Clearway Acquires 137 MW Wind Project along the Columbia River in Southern Washington State

Tuolumne Wind generates enough electricity to power 44,000 homes per year

SAN FRANCISCO — Clearway Energy Group and Clearway Energy, Inc. (NYSE: CWEN, CWEN.A) announced today that it completed its acquisition of the Tuolumne Wind Project in Klickitat County, Washington. The 137-megawatt (MW) wind farm has a strong operating history and generates enough reliable electricity to power over 44,000 homes every year.

“We are thrilled to expand our investment in Washington state and provide reliable, low-cost power to homes and businesses on the West Coast,” said John Woody, Senior Vice President of Development at Clearway. “We look forward to our long-term partnership with the Turlock Irrigation District through this project.”

As a result of this acquisition, Clearway will contribute $1.3 million in annual sales and property taxes to Klickitat County to support local schools, hospitals, and other public services.

Located along the Columbia River, the project site has been recognized as one of the most productive wind resource areas in the western United States.

The project will sell power under an amended agreement with Turlock Irrigation District, with an initial 15-year contract term and the option for a future repowering, potentially extending the project’s lifespan by upgrading turbine components. This acquisition represents a $60 million investment in Washington, where Clearway’s existing footprint includes the 160 MW Rattlesnake Flat wind farm in Adams County.
