CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING INFORMATION

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q of Clearway Energy LLC, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, or the Company, includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act. The words “believes,” “projects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “intends,” “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the Company’s actual results, performance and achievements, or industry results, to be materially different from any future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. These factors, risks and uncertainties include the factors described under Item 1A — Risk Factors in Part I of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, as well as the following:

•The Company’s ability to operate its businesses efficiently, manage maintenance capital expenditures and costs effectively, and generate earnings and cash flows from its asset-based businesses in relation to its debt and other obligations;

•The willingness and ability of counterparties to the Company’s offtake agreements to fulfill their obligations under such agreements;

•Cyber terrorism and inadequate cybersecurity, or the occurrence of a catastrophic loss and the possibility that the Company may not have adequate insurance to cover losses resulting from such hazards or the inability of the Company’s insurers to provide coverage.

Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they were made, and the Company undertakes no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The foregoing review of factors that could cause the Company’s actual results to differ materially from those contemplated in any forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should not be construed as exhaustive.

Note 3 — Acquisitions

Tuolumne Wind Acquisition — On April 29, 2025, the Company acquired Tuolumne, a 137 MW wind facility located in Klickitat County, Washington, from an investment-grade regulated entity for approximately $207 million, subject to working capital adjustments. Tuolumne reached commercial operations in 2009. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a 15-year PPA with an investment-grade regulated entity that commenced in April 2025. Also in connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a financing agreement, which included the issuance of a $163 million term loan, as well as $22 million in letters of credit in support of debt service and facility obligations, supported by the Company’s interests in the Tuolumne wind facility. The Company utilized a portion of the proceeds from the term loan to pay $4 million in related financing costs. The term loan bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus 1.625% per annum and matures on April 28, 2030. The acquisition was funded with the borrowings under the new non-recourse facility-level debt, as well as existing sources of liquidity. The Company estimates that its total capital investment in Tuolumne will be $61 million, which includes estimated transaction expenses.

Luna Valley Drop Down — On April 29, 2025, the Company, through its indirect subsidiary, LV-Daggett Parent Holdco LLC, acquired Luna Valley Class B Member LLC, or Luna Valley Class B, the indirect owner of Luna Valley, a 200 MW solar facility that is currently under construction in Fresno County, California, from Clearway Renew for initial cash consideration of $18 million. At substantial completion, which is expected to occur in the second half of 2025, the Company estimates it will pay an additional $72 million to Clearway Renew. Luna Valley Class B consolidates as primary beneficiary, Luna Valley TE Holdco LLC, a tax equity fund that owns the Luna Valley solar facility. Also on April 29, 2025, a tax equity investor contributed $29 million to acquire the Class A membership interests in Luna Valley TE Holdco LLC. Luna Valley has PPAs with investment-grade counterparties that have a 17-year weighted average contract duration that commence when the underlying operating assets reach commercial operations, which is expected to occur in the second half of 2025. The acquisition was funded with existing sources of liquidity. The Company estimates that its total capital investment in Luna Valley Class B will be $90 million, excluding the impact of any closing adjustments noted in the purchase agreement.

Daggett 1 Drop Down — On April 29, 2025, the Company, through its indirect subsidiary, LV-Daggett Parent Holdco LLC, acquired Daggett 1 Class B Member LLC, or Daggett 1 Class B, the indirect owner of Daggett 1, a 114 MW BESS facility that is currently under construction in San Bernardino County, California, from Clearway Renew for initial cash consideration of $11 million. At substantial completion, which is expected to occur in the second half of 2025, the Company estimates it will pay an additional $42 million to Clearway Renew. Daggett 1 Class B consolidates as primary beneficiary, Daggett 1 TE Holdco LLC, a tax equity fund that owns the Daggett 1 BESS facility. Also on April 29, 2025, a tax equity investor contributed $27 million to acquire the Class A membership interests in Daggett 1 TE Holdco LLC. Daggett 1 has a PPA for capacity with an investment-grade counterparty for a contract duration of 15 years that commences when the facility reaches commercial operations, which is expected to occur in the second half of 2025. The acquisition was funded with existing sources of liquidity. The Company estimates that its total capital investment in Daggett 1 Class B will be $53 million, excluding the impact of any closing adjustments noted in the purchase agreement.

Rosamond South I Drop Down — On March 20, 2025, the Company, through its indirect subsidiary, Rosamond South Investment LLC, acquired the Class A membership interests in Rosie South TargetCo LLC, or Rosie South TargetCo, a partnership and the indirect owner of Rosamond South I, a 140 MW solar facility that is paired with a 117 MW BESS facility, which are both currently under construction in Rosamond, California, from Clearway Renew for initial cash consideration of $4 million. Simultaneously, a third-party cash equity investor acquired the Class B membership interests in Rosie South TargetCo from Clearway Renew for initial cash consideration of $10 million. At substantial completion, which is expected to occur in the second half of 2025, the Company estimates it will pay an additional $17 million to Clearway Renew and the third-party cash equity investor will contribute an additional $41 million. Rosie South TargetCo consolidates as primary beneficiary, Rosie South TE Holdco LLC, a tax equity fund that owns the Rosamond South I solar and BESS facility, as further described in Note 4, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities. Rosamond South I has PPAs with investment-grade counterparties that have a 15-year weighted average contract duration that commence when the underlying operating assets reach commercial operations, which is expected to occur in the second half of 2025. The Rosamond South I operations are reflected in the Company’s Renewables & Storage segment and the acquisition was funded with existing sources of liquidity. The acquisition was determined to be an asset acquisition and the Company consolidates Rosamond South I on a prospective basis in its financial statements. The assets and liabilities transferred to the Company relate to interests under common control and were recorded at historical cost in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations - Related Issues. The sum of the initial cash consideration of $4 million and the historical cost of the Company’s net liabilities assumed of $3 million was recorded as an adjustment to contributed capital. In addition, the Company reflected the entire $4 million of the Company’s initial purchase price, which was contributed back to the Company by CEG to pay down the acquired long-term debt, in the line item distributions to CEG, net of contributions in the consolidated statements of members’ equity. The Company estimates that its total capital investment in Rosie South TargetCo will be $21 million, excluding the impact of any closing adjustments noted in the purchase agreement.

Note 4 — Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities

Entities that are not Consolidated

The Company has interests in entities that are considered VIEs under ASC 810, but for which it is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Company accounts for its interests in these entities and entities in which it has a significant investment under the equity method of accounting, as further described under Item 15 — Note 5, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K.

The following table reflects the Company’s equity investments in unconsolidated affiliates as of March 31, 2025:


Name	Economic Interest	Investment Balance (a)
		(In millions)
Avenal	50%	$	8
Desert Sunlight	25%	213
Elkhorn Ridge	66.7%	5
GenConn (b)	50%	73

San Juan Mesa	75%	1
		$	300

(a) The Company’s maximum exposure to loss is limited to its investment balances.

Entities that are Consolidated

As further described under Item 15 — Note 5, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K, the Company has a controlling financial interest in certain entities which have been identified as VIEs under ASC 810, Consolidations, or ASC 810. These arrangements are primarily related to tax equity arrangements entered into with third parties in order to monetize certain tax credits associated with wind, solar and BESS facilities. The Company also has a controlling financial interest in certain partnership arrangements with third-party investors, which also have been identified as VIEs. Under the Company’s arrangements that have been identified as VIEs, the third-party investors are allocated earnings, tax attributes and distributable cash in accordance with the respective limited liability company agreements. Many of these arrangements also provide a mechanism to facilitate achievement of the investor’s specified return by providing incremental cash distributions to the investor at a specified date if the specified return has not yet been achieved.

The following is a summary of significant activity during the three months ended March 31, 2025 related to the Company’s consolidated VIEs:

Rosie South TargetCo — As described in Note 3, Acquisitions, on March 20, 2025, Rosamond South Investment LLC, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, acquired the Class A membership interests in Rosie South TargetCo, which is a partnership. The Company consolidates Rosie South TargetCo as a VIE, as the Company is the primary beneficiary. Through its membership interests in Rosie South TargetCo, the Company receives 50% of distributable cash. The Company recorded the third-party cash equity investor’s noncontrolling interest in Rosie South TargetCo at the historical carrying amount, with the offset to contributed capital. Rosie South TargetCo consolidates as primary beneficiary, and through its ownership of the Class B membership interests, Rosie South TE Holdco LLC, a tax equity fund that owns the Rosamond South I solar and BESS facility. The Class A membership interests in Rosie South TE Holdco LLC are held by a tax equity investor and are reflected as noncontrolling interest on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.

The Company has updated the following disclosure of assets and liabilities for its consolidated VIEs to present combined totals, and has revised the amounts as of December 31, 2024 to reflect accurate comparative totals for the same relevant entities:


(In millions)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Other current and non-current assets	$	816	$	755
Property, plant and equipment	6,450		5,985
Total assets	$	7,266	$	6,740
Total liabilities	$	2,436	$	1,858

Note 5 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Accounting under ASC 820

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

•Level 1—quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

•Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

•Level 3—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company determines the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement in its entirety falls, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable — trade, accounts payable — trade, accounts payable — affiliates and accrued expenses and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The carrying amount and estimated fair value of the Company’s recorded financial instrument not carried at fair market value or that does not approximate fair value is as follows:


	As of March 31, 2025				As of December 31, 2024
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
	(In millions)




Long-term debt, including current portion (a)	$	7,677	$	7,255	$	7,237	$	6,715

(a) Excludes net debt issuance costs, which are recorded as a reduction to long-term debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.

The fair value of the Company’s publicly-traded long-term debt is based on quoted market prices and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of debt securities, non-publicly traded long-term debt and certain notes receivable of the Company are based on expected future cash flows discounted at market interest rates, or current interest rates for similar instruments with equivalent credit quality and are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the level within the fair value hierarchy for long-term debt, including current portion:


	As of March 31, 2025				As of December 31, 2024
	Level 2		Level 3		Level 2		Level 3
	(In millions)
Long-term debt, including current portion	$	1,943	$	5,312	$	1,922	$	4,793

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company records its derivative assets and liabilities at fair market value on its consolidated balance sheets. The following table presents assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy:

Derivative and Financial Instruments Fair Value Measurements

The Company's contracts are non-exchange-traded and valued using prices provided by external sources. The Company uses quoted observable forward prices to value its energy-related commodity contracts, which includes long-term power commodity contracts and heat rate call option contracts. To the extent that observable forward prices are not available, the quoted prices reflect the average of the forward prices from the prior year, adjusted for inflation. As of March 31, 2025, contracts valued with prices provided by models and other valuation techniques make up 7% of derivative assets, 99% of derivative liabilities and 100% of other financial instruments.

The Company’s significant positions classified as Level 3 relate to physical and financial energy-related contracts, including long-term power commodity contracts and heat rate call option contracts executed in illiquid markets. The significant unobservable inputs used in developing fair value include illiquid power tenors and location pricing, which is derived by extrapolating pricing as a basis to liquid locations. The tenor pricing and basis spread are based on observable market data when available or derived from historic prices and forward market prices from similar observable markets when not available.

The following table quantifies the significant unobservable inputs used in developing the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 positions:


	March 31, 2025
	Fair Value						Input/Range
	Assets		Liabilities		Valuation Technique	Significant Unobservable Input	Low		High		Weighted Average
	(In millions)
Long-term Power Commodity Contracts	$	—	$	378	Discounted Cash Flow	Forward Market Price ($ per MWh)	$	21.19	$	102.71	$	47.51

The fair value of each contract is discounted using a risk-free interest rate. In addition, a credit reserve is applied to reflect credit risk, which is, for interest rate swaps, calculated based on credit default swaps using the bilateral method. For commodities, to the extent that the Net Exposure under a specific master agreement is an asset, the Company uses the counterparty’s default swap rate. If the Net Exposure under a specific master agreement is a liability, the Company uses a proxy of its own default swap rate. For interest rate swaps and commodities, the credit reserve is added to the discounted fair value to reflect the exit price that a market participant would be willing to receive to assume the liabilities or that a market participant would be willing to pay for the assets. As of March 31, 2025, the non-performance reserve was a $7 million gain recorded primarily to total operating revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. It is possible that future market prices could vary from those used in recording assets and liabilities and such variations could be material.

Concentration of Credit Risk

In addition to the credit risk discussion as disclosed under Item 15 — Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K, the following item is a discussion of the concentration of credit risk for the Company’s financial instruments. Credit risk relates to the risk of loss resulting from non-performance or non-payment by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. The Company monitors and manages credit risk through credit policies that include: (i) an established credit approval process; (ii) monitoring of counterparties’ credit limits on an as needed basis; (iii) as applicable, the use of credit mitigation measures such as margin, collateral, prepayment arrangements, or volumetric limits; (iv) the use of payment netting agreements; and (v) the use of master netting agreements that allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures of various contracts associated with a single counterparty. Risks surrounding counterparty performance and credit could ultimately impact the amount and timing of expected cash flows. The Company seeks to mitigate counterparty risk by having a diversified portfolio of counterparties.

Counterparty credit exposure includes credit risk exposure under certain long-term agreements, including solar and other PPAs. As external sources or observable market quotes are not available to estimate such exposure, the Company estimates the exposure related to these contracts based on various techniques including, but not limited to, internal models based on a fundamental analysis of the market and extrapolation of observable market data with similar characteristics. A significant portion of these energy-related commodity contracts are with utilities with strong credit quality and public utility commission or other regulatory support. However, such regulated utility counterparties can be impacted by changes in government regulations or adverse financial conditions, which the Company is unable to predict. Certain subsidiaries of the Company sell the output of their facilities to PG&E, a significant counterparty of the Company, under long-term PPAs, and PG&E’s credit rating is below investment-grade.

Note 6 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

This footnote should be read in conjunction with the complete description under Item 15 — Note 7, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge the variability of expected future cash interest payments. As of March 31, 2025, the Company had interest rate derivative instruments on non-recourse debt extending through 2033, a portion of which were designated as cash flow hedges. Under the interest rate swap agreements, the Company pays a fixed rate and the counterparties to the agreements pay a variable interest rate.

Energy-Related Commodity Contracts

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had energy-related derivative instruments extending through 2033. At March 31, 2025, these contracts were not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges.

Facility-level Debt

Buckthorn Solar

On April 9, 2025, the Company, through its indirect subsidiary, Buckthorn Solar Portfolio LLC, refinanced its existing credit agreement, which was scheduled to mature in May 2025, resulting in the issuance of a $104 million term loan facility, as well as $22 million in letters of credit in support of debt service and facility obligations. The term loan bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus 1.625% per annum and matures on April 9, 2031. The obligations under the new financing arrangement are supported by the Company’s interests in the Buckthorn Solar facility. The Company utilized the proceeds from the term loan and existing sources of liquidity to pay off the existing debt in the amount of $112 million.

Rosamond South I

On March 20, 2025, as part of the acquisition of Rosamond South I, as further described in Note 3, Acquisitions, the Company assumed the facility’s financing agreement, which included a $179 million construction loan that converts to a term loan when the facility reaches substantial completion, which is expected to occur in the second half of 2025, a $6 million cash equity bridge loan and a $284 million tax equity bridge loan, offset by $1 million in unamortized debt issuance costs. The cash equity bridge loan was repaid at acquisition date, along with $3 million in associated fees, utilizing $2 million from the third-party cash equity investor, as well as all of the proceeds from the Company, which were contributed back to the Company by CEG, and an additional $3 million contributed by CEG. The tax equity bridge loan will be repaid upon Rosamond South I reaching substantial completion with the final proceeds received from the tax equity investor, as well as the Company’s and the third-party cash equity investor’s additional purchase price, along with the $58 million that was contributed into escrow by the tax equity investor at acquisition date, which is included in restricted cash on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company borrowed an additional $14 million in construction loans through March 31, 2025.

Note 8 — Segment Reporting

The Company’s segment structure reflects how management currently operates and allocates resources. The Company’s businesses are segregated based on Flexible Generation and Renewables & Storage businesses, which consist of solar, wind and battery energy storage system, or BESS, facilities. The Corporate segment reflects the Company’s corporate costs and includes eliminating entries. The Company’s chief operating decision maker, its Chief Executive Officer, evaluates the performance of its segments based on net income (loss). The Company’s Chief Executive Officer reviews net income (loss) and its components on a monthly and quarterly basis to evaluate the performance of each segment and to determine how to allocate resources.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to a wide range of environmental laws during the development, construction, ownership and operation of facilities. These existing and future laws generally require that governmental permits and approvals be obtained before construction and maintained during operation of facilities. The Company is obligated to comply with all environmental laws and regulations applicable within each jurisdiction and required to implement environmental programs and procedures to monitor and control risks associated with the construction, operation and decommissioning of regulated or permitted energy assets. Federal, state and local environmental laws have historically become more stringent over time, although this trend could change in the future.

The Company’s environmental matters are further described in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K in Item 1, Business — Environmental Matters and Item 1A, Risk Factors.

Regulatory Matters

The following disclosures about the Company’s regulatory matters provide an update to, and should be read in conjunction with, Item 1, Business — Regulatory Matters and Item 1A, Risk Factors, of the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K.

On March 6, 2024, the SEC adopted a new set of rules that would require a wide range of climate-related disclosures, including material climate-related risks, information on any climate-related targets or goals that are material to the registrant’s business, results of operations or financial condition, Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions on a phased-in basis by certain larger registrants when those emissions are material and the filing of an attestation report covering the same, and disclosure of the financial statement effects of severe weather events and other natural conditions including costs and losses. Litigation challenging the rules was filed by multiple parties in multiple jurisdictions, which was consolidated and assigned to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Eighth Circuit. On April 4, 2024, the SEC announced that it was voluntarily delaying the implementation of the climate disclosure rules while the U.S. Court of Appeals considered the litigation. On March 27, 2025, the SEC voted to end the defense of the rules in the litigation.

Management’s Discussion of the Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 and 2024

Operating Revenues

Operating revenues increased by $35 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, due to a combination of the drivers summarized in the table below:


		(In millions)
Renewables & Storage Segment	Increase driven by the Victory Pass and Arica solar and BESS acquisitions, which reached commercial operations in March 2024 and April 2024, respectively, the acquisition of Texas Solar Nova 2 in March 2024 and the Rosamond Central BESS acquisition, which reached commercial operations in June 2024.	$	22
	Increase driven primarily by higher solar generation.	8
	Increase driven by the Cedar Creek wind acquisition in April 2024.	6
	Increase driven primarily by higher wind generation.	2
Flexible Generation Segment	Decrease in energy revenue primarily driven by lower generation at the Walnut Creek, Marsh Landing and El Segundo facilities, which also decreased cost of fuels as noted below.	(16)




Contract amortization	Increase driven by Cedro Hill, which reached repowering commercial operations in December 2024, resulting in the extension of the amortization period.	2
Mark-to-market economic hedging activities	Increase primarily driven by decreases in forward power prices in the PJM market.	22

		$	35

Cost of Fuels

Cost of fuels decreased by $14 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to lower generation at the Walnut Creek, Marsh Landing and El Segundo facilities, which resulted in less fuel purchases.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $59 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the same period in 2024, primarily due to the change in fair value of interest rate swaps due to changes in interest rates.

Net Loss Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company had a net loss of $111 million attributable to noncontrolling interests comprised of the following:

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company’s principal liquidity requirements are to meet its financial commitments, finance current operations, fund capital expenditures, including investments and acquisitions from time to time, service debt and pay distributions. As a normal part of the Company’s business, depending on market conditions, the Company will from time to time consider opportunities to repay, redeem, repurchase or refinance its indebtedness. Changes in the Company’s operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, investments, acquisitions or other events may cause the Company to seek additional debt or equity financing in future periods. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations and additional covenants and operating restrictions.

Current Liquidity Position

As of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Company’s liquidity was approximately $1,320 million and $1,330 million, respectively, comprised of cash, restricted cash and availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility.


(In millions)	March 31, 2025		December 31, 2024
Cash and cash equivalents:
Clearway Energy LLC, excluding subsidiaries	$	85	$	138
Subsidiaries	207		194

The Company’s liquidity includes $414 million and $401 million of restricted cash balances as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. Restricted cash consists primarily of funds to satisfy the requirements of certain debt arrangements and funds held within the Company’s facilities that are restricted in their use. As of March 31, 2025, these restricted funds were comprised of $166 million designated to fund operating expenses, approximately $133 million designated for current debt service payments and $83 million restricted for reserves including debt service, performance obligations and other reserves, as well as capital expenditures. The remaining $32 million is held in distribution reserve accounts.

Clearway Energy LLC and Clearway Energy Operating LLC Revolving Credit Facility

As of March 31, 2025, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and $86 million in letters of credit outstanding. The facility will continue to be used for general corporate purposes including financing of future investments or acquisitions and posting letters of credit.

Management believes that the Company’s liquidity position, cash flows from operations and availability under its revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet the Company’s financial commitments; debt service obligations; growth, operating and maintenance capital expenditures; and to fund distributions to Clearway, Inc. and CEG. Management continues to regularly monitor the Company’s ability to finance the needs of its operating, financing and investing activity within the dictates of prudent balance sheet management.

Credit Ratings

Credit rating agencies rate a firm’s public debt securities. These ratings are utilized by the debt markets in evaluating a firm’s credit risk. Ratings influence the price paid to issue new debt securities by indicating to the market the Company’s ability to pay principal, interest and preferred dividends. Rating agencies evaluate a firm’s industry, cash flow, leverage, liquidity and hedge profile, among other factors, in their credit analysis of a firm’s credit risk. As of March 31, 2025, the Company’s 2028 Senior Notes, 2031 Senior Notes and 2032 Senior Notes were rated BB by S&P and Ba2 by Moody’s.

Sources of Liquidity

The Company’s principal sources of liquidity include cash on hand, cash generated from operations, proceeds from sales of assets, borrowings under new and existing financing arrangements and the issuance of additional equity and debt securities by Clearway, Inc. or the Company as appropriate given market conditions. As described in Note 7, Long-term Debt, to this Form 10-Q and Item 15 — Note 10, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K, the Company’s financing arrangements consist of corporate level debt, which includes Senior Notes and the revolving credit facility; the ATM Program; and facility-level financings for its various assets.

Uses of Liquidity

The Company’s requirements for liquidity and capital resources, other than for operating its facilities, are categorized as: (i) debt service obligations, as described more fully in Note 7, Long-term Debt; (ii) capital expenditures; (iii) off-balance sheet arrangements; (iv) acquisitions and investments, as described more fully in Note 3, Acquisitions; and (v) distributions.

Capital Expenditures

The Company’s capital spending program is mainly focused on maintenance capital expenditures, consisting of costs to maintain the assets currently operating, such as costs to replace or refurbish assets during routine maintenance, and growth capital expenditures consisting of costs to construct new assets, costs to increase the operating capacity of existing assets and costs to complete the construction of assets where construction is in process.

For the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company used approximately $56 million to fund capital expenditures, including growth expenditures of $55 million, primarily in the Renewables & Storage segment, funded through construction-related financing. Growth capital expenditures included $19 million incurred in connection with the Dan’s Mountain wind facility, $17 million incurred in connection with the repowering of the Cedro Hill wind facility, $9 million in connection with the Rosamond South I solar and BESS facility, $6 million in connection with the Victory Pass and Arica solar and BESS facilities and $4 million incurred by other facilities. In addition, the Company incurred $1 million of maintenance capital expenditures, which is net of credits received from equipment manufacturers.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Obligations under Certain Guarantee Contracts

The Company may enter into guarantee arrangements in the normal course of business to facilitate commercial transactions with third parties.

Retained or Contingent Interests

The Company does not have any material retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity.

Obligations Arising Out of a Variable Interest in an Unconsolidated Entity

Variable interest in equity investments — As of March 31, 2025, the Company has several investments with an ownership interest percentage of 50% or less. GenConn is a VIE for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s pro-rata share of non-recourse debt held by unconsolidated affiliates was approximately $277 million as of March 31, 2025. This indebtedness may restrict the ability of these subsidiaries to issue dividends or distributions to the Company.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The Company has a variety of contractual obligations and other commercial commitments that represent prospective cash requirements in addition to the Company’s capital expenditure programs, as disclosed in the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K.

Acquisitions and Investments

The Company intends to acquire generation assets developed and constructed by CEG, as well as generation assets from third parties where the Company believes its knowledge of the market and operating expertise provides a competitive advantage, and to utilize such acquisitions as a means to grow its business.

Tuolumne Wind Acquisition — On April 29, 2025, the Company acquired the Tuolumne wind facility from an investment-grade regulated entity for approximately $207 million, subject to working capital adjustments. Tuolumne reached commercial operations in 2009. In connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a 15-year PPA with an investment-grade regulated entity that commenced in April 2025. Also in connection with the acquisition, the Company entered into a financing agreement, which included the issuance of a $163 million term loan, as well as $22 million in letters of credit in support of debt service and facility obligations, supported by the Company’s interests in the Tuolumne wind facility. The Company utilized a portion of the proceeds from the term loan to pay $4 million in related financing costs. The acquisition was funded with the borrowings under the new non-recourse facility-level debt, as well as existing sources of liquidity. The Company estimates that its total capital investment in Tuolumne will be $61 million, which includes estimated transaction expenses.

Luna Valley Drop Down — On April 29, 2025, the Company, through its indirect subsidiary, LV-Daggett Parent Holdco LLC, acquired Luna Valley Class B, the indirect owner of the Luna Valley solar facility, from Clearway Renew for initial cash consideration of $18 million. At substantial completion, which is expected to occur in the second half of 2025, the Company estimates it will pay an additional $72 million to Clearway Renew. The Company estimates that its total capital investment in Luna Valley Class B will be $90 million, excluding the impact of any closing adjustments noted in the purchase agreement.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements and related disclosures in compliance with GAAP requires the application of appropriate technical accounting rules and guidance, as well as the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The application of these policies necessarily involves judgments regarding future events, including the likelihood of success of particular facilities, legal and regulatory challenges and the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. These judgments, in and of themselves, could materially affect the financial statements and disclosures based on varying assumptions, which may be appropriate to use. In addition, the financial and operating environment may also have a significant effect, not only on the operation of the business, but on the results reported through the application of accounting measures used in preparing the financial statements and related disclosures, even if the nature of the accounting policies has not changed.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates these estimates, utilizing historic experience, consultation with experts and other methods the Company considers reasonable. Actual results may differ substantially from the Company’s estimates. Any effects on the Company’s business, financial position or results of operations resulting from revisions to these estimates are recorded in the period in which the information that gives rise to the revision becomes known.

The Company identifies its most critical accounting policies as those that are the most pervasive and important to the portrayal of the Company’s financial position and results of operations, and that require the most difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments by management regarding estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company’s critical accounting policies include accounting utilizing HLBV and determining the fair value of financial instruments.

ITEM 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to several market risks in its normal business activities. Market risk is the potential loss that may result from market changes associated with the Company’s power generation or with an existing or forecasted financial or commodity transaction. The types of market risks the Company is exposed to are commodity price risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk and credit risk. The following disclosures about market risk provide an update to, and should be read in conjunction with, Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of the Company’s 2024 Form 10-K.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risks result from exposures to changes in spot prices, forward prices, volatilities and correlations between various commodities, such as electricity, natural gas and emissions credits. The Company manages the commodity price risk of certain of its merchant generation operations by entering into derivative or non-derivative instruments to hedge the variability in future cash flows from forecasted power sales. The portion of forecasted transactions hedged may vary based upon management's assessment of market, weather, operation and other factors.

Based on a sensitivity analysis using simplified assumptions, the impact of a $0.50 per MWh increase or decrease in power prices across the term of the long-term power commodity contracts would cause a change of approximately $6 million to the net value of the related derivatives as of March 31, 2025.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates through its issuance of variable rate debt. Exposures to interest rate fluctuations may be mitigated by entering into derivative instruments known as interest rate swaps, caps, collars and put or call options. These contracts reduce exposure to interest rate volatility and result in primarily fixed rate debt obligations when taking into account the combination of the variable rate debt and the interest rate derivative instrument. See Note 6, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for more information.

Most of the Company’s subsidiaries enter into interest rate swaps intended to hedge the risks associated with interest rates on non-recourse facility-level debt. See Item 15 — Note 10, Long-term Debt, to the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 included in the 2024 Form 10-K for more information about interest rate swaps of the Company’s subsidiaries.

If all of the interest rate swaps had been discontinued on March 31, 2025, the counterparties would have owed the Company $132 million. Based on the credit ratings of the counterparties, the Company believes its exposure to credit risk due to nonperformance by counterparties to its hedge contracts to be insignificant.

The Company has long-term debt instruments that subject it to the risk of loss associated with movements in market interest rates. As of March 31, 2025, a change of 1%, or 100 basis points, in interest rates would result in an approximately $2 million change in market interest expense on a rolling twelve-month basis.

As of March 31, 2025, the fair value of the Company’s debt was $7,255 million and the carrying value was $7,677 million. The Company estimates that a decrease of 1%, or 100 basis points, in market interest rates would have increased the fair value of its long-term debt by approximately $293 million.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from the general funding needs of the Company’s activities and in the management of the Company’s assets and liabilities.

Counterparty Credit Risk

Credit risk relates to the risk of loss resulting from non-performance or non-payment by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. The Company monitors and manages credit risk through credit policies that include: (i) an established credit approval process; and (ii) the use of credit mitigation measures such as prepayment arrangements or volumetric limits. Risks surrounding counterparty performance and credit could ultimately impact the amount and timing of expected cash flows. The Company seeks to mitigate counterparty risk by having a diversified portfolio of counterparties. See Note 5, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to the consolidated financial statements for more information about concentration of credit risk.
