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 />
