• Q1 2026 results and guidance — XPLR reported approximately $435 million of adjusted EBITDA and $89 million of free cash flow before growth for Q1, and reiterated full-year guidance of $1.75–$1.95 billion EBITDA and $600–$700 million FCF.
• Repowering progress — About 30% of 2026 repowering projects are complete, and management says repowered assets are enhancing generation, longevity and portfolio cash flow.
• Higher financing costs — Q1 free cash flow was pressured by roughly $74 million of incremental corporate interest from the $1.75 billion unsecured notes issued in March 2025 plus about $12 million of additional project financing interest, and asset dispositions also reduced near-term contributions.
• Battery storage JV with NextEra — XPLR will hold a ~49% interest in four co-invested battery projects expected to add ~200 net MW by year-end 2027, with ~ $80 million of net equity to be funded via interconnection asset sales and JV formations.
• Recontracting opportunity — Management recontracted ~90 MW at roughly $25/MWh higher than prior realized pricing on that project (a 15?year busbar PPA), citing improving market fundamentals and a pipeline of recontracting opportunities, particularly for legacy wind assets.
