Lessor, Operating Leases LEASES
LESSOR — The Company has operating leases for certain generation contracts that contain provisions to provide capacity to a customer, which is a stand-ready obligation to deliver energy when required by the customer. Capacity obligations are generally considered lease elements as they cover the majority of available output from a facility. The allocation of contract payments between the lease and non-lease elements is made at the inception of the lease. Lease receipts from such contracts are recognized as lease revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term, whereas variable lease receipts are recognized when earned.
The following table presents lease revenue from operating leases in which the Company is the lessor, recognized in Revenue on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for the periods indicated (in millions):

The option to extend or terminate a lease is based on customary early termination provisions in the contract, such as payment defaults, bankruptcy, and lack of performance on energy delivery. The Company has not recognized any early terminations as of June 30, 2024. Certain leases may provide for variable lease payments based on usage or index-based (e.g., the U.S. Consumer Price Index) adjustments to lease payments.

Battery Storage Lease Arrangements — The Company constructs and operates projects consisting only of a stand-alone BESS facility, as well as projects that pair a BESS with solar energy systems. These projects allow more flexibility on when to provide energy to the grid. The Company will enter into PPAs for the full output of the facility that allow customers the ability to determine when to charge and discharge the BESS. These arrangements include both lease and non-lease elements under ASC 842, with the BESS component typically constituting a sales-type lease. The Company recognized lease revenue on sales-type leases through interest income of $4 million and $8 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and $3 million and $7 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, respectively.
The Company recorded net losses at commencement of sales-type leases of $72 million and $67 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively. No gains or losses were recorded for the three and six months ended June 30, 2023. Gains and losses at commencement of sales-type leases are recognized in Other income and Other expense, respectively, in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations. See Note 15—Other Income and Expense for further information.
