RET Capital acquires 102-MW California wind project

Coram Wind Project

RET Capital has acquired Coram Wind Project, a 102-MW operating wind-energy farm, from BAIF U.S. Renewable Power Holdings.

Renewable Energy Trust Capital Inc. (RET Capital) recently announced the acquisition of Coram Wind Project, an operating 102-megawatt (MW) power plant, from BAIF U.S. Renewable Power Holdings LLC.

The plant is located in Kern County, California, and benefits from long-term contracted revenues through a power purchase agreement with Pacific Gas & Electric Company to provide clean, reliable, and affordable power to the utility.

“RET Capital is pleased to own this large, high-quality asset to anchor its wind portfolio and strategy, and looks forward to growing its business through additional acquisitions of similar wind projects in North America and new markets,” said John A. Bohn, chief executive officer and chairman of RET Capital. With this new acquisition, RET Capital’s total renewable energy portfolio tops 200-MW DC.

RET Capital, which has offices in San Francisco and New York, is building a leading growth and asset management platform for the renewable energy industry. The company collaborates with developers and other industry stakeholders to lower the cost of capital, increase standardization, and facilitate accelerated growth.

RET Capital’s lead investor is BlueMountain Capital Management, an investment firm with approximately $21 billion of assets under management and offices in New York and London.

Just last month, RET Capital announced the close of CAD $66MM of non-recourse debt to support the acquisition of the CityLights solar facility from Canadian Solar in Ontario, Canada.
