Accounting policies
Alpiq generally satisfies its performance obligations as principal. However, for performance obligations in connection with the transmission of energy, Alpiq acts as agent in all represented markets. Where Alpiq acts as agent, revenue is recognised net of the corresponding costs.
Revenue from energy and grid services
Revenue from energy supply from contracts with customers (“own use exception” pursuant to IFRS 9) is generally recognised over the period agreed for completion of performance. However, for energy supplies, Alpiq has a right to consideration that directly corresponds to the value to the customer of the energy already supplied. For such cases, Alpiq exercises the practical expedient and recognises revenue in the amount that can be billed. In some contracts, Alpiq sells the proportionate right in energy production of a power plant. Revenue from these contracts is recognised over the period that corresponds to the timing of the costs.
Revenue from stand-ready obligations to deliver ancillary services is recognised on a straight-line basis over the period in which Alpiq is available to render these services. Revenue for called ancillary services is recognised when it is delivered.
Contractual penalties – for example, for deviations between the delivered and contractually agreed-upon quantity of energy – represent variable components in energy sales. Only when they become highly probable they are included in the estimation of the transaction price. This is normally the case towards the end of the delivery period. Estimating the point in time when such variable price components are recognised requires significant judgement.
Revenue from other services
Revenue from other services from contracts with customers is recognised, on the one hand, over the time period over which the performance obligation is satisfied on a straight-line basis. On the other hand, Alpiq applies the following practical expedient: if Alpiq has a right to consideration that directly corresponds to the value to the customer, then revenue is recognised in the amount that can be billed.
Practical expedients applied regarding revenue from contracts with customers
Alpiq exercises the practical expedient provided in IFRS 15 and, wherever possible, opts not to disclose the remaining performance obligations at the end of the reporting period. After applying this practical expedient, the remaining performance obligations disclosed by Alpiq at the end of the reporting period are not significant.
Alpiq applies the practical expedient and does not capitalise incremental costs of obtaining a customer contract, as far as these costs would be amortised within one year. Due to the application of this practical expedient, Alpiq did not disclose any significant costs of this type.
Income from energy and financial derivatives
Energy and financial derivatives are measured at fair value through profit or loss. Changes in value in energy derivatives are disclosed in net revenue in the period in which they occur. Revenue from trading in energy and financial derivatives comprises realised net gains and losses from settled contracts and unrealised changes in the fair value of unsettled contracts. For more information on measurement, please refer to note 3.2.
