13. Equity Method Investments

We have noncontrolling unconsolidated equity investments in entities that own minority interests in renewable energy projects. During the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we recognized income of $6.1 million and a loss of $0.1 million, respectively, from our equity method investments. We did not have any income or loss from our equity method investments in 2014. We describe our accounting for the noncontrolling equity investments in Note 2.
