Monkey Momentum Index Score: 9.1/10 🍌
Maurice has been obsessively tracking renewable energy outputs while installing solar panels on his banana storage facility. His deep dive into clean power generation has him rethinking his entire fruit preservation system.
Breaking down the Clean Energy Score:

Late one night in his research treehouse, Maurice was spotted doing something unusual – he was arranging miniature wind turbines and solar panels made entirely from banana peels. What could have our primate analyst so excited about renewable energy?
You see, while everyone’s chasing flashy new clean tech startups, Maurice has discovered something more reliable – a company that owns and operates actual renewable power plants with long-term contracts. “Ook ook!” he exclaims, pointing to his elaborate model of their energy portfolio.
Enter Clearway Energy (NYSE: CWEN), a company that has Maurice doing backflips in the research department. They’re not developing new technology; they’re generating steady cash flows from existing clean energy assets. It’s like having a banana plantation that produces reliable harvests regardless of market conditions!
But here’s what really got Maurice excited – their business model. He spent three days building a miniature power grid to demonstrate how Clearway’s contracted assets provide predictable revenues. Using his banana-based economics, he shows how these long-term agreements create stability sweeter than perfectly ripe fruit.
The dividend aspect had Maurice doing his special “yield dance.” While arranging bananas to represent quarterly payments, he demonstrates how Clearway offers both reliable income and growth potential. “It’s like having a banana tree that produces more fruit every year!” he gestures enthusiastically.
Speaking of growth, Maurice spent all morning analyzing their expansion pipeline. Using different colored bananas to represent various project types, he shows how their relationship with parent company Clearway Energy Group provides a steady stream of new opportunities. It’s like having first pick of the ripest bananas!
But what really had Maurice bouncing off the walls was their diverse portfolio. He built a map out of banana peels showing their wind farms, solar facilities, and thermal plants spread across multiple states. This geographic and technological diversity provides more stability than Maurice’s most balanced fruit diet.
The financial structure made Maurice’s calculator overheat. Their contracted revenues and strong parent backing provide stability, while their expanding renewable portfolio offers growth potential. Plus, the clean energy transition creates tailwinds stronger than those that blow through Maurice’s treehouse.
Of course, no investment is without risk – something Maurice demonstrates by showing us a slightly bruised banana. Interest rate changes can impact yieldcos, and project delays can occur. But their diversified portfolio and essential service nature provide some protection against market volatility.
The Bottom Line:
While most clean energy investors chase the next big breakthrough, Clearway shows that sometimes the best opportunities lie in operating existing assets. As Maurice demonstrates through his banana-powered models, sometimes steady cash flows beat exciting promises.

While Maurice’s Monkey Momentum Index™ and banana-based technical analysis have shown mysterious accuracy, they should never be considered financial advice. All investment decisions should be made in consultation with qualified financial professionals, not monkeys – no matter how impressive their fruit-throwing abilities may be. For real financial advice, please consult your financial advisor, who probably doesn’t accept bananas as payment.
