The amount of cash that NEP OpCo can distribute to its limited partners, including NEP, each quarter principally depends upon the amount of cash it generates from its operations, which will fluctuate from quarter to quarter based on, among other things: • the amount of power generated from its projects and the amount of natural gas transported in its pipelines, and the prices received therefor; • its operating costs; • payment of interest and principal amortization, which depends on the amount of its indebtedness and the interest payable thereon; • the ability of NEP OpCo’s subsidiaries to distribute cash under their respective financing agreements; • the completion of any ongoing construction activities on time and on budget; • its capital expenditures; and • if NEP OpCo acquires a project prior to its COD, timely completion of future construction projects.
