Forward guidance

The Company is updating its 2022 full year CAFD guidance to $365 million. The Company's 2022 financial guidance factors in the contribution of committed growth investments based on current expected closing timelines and the closing of Thermal disposition on May 1, 2022. With the effects above, the timing of CAFD realization pursuant to 5-year averages, asset CAFD across all segments being materially in-line with current profiles, the Company is reiterating its pro forma CAFD outlook expectations of approximately $385 million.
