Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company LLC, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, has signed the rights to an approximately 110 megawatt portfolio of solar projects located in Greene and Albany counties, New York from Hecate Energy LLC.

The projects will source labor, material, and equipment within New York State. Once operational, the NY Solar Portfolio will generate enough electricity to power approximately 23,000 homes. The portfolio will sell a portion of the renewable energy credits generated to an investment grade off-taker through a 20-year fixed price contract and will sell the remaining portion of energy and REC attributes generated to two utilities through fixed price 20-year contracts.
