Energy Stocks Yielding Over 6%

High-yield dividend stocks can be a great way for investors to generate cash returns from investing, but they aren't always the most stable, and the high yield itself can mean the market may not think a dividend is sustainable. But not all high-yield stocks are high-risk. Within the energy sector, renewable energy is a great place to find sustainable dividends that will pay investors for decades to come. Here are four investors shouldn't overlook...

Two high-yield stocks of note are Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE:BEP) and TerraForm Power (NASDAQ:TERP). Pattern Energy (NASDAQ:PEGI) is a yieldco that owns wind projects around the world, currently boasting 2,942 MW in its portfolio. NRG Yield (NYSE:NYLD) (NYSE:NYLD-A) is a yieldco that's gone through a major transition, as its original sponsor, NRG Energy, has decided to sell its stake in the company to Global Infrastructure Partners (GIP).
