Cube Hydro Partners, LLC, a portfolio company of the ISQ Global Infrastructure Fund, has acquired a 100 percent ownership interest in ten run-of-the-river hydro facilities from Harbor Hydro, LLC, a portfolio company of LS Power Equity Advisors.
Totaling 83 megawatts of generation assets in Pennsylvania, Virginia and West Virginia, the portfolio benefits from favorable hydrology and is scheduled to produce approximately 255 gigawatt-hours of clean, reliable electricity per year.
Following this acquisition, Cube Hydro’s combined assets will generate more than 106 MW of clean, renewable energy.
Kristina Johnson, CEO of Cube Hydro said, “Hydropower is the original renewable source of electricity. We are excited to add these ten plants to our platform.”
“These additional assets allow us to optimize the performance of our existing portfolio and drive long-term value,” said John Collins, Managing Director of Cube Hydro. “Working side-by-side with I Squared Capital over the last year, we have developed a strong team to identify and execute attractive investment opportunities in hydroelectric assets.”
“We are pleased with our hydropower platform’s expansion to a region characterized by dependable river basins, a highly efficient electricity market and a diverse off-taker base,” said Thomas Lefebvre, Managing Director at I Squared Capital. “Cube Hydro is set on a successful growth path to identify attractive assets with the opportunity for future optimization through equipment upgrades and operational improvements.”
