NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Nature of Business

Clearway Energy LLC, together with its consolidated subsidiaries, or the Company, is an energy infrastructure investor in and owner of modern, sustainable and long-term contracted assets across North America. The Company is indirectly owned by Global Infrastructure Partners III. Global Infrastructure Management, LLC is an independent fund manager that invests in infrastructure assets in energy and transport sectors, and Global Infrastructure Partners III is its third equity fund. The Company is sponsored by GIP through GIP's portfolio company, CEG.

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 Clearway Energy, Inc.'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.

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	$	174	$	152
Restricted cash	241		262
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash shown in the statement of cash flows	$	415	$	414

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.

Accumulated Depreciation, Accumulated Amortization

The following table presents the accumulated depreciation included in the property, plant and equipment, net, and accumulated amortization included in intangible assets, net, respectively, as of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019:


	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
	(In millions)
Property, Plant and Equipment Accumulated Depreciation	$	2,036	$	1,880
Intangible Assets Accumulated Amortization	439		394

Distributions

The following table lists distributions paid on Clearway Energy LLC's Class A, B, C and D units during the six months ended June 30, 2020:


	Second Quarter 2020		First Quarter 2020
Distributions per Class A, B, C and D unit	$	0.21	$	0.21

On July 30, 2020 Clearway Energy LLC declared a distribution on its Class A, Class B, Class C and Class D units of $0.3125 per unit payable on September 15, 2020 to unit holders of record as of September 1, 2020.

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.

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:

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)	$	6,815	$	6,919	$	6,813	$	6,913

^(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:

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.

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.

Note 11 — Contingencies

This note should be read in conjunction with the complete description under Note 14, 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 12 — 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 13— 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 long-term debt to Clearway Energy, Inc. which were in turn utilized to repay the $45 million outstanding principal amount of Clearway Energy, Inc.'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

Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company had 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 $6 million attributable to CEG's interests in the Oahu, Kawailoa and Repowering partnerships, partially offset 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 distributions. 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 $854 million and $839 million, respectively, comprised of cash, restricted cash and availability under the Company's revolving credit facility.


(In millions)	June 30, 2020		December 31, 2019
Cash and cash equivalents:
Clearway Energy LLC, excluding subsidiaries	$	58	$	27
Subsidiaries	116		125
Restricted cash:
Operating accounts	80		129
Reserves, including debt service, distributions, performance obligations and other reserves	161		133
Total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	415	$	414
Revolving credit facility availability	439		425
Total liquidity	$	854	$	839

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 distributions to Clearway Energy, Inc. and CEG. 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.

Revolving Credit Facility

The Company has a total of $439 million available under the revolving credit facility as of June 30, 2020. The facility will continue to be used for general corporate purposes including financing of future acquisitions and posting letters of credit.

2028 Senior Notes

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 notes were issued at a price of 102% of par plus accrued interest from December 11, 2019. The net proceeds were used to repay the outstanding long-term debt to Clearway Energy, Inc. which were in turn utilized to repay the $45 million outstanding principal amount of Clearway Energy Inc.'s 2020 Convertible Notes on June 1, 2020, as well as repay amounts outstanding under the Company’s revolving credit facility and for general corporate purposes.

ATM Sales

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, Clearway Energy, Inc. issued and sold 1,749,665 shares of Class C common stock for net proceeds of $38 million, which resulted in the completion of the shares of Class C common stock that were available to be issued under the ATM Program. Clearway Energy, Inc. utilized the proceeds of the sales to acquire 1,749,665 of the Company's Class C units and, as a result, Clearway Energy, Inc. currently owns 57.41% of the economic interests of the Company, with CEG retaining the remaining 42.59%.

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.

Sale of Energy Center Dover LLC and Energy Center Smyrna LLC Assets

On March 3, 2020, the Company, through Thermal LLC, sold 100% of its interests in Energy Center Dover LLC and Energy Center Smyrna LLC to DB Energy Assets, LLC.

Uses of Liquidity

The Company's requirements for liquidity and capital resources, other than for operating its facilities, are categorized as: (i) debt service obligations, as described more fully in Item 1 — Note 7, Long-term Debt to the Consolidated Financial Statements; (ii) capital expenditures; (iii) acquisitions and investments; and (iv) distributions.

Capital Expenditures

The Company's capital spending program is mainly focused on maintenance capital expenditures, consisting of costs to maintain the assets currently operating, such as costs to replace or refurbish assets, and growth capital expenditures consisting of costs to construct new assets, costs to complete the construction of assets where construction is in process, and capital expenditures related to acquiring additional thermal customers.

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.

Repowering Partnership II LLC

On May 11, 2020 the Company acquired CEG's remaining interest in Repowering 1.0, which includes the 161 MW Wildorado and 122 MW Elbow Creek wind projects, for cash consideration of $70 million.

Acquisitions and Investments

The Company expects to invest approximately $241 million in corporate capital subject to closing adjustments for the above mentioned transactions.

Investment Partnership with CEG

During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company invested $10 million in distributed generation partnerships with CEG.

Clearway Energy LLC and Clearway Energy Operating LLC Revolving Credit Facility

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 above and cash on hand.

2020 Convertible Notes

On June 1, 2020, the Company repaid its outstanding $45 million of long-term debt owed to Clearway Energy, Inc. which was in turn utilized to repay the remaining Clearway Energy, Inc. 2020 Convertible Notes, utilizing the proceeds from the issuance of additional 2028 Senior Notes as described above.

Cash Distributions to Clearway Energy, Inc.

The Company intends to distribute to its unit holders in the form of a quarterly distribution all of the CAFD it generates each quarter, less reserves for the prudent conduct of the business, including among others, maintenance capital expenditures to maintain the operating capacity of the assets. Distributions on the units are subject to available capital, market conditions, and compliance with associated laws, regulations and other contractual obligations. The Company expects that, based on current circumstances, comparable cash distributions will continue to be paid in the foreseeable future.

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 $6,919 million and the carrying value was $6,815 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.
