Clearway Energy, a clean energy developer, joins E‑ffiliates
Clearway Energy Group, which develops, owns, and operates a fleet of clean energy projects across the United States, has joined Princeton E‑ffiliates Partnership.
Clearway’s portfolio comprises approximately 11.8 gigawatts (GW) of generating capacity in 26 states, including wind, solar, and battery energy storage, as well as flexible dispatchable power generation providing critical grid reliability services. The company has an operating fleet that generates enough electricity to power more than 2 million homes.
As an E-ffiliates member, Clearway is eager to inspire Princeton students to pursue career pathways in the energy sector. They will also have the opportunity to collaborate with a wide array of scientists and engineers across campus. Since Clearway is a full-scope development and operations platform, the partnership will provide new opportunities for Andlinger Center researchers to explore the complete lifecycle of development and implementation for sustainable energy solutions.
“We are thrilled to be joining the E-ffiliates program and look forward to finding innovative collaborative opportunities and working with researchers at every career stage at the Andlinger Center,” said Steve Ryder, EVP and CFO of Clearway Energy Group.
Chris Greig, the associate director for external partnerships at the Andlinger Center, added that Clearway’s breadth of operations offers a wide range of opportunities to collaborate.
“As a proud Princeton alumnus, Clearway’s CEO, Craig Cornelius, was attracted to E-ffiliates by the Andlinger Center’s leadership in clean energy research and our policy-relevant energy transitions research,” said Greig, who is also the Theodora D. ’78 & William H. Walton III ’74 Senior Research Scientist in the Andlinger Center for Energy and the Environment. “They have already been willing guest contributors to the Rapid Switch project, and we look forward to working with them throughout the wider ecosystem of research at the Andlinger Center.”
