- Financing summary: PSEG Power announced the two-unit, 1,186 MW combined-cycle project in July 2000 at an estimated cost of $590 million. In August 2021, PSEG agreed to sell its 6,750 MW fossil portfolio to ArcLight affiliates for approximately $1.92 billion, subject to adjustments. On 2022-02-18, Parkway Generation closed its acquisition of a 4.8 GW portfolio from PSEG for $1.37 billion; the acquisition was financed with $1.14 billion of senior secured institutional term-loan facilities. S&P described the proposed structure as a $1.0 billion term loan B, $140 million term loan C, and $100 million revolving credit facility, with Morgan Stanley, Jefferies, BNP Paribas, and Goldman Sachs as lead arrangers and Morgan Stanley as administrative agent. These are portfolio-level figures rather than a disclosed Linden-specific sale price. — ArcLight Reaches Agreement with PSEG to Acquire Generation Units · confidence: medium

## Data quality

- Published capacity figures use different scopes: NJDEP describes four combined-cycle combustion-turbine units totaling approximately 1,186 MW, CAMS describes the Linden CC portion as 1,300 MW, and an EIA state table lists Linden Generating Station at 1,636.2 MW; the broader station also includes combustion-turbine resources. This record is for the EIA 2406 Linden Generating Station associated with Parkway Generation and PSEG Fossil, not the separate 972 MW Linden Cogen Holdings cogeneration complex described in other project sources. The $590 million figure is the announced construction-project cost, while the $1.92 billion and $1.37 billion figures relate to different portfolio-level sale transactions; neither is a standalone Linden purchase price.
