HOUSTON, TX – June 9, 2011 — Rockland Capital, LLC (“Rockland”) announced today that its affiliate, RC Delta Holdings, LLC is acquiring a managing interest in Gregory Power Partners (“Gregory”), a natural gas-fired power facility located in Gregory, Texas.
Rockland is acquiring the project from an affiliate of Arroyo Energy Investors LLC. Financial terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Gregory, a 400 megawatt cogeneration facility, began commercial operation in 2000 and is located approximately 10 miles from Corpus Christi. It is one of the most efficient natural gas-fired plants in Texas, largely due to its cogeneration configuration with the adjacent Sherwin Alumina facility.
“Rockland feels that Gregory’s competitive operating profile positions it to benefit from the growth expected in the ERCOT market over the next few years,” said Scott Harlan, Managing Partner of Rockland Capital.
“Gregory represents a great opportunity for Rockland. The investment is consistent with our continuing strategy of creating value for investors through the active management and optimization of power generation assets.”
Gregory is the third investment of Rockland Power Partners, the private equity fund currently being invested by Rockland.
