BETHESDA, Md., March 29, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Hull Street Energy, LLC ("Hull Street Energy") has acquired the Bayswater and Jamaica Bay natural gas-fired electric generating stations from a subsidiary of NextEra Energy Resources, LLC. The two facilities are in Far Rockaway, New York and provide approximately 110 megawatts of highly flexible, fast start power generation capacity to the region.
Hull Street Energy was established to deploy capital into the North American power sector as the grid transitions to a more sustainable asset base. The Bayswater and Jamaica Bay facilities and employees will be high-quality additions to Hull Street Energy's portfolio of critical power infrastructure. Through this acquisition, the firm will be able to help support the state, local community and other stakeholders integrate new variable renewable energy resources and meet regional reliability standards, as New York works to achieve its goal of supplying half of its electricity needs from clean renewable energy resources by 2030.
Hull Street Energy affiliates own 21 renewable, gas-fired, and dual-fueled power generation stations providing electrical service to the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic and Western United States markets.
Troutman Sanders LLP and Hogan Lovells LLP acted as legal counsel to Hull Street Energy on the transaction.
