Exhibit 99.8

SUBJECT: Exciting news about Pattern’s future

Dear Valued Property Owner,

You are an important partner to Pattern, so I wanted to make sure you heard directly from me about our announcement that Pattern Energy and Pattern Development are being acquired. We want to make sure you understand what is happening and what it means for you.

First, some details on the transaction. Pattern Energy has entered into a definitive merger agreement to be acquired by Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (“CPPIB”). In addition, at the time the transaction closes or immediately following, CPPIB and Riverstone Holdings LLC (“Riverstone”) will combine Pattern Energy and Pattern Development under common ownership, bringing together the operating assets of Pattern Energy with the world class development projects and capabilities of Pattern Development.

Reflecting on Pattern’s journey from a development startup to a public company with global operations, I’m incredibly proud of what Pattern has achieved to date. Since our IPO in 2013, we’ve nearly tripled in size while navigating a dynamic and rapidly-evolving industry. Our Board of Directors conducted a comprehensive review that culminated in a transaction that delivers value to shareholders. We are now entering this transaction, which we believe is in the best interest of shareholders and will enable us to advance our vision of bringing renewable energy to communities.

CPPIB and Riverstone know our company and the renewable industry well. CPPIB is one of the largest national pension fund managers in the world and has a long track record of investing in the renewable energy space. Riverstone first invested in Pattern Energy and Pattern Development more than 10 years ago, and we have worked closely and productively with them as we have grown.

We’re excited about what this transaction means for our efforts to transition the world to renewable energy. We also believe that the benefits of the transaction will make us an even stronger partner for you.

While this transaction will bring about a change of ownership, it is important to know that it will not change the culture that drives us every day. I look forward to continuing to serve as CEO of Pattern, and working closely with the rest of the management team to lead the combined company following the completion of the transaction.

Next Steps

For you and the other property owners we work with, nothing is changing immediately. It is business as usual for us. Pattern Energy and Pattern Development will continue operating independently until the transaction closes, which is expected to occur by the second quarter of 2020.

In short, we are continuing to work with you as we always have and your company contact will remain the same. Please feel free to reach out to your regular Pattern Energy representative with any questions you may have.

We value our relationship with you, as we enter this new chapter and work to build a renewable energy future for the communities we serve. Thank you for your continued partnership and support.

Sincerely,

Mike Garland

Chief Executive Officer

Pattern Energy Group Inc.
