Clearway Energy Director Vincent Stoquart Resigns from Board

Clearway Energy Inc. reported the resignation of Vincent Stoquart from its board of directors effective May 15 2026.

The company filed the disclosure on Form 8-K with the SEC on May 15 2026. Item 5.02 states that Stoquart notified the board of his decision to resign. The filing lists no specific cause for the departure. Stoquart had served as a director since the company's spin-off transactions in 2013 and 2015 that created the yieldco focused on contracted wind solar and thermal assets.

Clearway Energy operates a portfolio of renewable and conventional generation facilities with roughly 5.7 gigawatts of capacity under long-term contracts. The board previously consisted of eight directors. Stoquart's exit reduces that number to seven until any replacement is named.

Item 7.01 contains Regulation FD disclosure that includes the resignation announcement and states no other material information is being furnished beyond the exhibits.

The operational change takes effect immediately on May 15 2026. The company must now operate with the reduced board until it either fills the vacancy or adjusts committee assignments. Standard governance rules require Clearway Energy to disclose any new director election on a subsequent Form 8-K within four business days.

If the board falls below the minimum required by its bylaws or credit agreements the company may need to address compliance with debt covenants and NYSE listing standards that reference independent director thresholds.

Downstream the resignation initiates a search process that the nominating and corporate governance committee must conduct under the company's corporate governance guidelines. Any replacement director will require background checks independence verification and onboarding that typically conclude within 90 days.

The filing also exhibits the press release issued on May 15 2026 which must be retained for SEC record-keeping purposes. Credit rating agencies and counterparties to power purchase agreements will review the updated board composition during routine surveillance cycles later in 2026.

This marks the first board-level departure reported by Clearway Energy since its 2023 acquisition of the remaining stake in its sponsor's development platform. The company has filed similar Item 5.02 disclosures after prior director transitions in 2021 and 2024 that were followed by new independent director appointments within two quarters.
