ReEnergy Holdings Completes Acquisition of Biomass-to-Energy Facilities in Maine and New York from Boralex Inc

ALBANY, NY (12/20/2011)(readMedia)-- ReEnergy Holdings LLC, an Albany, NY-based renewable energy company, has acquired a portfolio of five U.S. biomass energy-production facilities in Maine and New York from Quebec-based Boralex Inc., for approximately $88 million.

In November, ReEnergy announced it had reached an agreement with Boralex for the acquisition. The sale closed today.

"We are very excited to complete the acquisition of Boralex's facilities and we welcome their loyal employees to our ReEnergy team. We are also pleased to become a corporate citizen of Maine, where the biomass industry is one of the backbones of the state's economy," said Larry Richardson, ReEnergy's Chief Executive Officer.

The newly acquired facilities in Maine are ReEnergy Ashland (a 40-megawatt facility), ReEnergy Fort Fairfield (36 megawatts), ReEnergy Livermore Falls (40 megawatts) and ReEnergy Stratton (50 megawatts). The New York facility, ReEnergy Chateaugay, has a 20-megawatt generating capacity. The facilities rely principally on forest residue to produce renewable energy.

Tom Beck, ReEnergy's Chief Commercial Officer, said, "We look forward to being an exemplary corporate citizen in these five communities. As we carry out our strategy of building an integrated renewable energy company in the U.S., we are creating economic opportunity, generating clean, reliable, cost-effective renewable energy, and providing it to the communities and businesses in these regions."

Inclusive of this acquisition, ReEnergy will employ approximately 260 employees in four states, and operate a total energy portfolio of 240 megawatts.
