Factors that might cause such differences include, but are not limited to, risks related to the expected timing and likelihood of completion of the tender offer for the shares of Saeta Yield, S.A. (“Saeta”), including the timing or receipt of any governmental approvals, risks related to our financing of the transaction, including our ability to issue equity on terms that are accretive to our shareholders and our ability to implement our permanent funding plan, risks related to the integration of Saeta and realization of the benefits of the transaction, risks related to the number of the shares of Saeta that are tendered, including the risk that we are unable to acquire all of the shares of Saeta and are subject to minority shareholder protection rights, the risk that any announcement of the transaction could have on an adverse impact on the market price of our common stock, risks related to entering new international jurisdictions, including related to our increased exposure to foreign currency fluctuation and risks and costs associated with the hedging of the Euro, risks related to Brookfield sponsorship, including our ability to realize the expected benefits of the transaction with Brookfield, risks related to wind conditions at our wind assets or to eather conditions at our solar assets, risks related to potential events of default at our project financings, risks related to delays in our filing of periodic reports with the SEC, risks related to the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting, pending and future litigation, our ability to integrate the projects we acquire from third parties or otherwise and realize the anticipated benefits from such acquisitions, the willingness and ability of counterparties to fulfill their obligations under offtake agreements, price fluctuations, termination provisions and buyout provisions in offtake agreements, our ability to enter into contracts to sell power on acceptable prices and terms, including as our offtake agreements expire, our ability to successfully identify, evaluate and consummate acquisitions, government regulation, including compliance with regulatory and permit requirements and changes in market rules, rates, tariffs, tax rules, environmental laws and policies affecting renewable energy, operating and financial restrictions placed on us and our subsidiaries related to agreements governing indebtedness, the condition of the debt and equity capital markets and our ability to borrow additional funds and access capital markets, as well as our substantial indebtedness and the possibility that we may incur additional indebtedness going forward, cash trapped at the project level, including the risk that such project-level cash may not be released up to us in a timely manner, risks related to the proposed relocation of our headquarters, our ability to compete against traditional and renewable energy companies, and hazards customary to the power production industry and power generation operations, such as unusual weather conditions and outages. TerraForm Power disclaims any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions, factors, or expectations, new information, data, or methods, future events, or other changes, except as required by law. The foregoing list of factors that might cause results to differ materially from those contemplated in the forward-looking statements should be considered in connection with information regarding risks and uncertainties which are described in TerraForm Power’s Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2016 including the risk factors identified therein, as well as additional factors it may describe from time to time in other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission. You should understand that it is not possible to predict or identify all such factors and, consequently, you should not consider any such list to be a complete set of all potential risks or uncertainties. The information presented in this presentation does not represent a complete picture of the financial position, results of operation or cash flows of TerraForm Power, is not a replacement for full financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, this presentation contains projections of TerraForm Power’s CAFD and proforma CAFD figures giving effect to the Saeta transaction, which are not measures under generally accepted accounting principles in the United States. TerraForm Power believes these measures are useful to investors but the use of these measures is subject to inherent limitations and these measures should not be considered in isolation from or as a substitute for the applicable U.S. GAAP measure.

11 Saeta Acquisition | Spanish Tariff Summary Mitigant Description Tariff Deficit Under Control • Historical deficit debt being repaid (€2.5 billion/year) with current power system annual surplus of ~€500 million1 Revision Dynamics • Regulation allows government discretion over revision parameters (i.e., spread over 10-yr bond) every 6-years to set a “reasonable rate of return” European Renewables Targets • Reduction in regulated returns would compromise 8 GW2 of new greenfield projects awarded at 2017 auctions Lawsuits from 2014 Reform • Government has already created reserves to address future settlements stemming from lawsuits from 2014 subsidy reform • Spanish regulated return is a key value driver, but existing risks have been effectively mitigated ‒ Spanish revenues account for ~80% of total Saeta revenues and are 100% regulated ‒ Regulated return revisions every 6-years with next revision in 2020 ‒ Underwriting assumes a downward revision by 2020 • Risk of downward revision in 2020 of regulated return is mitigated by: 1.

12 • Regulatory regime remunerates renewables through a guaranteed return on deemed investment (RAB model) to be revised every 6 years based on Spanish bond plus a spread ‒ Regulated return takes into account the economic cycle, electricity demand, and Spanish treasury bond outlook, providing a “reasonable return” for these activities ‒ Revised every 6 years, with the next review due in 2020 • Remuneration comprises a capacity payment (€/MW) on top of merchant revenues and is determined by applying the regulated return to the Net Asset Value (NAV) of a theoretical reference plant ‒ NAV is based on standard cost and generation parameters of an average plant differentiated by region and COD ‒ Capacity top-up value is the difference between merchant revenues forecasted by the regulator and the total revenues required to reach regulated returns • Determined ex-ante and valid for a 6-year period with minor look-back adjustments in year 3 to account for difference between power price and peaking discount outturn versus government forecasts Saeta Acquisition | Spanish Tariff Mechanics Market Payment Component Regulated Payment Component Electricity Sold @ Pool Remuneration to Investment (Rinv) top-up payment over electricity sales, to reach guaranteed RoR Regulated Revenues • Paid in hourly market • Renewable facilities sell electricity to the market • Received on a monthly basis: Fixed amount per installed capacity (€/MW) • Intended to cover investment costs that cannot be recovered through the sale of electricity to the market in order to reach the guaranteed regulated return Exhibit 99.2


 
13 Saeta Acquisition | Spanish Tariff Debt Overview Historical Tariff Deficit / Surplus and cumulated debt (€bn)1 Source: Spanish Regulator (CNMC) • Spain’s electricity tariff debt, which peaked in 2013, has since enjoyed a surplus as system costs have now been brought in line with revenues ‒ Spain’s tariff debt accumulated through 2013 as full system costs were not passed through to consumers ‒ From 2013 to 2015, the Government implemented four key measures to rebalance system costs and revenues • Moratoria on subsidies for new renewables since early 2012 • Increased access tariffs to consumers • Cutting tariffs and subsidies: (i) reductions of subsidies to renewable and cogeneration plants by replacing feed-in-tariffs with a regulated return model; (ii) a downward revision to returns for distribution and transmission assets; (iii) and cuts to capacity payments to conventional generators • New taxes: (i) generation tax on all generators, (ii) tax on gas/coal commodities, (iii) technology-specific taxes for nuclear and hydro 1.
