Message from Our CEO

The work we do at Clearway is generational. Energy infrastructure lasts for decades, and few industries offer the opportunity to shape the future at the scale that ours does. Each year, the decisions we make and the projects we deliver ripple forward. In 2025, that reality felt especially present. What we build today will help define how America powers its homes, businesses, and communities well into the future. Every day—often invisibly—Clearway helps keep the lights on for millions of people.

This year alone, we generated more than 17 million* megawatt hours of electricity, enough to power over 2 million American households. Looking ahead, the capacity we plan to bring online by the end of the decade will be sufficient to serve more than four million additional homes. These outcomes directly support national priorities to deliver energy that is safe, affordable, and reliable—principles that are foundational to America’s economic strength and energy security.

The timing of this work could not be more consequential. Electricity demand in the United States is rising at a pace not seen since World War II, driven by the rapid expansion of data centers and AI infrastructure, industrial reshoring, and the electrification of transportation and buildings. Meeting this moment requires urgency, but also discipline. It requires long-term thinking, resilient systems, and people willing to navigate complexity without losing sight of what matters most.

In 2025, Clearway’s teams rose to that challenge. Their creativity, grit, and resolve enabled meaningful progress across our business. We achieved our strongest safety performance to date, with industry-leading results including zero lost time injuries in construction and only one lost time injury in operations—an achievement that reflects our unwavering commitment to protecting the people who make this work possible.

We also continued to expand and strengthen our portfolio. This year, we brought 1,500 megawatts of new projects online and added another 859 megawatts through strategic acquisitions, growing our operating fleet to 13.2 gigawatts nationwide. We broke ground on new energy storage facilities, began repowering legacy wind assets, and positioned more than two gigawatts of additional projects to begin construction in 2026—supporting grid reliability while reinforcing America’s path to energy abundance.

Our diverse fleet—spanning wind, solar, energy storage, and flexible natural gas—helps ensure reliability during periods of peak demand while lowering emissions. Nearly one-third of our 29-gigawatt development pipeline is now in late-stage development, and years of disciplined planning have enabled us to safe harbor projects to preserve tax credit value for customers well into the next decade.

As energy systems evolve, how we operate matters just as much as what we build. Clean energy can be transformative, but it must also be responsible. Across the country, Clearway’s teams deepened partnerships with local communities, contributed nearly $1.4 million to schools, food banks, emergency services, and nonprofits, and volunteered their time where needs were greatest. These efforts reflect our belief that strong communities are essential to lasting impact.

Sustainability, at its core, is stewardship—of land, resources, and relationships. By reshoring supply chains, supporting domestic manufacturing, and investing in American workers, we are helping strengthen local economies while advancing national energy goals. The result is shared, long-term value for customers, communities, and stakeholders alike.

As we look ahead, the opportunity before us is enormous. The challenges are real, but so is our resolve. With determined optimism, disciplined execution, and a deep sense of responsibility, Clearway will continue powering America’s future—cleanly, reliably, and together.
