Robbins LLP Alerts Investors About the XPLR Infrastructure LP Class Action Lawsuit Filed in 2025

Overview of the Class Action Lawsuit Against XPLR Infrastructure LP

On March 12, 2025, Robbins LLP announced an important update for investors regarding XPLR Infrastructure LP, formerly known as NextEra Energy Partners, LP. A class action lawsuit was filed for all shareholders who purchased or acquired XPLR securities between January 26, 2021, and January 27, 2025. This legal action highlights serious allegations related to misleading disclosures made by the company's management, which ultimately led to significant financial losses for investors.

Background of XPLR Infrastructure LP

XPLR Infrastructure LP specializes in acquiring and managing contracted clean energy projects in the United States. The company's portfolio includes various renewable energy projects such as wind, solar, and battery storage, reflecting a commitment to sustainable energy solutions. In an important shift, XPLR rebranded from NextEra Energy Partners, LP in January 2025, signaling a new direction for the organization amid ongoing operational challenges.

The Allegations

Robbins LLP's investigation revealed alarming allegations that XPLR misled investors about its yieldco business model. Allegedly, the following points were concealed from shareholders during the class action period:

1. Operational Struggles: XPLR faced significant difficulties maintaining its operational framework as a yieldco, a model designed for stable energy cash flow.
2. Improper Risk Management: To temporarily alleviate operational issues, the company engaged in CEPF (Contractual Equity Participation Financing) arrangements. However, these arrangements came with associated risks that were downplayed during communications with investors.
3. Financial Mismanagement: It was claimed that XPLR could not acquire CEPFs before their maturity dates without risking significant dilution of unit holders' investments.
4. Suspension of Cash Distributions: Mismanagement led to plans of halting cash distributions to investors to instead channel funds toward potential buyouts of CEPF commitments.
5. Unsustainable Business Model: Together, these issues rendered XPLR's growth within the yieldco framework unsustainable, which was not openly communicated to investors.

The situation came to a head on January 28, 2025, when XPLR announced a critical decision to abandon its yieldco business model, indefinitely suspending cash distributions to its unit holders. This announcement marked a turning point, with the stock price dropping significantly—by $3.97 (25.13%) to a closing price of $11.83 per unit on the same day. In the subsequent trading sessions, the stock continued to decline by a further $1.39 (11.75%), closing at $10.44 on January 30, 2025.
