Working capital
As of December 2014, the working capital was positive and amounted to USD 18.7 MM, which represented a 150% increase compared to 2013 (USD 7.5 MM). This is explained by the improvement made to the collection process in 2014, mainly to distribution companies.
As a consequence, the current asset increased by 30.2%, from USD 47.2 M in December 2013 to USD 61.4 M at year ended December 31, 2014.
Additionally, the current liabilities increased 7.5% from USD 39.7 M in December 2013 to USD 42.7 M, mainly due to the increase of the short-term debt, and in 2013 the loan interests were not considered as short-term debts.
Investment in subsidiaries

At year ended December 31, 2014, the properties, plant and equipment account amounted to USD 189.5 MM, which is equivalent to USD 0.2 MM more than recorded in the same period in 2013. The slight increase is explained by the priority given by Statkraft Peru to the Cheves project.
Non-current liabilities
In the reported period, non-current liabilities decreased 10.1%, from USD 197.1 MM in 2013 to USD 177.2 MM, mainly due to the repayment of the long-term syndicated loan (USD 15.4 MM) and the mid-term loan (USD 3.3 MM).
