Appointment of New Director
On November 6, 2025, Craig Cornelius was appointed to the Board of Directors (the “Board”) of Sunrun Inc. (the “Company”), effective November 6, 2025. Mr. Cornelius will serve as a Class III director and will stand for reelection at the 2026 annual meeting of stockholders. The Board also appointed Mr. Cornelius to serve on the Audit Committee and the Nominating, Governance, and Sustainability Committee of the Board. In connection with the appointment of Mr. Cornelius, the size of the Board was increased from eight to nine.
Mr. Cornelius has served as President and Chief Executive Officer of Clearway Energy Group LLC (“Clearway”) since September 2018 and as Chief Executive Officer of its public affiliate Clearway Energy, Inc. (“CWEN”), which is publicly traded on the NYSE under the symbols CWEN and NYSE:CWEN.A, since July 2024. His service as Chief Executive Officer of Clearway commenced on the company’s formation through a spin-out of NRG Energy, Inc.’s (“NRG”) clean energy businesses in 2018. Previously, Mr. Cornelius was President of NRG’s renewables division. In this capacity, he oversaw origination, development, engineering and construction, operations and asset management across the company’s businesses in wind and solar power.

Mr. Cornelius holds an A.B. from Princeton University in History of Science and an M.A. in Science, Technology, and Public Policy from George Washington University.
Mr. Cornelius was selected to serve on the Board because of his extensive operational and financial experience and deep knowledge of the energy industry.
