Dan’s Mountain Drop Down — On November 18, 2024, the Company, through its indirect subsidiary, Dan’s Mountain Parent Holdco LLC, acquired the Class A membership interests in Dan’s Mountain TargetCo LLC, the indirect owner of Dan’s Mountain, a 55 MW wind facility that is currently under construction in Allegany County, Maryland, from Clearway Renew for initial cash consideration of $7 million. At substantial completion, which is expected to occur in the first half of 2025, the Company estimates it will pay an additional $31 million to Clearway Renew. Dan’s Mountain TargetCo LLC, a partnership between the Company and Clearway Renew, consolidates as primary beneficiary, Dan’s Mountain Tax Credit Holdco LLC, a tax equity fund that owns the Dan’s Mountain wind facility, as further described in Note 5, Investments Accounted for by the Equity Method and Variable Interest Entities. Dan’s Mountain has a 12-year PPA with an investment-grade utility that will commence when the underlying operating assets reach commercial operations, which is expected to occur in the first half of 2025. The Dan’s Mountain operations are reflected in the Company’s Renewables segment and the acquisition was funded with existing sources of liquidity. The acquisition was determined to be an asset acquisition and the Company consolidates Dan’s Mountain on a prospective basis in its financial statements. The assets and liabilities transferred to the Company relate to interests under common control and were recorded at historical cost in accordance with ASC 805-50, Business Combinations - Related Issues. The sum of the Company’s initial cash consideration of $7 million and the historical cost of the Company’s net liabilities assumed of $2 million, less Clearway Renew’s investment of $1 million in Dan’s Mountain TargetCo LLC, was recorded as an adjustment to CEG’s noncontrolling interest balance. In addition, the Company reflected the entire $7 million purchase price, which was contributed back to the Company by CEG to pay down the acquired long-term debt, in the line item contributions from CEG, net of distributions, in the consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity.
