TERRAFORM POWER Q1 2018 Supplemental Three Months Ended March 31, 2018 Information
2 CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS 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,” “believe,” “intend,” “plan,” “seek,” “estimate,” “predict,” “project,” “goal,” “guidance,” “outlook,” “objective,” “forecast,” “target,” “potential,” “continue,” “would,” “will,” “should,” “could,” or “may” or other comparable terms and phrases. All statements that address operating performance, events, or developments that the Company expects or anticipates will occur in the future are forward-looking statements. They may include estimates of expected cash available for distribution, earnings, revenues, capital expenditures, liquidity, capital structure, future growth, financing arrangements and other financial performance items (including future dividends per share), descriptions of management’s plans or objectives for future operations, products, or services, or descriptions of assumptions underlying any of the above. Forward-looking statements provide the Company’s current expectations or predictions of future conditions, events, or results and speak only as of the date they are made. Although the Company 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. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our expectations, or cautionary statements, are listed below and further disclosed under the section entitled Item 1A. Risk Factors: risks related to the transition to Brookfield Asset Management Inc. sponsorship, including our ability to realize the expected benefits of the sponsorship; risks related to wind conditions at our wind assets or to weather conditions at our solar assets; risks related to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting; pending and future litigation; 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 compete against traditional and renewable energy companies; government regulation, including compliance with regulatory and permit requirements and changes in tax laws, market rules, rates, tariffs, environmental laws and policies affecting renewable energy; risks related to the expected relocation of the Company’s headquarters; 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; operating and financial restrictions placed on us and our subsidiaries related to agreements governing indebtedness; risks related to the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the tender offer for the shares of Saeta Yield, S.A., including the timing or receipt of any governmental approvals; risks related to our financing of the tender offer for the shares of Saeta Yield, S.A., including our ability to issue equity on terms that are accretive to our shareholders and our ability to implement our permanent funding plan; our ability to successfully identify, evaluate and consummate acquisitions; and our ability to integrate the projects we acquire from third parties, including Saeta Yield, S.A., or otherwise and our ability to realize the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions. The Company 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 our Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, as well as additional factors we may describe from time to time in other filings with the SEC. We operate in a competitive and rapidly changing environment. New risks and uncertainties emerge from time to time, and 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.
3 Q1 2018 HIGHLIGHTS Activities Highlights • Announced offer to acquire 100% of Saeta Yield, a leading, publicly-listed European owner and operator of wind and solar assets, located primarily in Spain. Received Spanish regulatory approval for the acquisition and for our offer price of €12.20 per share; launching tender offer in early May; expecting to close the transaction in June or July • We are in advanced negotiations with an original equipment manufacturer to provide a full-wrap long- term service contract covering all our wind fleet, which features a fixed price that is consistent with our business plan and attractive availability guarantees • In late stage negotiations to acquire a fully contracted 6 MW DG solar portfolio; includes a ROFO on an additional 15 MW with the same seller, which we may be able to exercise in phases over the next 9-18 months • In January one of the towers at our Raleigh, Ontario facility collapsed due to a single faulty blade. In order to determine the root cause of the blade failure, we removed from service all 70 turbines across the fleet that utilize the same blades. After a thorough investigation to determine the root cause of the blade failure and rigorous inspections of the blades, the turbines have been returned to normal service • In early February 2018, we upsized our corporate revolving credit facility to $600 million, TERP now has over $1 billion of liquidity under committed facilities • Paid quarterly dividend of $0.19 per share, or $0.76 per share on an annualized basis – a 6% increase over previous guidance

7 Generation and Revenue • Long term average annual generation (LTA) is energy at the point of delivery net of all recurring losses and constraints. Our LTA represents the level of production that we expect to achieve starting in 2019 as we improve the performance of our fleet • We compare actual generation levels against the long-term average to highlight the impact of an important factor that affects the variability of our business results. In the short-term, we recognize that wind and irradiance conditions will vary from one period to the next; however, we expect our facilities will produce electricity in-line with their long-term averages over time (GWh) (MILLIONS) Actual Generation LTA Generation Operating Revenue, Net Adjusted Revenue(1) Q1 2018 Q1 2017 Q1 Q1 2018 Q1 2017 Q1 2018 Q1 2017 Wind Central Wind 669 778 779 32$ 40$ 40$ 49$ Texas Wind 430 479 454 6$ 13$ 6$ 10$ Hawaii Wind 41 39 66 8$ 7$ 8$ 7$ Northeast Wind 325 330 324 22$ 25$ 24$ 25$ 1,465 1,626 1,623 68$ 85$ 78$ 91$ Solar NA Utility Solar 204 189 219 23$ 21$ 24$ 22$ International Utility Solar 62 64 66 8$ 8$ 7$ 9$ DG 103 103 114 29$ 30$ 30$ 27$ 369 356 399 60 59 61 58 Total adjusted for Asset Sales 1,834 1,982 2,022 128$ 144$ 139$ 149$ Asset Sold 50 - 7 - 7 Total 1,834 2,032 2,022 128$ 151$ 139$ 156$ (1) Non-GAAP measures.

11 Solar (continued) • Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD were $49 million and $23 million, respectively, versus $47 million and $21 million, respectively, in Q1 2017 • Adjusted EBITDA increased $2 million due to higher average realized prices in DG solar driven by greater SREC subscriptions at strong prices in 2018, and higher volumes in Utility Solar. These were partially offset by an increase in costs related to SunEdison sponsor subsidies, which benefited 2017 • CAFD increased $2 million due to greater Adjusted EBITDA, and lower distributions to non-controlling interests than Q1 2017. Project defaults in 2016 caused cash traps, which increased distributions to non- controlling interests in Q1 2017 as cash was released • Net loss of ($12 million) was $18 million lower than Q1 2017 primarily due to an asset impairment in DG Solar • Availability was adversely impact in Q1 2018 primarily due to switch gear outages in Chile Performance Highlights 2018 2017 61 58 (12) (11) $ 49 $ 47 (14) (14) (12) (12) (3) (4) 3 4 $ 23 $ 21 49 47 (15) (20) (30) (29) (16) 8 $ (12) $ 6 (1 ) Adjusted for sale of our UK solar and Residential portfolios in 2017.

16 We operate with sufficient liquidity to enable us to fund expected growth initiatives, capital expenditures, and distributions, and to provide protection against any sudden adverse changes in economic circumstances or short-term fluctuations in generation. Principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, our credit facilities, up-financings of subsidiary borrowings and proceeds from the issuance of securities. Corporate liquidity and available capital were $1,037 million and $1,210 million, respectively, as of March 31, 2018: Liquidity $ 73 $ 47 12 21 Cash available to corporate 85 68 Authorized credit facilities 600 450 Draws on credit facilities (70) (60) Commitments under revolver (78) (103) Undrawn Sponsor Line 500 500 952 787 $ 1,037 $ 855 73 60 95 97 5 3 $ 1,210 $ 1,015 Other project-level unrestricted cash Project-level restricted cash Project-level credit commitments, unissued Available capital (MILLIONS) Unrestricted corporate cash Project-level distributable cash Credit facilities Available portion of credit facilities Mar 31 2018 Dec 31 2017 Corporate liquidity

18 Our portfolio has a weighted-average remaining contract duration of ~14 years. Over the next five years, contracts accounting for 10% of our expected generation expire. We are focused on securing long-term contracts to the extent these contracts expire. The majority of our long-term power purchase agreements are with investment-grade counterparties. The composition of our counterparties under power purchase agreements is as follows: • Public utilities: 70% • Financial institutions: 21% • Commercial and industrial customers: 5% • Government institutions: 4% The following table sets out our contracted generation over the next five years as a percentage of expected generation. We currently have a contracted profile of approximately 95% of future generation and our goal is to maintain this profile going forward.

The amounts added back represent changes in the value of the energy derivative related to future operating periods, and are expected to have little or no net economic impact since the change in value is expected to be largely offset by changes in value of the underlying energy sale in the spot or day-ahead market. b) Represents net amortization of purchase accounting related to intangibles arising from past business combinations related to favorable and unfavorable rate revenue contracts. c) Primarily represents recognized deferred revenue related to the upfront sale of investment tax credits. d) In the three months ended March 31, 2017, reclassifies $2.3 million wind sustaining capital expenditure into direct operating costs, which will now be covered under new Full Service Agreement. e) Pursuant to the management services agreement, SunEdison agreed to provide or arrange for other service providers to provide management and administrative services to us. In the three months ended March 31, 2017, we accrued $0.4 million of costs incurred for management and administrative services that were provided by SunEdison under the Management Services Agreement that were not reimbursed by TerraForm Power and were treated as an addback in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA. In addition, non- operating items and other items incurred directly by TerraForm Power that we do not consider indicative of our core business operations are treated as an addback in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA. These items include extraordinary costs and expenses related primarily to restructuring, legal, advisory and contractor fees associated with the bankruptcy of SunEdison and certain of its affiliates (the “SunEdison bankruptcy”) and investment banking, legal, third party diligence and advisory fees associated with the Brookfield transaction, dispositions and financings. The Company’s normal general and administrative expenses, paid by Terraform Power, are the amounts shown below and were not added back in the reconciliation of net income (loss) to Adjusted EBITDA ($ in millions): f) Includes reductions (increases) within operating revenues due to net amortization of favorable and unfavorable rate revenue contracts as detailed in the reconciliation of Adjusted Revenue. g) Represents other non-cash items as detailed in the reconciliation of Adjusted Revenue and associated footnote and certain other items that we believe are not representative of our core business or future operating performance, including but not limited to: loss (gain) on foreign exchange (“FX”), unrealized loss on commodity contracts, loss on investments and receivables with affiliate, loss on disposal of renewable energy facilities, and wind sustaining capital expenditure previously reclassified. h) Represents project-level and other interest expense and interest income attributed to normal operations. The reconciliation from Interest expense, net as shown on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations to adjusted interest expense applicable to CAFD is as follows: Q1 2018 Q1 2017 $7 M $9 M $ in millions Q1 2018 Q1 2017 Interest expense, net ($54) ($68) Amortization of deferred financing costs and debt discounts 3 5 Adjustment for asset sales - 4 Other 1 (1) Adjusted interest expense ($50) ($60)
22 i) Represents levelized project-level and other principal debt payments to the extent paid from operating cash. j) Represents cash distributions paid to non-controlling interests in our renewable energy facilities. The reconciliation from Distributions to non-controlling interests as shown on the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows to Cash distributions to non-controlling interests, net for the three months ended March 31, 2018 and 2017 is as follows: k) Represents long-term average sustaining capex starting in 2018 to maintain reliability and efficiency of the assets. l) Represents other cash flows as determined by management to be representative of normal operations including, but not limited to, wind plant “pay as you go” contributions received from tax equity partners, interconnection upgrade reimbursements, major maintenance reserve releases or (additions), and releases or (postings) of collateral held by counterparties of energy market hedges for certain wind plants. m) CAFD in 2017 was recast as follows to present the levelized principal payments and adjusted interest expense in order to provide period to period comparisons that are consistent and more easily understood. In the twelve months ended December 31, 2017, CAFD remained $88 million as reported previously.

25 Calculation and Use of Non-GAAP Measures Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD are supplemental non-GAAP measures that should not be viewed as alternatives to GAAP measures of performance, including revenue, net income (loss), operating income or net cash provided by operating activities. Our definitions and calculation of these non-GAAP measures may not necessarily be the same as those used by other companies. These non-GAAP measures have certain limitations, which are described below, and they should not be considered in isolation. We encourage you to review, and evaluate the basis for, each of the adjustments made to arrive at Adjusted Revenue, Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD. Calculation of Non-GAAP Measures We define adjusted revenue as operating revenues, net, adjusted for non-cash items including unrealized gain/loss on derivatives, amortization of favorable and unfavorable rate revenue contracts, net and other non-cash revenue items. We define adjusted EBITDA as net income (loss) plus depreciation, accretion and amortization, non-cash general and administrative costs, interest expense, income tax (benefit) expense, acquisition related expenses, and certain other non-cash charges, unusual or non-recurring items and other items that we believe are not representative of our core business or future operating performance. We define “cash available for distribution” or “CAFD” as adjusted EBITDA (i) minus cash distributions paid to non-controlling interests in our renewable energy facilities, if any, (ii) minus annualized scheduled interest and project level amortization payments in accordance with the related borrowing arrangements, (iii) minus average annual sustaining capital expenditures (based on the long-sustaining capital expenditure plans) which are recurring in nature and used to maintain the reliability and efficiency of our power generating assets over our long-term investment horizon, (iv) plus or minus operating items as necessary to present the cash flows we deem representative of our core business operations. As compared to the preceding period, we revised our definition of CAFD to (i) exclude adjustments related to deposits into and withdrawals from restricted cash accounts, required by project financing arrangements, (ii) replace sustaining capital expenditures payment made in the year with the average annualized long-term sustaining capital expenditures to maintain reliability and efficiency of our assets, and (iii) annualized debt service payments. We revised our definition as we believe it provides a more meaningful measure for investors to evaluate our financial and operating performance and ability to pay dividends. For items presented on an annualized basis, we will present actual cash payments as a proxy for an annualized number until the period commencing January 1, 2018. Furthermore, to provide investors with the most appropriate measures to assess the financial and operating performance of our existing fleet and the ability to pay dividends in the future, we have excluded results associated with our UK solar and Residential portfolios, which were sold in 2017, from adjusted revenue, EBITDA and CAFD reported for all periods. Use of Non-GAAP Measures We disclose Adjusted Revenue because it presents the component of operating revenue that relates to energy production from our plants, and is, therefore, useful to investors and other stakeholders in evaluating performance of our renewable energy assets and comparing that performance across periods in each case without regard to non-cash revenue items. We disclose Adjusted EBITDA because we believe it is useful to investors and other stakeholders as a measure of financial and operating performance and debt service capabilities. We believe Adjusted EBITDA provides an additional tool to investors and securities analysts to compare our performance across periods and among us and our peer companies without regard to interest expense, taxes and depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA has certain limitations, including that it: (i) does not reflect cash expenditures or future requirements for capital expenditures or contractual liabilities or future working capital needs, (ii) does not reflect the significant interest expenses that we expect to incur or any income tax payments that we may incur, and (iii) does not reflect depreciation and amortization and, although these charges are non-cash, the assets to which they relate may need to be replaced in the future, and (iv) does not take into account any cash expenditures required to replace those assets. Adjusted EBITDA also includes adjustments for goodwill impairment charges, gains and losses on derivatives and foreign currency swaps, acquisition related costs and items we believe are infrequent, unusual or non-recurring, including adjustments for general and administrative expenses we have incurred as a result of the SunEdison bankruptcy. We disclose CAFD because we believe cash available for distribution is useful to investors in evaluating our operating performance and because securities analysts and other stakeholders analyze CAFD as a measure of our financial and operating performance and our ability to pay dividends. CAFD is not a measure of liquidity or profitability, nor is it indicative of the funds needed by us to operate our business. CAFD has certain limitations, such as the fact that CAFD includes all of the adjustments and exclusions made to Adjusted EBITDA described above. The adjustments made to Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD for infrequent, unusual or non-recurring items and items that we do not believe are representative of our core business involve the application of management judgment, and the presentation of Adjusted EBITDA and CAFD should not be construed to infer that our future results will be unaffected by infrequent, non-operating, unusual or non-recurring items. In addition, these measures are used by our management for internal planning purposes, including for certain aspects of our consolidated operating budget, as well as evaluating the attractiveness of investments and acquisitions. We believe these Non-GAAP measures are useful as a planning tool because it allows our management to compare performance across periods on a consistent basis in order to more easily view and evaluate operating and performance trends and as a means of forecasting operating and financial performance and comparing actual performance to forecasted expectations. For these reasons, we also believe these Non-GAAP measures are also useful for communicating with investors and other stakeholders.
