CLEARWAY ENERGY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Nature of Business

Clearway Energy, Inc., together with its consolidated subsidiaries, or the Company, is a publicly-traded energy infrastructure investor in and owner of modern, sustainable and long-term contracted assets across North America. The Company is sponsored by GIP III Zephyr Acquisition Partners, L.P. through its portfolio company, CEG. GIP is an independent fund manager that invests in infrastructure assets in energy and transport sectors.

The Company’s environmentally-sound asset portfolio includes over 5,991 MW of wind, solar and natural gas-fired power generation facilities. Through this diversified and contracted portfolio, the Company endeavors to provide its investors with stable and growing dividend income. Nearly all of these assets sell substantially all of their output pursuant to long-term offtake agreements with creditworthy counterparties. The weighted average remaining contract duration of these offtake agreements was approximately 13 years as of June 30, 2020 based on CAFD. The Company also owns thermal infrastructure assets with an aggregate steam and chilled water capacity of 1,453 net MWt and electric generation capacity of 36 net MW. These thermal infrastructure assets provide steam, hot and/or chilled water, and, in some instances, electricity to commercial businesses, universities, hospitals and governmental units in multiple locations, principally through long-term contracts or pursuant to rates regulated by state utility commissions.

The Company consolidates the results of Clearway Energy LLC through its controlling interest, with CEG's interest shown as noncontrolling interest in the financial statements. The holders of the Company's outstanding shares of Class A and Class C common stock are entitled to dividends as declared. CEG receives its distributions from Clearway Energy LLC through its ownership of Clearway Energy LLC Class B and Class D units.

As a result of the Class C common stock issuance under the ATM Program during the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company owns 57.41% of the economic interests of Clearway Energy LLC, with CEG retaining 42.59% of the economic interests of Clearway Energy LLC as of June 30, 2020. For further discussion, see Note 9, Changes in Capital Structure.

The following table represents the structure of the Company as of June 30, 2020:

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the SEC’s regulations for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The following notes should be read in conjunction with the accounting policies and other disclosures as set forth in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2019 Form 10-K. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year.

In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements contain all material adjustments consisting of normal and recurring accruals necessary to present fairly the Company's consolidated financial position as of June 30, 2020, and the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss) and cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019.

PG&E Bankruptcy Update

During 2019, PG&E, one of the Company's largest customers, filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, or the Bankruptcy Court. On January 31, 2020, PG&E filed with the Bankruptcy Court a Chapter 11 plan of reorganization, as amended, or the PG&E Plan. On June 20, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the PG&E Plan, which provided for PG&E to assume all of its PPAs with the Company. On July 1, 2020, PG&E emerged from bankruptcy and assumed the Company's contracts without modification. In addition, PG&E paid to the Company's applicable projects the portion of the invoices corresponding to the electricity delivered for the period between January 1 and January 28, 2019. These invoices related to the pre-petition period services and any payment therefore required the approval by the Bankruptcy Court. A description of changes to the financial statements resulting from PG&E's emergence from bankruptcy is noted below in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Note 5, Fair Value of Financial Instruments and Note 7, Long-term Debt.

Note 2 — Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions impact the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the consolidated financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could be different from these estimates.

Cash and Cash Equivalents, and Restricted Cash

Cash and cash equivalents include highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at the time of purchase. Cash and cash equivalents held at project subsidiaries was $116 million and $125 million as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. After PG&E emerged from bankruptcy on July 1, 2020, $50 million of cash distributions were paid out of distribution reserve accounts at subsidiaries affected by the PG&E Bankruptcy to Clearway Energy Operating LLC as of July 31, 2020.

The following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the consolidated balance sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the statements of cash flows:


	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
	(In millions)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	175	$	155
Restricted cash	241		262
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows	$	416	$	417

Restricted cash consists primarily of funds held to satisfy the requirements of certain debt agreements and funds held within the Company's projects that are restricted in their use. As of June 30, 2020, these restricted funds were comprised of $80 million designated to fund operating expenses, approximately $20 million designated for current debt service payments, and $56 million restricted for reserves including debt service, performance obligations and other reserves, as well as capital expenditures. The remaining $85 million is held in distributions reserve accounts. As of June 30, 2020, $14 million of cash that was restricted pending the outcome of the PG&E Bankruptcy was reclassified into cash and cash equivalents.

Revenue Recognition

Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company applies the guidance in ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, or Topic 606, when recognizing revenue associated with its contracts with customers. The Company's policies with respect to its various revenue streams are detailed below. In general, the Company applies the invoicing practical expedient to recognize revenue for the revenue streams detailed below, except in circumstances where the invoiced amount does not represent the value transferred to the customer.

Thermal Revenues

Steam and chilled water revenue is recognized as the Company transfers the product to the customer, based on customer usage as determined by meter readings taken at month-end. Some locations read customer meters throughout the month and recognize estimated revenue for the period between meter read date and month-end. For thermal contracts, the Company’s performance obligation to deliver steam and chilled water is satisfied over time and revenue is recognized based on the invoiced amount. The Thermal Business subsidiaries collect, and remit state and local taxes associated with sales to their customers, as required by governmental authorities. These taxes are presented on a net basis in the income statement.

As contracts for steam and chilled water are long-term contracts, the Company has performance obligations under these contracts that have not yet been satisfied. These performance obligations have transaction prices that are both fixed and variable, and which vary based on the contract duration, customer type, inception date and other contract-specific factors. For the fixed price contracts, the Company cannot accurately estimate the amount of its unsatisfied performance obligations as it will vary based on customer usage, which will depend on factors such as weather and customer activity.

Power Purchase Agreements

The majority of the Company’s revenues are obtained through PPAs or other contractual agreements. Energy, capacity and where applicable, renewable attributes, from the majority of the Company’s renewable energy assets and certain conventional energy plants is sold through long-term PPAs and tolling agreements to a single counterparty, which is often a utility or commercial customer. The majority of these PPAs are accounted for as leases. Previously ASC 840, and currently ASC 842, requires the minimum lease payments received to be amortized over the term of the lease and contingent rentals are recorded when the achievement of the contingency becomes probable. Management's judgment is required in determining the economic life of each generating facility, in evaluating whether certain lease provisions constitute minimum payments or represent contingent rent and other factors in determining whether a contract contains a lease and whether the lease is an operating lease or capital lease.

Renewable Energy Credits

Renewable energy credits, or RECs, are usually sold through long-term PPAs. Revenue from the sale of self-generated RECs is recognized when the related energy is generated and simultaneously delivered even in cases where there is a certification lag as it has been deemed to be perfunctory.

In a bundled contract to sell energy, capacity and/or self-generated RECs, all performance obligations are deemed to be delivered at the same time and hence, timing of recognition of revenue for all performance obligations is the same and occurs over time. In such cases, it is often unnecessary to allocate transaction price to multiple performance obligations.

Disaggregated Revenues

The following tables represent the Company’s disaggregation of revenue from contracts with customers along with the reportable segment for each category for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 respectively:

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Adopted in 2020

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-4, Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments provide for optional expedients and exceptions for applying GAAP to contracts, hedging relationships and other transactions affected by reference rate reform if certain criteria is met. These amendments apply only to contracts that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. The guidance is effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. The Company intends to apply the amendments to all its eligible contract modifications where applicable.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes. The amendments also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance. The guidance is effective January 1, 2021, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the effect of the new guidance to be material on its consolidated financial statements.

The discussion below describes material changes to VIEs during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

DGPV Holdco 3 LLC

DGPV Holdco 3 owns approximately 113 MW of distributed solar capacity, based on cash to be distributed, with a weighted average remaining contract life of approximately 21 years as of June 30, 2020. On May 29, 2020, the final construction projects for DGPV Holdco 3 were placed in service which resulted in a reconsideration event for consolidation of the entity. Upon the reconsideration event, the Company determined that it was the primary beneficiary of DGPV Holdco 3, as it is entitled to 99% of allocations of income and cash distributions from the entity. As such, effective on May 29, 2020, the Company consolidates DGPV Holdco 3, and shows the interest owned by CEG as noncontrolling interest. DGPV Holdco 3 owns an interest in two tax equity funds with tax equity investors, both of which are consolidated by DGPV Holdco 3, and the interests owned by the tax equity investors are shown as noncontrolling interests. The Company removed its investment in DGPV Holdco 3 of $155 million as of May 29, 2020 and recorded the difference between the net assets consolidated and the investment balance as a reduction to noncontrolling interests.

The following table shows the balances that were consolidated effective on May 29, 2020:


(In millions)	May 29, 2020
Current assets	$	32
Property, plant and equipment	330
Intangible assets	1
Other non-current assets	37
Total assets	$	400
Debt	206
Other current and non-current liabilities	84
Total liabilities	$	290
Noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests	6
Net assets less noncontrolling interests	$	104

Prior to the reconsideration event described above, the Company invested $10 million of cash in DGPV Holdco 3 during the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Repowering Partnership II LLC

On May 11, 2020, the Company acquired CEG's interest in Repowering Partnership II LLC, for cash consideration of $70 million. Repowering Partnership II LLC is no longer a VIE and subsequent to the acquisition, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Repowering Partnership II LLC continues to own interests in two VIEs, Wildorado Repowering Tax Equity Holdco LLC, or Wildorado TE Holdco, and Elbow Creek Repowering Tax Equity Holdco LLC, or Elbow Creek TE Holdco. The Company removed the related noncontrolling interest balance of $8 million and recorded the difference between the cash paid and the noncontrolling interest balance removed as a reduction to noncontrolling interests.

On February 7, 2020, a third party tax equity investor purchased 100% of the Class A membership interests in Wildorado TE Holdco, for $148 million. In addition, the Company contributed $112 million to Wildorado TE Holdco. The combined proceeds were used to repay construction debt under the Repowering Partnership Holdco credit agreement, as described in Note 7, Long-term Debt. The third party tax equity investor, or Wildorado Investor, will receive 99% of allocations of taxable income and other items until the Wildorado Investor obtains a specified return on its initial investment, or the last day of the PTC period, whichever occurs sooner. At such time, the allocations to the Wildorado Investor will change to 5%. Until such time, the Wildorado Investor will receive a variable percentage of cash distributions. Wildorado TE Holdco is a VIE and the Repowering Partnership II LLC is the primary beneficiary through its position as managing member. As a result, the Company consolidates Wildorado TE Holdco, with the Wildorado Investor's interest shown as noncontrolling interest. In connection with the Wildorado TE Holdco closing, the allocations of income at Repowering Partnership II LLC changed to 60.14% for Wind TE Holdco LLC (the Company member) and 39.86% for CWSP Wildorado Elbow Holding LLC (the CEG member). As noted above, CEG no longer has an interest in Repowering Partnership II LLC as of June 30, 2020.

The Company utilizes the HLBV method to determine the net income or loss allocated to tax equity noncontrolling interest. The Company recorded a loss of $8 million and $36 million attributable to the noncontrolling interest of Wildorado TE Holdco for the three and six months ending June 30, 2020 and recorded a loss of $6 million and $8 million attributable to the noncontrolling interest of Elbow Creek TE Holdco for the three and six months ending June 30, 2020, respectively.

Entities that are not Consolidated

The Company has interests in entities that are considered VIEs under ASC 810, but for which it is not considered the primary beneficiary. The Company accounts for its interests in these entities under the equity method of accounting, as further described in Note 5, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2019 Form 10-K.

The Company's maximum exposure to loss as of June 30, 2020 is limited to its equity investment in the unconsolidated entities, as further summarized in the table below:


Name	Economic Interest	Investment Balance
		(In millions)
Utah Solar Portfolio ^(a)	50%	$	276

Note 5 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Fair Value Accounting under ASC 820

ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs to valuation techniques used to measure fair value into three levels as follows:

•Level 1—quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access as of the measurement date.

•Level 2—inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are directly observable for the asset or liability or indirectly observable through corroboration with observable market data.

•Level 3—unobservable inputs for the asset or liability only used when there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date.

In accordance with ASC 820, the Company determines the level in the fair value hierarchy within which each fair value measurement in its entirety falls, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

For cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts receivable - affiliate, accounts payable, accounts payable - affiliate, accrued expenses and other liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value because of the short-term maturity of those instruments and are classified as Level 1 within the fair value hierarchy.

The estimated carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s recorded financial instruments not carried at fair market value are as follows:


	As of June 30, 2020						As of December 31, 2019
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
(In millions)




Long-term debt, including current portion^(a)	$	6,813	$	6,917	$	6,858	$	6,957

^(a) Excludes net debt issuance costs, which are recorded as a reduction to long-term debt on the Company's consolidated balance sheets.

The fair value of the Company's publicly-traded long-term debt is based on quoted market prices and is classified as Level 2 within the fair value hierarchy. The fair value of non-publicly traded long-term debt of the Company are based on expected future cash flows discounted at market interest rates, or current interest rates for similar instruments with equivalent credit quality and are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The following table presents the level within the fair value hierarchy for long-term debt, including current portion as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:


	As of June 30, 2020						As of December 31, 2019

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company records its derivative assets and liabilities at fair value on its consolidated balance sheet. The following table presents assets and liabilities measured and recorded at fair value on the Company's consolidated balance sheets on a recurring basis and their level within the fair value hierarchy:

Derivative Fair Value Measurements

The Company's contracts are non-exchange-traded and valued using prices provided by external sources. For some of the Company’s energy contracts, management receives quotes from multiple sources. To the extent that multiple quotes are received, the prices reflect the average of the bid-ask mid-point prices obtained from all sources believed to provide the most liquid market for the commodity. The remainder of the assets and liabilities represent contracts for which external sources or observable market quotes are not available. These contracts are valued based on various valuation techniques including, but not limited to, internal models based on a fundamental analysis of the market and extrapolation of the observable market data with similar characteristics. As of June 30, 2020, contracts valued with prices provided by models and other valuation techniques make up 7% of derivative liabilities.

The Company’s significant position classified as Level 3 includes physical power executed in illiquid markets. The significant unobservable inputs used in developing fair value include illiquid power tenors and location pricing, which is derived by extrapolating pricing and as a basis to liquid locations. The tenor pricing and basis spread are based on observable market data when available or derived from historic prices and forward market prices from similar observable markets when not available.

The following tables quantify the significant unobservable inputs used in developing the fair value of the Company's Level 3 positions as of June 30, 2020:

Forward Market Price Power	Sell	Increase/(Decrease)	Lower/(Higher)

The fair value of each contract is discounted using a risk-free interest rate. In addition, a credit reserve is applied to reflect credit risk, which is, for interest rate swaps, calculated based on credit default swaps using the bilateral method. For commodities, to the extent that the net exposure under a specific master agreement is an asset, the Company uses the counterparty’s default swap rate. If the net exposure under a specific master agreement is a liability, the Company uses a proxy of its own default swap rate. For interest rate swaps and commodities, the credit reserve is added to the discounted fair value to reflect the exit price that a market participant would be willing to receive to assume the liabilities or that a market participant would be willing to pay for the assets. As of June 30, 2020, the non-performance reserve was a $13 million gain recorded primarily in interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. It is possible that future market prices could vary from those used in recording assets and liabilities and such variations could be material.

Concentration of Credit Risk

In addition to the credit risk discussion in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2019 Form 10-K, the following is a discussion of the concentration of credit risk for the Company's financial instruments. Credit risk relates to the risk of loss resulting from non-performance or non-payment by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. The Company monitors and manages credit risk through credit policies that include: (i) an established credit approval process; (ii) monitoring of counterparties' credit limits; (iii) the use of credit mitigation measures such as margin, collateral, prepayment arrangements, or volumetric limits; (iv) the use of payment netting agreements; and (v) the use of master netting agreements that allow for the netting of positive and negative exposures of various contracts associated with a single counterparty. Risks surrounding counterparty performance and credit could ultimately impact the amount and timing of expected cash flows. The Company seeks to mitigate counterparty risk by having a diversified portfolio of counterparties.

Counterparty credit exposure includes credit risk exposure under certain long-term agreements, including solar and other PPAs. As external sources or observable market quotes are not available to estimate such exposure, the Company estimates the exposure related to these contracts based on various techniques including, but not limited to, internal models based on a fundamental analysis of the market and extrapolation of observable market data with similar characteristics. The majority of these power contracts are with utilities with strong credit quality and public utility commission or other regulatory support. However, such regulated utility counterparties can be impacted by changes in government regulations or adverse financial conditions, which the Company is unable to predict.

On January 31, 2019, PG&E filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. On June 20, 2020, the Bankruptcy Court confirmed the PG&E Plan, which provided for PG&E to assume all of its PPAs with the Company. On July 1, 2020, PG&E emerged from bankruptcy. The Company had $5 million in accounts receivable due from PG&E for its consolidated projects that was previously recorded to non-current assets, and reclassified to current assets as of June 30, 2020, all of which was received in July of 2020.

Note 6 — Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

This footnote should be read in conjunction with the complete description under Note 7, Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, to the consolidated financial statements included in the Company's 2019 Form 10-K.

Interest Rate Swaps

The Company enters into interest rate swap agreements in order to hedge the variability of expected future cash interest payments. As of June 30, 2020, the Company had interest rate derivative instruments on non-recourse debt extending through 2043, a portion of which were designated as cash flow hedges. Under the interest rate swap agreements, the Company pays a fixed rate and the counterparties to the agreements pay a variable interest rate.

Energy-Related Commodities

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had energy-related derivative instruments extending through 2029. At June 30, 2020, these contracts were not designated as cash flow or fair value hedges.

The discussion below describes material changes to or additions of long-term debt for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

Clearway Energy LLC and Clearway Energy Operating LLC Revolving Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2020, the Company had no outstanding borrowings under the revolving credit facility and $56 million in letters of credit outstanding. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company borrowed $265 million under the revolving credit facility, and subsequently repaid $265 million utilizing the proceeds from the issuance of additional 2028 Senior Notes, as described below, and cash on hand.

2028 Senior Notes

On May 21, 2020, the Company completed the issuance of an additional $250 million in aggregate principal amount of its 4.750% Senior Notes due 2028. The 2028 Senior Notes bear interest at 4.75% and mature on March 15, 2028. Interest on the 2028 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and interest payments will commence on September 15, 2020. The 2028 Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of Clearway Energy Operating, LLC and are guaranteed by Clearway Energy, LLC and by certain of Clearway Energy Operating LLC’s wholly owned current and future subsidiaries. The notes were issued at a price of 102% of par plus accrued interest from December 11, 2019. The net proceeds were utilized to repay the $45 million outstanding principal amount of the Company's 2020 Convertible Notes on June 1, 2020, as well as to repay amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

2024 Senior Notes Redemption

On January 3, 2020, the Company redeemed the $88 million aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Senior Notes that remained outstanding following the Company's tender offer for the 2024 Senior Notes in December 2019. The redemption was effectuated at a premium of 102.7% for a total consideration of $90 million and as a result, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment in the amount of $3 million, which also included the write off of previously deferred financing fees related to the 2024 Senior Notes.

Project - level Debt

PG&E Bankruptcy

As of June 30, 2020, distributions from all PG&E affected projects to Clearway Energy Operating LLC were prohibited under the related debt agreements. On July 1, 2020, PG&E emerged from bankruptcy and assumed the Company's contracts without modification. In addition, PG&E paid to the Company's applicable projects the portion of the invoices corresponding to the electricity delivered between January 1 and January 28, 2019. These invoices related to the pre-petition period services and any payment therefore required the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company has reclassified the related debt to non-current based on its original maturity as of June 30, 2020.

Repowering Partnership Holdco LLC, due 2020

In February 2020, the Company repaid $260 million of construction debt outstanding under the construction loan facility. The repayment was effectuated with the proceeds from the tax equity contributions for Wildorado TE Holdco, as further descried in Note 4, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities as well as with the contributions by the Company.

Consolidation of DGPV Holdco 3

Upon consolidation of DGPV Holdco 3, as described in Note 4, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities, the Company consolidates additional non-recourse debt for certain subsidiaries as further described below.

Renew CS4 Borrower LLC, or CS4 Borrower, a consolidated subsidiary of DGPV Holdco 3, is party to a credit agreement for construction loans up to $97.4 million, an investment tax credit bridge loan, or ITC bridge loan, for up to $89.9 million and letter of credit facilities up to $4.9 million. The construction loan and the ITC bridge loan both have an interest rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 2.00% per annum. As of June 30, 2020, all construction loans were converted to term loans and the ITC bridge loans were repaid in connection with tax equity funding. The term loan bears annual interest at a rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which is 2.00% per annum through the third anniversary of the

term conversion, and 2.25% per annum thereafter through the maturity date in June 2026. The borrowings are secured by the membership interests in the project companies.

Chestnut Borrower LLC, a consolidated subsidiary of DGPV Holdco 3, is party to a credit agreement for term loans of up to $120.3 million and letters of credit of up to $7.9 million. The loans bear annual interest at a rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin, which is 2.50% per annum through the fifth anniversary of the financial closing date, or July 2022, and 2.75% per annum thereafter through the maturity date in April 2024. The borrowings are secured by the membership interests in the project companies.

Note 8 — Earnings Per Share

Basic earnings per common share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Shares issued during the year are weighted for the portion of the year that they were outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is computed in a manner consistent with that of basic earnings per share while giving effect to all potentially dilutive common shares that were outstanding during the period.

The reconciliation of Clearway Energy, Inc.'s basic and diluted earnings per share is shown in the following tables:


	Three months ended June 30,

Note 11 — Income Taxes

Effective Tax Rate

The income tax provision consisted of the following:


	Three months ended June 30,									Six months ended June 30,
	2020			2019			2020			2019
	(In millions, except percentages)
Income (loss) before income tax benefit	$	102		$	(32)		$	(27)		$	(86)
Income tax expense (benefit)	26			4			4			(3)
Effective income tax rate	25.5		%	(12.5)		%	(14.8)		%	3.5		%

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019 the overall effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to taxable earnings and losses allocated to partners' interest in Clearway Energy LLC, which includes the effects of applying HLBV method of accounting for book purposes for certain partnerships.

For tax purposes, Clearway Energy LLC is treated as a partnership; therefore, the Company and CEG each record their respective share of taxable income or loss.

On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, or the Act, was signed into law, which includes modifications to the business interest expense disallowance and net operating loss provisions. While the Company expects to utilize previously disallowed interest expense during 2020 as a result of the modifications, the Company does not expect the Act to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to assess the effects of the Act and ongoing government guidance related to COVID-19 that may be issued.

Note 12 — Related Party Transactions

In addition to the transactions and relationships described elsewhere in the notes to the consolidated financial statements, certain subsidiaries of CEG provide services to the Company's project entities. Amounts due to CEG subsidiaries are recorded as accounts payable - affiliate and amounts due to the Company from CEG subsidiaries are recorded as accounts receivable - affiliate in the Company's balance sheet. The disclosures below summarize the Company's material related party transactions with CEG and its subsidiaries that are included in the Company's operating revenues and operating costs.

O&M Services Agreements by and between the Company and Clearway Renewable Operation & Maintenance LLC

Various wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company in the Renewables segment are party to services agreements with Clearway Renewable Operation & Maintenance LLC, or RENOM, a wholly-owned subsidiary of CEG, which provides operation and maintenance, or O&M, to these subsidiaries. The Company incurred total expenses for these services of $9 million and $18 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company incurred total expenses for these services of $7 million and $14 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively. There was a balance of $9 million and $7 million due to RENOM as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Administrative Services Agreements by and between the Company and CEG

Various wholly-owned subsidiaries of the Company are parties to administrative services agreements with Clearway Asset Services and Clearway Solar Asset Management, two wholly-owned subsidiaries of CEG, which provide various administrative services to the Company's subsidiaries. The Company incurred expenses under these agreements of $2 million and $4 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. The Company incurred expenses under these agreements of $1 million and $3 million for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

CEG Master Services Agreements

The Company is a party to Master Services Agreements with CEG, or MSAs, pursuant to which CEG and certain of its affiliates or third party service providers provide certain services to the Company, including operational and administrative services, which include human resources, information systems, external affairs, accounting, procurement and risk management services, and the Company provides certain services to CEG, including accounting, internal audit, tax and treasury services, in exchange for the payment of fees in respect of such services. Amounts due to CEG or its subsidiaries related to these MSAs are recorded as accounts payable - affiliate and amounts due to the Company from CEG and subsidiaries are recorded as accounts receivable - affiliate on the Company's consolidated balance sheet.

Note 13 — Contingencies

This note should be read in conjunction with the complete description under Note 17, Commitments and Contingencies, to the Company's 2019 Form 10-K.

Contingencies

The Company's material legal proceedings are described below. The Company believes that it has valid defenses to these legal proceedings and intends to defend them vigorously. The Company records reserves for estimated losses from contingencies when information available indicates that a loss is probable and the amount of the loss, or range of loss, can be reasonably estimated. As applicable, the Company has established an adequate reserve for the matters discussed below. In addition, legal costs are expensed as incurred. Management assesses such matters based on current information and makes a judgment concerning its potential outcome, considering the nature of the claim, the amount and nature of damages sought, and the probability of success. The Company is unable to predict the outcome of the legal proceedings below or reasonably estimate the scope or amount of any associated costs and potential liabilities. As additional information becomes available, management adjusts its assessment and estimates of such contingencies accordingly. Because litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties and unfavorable rulings or developments, it is possible that the ultimate resolution of the Company's liabilities and contingencies could be at amounts that are different from its currently recorded reserves and that such difference could be material.

In addition to the legal proceedings noted below, the Company and its subsidiaries are party to other litigation or legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. In management's opinion, the disposition of these ordinary course matters will not materially adversely affect the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

Nebraska Public Power District Litigation

On January 11, 2019, Nebraska Public Power District, or NPPD, sent written notice to certain of the Company’s subsidiaries which own the Laredo Ridge and Elkhorn Ridge wind projects alleging an event of default under each of the PPAs between NPPD and the projects. NPPD alleges that the Company moved forward with certain transactions without obtaining the consent of NPPD. NPPD threatened to terminate the applicable PPAs by February 11, 2019 if the alleged default was not cured. The Company filed a motion for a temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction in the U.S. District Court for the District of Nebraska relating to the Laredo Ridge project, and a similar motion in the District Court of Knox County, Nebraska for the Elkhorn Ridge project, to enjoin NPPD from taking any actions related to the PPAs. On February 19, 2019, the U.S. District Court in the Laredo Ridge matter approved a stipulation between the parties to provide for an injunction preventing NPPD from terminating the PPA pending disposition of the litigation. On February 26, 2019, the Knox County District Court approved a similar stipulation relating to the Elkhorn Ridge project. On April 13, 2020, the U.S. District Court granted the wind projects' motion for summary judgment and permanently enjoined NPPD from terminating the PPAs in reliance on the alleged events of default. The U.S. District Court decision was appealed by NPPD on May 11, 2020 and the case in the Knox County District Court remains pending, but has been stayed pending the outcome of the U.S. District Court case. The Company believes the allegations of NPPD are meritless and the Company is vigorously defending its rights under the PPAs.

Buckthorn Solar Litigation

On October 8, 2019, the City of Georgetown, Texas, or Georgetown, filed a petition in the District Court of Williamson County, Texas naming Buckthorn Westex, LLC, the Company’s subsidiary that owns the Buckthorn Westex solar project, as the defendant, alleging fraud by nondisclosure and breach of contract in connection with the project and the PPA, and seeking (i) rescission and/or cancellation of the PPA, (ii) declaratory judgment that the alleged breaches constitute an event of default under the PPA entitling Georgetown to terminate, and (iii) recovery of all damages, costs of court, and attorneys’ fees. On November 15, 2019, Buckthorn Westex filed an original answer and counterclaims (i) denying Georgetown’s claims, (ii) alleging Georgetown has breached its contracts with Buckthorn Westex by failing to pay amounts due, and (iii) seeking relief in the form of (x) declaratory judgment that Georgetown’s alleged failure to pay amounts due constitute breaches of and an event of default under the PPA and that Buckthorn did not commit any events of default under the PPA, (y) recovery of costs, expenses, interest, and attorneys’ fees, and (z) such other relief to which it is entitled at law or in equity. Buckthorn Westex believes the allegations of Georgetown are meritless, and Buckthorn Westex is vigorously defending its rights under the PPA.

Note 14 — Leases

Accounting for Leases

The Company evaluates each arrangement at inception to determine if it contains a lease. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases as of June 30, 2020.

Lessee

The Company records its operating lease liabilities at the present value at lease commencement date of the lease payments over the lease term. Lease payments include fixed payment amounts, as well as variable rate payments based on an index initially measured at lease commencement date. Variable payments, including payments based on future performance and based on index changes, are recorded as the expense is incurred. The Company determines the relevant lease term by evaluating whether renewal and termination options are reasonably to certain to be exercised. The Company uses its incremental borrowing rate to calculate the present value of the lease payments, based on information available at the lease commencement date.

The Company’s leases consist of land leases for numerous operating asset locations, real estate leases and equipment leases. The terms and conditions for these leases vary by the type of underlying asset.

Lease expense was comprised of the following:



	Three months ended June 30, 2020		Three months ended June 30, 2019		Six months ended June 30, 2020		Six months ended June 30, 2019

Oahu Solar Lease Agreements

The Oahu Solar projects are party to various land lease agreements with a wholly owned subsidiary of CEG. The projects are leasing the land for a period of 35 years, with the ability to renew the lease for two additional five year periods. The Company has a lease liability of $20 million and $21 million as of December 31, 2019 and a corresponding right-of-use asset of $18 million and $19 million related to leases as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

Lessor

The majority of the Company’s revenue is obtained through PPAs or other contractual agreements that are accounted for as leases. These leases are comprised of both fixed payments and variable payments contingent upon volumes or performance metrics. The terms of the leases are further described in Item 2 — MD&A, Introduction, Environmental, Regulatory of this Form 10-Q. Many of the leases have renewal options at the end of the lease term. Termination may be allowed under specific circumstances in the lease arrangements, such as under an event of default. All of the Company’s leases are operating leases. Certain of these leases have both lease and non-lease components, and the Company allocates the transaction price to the components based on standalone selling prices. As disclosed in Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, the following amounts of energy and capacity revenue are related to the Company’s leases:

Note 15 — Asset Impairments

During the three and six months and ended June 30, 2019, the Company recorded an impairment loss of $19 million related to a facility in the Thermal segment. The fair value of the facility was determined using an income approach by applying a discounted cash flow methodology to the long-term budgets for each respective plant. The income approach utilized estimates of discounted future cash flows, which were Level 3 fair value measurement and include key inputs, such as forecasted power prices, operations and maintenance expense, and discount rates. The Company measured the impairment loss as the difference between the carrying amount and the fair value of the assets.

Significant Events

Pacific Gas and Electric Company Bankruptcy Update

•During 2019, PG&E, one of the Company's largest customers, filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code in the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of California, or the Bankruptcy Court. The PG&E Bankruptcy triggered defaults under the PPAs with PG&E and such related financing agreements. As a result, the Company had previously recorded approximately $1.19 billion of principal, net of the related unamortized debt issuance costs, as short-term debt. On July 1, 2020, PG&E emerged from bankruptcy and assumed the Company's contracts without modification. In addition, PG&E paid to the Company's applicable projects the portion of the invoices corresponding to the electricity delivered between January 1 and January 28, 2019. These invoices related to the pre-petition period services and any payment therefore required the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. The Company has reclassified the related debt to non-current based on its original maturity as of June 30, 2020.

Financing Activities

•On May 21, 2020, Clearway Energy Operating LLC completed the sale of an additional $250 million aggregate principal amount of the 2028 Senior Notes. The 2028 Senior Notes bear interest at 4.75% and mature on March 15, 2028. Interest on the 2028 Senior Notes is payable semi-annually on March 15 and September 15 of each year, and interest payments will commence on September 15, 2020. The 2028 Senior Notes are unsecured obligations of Clearway Energy Operating LLC and are guaranteed by Clearway Energy LLC and by certain of Clearway Energy Operating LLC's wholly owned current and future subsidiaries. The proceeds from the additional 2028 Senior Notes were used to repay the $45 million outstanding principal amount of the Company's 2020 Convertible Notes on June 1, 2020, as well as to fund the repayment of outstanding borrowings under the Company's revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

Drop Down Transactions

•On August 3, 2020, the Company entered into an agreement with CEG to acquire an interest in Mesquite Star Pledgor LLC, which owns the Mesquite Star wind project, a 419 MW utility scale wind project located in Fisher County, Texas for approximately $79 million. The acquisition is expected to close during the third quarter of 2020 and will be funded with existing liquidity.

•On August 3, 2020, CEG offered the Company the opportunity to purchase (i) residual interests in the Kawailoa and Oahu Solar Partnerships and (ii) 100% of its interests in Langford Holding, LLC, which owns the Langford wind project. The transaction is subject to negotiation and approval by the Company's Independent Directors.

•On April 17, 2020, the Company entered into binding agreements related to the previously announced drop-down offer from CEG to enable the Company to acquire and invest in a portfolio of renewable energy projects. The following projects are included in the drop-down: (i) 100% of the equity interests in Rattlesnake Flat, LLC, which owns the Rattlesnake Wind Project, a 144 net MW wind facility located in Adams County, WA; (ii) CEG's interest in Repowering Partnership II LLC (Repowering 1.0), which the Company acquired on May 11, 2020; and (iii) a new partnership with CEG to repower the Pinnacle Wind Project, a 55 net MW wind facility located in Mineral County, WV. The Company expects to invest approximately $241 million in corporate capital subject to closing adjustments for the above mentioned transactions. Closing is subject to the timing of projects achieving commercial operations. The investment at commercial operations excludes, subject to closing adjustments, an additional $27 million payment in 2031 at the Pinnacle Wind Repowering Partnership.

•On May 11, 2020, the Company acquired CEG's interest in Repowering Partnership II LLC for cash consideration of $70 million. Repowering Partnership II LLC is no longer a VIE and subsequent to the acquisition, is a wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Sale of Interest in RPV Holdco 1

•On May 14, 2020, the Company sold its interests in RPV Holdco 1 LLC, or RPV Holdco, to a third party for net proceeds of approximately $75 million. The Company previously accounted for its interest in RPV Holdco as an equity method investment. The sale of the investment resulted in a gain of approximately $49 million.

Consolidation of DGPV Holdco 3

•On May 29, 2020, the final construction projects owned by DGPV Holdco 3 were placed in service which resulted in a reconsideration event. The Company determined that it will consolidate DGPV Holdco 3 effective on May 29, 2020 and show the interest owned by CEG as noncontrolling interest as of that date. This resulted in the consolidation of assets of $400 million and liabilities of $290 million as of May 29, 2020. The impact to the results of operations for the period from May 30, 2020 to June 30, 2020 was not material.

Black Start Services at Marsh Landing

•As of July 2020, all necessary regulatory approvals were obtained with respect to the Company's Marsh Landing project to provide black start capability in the greater San Francisco Bay area, which would restart Marsh Landing in the event of a blackout, under a five-year contract with the California Independent System Operator to support their emergency restoration of the electrical grid. The project has commenced construction and is expected to achieve commercial operations in 2021.

Environmental Matters

The Company is subject to a wide range of environmental laws during the development, construction, ownership and operation of facilities. These existing and future laws generally require that governmental permits and approvals be obtained before construction and maintained during operation of facilities. The Company is obligated to comply with all environmental laws and regulations applicable within each jurisdiction and required to implement environmental programs and procedures to monitor and control risks associated with the construction, operation and decommissioning of regulated or permitted energy assets. Federal and state environmental laws have historically become more stringent over time, although this trend could change in the future.

A number of regulations that may affect the Company are under review, including the publishing of the Affordable Clean Energy (ACE) rule, state solar photovoltaic module (solar panel) disposal and recycling regulations, and proposed federal MBTA incidental take legislation and regulations. The Company will evaluate the impact of the legislation and regulations as they are revised but cannot fully predict the impact of each until anticipated revisions and legal challenges are resolved. To the extent the proposed legislation and regulations restrict or otherwise impact the Company's operations, the proposed legislation and regulations could have a negative impact on the Company's financial performance.

Affordable Clean Energy Rule — The attention in recent years on GHG emissions has resulted in federal regulations and state legislative and regulatory action. In 2015, the EPA finalized the Clean Power Plan, or the CPP, which addressed GHG emissions from existing electric utility steam generating units. The CPP was challenged in court and in 2016 the U.S. Supreme Court stayed the CPP. In 2018, the EPA published the proposed ACE rule to replace the CPP. The ACE rule establishes emission guidelines for states to develop plans to address greenhouse gas emissions from existing power plants. The ACE rule also reinforces the states’ broad discretion in establishing and applying emissions standards to new emission sources. The ACE rule is currently being litigated in the D.C. Circuit.

Proposed State Solar Photovoltaic Module Disposal and Recycling Regulations — On October 1, 2015, California enacted SB 489, which authorized California’s Department of Toxic Substances Control to adopt regulations to designate discarded photovoltaic modules, which are classified as hazardous waste, as universal waste subject to universal waste management. On April 19, 2019, the department proposed regulations that would allow discarded photovoltaic modules to be managed as universal waste. Comments on the proposed rule were due by June 10, 2019, but the date was extended to January 8, 2020, as a result of text modifications. The final rule has not yet been published.

Proposed Federal MBTA Incidental Take Legislation and Regulations — On January 15, 2020, the House Natural Resources Committee voted to advance a bill that would reinstate the interpretation that incidental take is prohibited under the MBTA, overriding the recent Trump-administration Solicitor’s Opinion M-37050 that held the MBTA only applies to intentional takings. The bill also develops a general permitting program that covers incidental take of migratory birds. To the extent that electric generation takes migratory birds, it typically is incidental to its operations.

On February 3, 2020, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service published in the Federal Register a notice of proposed rulemaking to solicit public comment on a proposed regulation that would codify Solicitor’s Opinion M-37050 defining the scope of certain prohibitions under the MBTA. The proposed rule would clarify that criminal liability for pursuing, hunting, taking, capturing, or killing or attempting to take, capture or kill migratory birds is limited to actions directed at migratory birds, their nests, or their eggs. The proposed rule would have the effect of clarifying that these prohibitions do not extend to actions that only incidentally take or kill migratory birds as a result of otherwise lawful activities. Comments on the proposed rule were due by March 19, 2020. The final rule has not yet been published. On June 5, 2020, the US Fish and Wildlife Service made available the draft Environmental Impact Statement (DEIS) for the proposed rule to define the scope of the MBTA. A 45-day comment period on the DEIS was opened.

Regulatory Matters

The Company’s regulatory matters are described in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K in Item 1, Business — Regulatory Matters and Item 1A, Risk Factors.

Trends Affecting Results of Operations and Future Business Performance

The Company’s trends are described in the Company’s 2019 Form 10-K in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Trends Affecting Results of Operations and Future Business Performance.

Recent Developments Affecting Industry Conditions and the Company’s Business

In response to the ongoing coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Company has implemented preventative measures and developed corporate and regional response plans to protect the health and safety of its employees, customers and other business counterparties, while supporting the Company’s suppliers and customers’ operations to the best of its ability in the circumstances. The Company also has modified certain business practices (including discontinuing all non-essential business travel, implementing a temporary work-from-home policy for employees who can execute their work remotely and encouraging employees to adhere to local and regional social distancing, more stringent hygiene and cleaning protocols across the Company’s facilities and operations and self-quarantining recommendations) to support efforts to reduce the spread of COVID-19 and to conform to government restrictions and best practices encouraged by governmental and regulatory authorities. The Company continues to evaluate these measures, response plans and business practices in light of the evolving effects of COVID-19.

There is considerable uncertainty regarding the extent to which COVID-19 will continue to spread and the extent and duration of governmental and other measures implemented to try to slow the spread of the virus, such as large-scale travel bans and restrictions, border closures, quarantines, shelter-in-place orders and business and government shutdowns. Restrictions of this nature may cause the Company, its suppliers and other business counterparties to experience operational delays and delays in the delivery of materials and supplies and may cause milestones or deadlines relating to various projects to be missed.

As of the date of this report, the Company has not experienced any material financial or operational impacts related to COVID-19. All of the Company’s facilities have remained operational. The Company believes that all of its accounts receivable balances as of June 30, 2020 are collectible. The Company will continue to assess collectability based on any future developments.

The Company cannot predict the full impact that COVID-19 will have on the Company’s financial expectations, its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows, its ability to make distributions to its stockholders, the market prices of its common stock and its ability to satisfy its debt service obligations at this time, due to numerous uncertainties. The ultimate impacts will depend on future developments, including, among others, the ultimate geographic spread of the virus, the consequences of governmental and other measures designed to prevent the spread of the virus, the development of effective treatments, the duration of the outbreak, actions taken by governmental authorities, customers, suppliers and other third parties, workforce availability and the timing and extent to which normal economic and operating conditions resume. For additional discussion regarding risks associated with the COVID-19 pandemic, see Part II, Item 1A Risk Factors of the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2020.

Management’s Discussion of the Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended June 30, 2020 and 2019

Gross Margin

The Company calculates gross margin in order to evaluate operating performance as operating revenues less cost of sales, which includes cost of fuel, contract and emission credit amortization and mark-to-market for economic hedging activities.

Economic Gross Margin

In addition to gross margin, the Company evaluates its operating performance using the measure of economic gross margin, which is not a GAAP measure and may not be comparable to other companies’ presentations or deemed more useful than the GAAP information provided elsewhere in this report. Economic gross margin should be viewed as a supplement to and not a substitute for the Company's presentation of gross margin, which is the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Economic gross margin is not intended to represent gross margin. The Company believes that economic gross margin is useful to investors as it is a key operational measure reviewed by the Company's chief operating decision maker. Economic gross margin is defined as energy and capacity revenue less cost of fuels. Economic gross margin excludes the following components from GAAP gross margin: contract amortization, mark-to-market results, emissions credit amortization and (losses) gains on economic hedging activities. Mark-to-market results consist of unrealized gains and losses on contracts that are not yet settled.

The below tables present the composition of gross margin, as well as the reconciliation to economic gross margin, for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019:


(In millions)	Conventional Generation		Renewables		Thermal		Total

		$	47

Operations and Maintenance Expense

Operations and maintenance expense increased by $10 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due to a $7 million increase in the Conventional segment related to the acquisition of the Carlsbad Energy Center in December 2019 and a $3 million increase in the Renewables segment due to increased operations and maintenance expense related to the projects achieving COD in late 2019 and early 2020, including the Oahu and Kawailoa facilities and Elbow Creek and Wildorado repowering.

Depreciation, Amortization and Accretion Expense

Depreciation, amortization and accretion expense increased by $9 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to an $8 million increase in the Conventional segment related to the acquisition of the Carlsbad Energy Center in December 2019.

Impairment Losses

Impairment losses of $19 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, relate to a facility within the Company's Thermal segment, as further described in Note 15, Asset Impairments.

General and Administrative Expense

General and administrative expense increased by $5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily due to an increase in MSA fees charged by CEG, personnel costs and consulting fees.

Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Affiliates

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, primarily driven by changes in the HLBV values for the Utah and DGPV investments.

Gain on Sale of Unconsolidated Affiliate

On May 14, 2020, the Company sold its interests in RPV Holdco 1 LLC, or RPV Holdco, to a third party which resulted in a gain on sale of investment of approximately $49 million. For further discussion on this transaction, see Note 3 - Acquisition and Dispositions.

Interest Expense

Interest expense decreased by $37 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020, compared to the same period in 2019, due to the following:


	(In millions)
Change in fair value of interest rate swaps	$	(23)

Reclassification of losses previously deferred in AOCI to the statement of operations in connection with project-level debt refinancing activities	(23)
Additional interest expense for Carlsbad Energy Center which was acquired on December 5, 2019	9

Income Tax Expense

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $26 million on a pretax income of $102 million. For the same period in 2019, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $4 million on a pretax loss of $32 million.

For the three months ended June 30, 2020 and June 30, 2019, the overall effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to taxable earnings and losses allocated to partners' interests in Clearway Energy LLC, which includes the effects of applying HLBV method of accounting for book purposes for certain partnerships.

Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

For the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had income of $56 million attributable to CEG's economic interest in Clearway Energy LLC, offset in part by losses of $15 million related to CEG's interests in the Repowering partnership through the acquisition date of May 11, 2020, as well as losses of $12 million attributable to noncontrolling interests with respect to its tax equity financing arrangements and the application of the HLBV method.

For the three months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had a loss of $14 million attributable to CEG's economic interest in Clearway Energy LLC, as well as a loss of $4 million attributable to CEG's interests in the Kawailoa, Oahu and Repowering partnerships, partially offset by income of $6 million attributable to noncontrolling interests with respect to its tax equity financing arrangements and the application of the HLBV method.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company recorded an income tax expense of $4 million on a pretax loss of $27 million. For the same period in 2019, the Company recorded an income tax benefit of $3 million on a pretax loss of $86 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the overall effective tax rate was different than the statutory rate of 21% primarily due to the taxable earnings and losses allocated to the partners' interest in Clearway Energy LLC, which includes the effects of applying HLBV method of accounting for book purposes for certain partnerships.

Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had income of $17 million attributable to CEG's economic interest in Clearway Energy LLC offset by losses of $35 million attributable to CEG's interests in the Kawailoa, Oahu and Repowering partnerships and losses of $31 million attributable to noncontrolling interests with respect to its tax equity financing arrangements and the application of the HLBV method.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company had a loss of $35 million attributable to CEG's economic interest in Clearway Energy LLC and a loss of $6 million attributable to CEG's interests in the Kawailoa, Oahu and Repowering partnerships, offset in part by income of $2 million attributable to noncontrolling interests with respect to its tax equity financing arrangements and the application of the HLBV method.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The Company's principal liquidity requirements are to meet its financial commitments, finance current operations, fund capital expenditures, including acquisitions from time to time, service debt and pay dividends. As a normal part of the Company's business, depending on market conditions, the Company will from time to time consider opportunities to repay, redeem, repurchase or refinance its indebtedness. Changes in the Company's operating plans, lower than anticipated sales, increased expenses, acquisitions or other events may cause the Company to seek additional debt or equity financing in future periods. There can be no guarantee that financing will be available on acceptable terms or at all. Debt financing, if available, could impose additional cash payment obligations and additional covenants and operating restrictions.

Current Liquidity Position

As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company's liquidity was approximately $855 million and $842 million, respectively, comprised of cash, restricted cash and availability under the Company's revolving credit facility.

Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	416		417

Total liquidity	$	855	$	842

The Company's liquidity includes $241 million and $262 million of restricted cash balances as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. Restricted cash consists primarily of funds to satisfy the requirements of certain debt arrangements and funds held within the Company's projects that are restricted in their use. As of June 30, 2020, these restricted funds were comprised of $80 million designated to fund operating expenses, approximately $20 million designated for current debt service payments, and $56 million restricted for reserves including debt service, performance obligations and other reserves, as well as capital expenditures. The remaining $85 million is held in distribution reserve accounts. As of June 30, 2020, $14 million of cash that was restricted pending the outcome of the PG&E Bankruptcy was reclassified into cash and cash equivalents.

During 2019, PG&E, one of the Company's largest customers filed for bankruptcy under Chapter 11 of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code. The PG&E Bankruptcy had no effect on availability under the Company’s revolving credit facility. However, the Company has non-recourse project-level debt related to each of its subsidiaries that sell their output to PG&E under long-term PPAs. The PG&E Bankruptcy filing was an event of default under the related financing agreements which caused uncertainty around the timing of when certain project-level cash distributions will be available to the Company. On July 1, 2020, PG&E emerged from bankruptcy and assumed the Company's contracts without modification. Subsequent to July 1, 2020, the Company collected all remaining receivables due from PG&E for pre-petition periods and as of July 31, 2020, $50 million of cash in distribution reserve accounts at subsidiaries affected by the PG&E Bankruptcy was distributed to Clearway Energy Operating LLC.

Management believes that the Company's liquidity position, cash flows from operations, and availability under its revolving credit facility will be adequate to meet the Company's financial commitments; debt service obligations; growth, operating and maintenance capital expenditures; and to fund dividends to holders of the Company's Class A common stock and Class C common stock. Management continues to regularly monitor the Company's ability to finance the needs of its operating, financing and investing activity within the dictates of prudent balance sheet management.

Credit Ratings

Credit rating agencies rate a firm's public debt securities. These ratings are utilized by the debt markets in evaluating a firm's credit risk. Ratings influence the price paid to issue new debt securities by indicating to the market the Company's ability to pay principal, interest and preferred dividends. Rating agencies evaluate a firm's industry, cash flow, leverage, liquidity, and hedge profile, among other factors, in their credit analysis of a firm's credit risk.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company used approximately $83 million to fund capital expenditures, including growth expenditures of $69 million, $46 million of which were incurred in connection with the repowering of the Elbow Creek and Wildorado facilities completed in the first quarter of 2020, as well as $6 million in connection with Oahu and Kawailoa Partnerships. The Company also incurred $12 million of growth capital expenditures in the Thermal segment in connection with various development projects. In addition, the Company incurred $14 million in maintenance capital expenditures. The Company estimates $32 million of maintenance expenditures for 2020. These estimates are subject to continuing review and adjustment. Actual capital expenditures may vary from these estimates.

NOLs, Deferred Tax Assets and Uncertain Tax Position Implications, under ASC 740

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has a cumulative federal NOL carry forward balance of $1 billion for financial statement purposes, of which $0.9 billion will begin expiring between 2033 to 2037 if unutilized. The Company does not anticipate any federal income tax payments for 2020. Additionally, as of December 31, 2019, the Company has a cumulative state NOL carryforward balance of $649 million for financial statement purposes, which will expire between 2023 to 2039 if unutilized. The Company does not anticipate significant income tax payments for state and local jurisdictions in 2020. Based on the Company's current and expected NOL balances generated primarily by accelerated tax depreciation of its property, plant and equipment, the Company does not expect to pay significant federal income tax for a period of approximately ten years inclusive of any NOL generated after 2017 or later subject to an 80% limitation against future taxable income pursuant to the Tax Act.

As of December 31, 2019, the Company has an interest disallowance carry forward of $219 million as a result of the proposed §163(j) regulation, which was enacted as part of the Tax Cut and Jobs Act. The disallowed interest deduction has an indefinite carry forward period and any limitations on the utilization of this carry forward have been factored into our valuation allowance analysis. These are proposed regulations which are not final and are subject to change in the regulatory review process. On July 28, 2020, the Internal Revenue Service issued final regulations under §163(j), which limits the deduction for business interest expense. The Company is currently analyzing the impact that the regulations will have on its consolidated financial statements and related income tax calculations.

On March 27, 2020 the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act, or CARES Act, was signed into law, which includes modifications to the business interest expense disallowance and net operating loss provisions. While the Company expects to utilize previously disallowed interest expense during 2020 as a result of the modifications, the Company does not expect the CARES Act to have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. The Company will continue to assess the effects of the CARES Act and ongoing government guidance related to COVID-19 that may be issued.

On June 29, 2020, governor of California signed Assembly Bill 85, or AB 85, suspending California net operating loss (NOL) utilization and imposing a cap on the amount of business incentive credits companies can utilize, effective for tax years 2020, 2021, and 2022. After assessing the law change, the Company expects AB 85 to have an immaterial impact on the consolidated financial statements.

The Company is subject to examination by taxing authorities for income tax returns filed in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and various state jurisdictions. The Company is not subject to U.S. federal or state income tax examinations for years prior to 2013. The Company has no uncertain tax benefits.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Obligations under Certain Guarantee Contracts

The Company may enter into guarantee arrangements in the normal course of business to facilitate commercial transactions with third parties.

Retained or Contingent Interests

The Company does not have any material retained or contingent interests in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity.

Obligations Arising Out of a Variable Interest in an Unconsolidated Entity

Variable interest in equity investments — As of June 30, 2020, the Company has several investments with an ownership interest percentage of 50% or less in energy and energy-related entities that are accounted for under the equity method. DGPV Holdco 1 LLC, DGPV Holdco 2 LLC and GenConn are variable interest entities for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company's pro-rata share of non-recourse debt held by unconsolidated affiliates was approximately $660 million as of June 30, 2020. This indebtedness may restrict the ability of these subsidiaries to issue dividends or distributions to the Company.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The Company has a variety of contractual obligations and other commercial commitments that represent prospective cash requirements in addition to the Company's capital expenditure programs, as disclosed in the Company's 2019 Form 10-K.

Fair Value of Derivative Instruments

The Company may enter into fuel purchase contracts and other energy-related derivative instruments to mitigate variability in earnings due to fluctuations in spot market prices and to hedge fuel requirements at certain generation facilities. In addition, in order to mitigate interest rate risk associated with the issuance of variable rate debt, the Company enters into interest rate swap agreements.

The tables below disclose the activities of non-exchange traded contracts accounted for at fair value in accordance with ASC 820. Specifically, these tables disaggregate realized and unrealized changes in fair value; disaggregate estimated fair values at June 30, 2020, based on their level within the fair value hierarchy defined in ASC 820; and indicate the maturities of contracts at June 30, 2020. For a full discussion of the Company's valuation methodology of its contracts, see Derivative Fair Value Measurements in Item — 1 Note 5, Fair Value of Financial Instruments.

The Company has elected to disclose derivative assets and liabilities on a trade-by-trade basis and does not offset amounts at the counterparty master agreement level. As discussed below in Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk - Commodity Price Risk, the Company, measures the sensitivity of the portfolio to potential changes in market prices using VaR, a statistical model which attempts to predict risk of loss based on market price and volatility. The Company's risk management policy places a limit on one-day holding period VaR, which limits the net open position.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The Company's discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations are based upon the consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements and related disclosures in compliance with GAAP requires the application of appropriate technical accounting rules and guidance as well as the use of estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities. The application of these policies necessarily involves judgments regarding future events, including the likelihood of success of particular projects, legal and regulatory challenges, and the fair value of certain assets and liabilities. These judgments, in and of themselves, could materially affect the financial statements and disclosures based on varying assumptions, which may be appropriate to use. In addition, the financial and operating environment may also have a significant effect, not only on the operation of the business, but on the results reported through the application of accounting measures used in preparing the financial statements and related disclosures, even if the nature of the accounting policies has not changed.

On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates these estimates, utilizing historic experience, consultation with experts and other methods the Company considers reasonable. In any event, actual results may differ substantially from the Company's estimates. Any effects on the Company's business, financial position or results of operations resulting from revisions to these estimates are recorded in the period in which the information that gives rise to the revision becomes known.

The Company identifies its most critical accounting policies as those that are the most pervasive and important to the portrayal of the Company's financial position and results of operations, and that require the most difficult, subjective and/or complex judgments by management regarding estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. The Company's critical accounting policies include income taxes and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, impairment of long lived assets and other intangible assets.

Recent Accounting Developments

See Item — 1 Note 2, Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, for a discussion of recent accounting developments.

ITEM 3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company is exposed to several market risks in its normal business activities. Market risk is the potential loss that may result from market changes associated with the Company's power generation or with an existing or forecasted financial or commodity transaction. The types of market risks the Company is exposed to are commodity price risk, interest rate risk, liquidity risk, and credit risk. The following disclosures about market risk provide an update to, and should be read in conjunction with, Item 7A — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk, of the Company's 2019 Form 10-K.

Interest Rate Risk

The Company is exposed to fluctuations in interest rates through its issuance of variable rate debt. Exposures to interest rate fluctuations may be mitigated by entering into derivative instruments known as interest rate swaps, caps, collars and put or call options. These contracts reduce exposure to interest rate volatility and result in primarily fixed rate debt obligations when taking into account the combination of the variable rate debt and the interest rate derivative instrument. See Item 1 — Note 6, Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities, for more information.

Most of the Company's project subsidiaries enter into interest rate swaps, intended to hedge the risks associated with interest rates on non-recourse project level debt. See Note 10, Long-term Debt, to the Company's audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 included in the 2019 Form 10-K for more information about interest rate swaps of the Company's project subsidiaries.

If all of the interest rate swaps had been discontinued on June 30, 2020, the Company would have owed the counterparties $230 million. Based on the credit ratings of the counterparties, the Company believes its exposure to credit risk due to nonperformance by counterparties to its hedge contracts to be insignificant.

The Company has long-term debt instruments that subject it to the risk of loss associated with movements in market interest rates. As of June 30, 2020, a 1% change in interest rates would result in an approximately $2 million change in market interest expense on a rolling twelve-month basis.

As of June 30, 2020, the fair value of the Company's debt was $6,917 million and the carrying value was $6,813 million. The Company estimates that a 1% decrease in market interest rates would have increased the fair value of its long-term debt by approximately $420 million.

Liquidity Risk

Liquidity risk arises from the general funding needs of the Company's activities and in the management of the Company's assets and liabilities.

Commodity Price Risk

Commodity price risks result from exposures to changes in spot prices, forward prices, volatilities, and correlations between various commodities, such as electricity, natural gas and emissions credits. The Company manages the commodity price risk of its merchant generation operations by entering into derivative or non-derivative instruments to hedge the variability in future cash flows from forecasted power sales or purchases of fuel. The portion of forecasted transactions hedged may vary based upon management's assessment of market, weather, operation and other factors.

Based on a sensitivity analysis using simplified assumptions, the impact of a $0.50 per MMBtu increase or decrease in natural gas prices across the term of the derivative contracts would cause a change of approximately $1 million to the net value of derivatives as of June 30, 2020. The impact of a $0.50 per MWh increase or decrease in power prices across the term of the derivatives contracts would cause a change of approximately $1 million to the net value of power derivatives as of June 30, 2020.

Counterparty Credit Risk

Credit risk relates to the risk of loss resulting from non-performance or non-payment by counterparties pursuant to the terms of their contractual obligations. The Company monitors and manages credit risk through credit policies that include: (i) an established credit approval process; and (ii) the use of credit mitigation measures such as prepayment arrangements or volumetric limits. Risks surrounding counterparty performance and credit could ultimately impact the amount and timing of expected cash flows. The Company seeks to mitigate counterparty risk by having a diversified portfolio of counterparties. See Item 1 - Note 1, Nature of Business, and Note 5, Fair Value of Financial Instruments, to the consolidated financial statements for more information about concentration of credit risk.

ITEM 4 — Controls and Procedures

Conclusion Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Company's management, including its principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer, the Company conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of the design and operation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) or 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the Company's principal executive officer, principal financial officer and principal accounting officer concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
