13. Equity Method Investments

We have non-controlling unconsolidated equity investments in renewable energy projects. During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, and 2015 we recognized income of $22.3 million, $6.1 million, and $(0.1) million respectively, from our equity method investments. We describe our accounting for the non-controlling equity investments in Note 2.

 

The following is a summary of the consolidated financial position and results of operations of our investments accounted for using the equity method. As discussed in Note 2, we have elected to recognize earnings from these investments one quarter in arrears to allow for the receipt of financial information. We have included below the latest information that is available.
