  • 95% of our power generation is "clean power".

Demonstrated Operating Performance of Projects

  • Assets have demonstrated a stable track record of consistent electrical power generation and high project availability and reliability.
  • Efficient portfolio of power generating facilities with average remaining useful lives in excess of 9 years.

Stable Long-Term Contracts with Strong, Diverse Utility Customers

Strong In-House Operations and Partnerships with Experienced Operators

  • Projects not operated in house are operated and maintained through strong partnerships with recognized third party operators in the independent power industry.

Strong Position to Access North American Growth Opportunities

  • Joint ventures with power development companies is a strong focus of our growth strategy, as it provides proprietary access to a pipeline of late-stage development projects.
