Northland Power (NPI) is a global renewable energy company focused on offshore wind, onshore renewables, and natural gas facilities. NPI pays monthly distributions that have historically been partially eligible dividends and partly other income or return of capital, depending on project-level cash flows. Offshore wind development risk and international project execution add variability to future distributions.
