The Silverfern Group Makes Follow-on Investment into Broad River Power Holdings, an 878MW Dual-Fuel Gas Turbine Electric Power Plant

GAFFNEY, S.C., May 10, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- The Silverfern Group, a leader in global direct investment, today announced that it has completed a follow-on investment into Silverfern portfolio company Broad River Power Holdings, an 878MW dual-fuel, simple-cycle gas turbine electric power plant strategically located 40 miles from Charlotte, North Carolina, in partnership with Arroyo Energy Investors.

"Silverfern is pleased to continue its strong support for our investment partner Arroyo and the Broad River team, as evidenced by our follow-on investment in the Broad River facility," said Silverfern Managing Director Brooks Klimley. "Broad River is a modern, efficient facility that is playing an increasingly important role in the provision of clean, reliable electricity to consumers in North and South Carolina."

Silverfern Co-Managing Partner Clive Holmes added, "The opportunity to expand our investment in Broad River in partnership with Arroyo further demonstrates that by partnering with lead investors with deep industry and local knowledge, we can identify and access value where other investors may not be able to do so. Capturing this value on investment allows Silverfern to potentially deliver a higher return to our investors than might otherwise be commensurate with the risk underwritten in an infrastructure investment such as Broad River."

The Broad River investment represents Silverfern's fifth portfolio follow-on investment in the past 18 months.
