Strategic Insights -

Scott+Scott Attorneys at Law LLP has filed a securities class action lawsuit against XPLR Infrastructure, LP f/k/a Nextera Energy Partners, LP, and certain of its former and current officers and/or directors. The lawsuit, captioned James Alvrus v. XPLR Infrastructure, LP f/k/a Nextera Energy Partners, LP, et al., Case No. 3:25-cv-01755, alleges that defendants made misleading statements and omissions regarding the company's business, financial condition, and prospects during the class period from September 27, 2023, to January 27, 2025.

Key Takeaways:

  • The lawsuit alleges that XPLR struggled to maintain its operations as a yieldco, and defendants failed to warn investors about the company's unsustainable yieldco business model and distribution growth rate.
  • Defendants allegedly downplayed the risks associated with the company's financing arrangements and planned to halt cash distributions to investors to resolve these financings.
  • On January 28, 2025, XPLR announced that it would suspend entirely cash distributions to common unitholders and essentially abandon its yieldco model, causing a decline of $5.31 per unit, or nearly 35%, in the price of XPLR's common units.
  • The lawsuit seeks to recover damages for all persons who purchased or acquired XPLR common units during the class period and were damaged thereby.
  • The lead plaintiff is a court-appointed representative for absent class members of the Class, and any motion to be appointed lead plaintiff must be filed with the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of California no later than September 8, 2025.

Statistics:

  • The price of XPLR's common units fell from $15.80 per unit on January 27, 2025 to $10.49 per unit on January 29, 2025, a decline of $5.31 per unit, or nearly 35%.
  • The Class Period lasted from September 27, 2023 to January 27, 2025, a duration of approximately 16 months.
  • The lawsuit has been filed in the United States District Court for the Southern District of California, Case No. 3:25-cv-01755.
