Decommissioning obligations relate to expected future costs<br />
for decommissioning of production facilities, including primarily<br />
decommissioning of power stations and wind farms, and<br />
restoration of gas and oil drilling sites. The equivalent value<br />
of these obligations is recognised in production assets (property,<br />
plant and equipment) and depreciated together with the<br />
production assets. The increase in the provision for decommissioning<br />
obligations in <strong>2011</strong> was primarily due to new wind<br />
farms and gas and oil drilling sites.<br />
Provisions, others, include guarantee obligations; expected<br />
repayments to electricity consumers, etc., relating to litigation;<br />
contractual disputes; and provisions for onerous contracts, etc.<br />
Provisions are determined as expected future payments with<br />
addition of a risk premium and discounted to present value.<br />
The discount rate applied refl ects the general risk-free interest<br />
rate level in the given country. The range is 1.75%-5.75%<br />
(2010: 2.75%-5.75%).<br />
