Capital Dynamics Clean Energy Infrastructure Team Commences Commercial Operations of Beacon II and V Solar Project

Projects expected to generate 107.8 total MWdc of solar energy

NEW YORK – Capital Dynamics, an independent global asset manager, today announced that its Clean Energy Infrastructure (CEI) Team has achieved commercial operations for its Beacon II and Beacon V Solar Projects in Kern County, California, with an anticipated generation of 107.8 megawatts (MWdc) of solar energy. 

“With the commercial launch of Beacon II and V, we continue to build, operate and expand a strong portfolio of renewable power projects in the US,” said John Breckenridge, Head of the Capital Dynamics’ Clean Energy Infrastructure business. “With our portfolio of 100 project sites, once all projects come online, we will be second among US solar power project owners based on total generational capacity. Consistent with our typical approach, we have secured 100 percent of the offtake, further supporting the renewable power needs of California residents and businesses and providing consistent cash flows to our partners.” 

Capital Dynamics acquired the project from SunEdison in February 2016. 

Having invested in more than 1.5 GW of solar projects since last year, the Capital Dynamics Clean Energy Infrastructure Team is one of the largest specialized renewable investment managers in the world, with more than USD 3.4 billion in AUM and 3.1 GW capacity in its current portfolio (all figures as of October 2017).
