29 Obligations under leasing arrangements

Leasing contracts that mainly transfer the economic risk to Repower are recognised as finance leasing arrangements. All other leasing contracts are classified as operating leasing arrangements. Assets which are recognised in connection with a finance lease are depreciated in accordance with the guidelines explained under property, plant and equipment. If the depreciation period of the asset is greater than the length of the lease agreement, the asset is depreciated over the term of the leasing contract.

The total of the future minimum leasing payments for the periods is:
