Clearway Energy, Inc. Provides Update on
Second Quarter 2023 Wind Production
PRINCETON, NJ — July 13,
2023— Clearway Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CWEN, CWEN.A) (“Company”) today announced that wind production for its fleet
in the second quarter of 2023 was approximately 25% below internal median production estimates, which was inclusive of the Alta Wind Complex’s
wind production at approximately 20% below internal expectations. This deviation in the Company’s wind production index represented
the lowest quarterly production reading in the Company’s history and resulted in an estimated decrease to second quarter 2023 revenue
of between $25 and $30 million.
"Despite the abnormally low wind resource
in the second quarter, we continue to have confidence that our long-term outlook remains intact based on historical trends for resource
across our asset portfolio,” said Christopher Sotos, Clearway Energy, Inc.’s President and Chief Executive Officer. “Clearway
is reiterating its target to achieve the upper range of its 5% to 8% annual dividend growth objective through at least 2026 while maintaining
an 80-85% long-term payout ratio. We continue to plan to meet this target without needing to issue external equity while adhering to our
balance sheet objectives.”

2023 financial results as well as update its 2023 financial guidance as part of its second quarter 2023 earnings update on Tuesday, August 8.
