What They Do

Clearway Energy Group specializes in developing, owning, and operating utility-scale renewable energy projects, focusing on solar, wind, and battery energy storage systems. The company also engages in some natural gas generation and thermal infrastructure through its affiliate. Their services encompass full-scope project development, which includes siting, permitting, construction, and long-term operations.

Clearway's products include contracted power generation under long-term power purchase agreements (PPAs) with utilities, community choice aggregators, and corporate buyers. They deliver a range of energy services, including baseload, peaking, and thermal energy services like steam and chilled water via district systems. Their target markets span 28 U.S. states, serving utilities, regional transmission organizations, commercial and industrial customers, and corporate offtakers such as PepsiCo. The company is particularly focused on both regulated and deregulated regions, with significant development in solar (6 GW), wind (6 GW), and storage (4 GW paired/standalone) (source: clearwayenergygroup.com).

Clearway Energy Group distinguishes itself in the competitive landscape by holding over 10.7 GW of operating or in development storage assets across 16 states. They have a unique strategy of repurposing retired fossil fuel sites, such as those adjacent to former gas plants, and boast a 30 GW nationwide development pipeline.
