ArcLight Closes Acquisition of 1.9 GW Power Generation Portfolio from PSEG
BOSTON, Feb. 23, 2022 /PRNewswire/ --
On February 23rd, Generation Bridge II, LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of ArcLight Energy Partners Fund VII, L.P., closed the previously announced acquisition of a 1.9 GW power generating portfolio from Public Service Enterprise Group ("PSEG").
Generation Bridge II consists of three facilities in ISO New England and one in New York ISO, and the portfolio is well diversified across markets, technology, and fuel type. The portfolio includes two highly efficient natural gas-fired combined cycles facilities and two peaking facilities that provide capacity, energy and ancillary services to New England and New York.

Commenting on the transaction, Dan Revers, Managing Partner and Founder of ArcLight Capital Partners, LLC ("ArcLight") said, "Generation Bridge II furthers ArcLight's focus in supporting the transition to the energy grid of the future, which we expect to include a complementary mix of renewable resources and reliable, dispatchable resources."
