and is dependent on a number of factors including an assessment by Brookfield of our liquidity position, the risk and return profile of the opportunity, and other factors. If Brookfield determines that an opportunity is not suitable for us, it may still pursue such opportunity on its own behalf, or on behalf of a Brookfield-sponsored vehicle.
|

•
|
our cash flows; and

|
•
|
the replacement of aging and conventional power generation facilities in the face of increasing industry challenges, such as regulatory barriers, increasing costs of and difficulties in obtaining and maintaining applicable permits, and the decommissioning of certain types of conventional power generation facilities, such as coal and nuclear facilities;
|
•
|
the ability to couple renewable energy generation with other forms of power generation, creating a hybrid energy solution capable of providing energy on a 24/7 basis while reducing the average cost of electricity obtained through the system;
|
•
|
the desire of energy consumers to lock in long-term pricing of a reliable energy source;
|
•
|
renewable energy generation’s ability to utilize freely available sources of fuel, thus avoiding the risks of price volatility and market disruptions associated with many conventional fuel sources;
|
•
|
environmental concerns over conventional power generation; and
|
•
|
government policies that encourage development of renewable power, such as state or provincial renewable portfolio standard programs, which motivate utilities to procure electricity from renewable resources. In addition to renewable energy, we expect natural gas to grow as a source of electricity generation due to its relatively lower cost and lower environmental impact compared to other fossil fuel sources, such as coal and oil.

The total borrowing capacity under this new facility was increased to $600.0 million on February 6, 2018 as discussed below.
On March 6, 2018, we entered into certain Letter of Credit Facilities, pursuant to which we are required to maintain minimum liquidity of $400.0 million under this new revolving credit facility.

Represents short-term and long-term restricted cash and includes
$21.7 million
of cash trapped at our project-level subsidiaries which is presented as current restricted cash as the cash balances were subject to distribution restrictions related to debt defaults that existed as of the balance sheet date (see
Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
to our consolidated financial statements for additional details). The amount of trapped cash that remains as of the date of the issuance of this Annual Report on Form 10-K is
$11.3 million
and is not needed for us to meet our cash flow needs. We expect to obtain waivers for the remaining defaults in the near-term and do not expect these defaults to affect our ability to meet our liquidity requirements and meet corporate credit facility covenants.

We have revised our organization structure and commenced hiring dedicated key employees, including senior management, with assigned responsibility and accountability for financial reporting processes and internal controls. Further, we will continue to provide ongoing GAAP and internal controls training for all the employees.

|
We are enhancing the information and communication processes to ensure the organization communicates information internally in a timely manner, including information regarding objectives, responsibilities and the functioning of internal controls over financial reporting. These enhancements include more rigorous analysis of the Company’s financial results versus its budgets and operating plans, more frequent discussion of significant business transactions and the impact of these transactions on the Company’s financial reporting, and improving communication to employees regarding their responsibilities for ensuring that effective internal controls are maintained.
|

In addition, we are enhancing the design and implementation of and supporting documentation over management review controls to make clear: (i) management’s expectations related to transactions that are subject to such controls; (ii) the level of precision and criteria used for investigation; and (iii) evidence that all outliers or exceptions that should have been identified are investigated and resolved. Lastly, management is reassessing and enhancing the controls over the utilization of manual spreadsheets and system generated reports.

The Company has eliminated its reliance on SunEdison by transitioning the asset management, operations and maintenance of its renewable energy facilities in-house or to third parties, by hiring directly its own employees and contractors and by establishing its own information technology systems. As a result, management believes they are in a position to operate the business of the Company on a stand-alone basis under Brookfield sponsorship.
|
•
|
The Company has cured or obtained waivers with respect to substantially all of its project-level financing arrangements that were in default during the course of 2016 and 2017 as a result of the SunEdison Bankruptcy and delays in delivering financial statements and other required deliverables. The amount of restricted cash associated with the limited number of defaults that persist that cannot be distributed from the projects as of the date of the issuance of these financial statements is
$11.3 million
and is not needed for the Company to meet its cash flow needs. The Company expects to obtain waivers for these remaining defaults in the near-term and does not expect these defaults to affect its ability to meet its liquidity requirements and meet corporate credit facility covenants.
|
•
|
Finally, during the course of the SunEdison Bankruptcy there was a risk that an interested party in the SunEdison Bankruptcy could request that the assets and liabilities of the Company be substantively consolidated with SunEdison. As a result of SunEdison's emergence from bankruptcy in December of 2017, there is no longer any risk that the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the “Bankruptcy Court”) would order substantive consolidation of the Company with the SunEdison Debtors.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair values of the assets or liabilities.
|
•
|
The amount of purchase price allocated to the various tangible and intangible assets, liabilities and non-controlling interests on the balance sheet;
|
•
|
The amounts allocated to the value of favorable and unfavorable rate PPAs and REC agreements are amortized to revenue over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective arrangement. The amounts allocated to all other tangible assets and intangibles are amortized to depreciation or amortization expense, with the exception of favorable and unfavorable rate land leases and unfavorable rate O&M contracts which are amortized to cost of operations; and
|
•
|
The period of time over which tangible and intangible assets and liabilities are depreciated or amortized varies, and thus, changes in the amounts allocated to these assets and liabilities will have a direct impact on the Company's results of operations.

, there were no potentially dilutive unvested securities. The computation for diluted loss per share of the Company's Class A common stock for the
year ended December 31, 2016
excludes
459,800
of potentially dilutive unvested RSAs and
1,622,953

As of December 31, 2016, TerraForm Power owned
65.7%
of Terra LLC and consolidated the results of Terra LLC through its controlling interest, with SunEdison's
34.3%
interest shown as a non-controlling interest. As discussed in
Note
1.
Nature of Operations and Basis of Presentation
, on October 16, 2017, SunEdison exchanged all of its Class B units in Terra LLC for Class A shares of TerraForm Power, and after giving effect to this exchange, TerraForm Power owned
100%
of Terra LLC. In accordance with ASC 810-10-45-23, the Company reallocated SunEdison's non-controlling interest balance as of such date of
$641.5 million
to additional paid-in capital (which was net of the reallocation of
$0.6 million
of previously allocated accumulated other comprehensive losses back to accumulated other comprehensive income).

As discussed in
Note
5
. Acquisitions
and below, as part of the Settlement Agreement, the Option Agreement between Terra LLC and Sun Edison LLC with respect to Invenergy Wind's remaining
9.9%
interest in certain subsidiaries of the Company was rejected upon the consummation of the Merger with affiliates of Brookfield on October 16, 2017. As a result, the Company is no longer obligated to perform on its Option Agreement, and as of October 16, 2017, the Invenergy Wind non-controlling interest amount of
$131.8 million
was no longer considered redeemable and was reclassified to non-controlling interests as of such date. In addition, as a result of the Company's sale of TerraForm Resi Solar Manager, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company that owned and operated
8.9
MW of residential rooftop solar installations, during the second quarter of 2017 (see
Note
4
. Assets Held for Sale
), the amount of non-controlling interest in this entity of
$8.7 million
was deconsolidated.

Represents costs incurred by SunEdison for services provided to the Company pursuant to the SunEdison MSA in excess of cash paid or payable to SunEdison, as well as stock-based compensation expense related to equity awards in the stock of SunEdison, Inc. and TerraForm Global, Inc. that was allocated to the Company (as discussed in
Note 16. Stock-based Compensation
). The Company did not pay SunEdison the
$7.0 million
base management fee that it was contractually obligated to in 2016 as the amount the Company had to pay third party service providers to cover the services that SunEdison stopped providing exceeded this contractual amount. Since this fee was not paid to SunEdison as of December 31, 2016, it was recorded within Due to affiliates, net and as a reduction to the net equity contribution from SunEdison. Pursuant to the Settlement Agreement and upon the consummation of the Merger on October 16, 2017, this liability was written off to additional paid-in capital as discussed under
Due to affiliates, net
above.

$27.0 million
of charges recorded within general and administrative expenses related to success fees and advisory fees paid to third party advisers upon the closing of the Merger and a

and a
$4 million
gain recognized within general and administrative expenses as a result of the final settlement of the EMEC litigation as discussed in
