Note 11. - Related parties

During the normal course of business, the Company has historically conducted operations with related parties consisting mainly of Abengoa´s subsidiaries and non-controlling interests. The transactions were completed at market rates.

Further to the sale of its remaining 16.47% stake in the Company to Algonquin on November 27, 2018, Abengoa ceased to fulfill the conditions to be a related party as per IAS 24 - Related Parties Disclosures. Algonquin on its side is a related party since it completed the acquisition of a 25% stake in the Company in March 2018.

Details of balances with related parties as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which therefore do not include balances with Abengoa, are as follows:

Credit receivables as of June 30, 2019 include $18.0 million of dividends to be collected from Amherst Island Partnership. From this amount, $17.9 million is in turn payable to Algonquin, and is recorded as current payables. Algonquin made a majority of the investment and owns a majority of the economic rights in Amherst Island (Note 5).

The remaining amounts recorded as Credit receivables, Trade and other payables and non-current Credit payables relate to debts with non-controlling interests’ partners in Kaxu, Solaben 2&3 and Solacor 1&2.
