Remaining Performance Obligation
Private Equity
In our construction services operation, backlog is defined as revenue yet to be delivered (i.e. remaining performance obligations) on construction projects that have been secured via an executed contract, work order or letter of intent. As at December 31, 2021, our backlog of construction projects was approximately $7.5 billion (2020 – $5.6 billion).
In our Brazilian water and wastewater services operation, our long-term, inflation-adjusted concession service contracts with various municipalities have an average remaining contract duration of 24 years as at December 31, 2021 (2020 – 24 years).
Others
In our Asset Management, Infrastructure and Renewable Power and Transition businesses, revenue is generally recognized as invoiced for contracts recognized over a period of time as the amounts invoiced are commensurate with the value provided to the customers.
c)    Lease Income
Our leases in which the company is a lessor are primarily operating in nature. Total lease income from our assets leased out on operating leases totaled $6.7 billion (2020 $6.7 billion) including $147 million (2020 $75 million) of income related to variable lease income that is not dependent on an index or rate.
