True Green Capital Management LLC (TGC) recently announced the sale of a 79-megawatt portfolio of 28 operating solar projects located in New Jersey, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, and Tennessee.
The projects in the portfolio sell energy and environmental benefits to various utilities, municipalities, and corporations. The portfolio produces nearly 100 gigawatt-hours of renewable energy annually.
The projects come from TGC’s earlier private equity funds, with capital invested between 2011 and 2016. For each of the 28 assets, TGC originated, the project financed, oversaw construction and operations, and risk-managed the environmental commodities and power.
Panos Ninios, TGC’s Managing Partner, said, “With this transaction we are pleased to have largely exited our private equity Fund I and II portfolios, delivering an attractive return to our Limited Partners while demonstrating TGC’s execution capabilities across the full asset cycle, during the last decade.”
“This sale is a proof-of-concept of TGC’s ongoing strategy of constructing portfolios of distributed solar assets with diversified cash flows,” said Chris Kirkman, Managing Director at TGC.
KeyBanc Capital Markets and Kirkland & Ellis LLP represented TGC in connection with this transaction.
