Amounts reported in this column represent (i) the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year in the case of Mr. Sotos and (ii) the average of the total compensation reported in the Summary Compensation Table for the applicable year for the Company’s Non-PEO NEOs for the applicable year.
(3)
The amounts shown for “Compensation Actually Paid” have been calculated in accordance with Item 402(v) of Regulation S-K for the applicable year and do not reflect compensation actually earned, realized, or received by the Company’s NEOs. These amounts reflect the Summary Compensation Table Total with certain adjustments made as described under the “Reconciliation of CAP Adjustments” section below. Equity values are calculated in accordance with FASB ASC Topic 718. Amounts in the Exclusion of Stock Awards column are the totals from the Stock Awards column set forth in the Summary Compensation Table.
(4)
The Peer Group TSR set forth in this table utilizes the Philadelphia Utility Sector Index (“UTY”), which we also utilize in the stock performance graph required by Item 201(e) of Regulation S-K included in our Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2023. The comparison assumes $100 was invested for the period starting December 31, 2019, through the end of the listed year in the Company’s Class C common stock and in the UTY, respectively. Historical stock performance is not necessarily indicative of future stock performance.
(5)
As noted in the CD&A, the Compensation Committee selected CAFD as one of the key metrics for evaluating and rewarding management’s performance in the 2023 annual incentive compensation program. CAFD is a non-GAAP measure that is defined in the CD&A under the heading “2023 AIP Bonus Performance Criteria.” Given the importance of CAFD, as discussed further above (i.e., CAFD has a 40% weighting in the AIP scorecard), the Company has determined, in the Company’s assessment, that CAFD represents the most important financial performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the above table) used by the Company to link Compensation Actually Paid to the NEOs for 2023. CAFD may not have been the most important financial performance measure for certain prior years, and the Compensation Committee may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.

Tabular List, Table
TABULAR LIST OF MOST IMPORTANT FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE MEASURES
The following is a list of financial performance measures, which in our assessment represent the most important financial performance measures used by the Company to link Compensation Actually Paid to the NEOs for 2023. The measures in this table are not ranked. In addition to these metrics, the Company’s AIP includes key performance milestones relating to adherence to budget, restructuring of Lighthouse Renewable Holdco LLC and Lighthouse Renewable Holdco 2 LLC, ratio of administrative costs to CAFD, and natural gas strategic plan and execution in order to emphasize those initiatives as priorities throughout the organization. Please see the CD&A for a further description of the metrics used in the Company’s executive compensation program.

Non-GAAP Measure Description
(5)
As noted in the CD&A, the Compensation Committee selected CAFD as one of the key metrics for evaluating and rewarding management’s performance in the 2023 annual incentive compensation program. CAFD is a non-GAAP measure that is defined in the CD&A under the heading “2023 AIP Bonus Performance Criteria.” Given the importance of CAFD, as discussed further above (i.e., CAFD has a 40% weighting in the AIP scorecard), the Company has determined, in the Company’s assessment, that CAFD represents the most important financial performance measure (that is not otherwise required to be disclosed in the above table) used by the Company to link Compensation Actually Paid to the NEOs for 2023. CAFD may not have been the most important financial performance measure for certain prior years, and the Compensation Committee may determine a different financial performance measure to be the most important financial performance measure in future years.
