Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company LLC Acquires Five Operating Solar Facilities, comprising 27.8 Megawatts (“MW”) of Generating Capacity, in North Carolina
Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company LLC (“Company”) announced today that on August 21, 2017, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, it signed a purchase agreement to acquire 5 operating ground mounted solar PV systems comprising 27.8 MW located throughout eastern North Carolina (“Raleigh Portfolio”) for approximately $20,500,000. The Raleigh Portfolio was being sold by FTI Capital Advisors, LLC, a capital markets and banking advisor, on the behalf of the current owner Conergy Projects, Inc. The projects were placed in service throughout 2015 and sell power to Duke Energy through a 15 year Power Purchase Agreement (“PPA”) with approximately 13 years currently remaining. The pricing on the PPA is based on time of day production that equals approximately a $0.066/kWh rate with no annual escalations over the contract period. All of the systems qualify for renewable energy credits in North Carolina which are contracted to be sold at $5.00 per MWh during the PPA term while one of the projects also has a contract for $1.00 per MWh for approximately 10 additional years.
