Calpine Corporation (NYSE:CPN) today completed the sale of the Broad River Energy Center to Broad River Power LLC, an affiliate of Energy Capital Partners LLC, for $427 million plus adjustments, or approximately $504 per kilowatt.
Located in Gaffney, South Carolina, the Broad River Energy Center is an 847 megawatt simple-cycle, natural gas-fired power plant. It began commercial operations in June 2000 and has two long-term power contracts with Carolina Power & Light Co., a subsidiary of Duke Energy Corp.
Calpine announced the planned transaction when it reported its third-quarter earnings in November 2012, and the sale was approved by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission on December 18.
Calpine Corporation generates more electricity than any other independent power producer in America, with a fleet of 93 power plants in operation or under construction, representing approximately 28,000 megawatts of generation capacity. Serving customers in 20 states and Canada, we specialize in developing, constructing, owning and operating natural gas-fired and renewable geothermal power plants that use advanced technologies to generate power in a low-carbon and environmentally responsible manner. Our clean, efficient, modern and flexible fleet is uniquely positioned to benefit from the secular trends affecting our industry, including the abundant and affordable supply of clean natural gas, stricter environmental regulation, aging power generation infrastructure and the increasing need for dispatchable power plants to successfully integrate intermittent renewables into the grid. We focus on wholesale competitive power markets and advocate for market-driven solutions that create transparent forward price signals for investors.
