Georgetown's Solar Provider - Clearway Energy

Here is a description of Clearway Energy:


"Clearway Energy, Inc. is a leading publicly-traded energy infrastructure investor focused on modern, sustainable and long-term contracted assets across North America. Clearway Energy’s environmentally-sound asset portfolio includes over 7,000 megawatts of wind, solar and natural gas-fired power generation facilities, as well as district energy systems. Through this diversified and contracted portfolio, Clearway Energy endeavors to provide its investors with stable and growing dividend income. Clearway Energy’s Class C and Class A common stock are traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbols CWEN and CWEN.A, respectively. Clearway Energy, Inc. is sponsored by its controlling investor Global Infrastructure Partners III (GIP), an independent infrastructure fund manager that invests in infrastructure and businesses in both OECD and select emerging market countries, through GIP’s portfolio company, Clearway Energy Group."

Notice the part about providing "its investors with stable and growing income". Why would anyone think that Clearway would voluntarily reduce its income to investors by negotiating a lower energy price for Georgetown?

Clearway is paying a 9% dividend to its investors, but, the stock price is near its all-time low and is off about 8% today. This indicates a lack of confidence by investors in the company.
