  • Tight capacity conditions in the Western US and California regulatory market reforms make CWEN's gas fleet critical for the market
  • With 99% of fleet capacity contracted through mid-2026, CWEN has good visibility for planning its dividend policy and is contracting further into the future for 2027-2030, pursuing visibility and value
  • New contracts announced today extend visibility at strong pricing while diversifying customer base across LSE and tenor in contracts, and brings contracted capacity to 52% for the three facilities

  • Assuming pricing on contract extensions were applied to remaining uncontracted MWs, this alone could enable CWEN growth at the low end of the 5-8% CAFD per share without any further capital

New Resource Adequacy Contracts for Marsh Landing and Walnut Creek Continue to Firm Up CAFD Per Share Growth Visibility Beyond $2.15 in 2026, and Demonstrate Increasing Value of Dispatchable Resources in California Capacity Market
