Flexible Generation: Supporting the Integration of Renewables

In 2025, the Clearway enterprise owned 2.6 GW of natural gas generation, including 2.4 GW of efficient, quick-start natural gas peaker plants in California. These plants are capable of dynamically adjusting their output during peak load conditions, maintaining the delicate balance between electrical supply and demand.

98% of the electricity generated by the Clearway enterprise was carbon-free,¹ achieving our 2035 goal and placing Clearway among the leaders in the US power sector for low carbon intensity. For the same year, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions from our flexible assets were 0.185 million and 0.004 million tonnes, respectively.
