Forward guidance

Tailwinds

  • Normal weather and operating conditions
  • Public policy support for wind and solar development and construction
  • Market demand and transmission expansion support for wind and solar development
  • Market demand for pipeline capacity
  • Access to capital at reasonable cost and terms

Headwinds

  • NEP's ability to make cash distributions to its unitholders is affected by wind and solar conditions at its renewable energy projects
  • NEP's business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects can be materially adversely affected by weather conditions, including, but not limited to, the impact of severe weather
  • Operation and maintenance of renewable energy projects involve significant risks that could result in unplanned power outages, reduced output, personal injury or loss of life
  • Natural gas gathering and transmission activities involve numerous risks that may result in accidents or otherwise affect NEP’s pipeline operations
  • NEP depends on certain of the renewable energy projects and pipelines in its portfolio for a substantial portion of its anticipated cash flows
