Transactions and agreements
Acquisition As Part Of Portfolio Transaction
Feb 2022
Bergen Generating Station was identified as one of the fossil facilities PSEG was selling to ArcLight. Parkway Generation, LLC, an ArcLight subsidiary, closed the acquisition of PSEG's broader 4.8 GW portfolio on February 18, 2022. The disclosed $1.37 billion portfolio purchase price and $1.14 billion portfolio debt financing were not allocated to Bergen Generating Station, so no asset-specific amount is reported.
