This communication contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Forward-looking statements can be identified by the fact that they do not
relate strictly to historical or current facts. These statements involve estimates, expectations, projections, goals, assumptions,
known and unknown risks, and uncertainties and typically include words or variations of words such as "expect," "anticipate,"

new offering and the intended use of the proceeds of the new offering, or descriptions of assumptions underlying any of the above.
Forward-looking statements provide TerraForm Power’s current expectations or predictions of future conditions, events, or results
and speak only as of the date they are made. Although TerraForm Power believes its expectations and assumptions are
reasonable, it can give no assurance that these expectations and assumptions will prove to have been correct and actual results may
vary materially.
By their nature, forward-looking statements are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ
materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not
limited to, risks related to Brookfield sponsorship, including our ability to realize the expected benefits of the transaction with
Brookfield, risks related to wind conditions at our wind assets or to weather conditions at our solar assets, risks related to
potential events of default at our project financings, risks related to delays in our filing of periodic reports with the SEC,
risks related to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, pending and future litigation, our ability to
integrate the projects we acquire from third parties or otherwise and realize the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions, the
willingness and ability of counterparties to fulfill their obligations under offtake agreements, price fluctuations, termination
provisions and buyout provisions in offtake agreements, our ability to enter into contracts to sell power on acceptable prices and
terms, including as our offtake agreements expire, our ability to successfully identify, evaluate and consummate acquisitions,
government regulation, including compliance with regulatory and permit requirements and changes in market rules, rates, tariffs,
tax rules, environmental laws and policies affecting renewable energy, operating and financial restrictions placed on us and our
subsidiaries related to agreements governing indebtedness, the condition of the debt and equity capital markets and our ability to
borrow additional funds and access capital markets, as well as our substantial indebtedness and the possibility that we may incur
additional indebtedness going forward, cash trapped at the project level, including the risk that such project-level cash may not
be released up to us in a timely manner, risks related to the proposed relocation of our headquarters, our ability to compete
against traditional and renewable energy companies, and hazards customary to the power production industry and power generation
operations, such as unusual weather conditions and outages.
TerraForm Power disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in
underlying assumptions, factors, or expectations, new information, data, or methods, future events, or other changes, except as
required by law. The foregoing list of factors that might cause results to differ materially from those contemplated in the
forward-looking statements should be considered in connection with information regarding risks and uncertainties which are
described in TerraForm Power’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016, as well as additional factors it may describe
from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should understand that it is not possible to
predict or identify all such factors and, consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential
risks or uncertainties.
