About the company

TerraForm Power owns and operates utility-scale wind, solar, and battery storage assets across North America, and sells renewable energy solutions (including RECs) to customers. TerraForm Power positions the work around operating excellence and growing a renewables portfolio tied to long-term contracted cash flows. Public materials also place TerraForm Power inside Brookfield Renewable’s broader platform, including development acquisitions and expansion work.

Locations and presence

TerraForm Power lists headquarters in New York, NY, and operates assets across multiple U.S. states plus Ontario, Canada. Current internship postings also point to Charlottesville, VA as a recurring on-site location for development-related work.

Palpable Score

61.4

/ 100

TerraForm Power is meaningfully accessible for early-career candidates through paid internships that have real scope and clear requirements. The company also shares compensation ranges on many postings, but the public trail is thinner on structured early-career progression and what happens after the internship.

Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

11.2

/ 20

The company publicly lists multiple paid internships for Summer 2026, including Intern, GIS Analyst and Intern, Finance, which are clear entry points for students and recent grads.
TerraForm Power’s non-intern roles skew mid-to-senior (for example Senior Analyst/Manager Business Development and Manager-level roles), so full-time “first job” options are harder to find than internship options.
The company does not show a consistent set of 0–3 year full-time titles (Analyst, Associate, Junior) across several functions at once, which keeps entry-level access from scoring higher.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

14.8

/ 20

The company routes applicants via a central careers page and formal job-board tooling, plus publishes applicant privacy notices, which signals a more standardised process than ad-hoc hiring.
TerraForm Power’s intern postings are unusually specific and practical, like listing exact responsibilities (ArcGIS mapping, parcel data QA, senior-management presentations) and concrete requirements (ArcGIS experience, degree enrolment).
The company does not publish interview stages, timelines, or assessment-task expectations in the postings reviewed, which makes it tougher for first-time applicants to plan.

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

11.8

/ 20

The company explicitly frames internships around growth language such as “employee development,” “continuous learning,” and being “empowered to take initiative,” which sets a supportive expectation.
TerraForm Power places interns under named senior reporting lines (for example reporting to a Director, Land Origination or a Manager, Finance), which is a practical setup for day-to-day coaching and feedback.
The company does not publicly spell out structured early-career scaffolding like a defined ramp plan, buddy/mentor matching, or review cadence, so support is promising but not fully verifiable from public materials.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

14.8

/ 20

The company publishes clear pay for early-career roles like the Summer 2026 internships at $25/hour, which is a strong fairness baseline for entry-level access.
TerraForm Power frequently includes compensation ranges on experienced roles too (for example Manager and Engineer postings with listed salary bands and “bonus eligible” notes), which helps candidates compare options before applying.
The company’s public postings do not consistently attach a benefits summary in the same place as the job description, so candidates still have to do extra work to confirm the full package.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

8.8

/ 20

The company has stability signals from being part of Brookfield Renewable’s platform and continuing to acquire or develop assets, but that is not the same as proven early-career promotion outcomes.
TerraForm Power has limited recent, detailed employee-review volume that specifically speaks to junior progression, manager quality, and retention over 12–24 months.
The company’s LinkedIn footprint shows an ongoing hiring engine and a mid-sized team, but public sources do not provide clear examples of intern conversion rates or early-career promotions.
