NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Nature of Business

Clearway Energy, Inc. together with its consolidated subsidiaries, or the Company, is a publicly-traded energy infrastructure investor in and owner of modern, sustainable and long-term contracted assets across North America. The Company is indirectly owned by Global Infrastructure Partners III. Global Infrastructure Management, LLC is an independent fund manager of funds that invests in infrastructure assets in the energy and transport sectors, and Global Infrastructure Partners III is its third equity fund. The Company is sponsored by GIP through GIP's portfolio company, CEG.

The Company was previously owned by NRG Energy, Inc., or NRG. On August 31, 2018, NRG transferred its full ownership interest in the Company to CEG, the holder of NRG's renewable energy development and operations platform, and subsequently sold 100% of its interest in CEG to GIP, referred to hereinafter as the GIP Transaction.

The Company’s environmentally-sound asset portfolio includes over 5,272 MW of wind, solar and natural gas-fired power generation facilities, as well as district energy systems. Through this diversified and contracted portfolio, the Company endeavors to provide its investors with stable and growing dividend income. Substantially all of the Company's generation assets are under long-term contractual arrangements for the output or capacity from these assets. The thermal assets are comprised of district energy systems and combined heat and power plants that produce steam, hot water and/or chilled water and, in some instances, electricity at a central plant. Certain district energy systems are subject to rate regulation by state public utility commissions (although they may negotiate certain rates) while the other district energy systems have rates determined by negotiated bilateral contracts.

The Company consolidates the results of Clearway Energy LLC through its controlling interest, with CEG's interest shown as noncontrolling interest in the financial statements. The holders of the Company's outstanding shares of Class A and Class C common stock are entitled to dividends as declared. CEG receives its distributions from Clearway Energy LLC through its ownership of Clearway Energy LLC Class B and Class D units. The Company currently owns 55.8% of the economic interests of Clearway Energy LLC, with CEG retaining 44.2% of the economic interests of Clearway Energy LLC.

The following table represents the structure of the Company as of June 30, 2019:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the SEC’s regulations for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The following notes should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies and other disclosures as set forth in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments consisting of normal and recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2019, and the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

PG&E Bankruptcy

On January 29, 2019, PG&E filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California. Certain subsidiaries of the Company, which hold interests in 6 solar facilities totaling 480 MW and Marsh Landing with capacity of 720 MW, sell the output of their facilities to PG&E under long-term PPAs. The Company consolidates three of the solar facilities and Marsh Landing and records its interest in the other solar facilities as equity method investments. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $1.4 billion of property, plant and equipment, net, $357 million investments in unconsolidated affiliates and $1.3 billion of borrowings with final maturity dates ranging from 2023 - 2038 related to these facilities. The related subsidiaries of the Company are parties to financing agreements consisting of non-recourse project-level debt and, in certain cases, non-recourse holding company debt. The PG&E Bankruptcy triggered defaults under the PPAs with PG&E and such related project-level financing agreements. As a result, the Company recorded $1.3 billion of principal, net of the related unamortized debt issuance costs, as short-term debt as of June 30, 2019. As of August 5, 2019, the Company's contracts with PG&E have operated in the normal course and the Company currently expects these contracts to continue as such. As of August 5, 2019, the Company has entered into forbearance agreements for certain project-level financing arrangements, and

continues to seek forbearance agreements for its other project-level financing arrangements affected by the PG&E Bankruptcy. For further discussion see Note 7, Long-term Debt.

Transition Services Agreement

As a result of the GIP Transaction, the Company entered into a Transition Services Agreement with NRG, or the NRG TSA, pursuant to which NRG or certain of its affiliates began providing certain services to the Company following the consummation of the GIP Transaction on August 31, 2018, in exchange for the payment of a fee in respect of such services. A material portion of these processes terminated during the second quarter of 2019 and such services were subsequently provided by both the Company and by CEG pursuant to the CEG Master Services Agreements. During the second quarter of 2019, the Company exercised its option to extend the term of the NRG TSA through April 30, 2020 for the remaining services, some of which will be billed at an hourly rate as agreed between the parties. Expenses related to the NRG TSA are recorded in transaction and integration costs in the consolidated statements of operations.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could be different from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents held at project subsidiaries was $86 million and $109 million as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statements of cash flows.

Cash and cash equivalents	$	93	$	407
Restricted cash	203		176
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows	$	296	$	583

Restricted cash consists primarily of funds held to satisfy the requirements of certain debt agreements and funds held within the Company's projects that are restricted in their use. As of June 30, 2019, these restricted funds were comprised of $60 million designated to fund operating expenses, approximately $45 million designated for current debt service payments, and $42 million restricted for reserves including debt service, performance obligations and other reserves, as well as capital expenditures.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

On January 1, 2018, the Company adopted the guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or Topic 606, using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts which were not completed as of the adoption date, with no adjustment required to the financial statements upon adoption. Following the adoption of the new standard, the Company’s revenue recognition of its contracts with customers remains materially consistent with its historical practice. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for those periods. The Company's policies with respect to its various revenue streams are detailed below. In general, the Company applies the invoicing practical expedient to recognize revenue for the revenue streams detailed below, except in circumstances where the invoiced amount does not represent the value transferred to the customer.

Thermal Revenues

Steam and chilled water revenue is recognized as the Company transfers the product to the customer, based on customer usage as determined by meter readings taken at month-end. Some locations read customer meters throughout the month and recognize estimated revenue for the period between meter read date and month-end. For thermal contracts, the Company’s performance obligation to deliver steam and chilled water is satisfied over time and revenue is recognized based on the invoiced amount. The Thermal Business subsidiaries collect and remit state and local taxes associated with sales to their customers, as required by governmental authorities. These taxes are presented on a net basis in the income statement.

As contracts for steam and chilled water are long-term contracts, the Company has performance obligations under these contracts that have not yet been satisfied. These performance obligations have transaction prices that are both fixed and variable, and which vary based on the contract duration, customer type, inception date and other contract-specific factors. For the fixed price contracts, the Company cannot accurately estimate the amount of its unsatisfied performance obligations as it will vary based on customer usage, which will depend on factors such as weather and customer activity.

Power Purchase Agreements

The majority of the Company’s revenues are obtained through PPAs or other contractual agreements. Energy, capacity and where applicable, renewable attributes, from the majority of the Company’s renewable energy assets and certain conventional energy plants is sold through long-term PPAs and tolling agreements to a single counterparty, which is often a utility or commercial customer. The majority of these PPAs are accounted for as leases. ASC 840 requires the minimum lease payments received to be amortized over the term of the lease and contingent rentals are recorded when the achievement of the contingency becomes probable. Management's judgment is required in determining the economic life of each generating facility, in evaluating whether certain lease provisions constitute minimum payments or represent contingent rent and other factors in determining whether a contract contains a lease and whether the lease is an operating lease or capital lease.

Renewable Energy Credits

Renewable energy credits, or RECs, are usually sold through long-term PPAs. Revenue from the sale of self-generated RECs is recognized when the related energy is generated and simultaneously delivered even in cases where there is a certification lag as it has been deemed to be perfunctory.

In a bundled contract to sell energy, capacity and/or self-generated RECs, all performance obligations are deemed to be delivered at the same time and hence, timing of recognition of revenue for all performance obligations is the same and occurs over time. In such cases, it is often unnecessary to allocate transaction price to multiple performance obligations.

Sale of Emission Allowances

The Company records its bank of emission allowances as part of intangible assets. From time to time, management may authorize the transfer of emission allowances in excess of usage from the Company's emission bank to intangible assets held-for-sale for trading purposes. The Company records the sale of emission allowances on a net basis within operating revenue in the Company's consolidated statements of operations.

Disaggregated Revenues

The following tables represent the Company’s disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers along with the reportable segment for each category for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019:

Contract Balances

The following table reflects the contract assets and liabilities included on the Company’s balance sheet as of June 30, 2019:



(In millions)	June 30, 2019
Accounts receivable, net - Contracts with customers	$	37
Accounts receivable, net - Leases	94
Total accounts receivable, net ^(a)	$	131

^(a) Total accounts receivable, net, excludes $5 million generated at projects affected by PG&E Bankruptcy, which were reclassified to non-current assets as of June 30, 2019.

Income Taxes

Prior to the GIP Transaction, Clearway Energy, Inc. was included in certain NRG consolidated unitary state tax return filings which was reflected in the Clearway Energy, Inc. state effective tax rate. Following the GIP Transaction, Clearway Energy, Inc. will file under a separate standalone methodology, resulting in a higher state effective tax rate due to a larger percentage of activity allocated to high-tax jurisdictions.

Note 3 — Business Acquisitions

2019 Acquisitions

Duquesne University District Energy System Acquisition — On May 1, 2019, the Company, through its indirect subsidiary ECP Uptown Campus LLC, acquired the Duquesne University district energy system, totaling 87 combined MWt, located in Pittsburgh, PA. As part of the acquisition, Duquesne University entered into a 40-year Energy Services Agreement through which ECP Uptown Campus LLC will fulfill the university's electricity, chilled water and steam requirements in exchange for monthly capacity payments. The transaction is reflected in the Company's Thermal segment.

The total investment for the project is approximately $107 million. This includes $100 million related to the purchase of district energy assets, which was funded through a combination of issuance of non-recourse debt in the amount of $95 million, as further discussed in Note 7—Long-term Debt, as well as cash on hand.

The acquisition was determined to be as an asset acquisition under ASC 805, with identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed recorded at their estimated fair values on the acquisition date.

2018 Acquisitions

UPMC Thermal Project Asset Acquisition — On June 19, 2018, upon reaching substantial completion, the Company acquired from NRG the UPMC Thermal Project for cash consideration of $84 million, subject to working capital adjustments. The Company had a payable of $4 million to NRG as of December 31, 2018, $3 million of which was paid in January 2019 upon final completion of the project pursuant to the EPC agreement. The project added 73 MWt of thermal equivalent capacity and 7.5 MW of emergency backup thermal capacity to the Company's portfolio. The transaction is reflected in the Company's Thermal segment. The acquisition was funded with the proceeds from the sale of the Series E Notes and Series F Notes. The assets transferred to the Company relate to interests under common control by NRG and were recorded at book value in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations - Related Issues. The difference between the purchase price and book value of the assets was recorded as a distribution to NRG and decreased the balance of its noncontrolling interest. The acquisition was determined to be an asset acquisition and not a business combination, and therefore no recast of the historical financial information was deemed necessary.

Central CA Fuel Cell 1, LLC — On April 18, 2018, the Company acquired the Central CA Fuel Cell 1, LLC project in Tulare, California from FuelCell Energy Finance, Inc., for cash consideration of $11 million, subject to working capital adjustments. The project adds 2.8 MW of thermal capacity to the Company's portfolio, with a 20-year PPA contract with the City of Tulare. The transaction is reflected in the Company's Thermal segment.

Buckthorn Solar Drop Down Asset — On March 30, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of NRG's interests in Buckthorn Renewables, LLC, which owned a 154 MW construction-stage utility-scale solar generation project located in Texas, or the Buckthorn Solar Drop Down Asset, for cash consideration of $42 million. The Company also assumed non-recourse debt of $183 million and non-controlling interest of $19 million, as of the acquisition date, attributable to the Class A member. The Company converted $132 million of non-recourse debt to a term loan and the remainder of the outstanding debt was paid down with the contribution from the Class A member in the amount of $80 million upon the project reaching substantial completion in May 2018. The purchase price for the Buckthorn Solar Drop Down Asset was funded with cash on hand and borrowings from the Company's revolving credit facility. The assets and liabilities transferred to the Company related to interests under common control by NRG and were recorded at historical cost in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations - Related Issues. The difference between the cash paid and historical value of the entities' equity was recorded as a distribution to NRG and decreased the balance of its noncontrolling interest. Since the transaction constituted a transfer of net assets under common control, the guidance requires retrospective combination of the entities for all periods presented as if the combination had been in effect since the inception of common control.

The project sells power under a 25-year PPA to the City of Georgetown, Texas, which commenced in July 2018.

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

Entities that are Consolidated

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 facilities, as further described in Note 5, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K.

Repowering Partnership — On August 30, 2018, Wind TE Holdco, an indirect subsidiary of the Company, formed a partnership with Clearway Renew LLC, an indirect subsidiary of CEG, in order to facilitate the repowering of wind facilities of two of its indirect subsidiaries, Elbow Creek Wind Project LLC, or Elbow Creek and Wildorado Wind LLC, or Wildorado Wind. Wind TE Holdco contributed its interests in the two facilities and Clearway Renew LLC contributed a turbine supply agreement, including title to certain components that qualify for production tax credits. Wind TE Holdco is the managing member of the partnership and consolidates the entity, which is a VIE. Clearway Renew LLC is entitled to allocations of 21% of income, which is reflected in Wind TE Holdco’s noncontrolling interests.

On June 14, 2019, Repowering Partnership LLC was replaced with Repowering Partnership II LLC as the owner of the Elbow Creek and Wildorado Wind projects, as well as Repowering Partnership Holdco LLC, which concurrently entered into a financing agreement for construction debt of $219 million, as further described in Note 7, Long-term Debt. In connection with the completion of the financing, and after taking into account the higher cash flow from the reduction in debt service in 2019 resulting from the partial repayment of the Viento financing, the Company committed to invest an estimated $111 million in net corporate capital to fund the repowering of the wind facilities, subject to closing adjustments.

Kawailoa Partnership — On August 31, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Clearway Renew LLC, a subsidiary of CEG, to acquire the Class A membership interests in the Kawailoa Solar Partnership LLC, or Kawailoa Partnership, for $9 million in cash consideration. The purpose of the partnership is to own, finance, operate, and maintain the Kawailoa Solar project, a 49 MW utility-scale solar generation project, an indirect subsidiary of the Kawailoa Partnership, which is being developed in Oahu, Hawaii. The Kawailoa Solar project is contracted to sell power under long-term PPAs with Hawaiian Electric Company upon reaching COD. The Kawailoa Solar project is 51% owned by the Kawailoa Partnership, with the remaining 49% owned by a third-party investor. The Kawailoa Partnership consolidates the Kawailoa Solar project through its controlling majority interest.

On May 7, 2019, the Company made an initial capital contribution of $2 million, which represents 20% of its total anticipated capital contributions. The Company assumed non-recourse debt of $120 million, as further described in Note 7, Long-term Debt and non-controlling interests attributable to third parties in the amount of $21 million. The Company recorded a $7 million payable due to Clearway Renew LLC in accounts payable — affiliate on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019, which represents the remaining 80% of the equity commitment and will be funded on the date the Kawailoa Solar project reaches substantial completion. The Company, as a Class A member, is the primary beneficiary through its position as managing member and consolidates Kawailoa Partnership. Allocations of income and taxable items are equal to the distributions of available cash, which is currently 95% to the Company and 5% to Clearway Renew LLC.

The Company's acquisition of the Class A membership interests in the Kawailoa Partnership was accounted for as a transfer of assets under common control and was recorded at historical cost in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations - Related Issues. The difference between the cash paid and payable recorded and the historical value of the assets was recorded as a distribution to CEG and decreased the balance of its noncontrolling interest.

Oahu Partnership — On August 31, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement with Clearway Renew LLC, a subsidiary of CEG, to acquire the Class A membership interests in the Zephyr Oahu Partnership LLC, or Oahu Partnership, for $20 million in cash consideration. The purpose of the partnership is to own, finance, operate, and maintain the Oahu Solar projects, which consist of Lanikuhana and Waipio, utility-scale solar generation projects which represent 15 MW and 46 MW respectively, the indirect subsidiaries of the Oahu Partnership, which are being developed in Oahu, Hawaii. The Oahu Solar projects are contracted to sell power under long-term PPAs with Hawaiian Electric Company, Inc.

On March 8, 2019, the Company made an initial capital contribution of $4 million, which represents 20% of its total anticipated capital contributions. The Company also assumed non-recourse debt of $143 million, as further described in Note 7, Long-term Debt and $18 million of non-controlling interest attributable to a tax equity investor's initial contribution. The Company recorded a payable in the amount of $16 million due to Clearway Renew LLC in accounts payable — affiliate on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019. The payable represents the remaining 80% of the equity commitment and will be funded on the date the Oahu Solar LLC projects reach substantial completion. The Company, as a Class A member, is the primary beneficiary through its position as managing member and consolidates Oahu Partnership. Allocations of income and taxable items are equal to the distributions of available cash, which is currently 95% to the Company and 5% to Clearway Renew LLC.

The Company's acquisition of the Class A membership interests in the Oahu Partnership was accounted for as a transfer of assets under common control and was recorded at historical cost in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations - Related Issues. The difference between the cash paid and payable recorded and the historical value of the assets was recorded as a contribution from CEG and increased the balance of its noncontrolling interest.

Wind TE Holdco Buyout — On January 2, 2019, the Company bought out 100% of the Class A membership interests from the tax equity investor of Wind TE Holdco, for cash consideration of $19 million. The Company recorded the difference between the value of the interest bought and the cash received to equity and allocated it between non-controlling interest and additional paid in capital based on the economic ownership interest between CEG and public interest as of January 2, 2019.

Buckthorn Renewables, LLC — As described in Note 3, Business Acquisitions, on March 30, 2018, the Company acquired 100% of NRG’s interest in a 154 MW construction-stage utility-scale solar generation project, Buckthorn Renewables, LLC, which owns 100% interest in Buckthorn Solar Portfolio, LLC, which in turn owns 100% of the Class B membership interests in Buckthorn Holdings, LLC. Buckthorn Holdings, LLC is a tax equity fund, which is a variable interest entity that is consolidated by Buckthorn Solar Portfolio, LLC. The Company is the primary beneficiary, through its position as managing member, and indirectly consolidates Buckthorn Holdings, LLC through Buckthorn Solar Portfolio, LLC. The Class A member's interest in the tax equity fund is reflected as noncontrolling interest on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet. The Company utilizes the HLBV method to determine the net income or loss allocated to the tax equity investor noncontrolling interest.

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, accounts payable, accounts payable — affiliates, accrued expenses and other 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 estimated carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s recorded financial instruments not carried at fair market value are as follows:



	As of June 30, 2019				As of December 31, 2018
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
(In millions)
Liabilities:
Long-term debt, including current portion^(a)	$	6,183	$	6,121	$	6,043	$	5,943

^(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 non-publicly traded long-term debt 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 June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:



	As of June 30, 2019				As of December 31, 2018
	Level 2		Level 3		Level 2		Level 3
	(In millions)
Long-term debt, including current portion	$	1,507	$	4,614	$	1,620	$	4,323

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company records its derivative assets and liabilities at fair value on its consolidated balance sheet. 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 Fair Value Measurements

The Company's contracts are non-exchange-traded and valued using prices provided by external sources. For some of the Company’s energy contracts, management receives quotes from multiple sources. To the extent that multiple quotes are received, the prices reflect the average of the bid-ask mid-point prices obtained from all sources believed to provide the most liquid market for the commodity. The remainder of the assets and liabilities represent contracts for which external sources or observable market quotes are not available. These contracts are valued based on various valuation techniques including, but not limited to, internal models based on a fundamental analysis of the market and extrapolation of the observable market data with similar characteristics. As of June 30, 2019, contracts valued with prices provided by models and other valuation techniques make up 10% of derivative liabilities.

The Company’s significant position classified as Level 3 includes physical power 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 and 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 tables quantify the significant unobservable inputs used in developing the fair value of the Company's Level 3 positions as of June 30, 2019:

Forward Market Price Power	Sell	Increase/(Decrease)	Lower/(Higher)

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 June 30, 2019, the non-performance reserve was $7 million gain recorded primarily in interest expense 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 in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K, the following 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; (iii) 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. The majority of these power 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.

On January 29, 2019, PG&E filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. Certain subsidiaries of the Company sell the output of their facilities to PG&E under long-term PPAs, including interests in 6 solar facilities totaling 480 MW and Marsh Landing with a capacity of 720 MW. The Company consolidates three of the solar facilities and Marsh Landing and records its interest in the other solar facilities as equity method investments. The Company had $22 million in accounts receivable due from PG&E for its consolidated projects, of which $5 million was recorded to non-current assets as of June 30, 2019. As of August 5, 2019, the Company's contracts with PG&E have operated in the normal course and the Company currently expects these contracts to continue as such. The Company has entered into forbearance agreements for certain project-level financing arrangements as of August 5, 2019, and continues seeking similar forbearance agreements with lenders for the remaining project-level financing arrangements affected by the PG&E Bankruptcy. For further discussion see Note 7, Long-term Debt.

Note 6 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

This footnote should be read in conjunction with the complete description under Note 7, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2018 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 June 30, 2019, the Company had interest rate derivative instruments on non-recourse debt extending through 2041, 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 Commodities

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had energy-related derivative instruments extending through 2029. At June 30, 2019, these contracts were not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges.

As a result of this refinancing, the Company will achieve debt service savings for each year through the remaining life of the debt.

Tapestry Refinancing

On April 29, 2019, the Company, through Tapestry Wind LLC, refinanced $147 million of non-recourse debt due 2021 at interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75% by issuing $164 million of new non-recourse financing due 2031 at an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.375%. As a result of this refinancing, the Company will achieve debt service savings for each year through the remaining life of the debt.

Note 8 — Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Shares issued during the year are weighted for the portion of the year that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic earnings per share while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

The reconciliation of Clearway Energy, Inc.'s basic and diluted earnings per share is shown in the following tables:

Note 10 — Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate

The income tax provision consisted of the following:



	Three months ended June 30,						Six months ended June 30,
(In millions, except percentages)	2019			2018			2019			2018
Loss before income tax benefit	$	(32	)	$	103		$	(86	)	$	102
Income tax benefit	4			7			(3		)	6
Effective income tax rate	(12.5		)%	6.8		%	3.5		%	5.9		%

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the overall effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to production and investment tax credits generated from certain wind and solar assets, as well as taxable earnings and losses allocated to partners' interest in Clearway Energy LLC, which includes the effects of applying HLBV method of accounting for book purposes for certain partnerships.

For tax purposes, Clearway Energy LLC is treated as a partnership; therefore, the Company and CEG each record their respective share of taxable income or loss.

Note 12 — Contingencies

This note should be read in conjunction with the complete description under Note 16, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Company's 2018 Form 10-K.

Contingencies

The Company's material legal proceedings are described below. The Company believes that it has valid defenses to these legal proceedings and intends to defend them vigorously. The Company records reserves for estimated losses from contingencies when information available indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. As applicable, the Company has established an adequate reserve for the matters discussed below. In addition, legal costs are expensed as incurred. Management assesses such matters based on current information and makes a judgment concerning its potential outcome, considering the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought, and the probability of success. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of the legal proceedings below or reasonably estimate the scope or amount of any associated costs and potential liabilities. As additional information becomes available, management adjusts its assessment and estimates of such contingencies accordingly. Because litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings or developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of the Company's liabilities and contingencies could be at amounts that are different from its currently recorded reserves and that such difference could be material.

In addition to the legal proceedings noted below, the Company and its subsidiaries are party to other litigation or legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In management's opinion, the disposition of these ordinary course matters will not materially adversely affect the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Nebraska Public Power District Litigation

On January 11, 2019, Nebraska Public Power District, or NPPD, sent written notice to certain of the Company’s subsidiaries which own the Laredo Ridge and Elkhorn Ridge wind projects alleging an event of default under each of the PPAs between NPPD and the projects. NPPD alleges that the Company moved forward with certain transactions without obtaining the consent of NPPD. NPPD threatened to terminate the applicable PPAs by February 11, 2019 if the alleged default was not cured. The Company filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska relating to the Laredo Ridge project, and a similar motion in the District Court of Knox County, Nebraska for the Elkhorn Ridge project, to enjoin NPPD from taking any actions related to the PPAs. On February 19, 2019, the U.S. District Court in the Laredo Ridge matter approved a stipulation between the parties to provide for an injunction preventing NPPD from terminating the PPA pending disposition of the litigation. On February 26, 2019, the Knox County District Court approved a similar stipulation relating to the Elkhorn Ridge project. The Company believes the allegations of NPPD are meritless and the Company is vigorously defending its rights under the PPAs.

Note 13 — Leases

Adoption of Topic 842

The Company adopted ASU No. 2019-01, Leases (Topic 842), or Topic 842, on January 1, 2019 using the modified retrospective transition method and therefore, prior period financial information has not been adjusted and continues to be reflected in accordance with the Company’s historical accounting policy. Topic 842 requires the establishment of a lease liability and related right-of-use, or ROU, asset for all leases with a term longer than 12 months. The Company elected certain of the permitted practical expedients, including the expedient that permits the Company to retain its existing lease assessment and classification. The Company also elected to account for lease and non-lease components for specific asset classes as a single lease component.

The adoption of the standard resulted in the recording of operating lease liabilities of $174 million and related ROU assets of $168 million. There was no impact to the Company’s consolidated statement of operations or cash flows. The Company utilized its incremental borrowing rate at adoption date, ranging from 4.04% - 4.67%, to determine the amount of the lease liabilities.

Accounting for Leases

The Company evaluates each arrangement at inception to determine if it contains a lease. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases as of June 30, 2019.

Lessee

The Company records its operating lease liabilities at the present value at lease commencement date of the lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments include fixed payment amounts, as well as variable rate payments based on an index initially measured at lease commencement date. Variable payments, including payments based on future performance and based on index changes, are recorded as the expense is incurred. The Company determines the relevant lease term by evaluating whether renewal and termination options are reasonably to certain to be exercised. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of the lease payments, based on information available at the lease commencement date.

The Company’s leases consist of land leases for numerous operating asset locations, real estate leases and equipment leases. The terms and conditions for these leases vary by the type of underlying asset.

Lease expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 was comprised of the following:

Lessor

The majority of the Company’s revenue is obtained through PPAs or other contractual agreements that are accounted for as leases. These leases are comprised of both fixed payments and variable payments contingent upon volumes or performance metrics. The terms of the leases are further described in Item 2 — MD&A, Introduction, Environmental, Regulatory of this Form 10-Q. Many of the leases have renewal options at the end of the lease term. Termination may be allowed under specific circumstances in the lease arrangements, such as under an event of default. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases. Certain of these leases have both lease and non-lease components, and the Company allocates the transaction price to the components based on standalone selling prices.

Note 14 — Asset Impairments

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $19 million related to a facility in the Thermal segment.The fair value of the facility was determined using an income approach by applying a discounted cash flow methodology to the long-term budgets for each respective plant. The income approach utilized estimates of discounted future cash flows, which were Level 3 fair value measurement and include key inputs, such as forecasted power prices, operations and maintenance expense, and discount rates. The Company measured the impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the assets.

Significant Events

Pacific Gas and Electric Company Bankruptcy

•

On January 29, 2019, PG&E filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California. Certain subsidiaries of the Company, which hold interests in 6 solar facilities totaling 480 MW and Marsh Landing with capacity of 720 MW, sell the output of their facilities to PG&E under long-term PPAs. The Company consolidates three of the solar facilities and Marsh Landing and records its interest in the other solar facilities as equity method investments. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $1.4 billion of property, plant and equipment, net, $357 million investments in unconsolidated affiliates and $1.3 billion of borrowings with final maturity dates ranging from 2023 - 2038 related to these facilities. The related subsidiaries of the Company are parties to financing agreements consisting of non-recourse project-level debt and, in certain cases, non-recourse holding company debt. The PG&E Bankruptcy has triggered defaults under the PPAs with PG&E and such related financing agreements, as further discussed in Item 1 —Note 7, Long-term Debt. As a result, the Company recorded approximately $1.3 billion of principal, net of the related unamortized debt issuance costs, with final maturity dates ranging from 2023 - 2038, as short-term debt. As of August 5, 2019, the Company's contracts with PG&E have operated in the normal course and the Company currently expects these contracts to continue as such. As of August 5, 2019, the Company has entered into forbearance agreements for certain project-level financing arrangements, and continues to seek forbearance agreements for its other project-level financing arrangements affected by the PG&E Bankruptcy. The Company continues to assess the potential future impacts of the PG&E bankruptcy filing as events occur.

CEG ROFO Agreement Amendment

•

On August 1, 2019, the CEG ROFO Agreement was amended to grant the Company a right of first offer for four additional projects — Rattlesnake, a 144 MW utility scale wind facility located in Washington State with an expected COD in 2020; Black Rock, a 110 MW utility scale wind facility located in West Virginia with an expected COD in 2021; Repowering 2.0, which will consist of membership interests in one or more partnerships formed to repower Company wind assets using turbines provided by CEG; and Wildflower, a 100 MW utility scale solar facility located in Mississippi with an expected COD in 2021.

Drop Down Offer

•

On June 18, 2019, CEG offered the Company the opportunity to purchase 100% of CEG's interests in Mesquite Star Pledgor LLC, which owns the Mesquite Star wind project, a 419 MW utility scale wind facility expected to reach COD in 2020. On August 1, 2019, CEG and the Company agreed to extend the negotiation period for the Mesquite Star project. The acquisition is subject to negotiation and approval by the Company's Independent Directors.

Asset Impairment


•	During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $19 million related to a facility in the Thermal segment. The Company measured the impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the assets.

Repowering Transaction

•

On June 14, 2019, the Company, through an indirect subsidiary, entered into binding equity commitment agreements in the previously announced partnership with CEG to enable the repowering of two of its existing wind assets, Wildorado and Elbow Creek, which total a combined 283 MW. In connection with the completion of the financing, and after taking into account the higher cash flow from the reduction in debt service in 2019 resulting from the partial repayment of the Viento financing, the Company committed to invest an estimated $111 million in net corporate capital to fund the repowering of the wind facilities, subject to closing adjustments.

CVSR Outage

•

On June 5, 2019, a fire occurred at the CVSR project, which affected approximately 1,200 acres of property. While the fire did not impact solar arrays, damage occurred to associated infrastructure including distribution poles and cabling. The facility was restored to full operations on July 1, 2019. The full year impact of the fire is approximately $9 million of lost revenue. The Company assumes it will receive insurance recovery for associated repair work by the end of the year.

Kawailoa Solar Partnership

•

On May 1, 2019, the Company entered into a partnership with Clearway Renew LLC, a subsidiary of CEG, to own, finance, operate, and maintain the Kawailoa Solar Partnership, which consists of the Kawailoa Solar Project, a 49 MW utility-scale solar generation project developed in Oahu, Hawaii. The Company made an original capital contribution in the amount of $2 million and recorded a $7 million payable due to Clearway Renew LLC in accounts payable - affiliate on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019. For further discussion, see Note 4, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities. The project is expected to be completed in summer 2019.

Duquesne Thermal

•

On May 1, 2019, the Company, through its indirect subsidiary ECP Uptown Campus LLC, acquired the Duquesne University district energy system, totaling 87 combined MWt, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The total investment for the project is approximately $107 million. This includes $100 million related to the purchase of district energy assets, which was funded through a combination of issuance of non-recourse debt in the amount of $95 million, as further discussed in Note 7—Long-term Debt, as well as cash on hand. As part of the acquisition, Duquesne University entered into a 40-year Energy Services Agreement through which ECP Uptown Campus LLC will fulfill the university’s electricity, chilled water and steam requirements in exchange for monthly capacity payments.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to a wide range of environmental laws in the development, construction, ownership and operation of projects. These laws generally require that governmental permits and approvals be obtained before construction and during operation of facilities. The Company is also subject to laws regarding the protection of wildlife, including migratory birds, eagles, threatened and endangered species. Federal and state environmental laws have historically become more stringent over time, although this trend could change in the future.

In June 2019, the EPA finalized the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule which establishes emission guidelines for states to develop plans to address greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants. The ACE rule also reinforces the state’s broad discretion in establishing and applying emissions standards to new emission sources. The ACE rule replaces the 2015 Clean Power Plan. The ACE rule is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s conventional generation assets.

Regulatory Matters

The Company’s regulatory matters are described in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K in Item 1, Business — Regulatory Matters and Item 1A, Risk Factors.

Trends Affecting Results of Operations and Future Business Performance

The Company’s trends are described in the Company’s 2018 Form 10-K in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Trends Affecting Results of Operations and Future Business Performance.

Management’s Discussion of the Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 and 2018

Gross Margin

The Company calculates gross margin in order to evaluate operating performance as operating revenues less cost of sales, which includes cost of fuel, contract and emission credit amortization and mark-to-market for economic hedging activities.

Economic Gross Margin

In addition to gross margin, the Company evaluates its operating performance using the measure of economic gross margin, which is not a GAAP measure and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations or deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report. Economic gross margin should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for the Company's presentation of gross margin, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Economic gross margin is not intended to represent gross margin. The Company believes that economic gross margin is useful to investors as it is a key operational measure reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker. Economic gross margin is defined as energy and capacity revenue less cost of fuels. Economic gross margin excludes the following components from GAAP gross margin: contract amortization, mark-to-market results, emissions credit amortization and (losses) gains on economic hedging activities. Mark-to-market results consist of unrealized gains and losses on contracts that are not yet settled.

The below tables present the composition of gross margin, as well as the reconciliation to economic gross margin, for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:



(In millions)	Conventional Generation			Renewables			Thermal			Total
Three months ended June 30, 2019

Contract amortization	2			15			—			17
Economic gross margin	$	86		$	168		$	32		$	286

Three months ended June 30, 2018

Other revenues	—			5			3			8
Cost of fuels	(1		)	—			(16		)	(17		)

Gross margin	84			177			29			290
Contract amortization	2			16			—			18
Economic gross margin	$	86		$	193		$	29		$	308

Gross margin decreased by $21 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, due to a combination of the drivers summarized in the table below:



Segment	Increase (Decrease)			Reason for Increase (Decrease)
Renewables:	$	(24	)	A decrease of $20 million due to wind and solar resources across the portfolio, as well as $9 million decrease at CVSR related to the June 2019 outage. This was partially offset by revenue generated at the Buckthorn Solar facility which went COD in July 2018
Thermal:	3			Revenues generated at the UPMC Thermal Project, which was completed in the second quarter of 2018
	$	(21	)

riven by outages at Walnut Creek

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to the Buckthorn Solar facility reaching COD in July 2018.

Impairment Losses

Impairment losses of $19 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 relate to a facility within the Company's Thermal segment, as further described in Note 14, Asset Impairments.

Development Costs

Development costs of $2 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, relate primarily to business development, personnel and benefits costs within the Company's Thermal segment.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $18 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to income allocated using the HLBV method to the Company in its distributed partnerships with CEG. The HLBV method of accounting generally allocates more losses to the TE investors in the first several years after fund formation, and conversely, more income to the Company.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $59 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, due to the following:



(In millions)	Increase (Decrease)
Change in fair value of interest rate swaps
Reclassification of losses previously deferred in AOCI to the statement of operations in connection with project-level debt refinancing activities	14
Issuance of Energy Center Minneapolis Series E, F, G, H Notes in June 2018 partially offset by lower debt balances at other projects within Thermal segment	2
Issuance of the 2025 Senior Notes in October 2018, partially offset by lower interest expense due to maturity and repayment of the remaining balance of the 2019 Convertible Notes in February 2019, as well as partial repayment of the 2020 Convertible Notes in October 2018	1
	$	17

Income Tax Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded income tax expense of $4 million on pretax loss of $32 million. For the same period in 2018, the Company recorded income tax expense of $7 million on pretax income of $103 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the overall effective tax rates were different than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to production and investment tax credits generated from certain wind and solar assets, as well as taxable earnings and losses allocated to partners' interests in Clearway Energy LLC, which includes the effects of applying HLBV method of accounting for book purposes for certain projects.

Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had a loss of $14 million attributable to CEG's economic interest in Clearway Energy LLC, as well as a loss of $4 million attributable to CEG's interests in the Kawailoa, Oahu and Repowering partnerships, partially offset by income of $6 million attributable to noncontrolling interests with respect to its tax equity financing arrangements and the application of the HLBV method. For the three months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had income of $118 million attributable to NRG's interest in Clearway Energy LLC, offset by a loss of $101 million attributable to noncontrolling interests with respect to its tax equity financing arrangements and the application of the HLBV method, which generally allocates more loss to the noncontrolling interest in the first several years after fund formation, reflecting the allocation of tax items such as production tax credits and tax depreciation to the fund investors.

Economic gross margin	$	165		$	306		$	59		$	530

Gross margin decreased by $28 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to a combination of the following:



Segment	Increase (Decrease)			Reason for Increase (Decrease)
(In millions)
Renewables:	$	(34	)	A decrease of $26 million due to wind and solar resources across the portfolio, as well as $9 million decrease at CVSR related to the June 2019 outage. This was partially offset by revenue generated at the Buckthorn Solar facility which went COD in July 2018. The Company also recorded a $7 million mark-to-market loss on the Elbow Creek forward power sale contract entered into during the first quarter of 2019
Thermal:	5			Revenue generated at the UPMC Thermal Project, which was completed in the second quarter of 2018
Conventional:	1
	$	(28	)

Depreciation and Amortization Expense

Depreciation and amortization expense increased by $10 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to the Buckthorn Solar facility reaching COD in July 2018.

Impairment Losses

Impairment losses of $19 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, relate to a facility within the Company's Thermal segment, as further described in Note 14, Asset Impairments.

Development Costs

Development costs of $3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, relate primarily to business development, personnel and benefits costs within the Company's Thermal segment.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $19 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily driven by lower income allocated to the Company's interests in distributed partnerships with CEG partially offset by lower losses allocated to the Company's interests in RPV Holdco.

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased by $105 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to the following:



(In millions)	Increase (Decrease)

Change in fair value of interest rate swaps	$	83
Reclassification of losses previously deferred in AOCI to the statement of operations in connection with project-level debt refinancing activities	17
Issuance of Energy Center Minneapolis Series E, F, G, H Notes in June 2018 partially offset by lower debt balances at other projects within Thermal segment	3
Higher interest expense due to Buckthorn Solar facility which went COD in July 2018, additional interest expense in connection with Repowering Partnership borrowings in June of 2019, partially offset by normal amortization of other project level debt	4
Normal project - level debt amortization in the Conventional segment	(4		)
Issuance of the 2025 Senior Notes in October 2018, partially offset by lower interest expense due to maturity and repayment of the remaining balance of the 2019 Convertible Notes in February 2019, as well as partial repayment of the 2020 Convertible Notes in October 2018	2
	$	105

Income Tax Expense

For the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the overall effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to production and investment tax credits generated from certain wind and solar assets, as well as taxable earnings and losses allocated to partners' interest in Clearway Energy LLC, which includes the effects of applying HLBV method of accounting for book purposes for certain partnerships.

Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had a loss of $35 million attributable to CEG's economic interest in Clearway Energy LLC and a loss of $6 million attributable to CEG's interests in the Kawailoa, Oahu and Repowering partnerships, offset in part by income of $2 million attributable to noncontrolling interests with respect to its tax equity financing arrangements and the application of the HLBV method. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company had income of $81 million attributable to NRG's economic interest in Clearway Energy LLC offset by a loss of $84 million attributable to noncontrolling interests with respect to its tax equity financing arrangements and application of the HLBV method, which generally allocates more loss to the noncontrolling interest in the first several years after fund formation, reflecting the allocation of tax items such as production tax credits and tax depreciation to the fund investors.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's principal liquidity requirements are to meet its financial commitments, finance current operations, fund capital expenditures, including acquisitions from time to time, service debt and pay dividends. 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, 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.

Liquidity Position

As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $450 million of available borrowings under its revolving credit facility. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company's liquidity was $746 million and $1.04 billion, respectively, comprised of the following:



(In millions)	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Cash and cash equivalents:
Clearway Energy, Inc. and Clearway Energy LLC, excluding subsidiaries	$	7	$	298
Subsidiaries	86		109
Restricted cash:
Operating accounts	60		84
Reserves, including debt service, distributions, performance obligations and other reserves	143		92
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	296	$	583
Revolving credit facility availability	450		454
Total liquidity	$	746	$	1,037

The Company's liquidity includes $203 million and $176 million of restricted cash balances as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. Restricted cash consists primarily of funds to satisfy the requirements of certain debt arrangements and funds held within the Company's projects that are restricted in their use. As of June 30, 2019, these restricted funds were comprised of $60 million designated to fund operating expenses, $45 million designated for current debt service payments, and $42 million restricted for reserves including debt service, performance obligations and other reserves, as well as capital expenditures. The remaining $56 million is held in distribution reserve accounts, of which $36 million related to subsidiaries affected by the PG&E Bankruptcy as discussed further below and may not be distributed during the pendency of the PG&E Bankruptcy.

As of June 30, 2019, there were no outstanding borrowings and $45 million of letters of credit outstanding under the Company's revolving credit facility.

On January 29, 2019, PG&E filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The PG&E Bankruptcy had no effect on availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility. However, the Company has non-recourse project-level debt related to each of its subsidiaries that sell their output to PG&E under long-term PPAs. The PG&E Bankruptcy triggered defaults under the related financing agreements which caused uncertainty around the timing of when certain project-level cash distributions will be available to the Company. As of June 30, 2019, all project level cash balances for these subsidiaries were classified as restricted cash.

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 dividends to holders of the Company's Class A common stock and Class C common stock. 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.

The following table summarizes the credit ratings for the Company and its Senior Notes as of June 30, 2019:



	S&P	Moody's
Clearway Energy, Inc.	BB	Ba2
5.375% Senior Notes, due 2024	BB	Ba2
5.750% Senior Notes, due 2025	BB	Ba2
5.000% Senior Notes, due 2026	BB	Ba2

Sources of Liquidity

The Company's principal sources of liquidity include cash on hand, cash generated from operations, borrowings under new and existing financing arrangements and the issuance of additional equity and debt securities as appropriate given market conditions. As described in Item 1— Note 7, Long-term Debt, to this Form 10-Q and Note 10, Long-term Debt, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2018 Form 10-K, the Company's financing arrangements consist of corporate level debt, which includes Senior Notes, 2020 Convertible Notes and the revolving credit facility; the ATM Program; and project-level financings.

ATM Sales — The Company did not sell any shares of Class C common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, approximately $36 million of Class C common stock remains available for issuance under the ATM Program.

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 Item 1 — Note 7, Long-term Debt; (ii) capital expenditures; (iii) acquisitions and investments; and (iv) cash dividends to investors.

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, and growth capital expenditures consisting of costs to construct new assets, costs to complete the construction of assets where construction is in process, and capital expenditures related to acquiring additional thermal customers. For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company used approximately $96 million to fund capital expenditures, including growth expenditures of $91 million, $74 million of which were in the Renewables segment in connection with the Repowering Partnership entered by the Company in August 2018, as well as the Oahu Partnership and the Kawailoa Partnership, as further described in Note 4 - Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities. The source for these capital expenditures was financing obtained in connection with the Repowering Partnership, as well as tax equity investors contributions. The Company also incurred $13 million of growth capital expenditures in the Thermal segment in connection with various development projects. For the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company used approximately $45 million to fund capital expenditures, of which $26 million related to growth expenditures in the Renewables segment in connection with the construction of Buckthorn Solar. The $26 million includes $10 million incurred by NRG during the construction of the Buckthorn Solar project prior to its acquisition by the Company on March 30, 2018. The Company estimates $30 million of maintenance expenditures for 2019. These estimates are subject to continuing review and adjustment and actual capital expenditures may vary from these estimates.

Acquisitions and Investments

The Company intends to acquire generation assets developed and constructed by CEG, as well as generation and thermal infrastructure 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 CAFD.

Repowering Transaction — On June 14, 2019, the Company, through an indirect subsidiary, entered into binding equity commitment agreements in the previously announced partnership with CEG to enable the repowering of two of its existing wind assets, Wildorado and Elbow Creek. In connection with the completion of the financing, and after taking into account the higher cash flow from the reduction in debt service in 2019 resulting from the partial repayment of the Viento financing, the Company committed to invest an estimated $111 million in net corporate capital to fund the repowering of the wind facilities, subject to closing adjustments.

Kawailoa Solar Partnership — On May 1, 2019, the Company entered into a partnership with Clearway Renew LLC, a subsidiary of CEG, to own, finance, operate, and maintain the Kawailoa Solar Partnership. The Company made an original capital contribution in the amount of $2 million and recorded a payable in the amount of $7 million due to Clearway Renew LLC in the accounts payable - affiliate on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019. For further discussion, see Note 4, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities.

Duquesne Thermal — On May 1, 2019, the Company, through its indirect subsidiary ECP Uptown Campus LLC, acquired the Duquesne University district energy system, totaling 87 combined MWt, located in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The total investment for the project is approximately $107 million. This includes $100 million related to the purchase of district energy assets, which was funded through a combination of issuance of non-recourse debt in the amount of $95 million, as further discussed in Note 7—Long-term Debt, as well as cash on hand. As part of the acquisition, Duquesne University entered into a 40-year Energy Services Agreement through which ECP Uptown Campus LLC will fulfill the university’s electricity, chilled water and steam requirements in exchange for monthly capacity payments.

Oahu Partnership — On March 8, 2019, the Company entered into a partnership with Clearway Renew LLC, a subsidiary of CEG, to own, finance, operate, and maintain the Oahu Solar projects. The Company made an original capital contribution in the amount of $4 million and recorded a payable in the amount of $16 million due to Clearway Renew LLC in the accounts payable - affiliate on the Company's consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019. For further discussion, see Note 4, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities.

Wind TE Holdco Buyout — On January 2, 2019, the Company bought out 100% of Class A membership interest from the TE Investor, for cash consideration of $19 million, as further described in Item 1 — Note 4, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities.

Investment Partnership with CEG

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company invested $10 million in distributed generation partnerships with CEG.

Open Market Repurchases

In January 2019, Clearway Energy, Inc. repurchased an aggregate principal amount of $50 million of the 2019 Convertible Notes in open market transactions. The repurchases were funded through a partial repayment of the intercompany note between Clearway Operating LLC and Clearway Energy, Inc.

Cash Dividends to Investors

Clearway Energy, Inc. intends to use the amount of cash that it receives from its distributions from Clearway Energy LLC to pay quarterly dividends to the holders of its Class A common stock and Class C common stock. Clearway Energy LLC intends to distribute to its unit holders in the form of a quarterly distribution all of the CAFD it generates each quarter, less reserves for the prudent conduct of the business, including among others, maintenance capital expenditures to maintain the operating capacity of the assets. Dividends on the Class A common stock and Class C common stock are subject to available capital, market conditions, and compliance with associated laws, regulations and other contractual obligations. The Company expects that, based on current circumstances, comparable cash dividends will continue to be paid in the foreseeable future. The Company will continue to evaluate its capital allocation approach during the pendency of the PG&E Bankruptcy, including the Company’s ability to receive unrestricted project distributions.

The following table lists the dividends paid on Clearway Energy, Inc.'s Class A common stock and Class C common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2019:



	Second Quarter 2019		First Quarter 2019
Dividends per Class A share	$	0.20	$	0.20
Dividends per Class C share	$	0.20	$	0.20

NOLs, Deferred Tax Assets and Uncertain Tax Position Implications, under ASC 740

As of December 31, 2018, the Company has a cumulative federal NOL carry forward balance of $945 million based on the latest income tax filing for financial statement purposes, which will begin expiring in 2033, and does not anticipate any federal income tax payments for 2018. As a result of the Company's tax position, and based on current forecasts, the Company does not anticipate significant income tax payments for state and local jurisdictions in 2018. Based on the Company's current and expected NOL balances generated primarily by accelerated tax depreciation of its property, plant and equipment, the Company does not expect to pay significant federal income tax for a period of approximately ten years inclusive of any NOL generated in 2018 or later subject to an 80% limitation against future taxable income pursuant to the Tax Act.

The Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities for income tax returns filed in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is not subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations for years prior to 2013.

The Company has no uncertain tax benefits.

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 June 30, 2019, the Company has several investments with an ownership interest percentage of 50% or less in energy and energy-related entities that are accounted for under the equity method. Utah Solar Portfolio, GenConn, DGPV Holdco 1, RPV Holdco, DGPV Holdco 2, and DGPV Holdco 3 are variable interest entities 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 $943 million as of June 30, 2019. The Company's pro-rata share of non-recourse debt held by unconsolidated affiliates as it related to the projects affected by PG&E bankruptcy was $426 million as of June 30, 2019. 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 2018 Form 10-K. See also Note 3, Business Acquisitions to this Form 10-Q for a discussion of additional contingencies that occurred during 2018.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The Company may enter into fuel purchase contracts and other energy-related derivative instruments to mitigate variability in earnings due to fluctuations in spot market prices and to hedge fuel requirements at certain generation facilities. In addition, in order to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the issuance of variable rate debt, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements.

The tables below disclose the activities of non-exchange traded contracts accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC 820. Specifically, these tables disaggregate realized and unrealized changes in fair value; disaggregate estimated fair values at June 30, 2019, based on their level within the fair value hierarchy defined in ASC 820; and indicate the maturities of contracts at June 30, 2019. For a full discussion of the Company's valuation methodology of its contracts, see Derivative Fair Value Measurements in Item — 1 Note 5, Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

The Company has elected to disclose derivative assets and liabilities on a trade-by-trade basis and does not offset amounts at the counterparty master agreement level. As discussed below in Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - Commodity Price Risk, the Company, measures the sensitivity of the portfolio to potential changes in market prices using VaR, a statistical model which attempts to predict risk of loss based on market price and volatility. The Company's risk management policy places a limit on one-day holding period VaR, which limits the net open position.

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 projects, 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. In any event, 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 income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, impairment of long lived assets and other intangible assets and acquisition accounting.

Recent Accounting Developments

See Item — 1 Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for a discussion of recent accounting developments.

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 2018 Form 10-K.

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 Item 1 — Note 6, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for more information.

Most of the Company's project subsidiaries enter into interest rate swaps, intended to hedge the risks associated with interest rates on non-recourse project level debt. See Note 10, Long-term Debt, to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 included in the 2018 Form 10-K for more information about interest rate swaps of the Company's project subsidiaries.

If all of the interest rate swaps had been discontinued on June 30, 2019, the Company would have owed the counterparties $102 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 June 30, 2019, a 1% change in interest rates would result in an approximately $3.8 million change in market interest expense on a rolling twelve-month basis.

As of June 30, 2019, the fair value of the Company's debt was $6,121 million and the carrying value was $6,183 million. The Company estimates that a 1% decrease in market interest rates would have increased the fair value of its long-term debt by approximately $243 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.

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 its merchant generation operations by entering into derivative or non-derivative instruments to hedge the variability in future cash flows from forecasted power sales or purchases of fuel. 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 MMBtu increase or decrease in natural gas prices across the term of the derivative contracts would cause a change of approximately $3 million to the net value of derivatives as of June 30, 2019.

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 Item 1 - Note 1, Nature of Business, and Note 5, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about concentration of credit risk.

ITEM 4 — Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

In connection with the GIP Transaction, the Company entered into a TSA pursuant to which NRG Energy, Inc. provided information technology, systems, applications, and business processes to the Company. A material portion of these processes terminated during the second quarter of 2019 and such services were subsequently provided by both the Company and by CEG pursuant to the CEG Master Services Agreements. Under the CEG Master Services Agreements, the Company continues to review, document and evaluate the existing internal controls over financial reporting. There were no other changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2019 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
