Basis of Presentation
These unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are prepared and presented in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“USGAAP”). The significant accounting policies applied to these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements are consistent with those disclosed in the audited consolidated financial statements as at and for the year ended December 31, 2025.
In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements include all adjustments that are of a recurring nature and necessary to fairly state the financial position of Emera. Financial results for this interim period are not necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the year ending December 31, 2026.
All dollar amounts are presented in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise indicated.
Use of Management Estimates
The preparation of unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements in accordance with USGAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These may affect reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and reported amounts of revenues and expenses during reporting periods. Significant areas requiring use of management estimates relate to rate-regulated assets and liabilities, accumulated reserve for cost of removal, pension and post-retirement benefits, unbilled revenue, useful lives for depreciable assets, goodwill and long-lived assets impairment assessments, income taxes, asset retirement obligations, and valuation of financial instruments. Management evaluates the Company’s estimates on an ongoing basis based upon historical experience, current and expected conditions and assumptions believed to be reasonable at the time the assumption is made, with any adjustments recognized in income in the year they arise. There were no material changes in the nature of the Company’s critical accounting estimates from those disclosed in Emera’s 2025 annual audited consolidated financial statements.
9
Seasonal Nature of Operations
Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for the full year, primarily due to seasonal factors. Electricity and gas sales, and related transmission and distribution, vary during the year. The first quarter provides strong earnings contributions from the Canadian Electric Utilities and Gas Utilities and Infrastructure segments, where winter is the peak electricity and gas usage season. The third quarter provides strong earnings contributions from the Florida Electric Utility segment due to summer being the heaviest electric consumption season. Certain quarters may also be impacted by weather and the number and severity of storms.
Cybersecurity Incident
On April 25, 2025, Emera and NSPI discovered a cybersecurity incident (the “Cybersecurity Incident”) involving unauthorized access into certain parts of its Canadian information technology (“IT”) network and servers supporting portions of its business applications. There was no disruption to the Canadian physical operations or to Emera’s US or Caribbean utilities’ operations.
The Company implemented business continuity processes for certain impacted business and administrative functions at its Canadian affiliates. The systematic restoration of affected IT systems and corresponding transition away from business continuity processes continues to progress in a planned, controlled and phased approach. The Company maintains cyber insurance coverage and is working with its insurer on the claims process.
2. FUTURE ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
The Company considers the applicability and impact of all Accounting Standard Updates (“ASU”) issued by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”). The following updates have been issued by the FASB but, as allowed, have not yet been adopted by Emera. Any ASUs not included below were assessed and determined to be either not applicable to the Company or to have an insignificant impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities
In December 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-10, Government Grants (Topic 832) – Accounting for Government Grants Received by Business Entities. The ASU adds guidance to ASC 832 on the recognition, measurement, and presentation of government grants. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2028, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The standard updates are to be applied using either a modified prospective, modified retrospective, or full retrospective approach, as detailed in the ASU. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the standard update on its consolidated financial statements.
Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software
In September 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-06, Intangibles – Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Targeted Improvements to the Accounting for Internal-Use Software. The standard update modernizes accounting for internal-use software by eliminating references to project stages and clarifying the threshold to begin capitalizing costs. The standard update also specifies that the disclosure requirements under ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, apply to capitalized software costs accounted under ASC 350-40. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, and interim reporting periods within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted. The standard updates are to be applied using either a prospective, retrospective, or modified transition approach. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the standard update on its consolidated financial statements.
10
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, Income Statement Reporting – Comprehensive Income – Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. The standard update improves the disclosures about a public business entity’s expenses by requiring more detailed information about the types of expenses (including purchases of inventory, employee compensation, depreciation and amortization) included within income statement expense captions. The guidance will be effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The standard updates are to be applied prospectively with the option for retrospective application. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adoption of the standard update on its consolidated financial statements disclosures.
3. DISPOSITIONS
Pending Sale of GBPC
On May 5, 2026, Emera entered into an agreement to sell its 100 per cent interest in GBPC. The transaction is expected to close by the end of May 2026.
Pending Sale of NMGC
On August 5, 2024, Emera entered into an agreement to sell its indirect wholly-owned subsidiary NMGC for a total enterprise value of approximately $1.3 billion USD, consisting of cash proceeds and the transfer of debt and customary closing adjustments. The transaction is now expected to close in mid-2026. As a result of the pending sale, NMGC’s assets and liabilities were classified as held for sale beginning Q3 2024 and the carrying value of the assets and liabilities were adjusted to FV less cost to sell. At each reporting date, the Company performs an assessment of the FV of the disposal group by comparing the FV of expected transaction proceeds, less costs to sell, to the carrying value of net assets, including goodwill. There were no impairment or FV less costs to sell adjustments recorded in Q1 2026.
The Company will continue to record depreciation on the NMGC assets through the transaction closing date, as the depreciation continues to be reflected in customer rates and will be reflected in the carryover basis of the assets when sold. Depreciation and amortization of $115 million ($83 million USD) was recorded on these assets from August 5, 2024, the date they were classified as held for sale, through March 31, 2026. Of the $115 million ($83 million USD) recorded to date, $18 million ($13 million USD) was recorded in 2026.

(1) All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated on consolidation except for certain transactions between non-regulated and regulated entities. Management believes elimination of these transactions would understate PP&E, OM&G, or regulated fuel for generation and purchased power. Inter-company transactions that have not been eliminated are measured at the amount of consideration established and agreed to by the related parties. Eliminated transactions are included in determining reportable segments.
(2) Segment net income is reported on a basis that includes internally allocated financing costs of $6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026, between the Gas Utilities and Infrastructure and Other segments (2025 – $6 million).

Remaining Performance Obligations:
Remaining performance obligations primarily represent gas transportation contracts, and long-term steam supply arrangements with fixed contract terms. As of March 31, 2026, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $338 million (2025 – $480 million), including $10 million related to NMGC. This amount includes $120 million of future performance obligations related to a gas transportation contract between SeaCoast and PGS through 2040, and $21 million of future performance obligations related to asset management agreements between PGS and EES through 2030. This amount excludes contracts with an original expected length of one year or less and variable amounts for which Emera recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for services performed. Emera expects to recognize revenue for the remaining performance obligations through 2040.

Florida Electric Utility
On February 3, 2025, the Floria Public Service Commission (“FPSC”) issued the final order approving the rate case decision, effective January 1, 2025. In March 2025, two intervening parties each filed a notice of appeal to the Florida Supreme Court regarding the outcome of TEC’s 2024 base rate proceeding. To date, the intervening parties have not filed their briefs related to the appeal. On January 12, 2026, the intervening parties filed their briefs related to the appeal. On April 13, 2026, the FPSC and TEC filed responses to the briefs. To date, the Florida Supreme Court has not made a decision regarding this case.

Canadian Electric Utilities
NSPI
On April 30, 2026, the Nova Scotia Energy Board (“NSEB”) approved the General Rate Application (“GRA”) with changes effective May 1, 2026. This results in an average annual customer rate increase of 1.2 per cent, and a further average increase of 2.5 per cent on January 1, 2027. Any under or over-recovery of fuel costs is addressed through the NSEB’s established FAM process. NSPI’s return on equity range will continue to be 8.75 per cent to 9.25 per cent, based on a common equity component of up to 40 per cent. The NSEB also approved the depreciation study completed in 2025 and continuation of the storm rider for each of 2026 and 2027. Additionally, the NSEB approved deferral of depreciation and financing costs for assets within the scope of NSPI’s Decarbonization Deferral Account as of December 31, 2025. NSPI has proposed to recover these costs through a securitization transaction, the timing of which requires final support from the Province of Nova Scotia.

Canadian Tax Legislation Changes:
On March 26, 2026, Bill C-15, an Act to implement certain provisions of the 2025 budget tabled in Parliament on November 4, 2025, was enacted. Bill C-15, among other measures, reinstates the Accelerated Investment Incentive (“AII”) and introduces the Clean Electricity Investment Tax Credit (“CEITC”). The AII provides enhanced first-year capital cost allowance deductions, while the CEITC is a refundable tax credit of 15 per cent, reduced to 5 per cent if prescribed labour requirements are not met, on eligible property, including interprovincial and territorial transmission assets and qualifying refurbishments on eligible property. The enactment of Bill C-15 did not have a material impact on the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2026.

12. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS
The Company enters into futures, forwards, swaps and option contracts as part of its risk management strategy to limit exposure to:
| ● | commodity price fluctuations related to the purchase and sale of commodities in the course of normal operations; |
| ● | foreign exchange (“FX”) fluctuations on foreign currency denominated purchases and sales; |
| ● | interest rate fluctuations on debt securities; and |
| ● | share price fluctuations on stock-based compensation. |
The Company also enters into physical contracts for energy commodities. Collectively, these contracts are considered “derivatives”. The Company accounts for derivatives under one of the following four approaches:
| 1. | Physical contracts that meet the normal purchases normal sales (“NPNS”) exemption are not recognized on the balance sheet; they are recognized in income when they settle. A physical contract generally qualifies for the NPNS exemption if the transaction is reasonable in relation to the Company’s business needs, the counterparty owns or controls resources within the proximity to allow for physical delivery, the Company intends to receive physical delivery of the commodity, and the Company deems the counterparty credit worthy. The Company continually assesses contracts designated under the NPNS exemption and will discontinue treatment of these contracts under this exception if the criteria are no longer met. |
| 2. | Derivatives that qualify for hedge accounting are recorded at FV on the balance sheet. Derivatives qualify for hedge accounting if they meet stringent documentation requirements and can be proven to effectively hedge the identified cash flow risk both at the inception and over the term of the derivative. Specifically, for cash flow hedges, the change in the FV of derivatives is deferred to AOCI and recognized in income in the same period the related hedged item is realized. |
| Where documentation or effectiveness requirements are not met, the derivatives are recognized at FV with any changes in FV recognized in net income in the reporting period, unless deferred as a result of regulatory accounting. |
| 3. | Derivatives entered into by NSPI, NMGC and GBPC that are documented as economic hedges, and for which the NPNS exception has not been taken, are subject to regulatory accounting treatment. These derivatives are recorded at FV on the balance sheet as derivative assets or liabilities. The change in FV of the derivatives is deferred to a regulatory asset or liability. The gain or loss is recognized in the hedged item when the hedged item is settled. Management believes that any gains or losses resulting from settlement of these derivatives related to fuel for generation and purchased power will be refunded to or collected from customers in future rates. Based on current direction from the FPSC, TEC and PGS have no derivatives related to hedging. |
| 4. | Derivatives that do not meet any of the above criteria are designated as held-for-trading (“HFT”) derivatives and are recorded on the balance sheet at FV, with changes normally recorded in net income of the period, unless deferred as a result of regulatory accounting. The Company has not elected to designate any derivatives to be included in the HFT category where another accounting treatment would apply. |

Credit Risk
The Company is exposed to credit risk with respect to amounts receivable from customers, energy marketing collateral deposits, and derivative assets. Credit risk is the potential loss from a counterparty’s non-performance under an agreement. The Company manages credit risk with policies and procedures for counterparty analysis, exposure measurement, and exposure monitoring and mitigation. Credit assessments are conducted on all new customers and counterparties, and deposits or collateral are requested on any high-risk accounts.
21
The Company assesses the potential for credit losses on a regular basis and, where appropriate, maintains provisions. With respect to counterparties, the Company has implemented procedures to monitor the creditworthiness and credit exposure of counterparties and to consider default probability in valuing the counterparty positions. The Company monitors counterparties’ credit standing, including those that are experiencing financial problems, have significant swings in default probability rates, have credit rating changes by external rating agencies, or have changes in ownership. Net liability positions are adjusted based on the Company’s current default probability. Net asset positions are adjusted based on the counterparty’s current default probability. The Company assesses credit risk internally for counterparties that are not rated.
It is possible that volatility in commodity prices could cause the Company to have material credit risk exposures with one or more counterparties. If such counterparties fail to perform their obligations under one or more agreements, the Company could suffer a material financial loss. The Company transacts with counterparties as part of its risk management strategy for managing commodity price, FX and interest rate risk. Counterparties that exceed established credit limits can provide a cash deposit or letter of credit to the Company for the value in excess of the credit limit where contractually required. The Company also obtains cash deposits from electric customers. The Company uses the cash as payment for the amount receivable or returns the deposit/collateral to the customer/counterparty where it is no longer required by the Company.
The Company enters into commodity master arrangements with its counterparties to manage certain risks, including credit risk to these counterparties. The Company generally enters into International Swaps and Derivatives Association agreements, North American Energy Standards Board agreements and/or Edison Electric Institute agreements. The Company believes entering into such agreements offers protection by creating contractual rights relating to creditworthiness, collateral, non-performance and default.
As at March 31, 2026, the Company had $244 million (December 31, 2025 – $207 million) in financial assets considered to be past due, which had been outstanding for an average 76 days. The FV of these financial assets was $228 million (December 31, 2025 – $192 million), the difference of which is included in the allowance for credit losses. These assets primarily relate to accounts receivable from electric and gas revenue.
Cash Collateral
The Company’s cash collateral positions consisted of the following:
| As at millions of dollars |
March 31 2026 |
December 31 2025 |
||||||
| Cash collateral provided to others |
$ | 254 | $ | 193 | ||||
| Cash collateral received from others |
$ | 4 | $ | 5 | ||||
Collateral is posted in the normal course of business based on the Company’s creditworthiness, including its senior unsecured credit rating as determined by certain major credit rating agencies. Certain derivatives contain financial assurance provisions that require collateral to be posted if a material adverse credit-related event occurs. If a material adverse event resulted in the senior unsecured debt falling below investment grade, the counterparties to such derivatives could request ongoing full collateralization.
As at March 31, 2026, the total FV of derivatives in a liability position was $621 million (December 31, 2025 – $649 million). If the credit ratings of the Company were reduced below investment grade, the full value of the net liability position could be required to be posted as collateral for these derivatives.
22
13. FV MEASUREMENTS
The Company is required to determine the FV of all derivatives except those which qualify for the NPNS exemption (see note 12) and uses a market approach to do so. The three levels of the FV hierarchy are defined as follows:
Level 1 – Where possible, the Company bases the fair valuation of its financial assets and liabilities on quoted prices in active markets (“quoted prices”) for identical assets and liabilities.
Level 2 – Where quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities are not available, the valuation of certain contracts must be based on quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities with an adjustment related to location differences. Also, certain derivatives are valued using quotes from over-the-counter clearing houses.
Level 3 – Where the information required for a Level 1 or Level 2 valuation is not available, derivatives must be valued using unobservable or internally developed inputs. The primary reasons for a Level 3 classification are as follows:
| ● | While valuations were based on quoted prices, significant assumptions were necessary to reflect seasonal or monthly shaping and locational basis differentials. |
| ● | The term of certain transactions extends beyond the period when quoted prices are available, and accordingly, assumptions were made to extrapolate prices from the last quoted period through the end of the transaction term. |
| ● | The valuations of certain transactions were based on internal models, although quoted prices were utilized in the valuations. |
Derivative assets and liabilities are classified in their entirety, based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the FV measurement.

Significant unobservable inputs used in the FV measurement of Emera’s natural gas and power derivatives include third-party sourced pricing for instruments based on illiquid markets. Significant increases (decreases) in any of these inputs in isolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) FV measurement. Other unobservable inputs used include internally developed correlation factors and basis differentials; own credit risk; and discount rates. Internally developed correlations and basis differentials are reviewed on a quarterly basis based on statistical analysis of the spot markets in the various illiquid term markets. Discount rates may include a risk premium for those long-term forward contracts with illiquid future price points to incorporate the inherent uncertainty of these points. Any risk premiums for long-term contracts are evaluated by observing similar industry practices and in discussion with industry peers.
25
The Company uses a modelled pricing valuation technique for determining the FV of Level 3 derivative instruments. The following table outlines quantitative information about the significant unobservable inputs used in the FV measurements categorized within Level 3 of the FV hierarchy:

The Company has designated $1.2 billion USD denominated Hybrid Notes as a hedge of the foreign currency exposure of its net investment in USD denominated operations. An after-tax foreign currency loss of $28 million was recorded in AOCI for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (2025 – $2 million gain after-tax).
14. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
In the ordinary course of business, Emera provides energy and other services and enters into transactions with its subsidiaries, associates and other related companies on terms similar to those offered to non-related parties. Intercompany balances and intercompany transactions have been eliminated on consolidation, except for the net profit on certain transactions between non-regulated and regulated entities, in accordance with accounting standards for rate-regulated entities. All material amounts are under normal interest and credit terms.
Significant transactions between Emera and its associated companies are as follows:
| ● | Transactions between NSPI and NSPML related to the Maritime Link assessment are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. NSPI’s expense is reported in “Regulated fuel for generation and purchased power”, totalling $40 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (2025 – $49 million). NSPML is accounted for as an equity investment and therefore, the corresponding earnings related to this revenue are reflected in “Income from equity investments”. |
| ● | Natural gas transportation capacity purchases from M&NP are reported in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income. Purchases from M&NP reported net in “Operating revenues, non-regulated”, totalled $7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2026 (2025 – $8 million). |
As at March 31, 2026, Emera and its associated companies had $66 million due to related parties (December 31, 2025 – $32 million) recorded in “Other Current Liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NSPI has a contractual obligation to pay NSPML for use of the Maritime Link over approximately 38 years from its January 15, 2018 in-service date. On December 23, 2025, NSPML received an interim order from the NSEB to collect up to $199 million from NSPI for recovery of costs associated with the Maritime Link in 2026, subject to a monthly holdback of up to $4 million. There was no holdback recorded in Q1 2026. The timing and amounts payable to NSPML for the remainder of the 38-year commitment period are subject to NSEB approval.
Emera has committed to obtain certain transmission rights in New Brunswick during summer periods (April through October, inclusive) for Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro’s (“NLH”) use, if requested, effective August 15, 2021 and continuing for 50 years. As transmission rights are contracted, the obligations are included within “Other” in the above table.
B. Legal Proceedings
Superfund and Former Manufactured Gas Plant Sites
Previously, TEC had been a potentially responsible party (“PRP”) for certain superfund sites through its Tampa Electric and former PGS divisions, as well as for certain former manufactured gas plant sites through its PGS division. As a result of the separation of the PGS division into a separate legal entity, Peoples Gas System, Inc. is also now a PRP for those sites (in addition to third party PRPs for certain sites). While the aggregate joint and several liability associated with these sites has not changed as a result of the PGS legal separation, the sites continue to present the potential for significant response costs. As at March 31, 2026, the aggregate financial liability of the Florida utilities is estimated to be $15 million ($11 million USD), primarily at PGS. This estimate assumes that other involved PRPs are credit-worthy entities. This amount has been accrued and is primarily reflected in the long-term liability section under “Other long-term liabilities” on the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The environmental remediation costs associated with these sites are expected to be paid over many years.
The estimated amounts represent only the portion of cleanup costs attributable to the Florida utilities. The estimates to perform the work are based on the Florida utilities’ experience with similar work, adjusted for site-specific conditions and agreements with the respective governmental agencies. The estimates are made in current dollars, are not discounted and do not assume any insurance recoveries.
30
In instances where other PRPs are involved, most of those PRPs are believed to be currently credit-worthy and are likely to continue to be credit-worthy for the duration of remediation work. However, in those instances that they are not, the Florida utilities could be liable for more than their actual percentage of remediation costs. Other factors that could impact these estimates include additional testing and investigation which could expand the scope of cleanup activities, additional liability that might arise from cleanup activities themselves or changes in laws or regulations that could require additional remediation. Under current regulations, these costs are recoverable through customer rates established in base rate proceedings.
Other Legal Proceedings
Emera and its subsidiaries may, from time to time, be involved in other legal proceedings, claims and litigation that arise in the ordinary course of business which the Company believes would not reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the financial condition of the Company.
C. Principal Financial Risks and Uncertainties
For information on principal financial risks which could materially affect the Company in the normal course of business, refer to note 28 in Emera’s 2025 annual audited consolidated financial statements. Risks associated with derivative instruments and FV measurements are discussed in note 12 and note 13. There have been no material changes to the principal financial risks as of March 31, 2026.
D. Guarantees and Letters of Credit
Emera’s guarantees and letters of credit are consistent with those disclosed in the Company’s 2025 audited annual consolidated financial statements, with material updates as noted below:
The Company has standby letters of credit and surety bonds in the amount of $224 million USD (December 31, 2025 – $271 million USD) to third parties that have extended credit to Emera and its subsidiaries. These letters of credit and surety bonds typically have a one-year term and are renewed annually, as required.
20. CUMULATIVE PREFERRED STOCK
For details regarding cumulative preferred stock, refer to note 29 in Emera’s 2025 annual audited consolidated financial statements, and below for 2026 preferred stock activity.
On April 9, 2026, Emera announced that it would not redeem the currently outstanding Cumulative Minimum Rate Reset First Preferred Shares, Series J (“Series J Shares”) on May 15, 2026 (the “Conversion Date”). There are currently 8.0 million Series J Shares outstanding.
On April 15, 2026, Emera announced a dividend rate of 6.345 per cent per annum on the Series J Shares during the five-year period commencing on May 15, 2026 and ending on (and inclusive of) May 14, 2031. Emera also announced a dividend rate of 5.598 per cent on the Cumulative Floating Rate First Series K Shares (“Series K Shares”) for the three-month period commencing on May 15, 2026 and ending on (inclusive of) August 14, 2026.
During the conversion period between April 15, 2026 and April 30, 2026, the holders of Series J Shares had the right, at their option, to convert all or any of their Series J Shares, on a one-for-one basis, into Series K Shares. On May 5, 2026, Emera announced that after having taken into account all conversion notices received from holders of its outstanding Series J Shares by the April 30, 2026 deadline for conversion notices, less than the 1,000,000 Series J Shares required to give effect to conversions into Series K Shares were tendered for conversion. As a result, in accordance with certain rights, privileges, restrictions and conditions attaching to the Series J Shares, none of Emera’s outstanding Series J Shares will be converted into Series K Shares on May 15, 2026. On the Conversion Date there will continue to be 8.0 million Series J Shares outstanding.

22. VARIABLE INTEREST ENTITIES
Emera holds a variable interest in NSPML, a VIE for which it was determined that Emera is not the primary beneficiary since it does not have controlling financial interest of NSPML. When the critical milestones were achieved, NLH was deemed the primary beneficiary of the asset for financial reporting purposes as it has authority over the majority of the direct activities expected to most significantly impact the economic performance of the Maritime Link. Thus, Emera began recording the Maritime Link as an equity investment.
BLPC established a SIF, primarily for the purpose of building a fund to cover risk against damage and consequential loss to certain generating, transmission and distribution systems. ECI holds a variable interest in the SIF for which it was determined that ECI was the primary beneficiary and, accordingly, the SIF must be consolidated by ECI. In its determination that ECI controls the SIF, management considered that, in substance, activities of the SIF are being conducted on behalf of ECI’s subsidiary BLPC and BLPC, alone, obtains the benefits from the SIF’s operations. Additionally, because ECI, through BLPC, has rights to all the benefits of the SIF, it is also exposed to the risks related to the activities of the SIF. Any withdrawal of SIF fund assets by the Company would be subject to existing regulations. Emera’s consolidated VIE in the SIF is recorded as an “Other long-term assets”, “Restricted cash” and “Regulatory liabilities” on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Amounts included in restricted cash represent the cash portion of funds required to be set aside for the BLPC SIF.
The Company has identified certain long-term purchase power agreements that meet the definition of variable interests as the Company has to purchase all or a majority of the electricity generation at a fixed price. However, it was determined that the Company was not the primary beneficiary since it lacked the power to direct the activities of the entity, including the ability to operate the generating facilities and make management decisions.
