Distributions from equity accounted investments  were s $1,981, or 99%, higher in 2013 due to the receipt of $878 from the ReD businesses and $1,103 of higher dividends provided by Värmevärden. 

Interest paid  increased by $132, reflecting $938 of higher interest for the power segment, which was offset by lower interest paid at corporate attributable to refinancing activity in 2012. 

Interest paid by Bristol Water and the Amherst wind facility ("Amherst") is excluded from Capstone’s definition of AFFO and is the primary difference between interest expense included in consolidated net income (loss) and interest paid in AFFO. The remaining difference between interest expense and interest paid was attributable to the amortization of financing costs and timing differences between accrual and payment basis. 

Scheduled debt repayments  increased by s $2,305, or 18.3%, which included $659 of payments for the ReD facilities. The remainder of the variance was primarily due to higher payments in the power segment mostly related to $1,000 of additional payments under the CPC-Cardinal credit facility. Maintenance capital expenditures  decreased by s $1,011, or 18.7%, primarily due to fewer scheduled outages at Cardinal. A hot gas path inspection, which occurs every three years, was completed in 2012. 

## Results by Segment 

Capstone’s results are segmented into power in Canada and utilities in Europe. All remaining results relate to corporate activities. The power segment includes gas cogeneration, hydro, wind, biomass and solar power, as well as power development activities. The utilities segments include Capstone's 50% interest in Bristol Water, a regulated water utility in the United Kingdom, and a 33.3% interest in Värmevärden, a district heating business in Sweden. 

The financial results of Capstone's businesses with non-controlling interest, such as Bristol Water, are consolidated with Capstone’s other businesses before deducting the portion of Adjusted EBITDA attributable to non-controlling interests. Capstone’s non-controlling interest in Värmevärden and other equity accounted investments provide interest income, dividends and management service fees, when applicable.
