Castleton Commodities International LLC Acquires a Combined Cycle Power Plant in the Netherlands from InterGen
LONDON–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Castleton Commodities International LLC (โCCIโ or the โCompanyโ) today
announced that it has closed on an acquisition, through one of its
subsidiaries, of a combined cycle power plant (CCGT) located in the port
of Rotterdam, Netherlands from InterGen, a privately held global power
generation and development company. Post the acquisition, CCI will own
and operate approximately 2,000 megawatts of power generation globally.
MaasStroom (or the โfacilityโ) is a 426 megawatt natural gas fired CCGT
that uses a Siemens SGT5-4000F turbine in single shaft configuration,
making it one of the most efficient gas fired power plants in the
Netherlands. The facility supplies power into the TenneT grid, which
manages the high-voltage grid in the Netherlands and large parts of
Germany.
โThe MaasStroom acquisition is an opportunity to increase our activities
in the rapidly changing and attractive European energy markets. We are
also well-positioned to create further value at the facility by
providing ancillary services,โ said Arie Pilo, Executive Director in
CCIโs Origination and Principal Investments group. โWe are pleased to
add this facility to our global power portfolio and remain focused on
seeking additional investment opportunities with a strategic fit.โ
