What We Do
Origination
Our Origination team has proven experience in delivering renewable power under long-term contracts to corporations, residential and wholesale customers, including utilities, municipals, cooperatives and competitive retail providers.
We pride ourselves on delivering on our commitments and providing innovative solutions to meet our customers’ needs.
Clearway has a strong presence across key U.S. markets in both regulated and deregulated regions where we have utility-scale and community solar projects operating and in development.
Development
The Development team works closely with property owners, local government, utilities, state and federal environmental agencies, qualified technical consultants, and stakeholders to ensure our projects are responsibly sited and developed.
Comprised of experienced project developers and subject matter experts in transmission and market strategy, land use permitting, and real estate resolution, the Development team manages projects from conception through siting, land surveying, entitlement, design, interconnection, contract negotiation, and financing.
The Development team is on the front lines of Clearway’s mission “to do good by our customers, our communities, our environment” and prioritizes protecting natural resources and creating positive and lasting relationships with our projects’ landowners and neighbors.

Clearway maintains an industry-leading level of quality assurance in our Engineering, Procurement, and Construction Management processes, ensuring that equipment and design exceed project goals.

Our diversified financing experience combined with our portfolio of long-term generation assets gives Clearway a unique advantage working with investors and financing institutions. Our Capital Markets team prioritizes building mutually beneficial and lasting relationships with capital providers to secure financing in the most competitive markets.
Commercial Operations
Clearway’s Commercial Operations team, which manages the operations, maintenance, and asset management for our wind and solar assets totaling over 5.7 GW, serves as the primary asset manager on the vast majority of assets owned by Clearway Energy Group and Clearway Energy, Inc. Clearway prides itself on being a world-class asset owner and operator of renewable generation.
