Capstone Partners announced that EWP Renewable Corporation (EWPRC) has partnered with a large East Coast financial institution for the sale of the federal production tax credits associated with the renewable energy produced by the Company’s three biomass facilities. Capstone acted as sole financial advisor to EWPRC.
With the structuring complexities inherent in tax equity, the team’s professionalism and tax equity expertise was invaluable throughout this process. We are now well positioned to execute our long-term growth strategy.
EWPRC is a subsidiary of Korea East-West Power (“KEWP”), a $4.0 billion revenue Korean power utility company. EWPRC’s U.S. operations include 165 MW of biomass and cogeneration capacity, and represent KEWP’s first foray into the United States. This transaction enables the Company to fully utilize the value created by operating its US-based renewable power plants.
Ted Kinsman, the transaction lead at Capstone, mentioned, “This closing, the second in 15 months with EWPRC, reflects the results of a close client relationship with a talented management team.”
