Share

I Squared Capital, through its ISQ Global Infrastructure Fund I, announced today that it has reached an agreement to sell its hydropower platform, Cube Hydro Partners and its affiliate, Helix Partners (taken together, Cube Hydro), to Ontario Power Generation (OPG) through its U.S. hydroelectric platform. Cube Hydro owns 385 megawatts of hydro capacity on ten river systems in five states, with 19 small to mid-sized, run-of-the-river and peaking hydro plants.

“This is the third portfolio company realization in the last twelve months based on the I Squared Capital platform approach, with a total of over $2.8 billion in realized enterprise value,” said Sadek Wahba, Chairman and Managing Partner of I Squared Capital.

The other two platforms developed and recently sold by I Squared Capital include Lincoln Clean Energy (a leading onshore wind developer in the U.S. with 800 megawatts) to Ørsted, and Amplus Solar (the preeminent provider of rooftop solar systems for the Indian commercial and industrial market with over 344 megawatts) to Petronas.

“With the sale of Cube Hydro, I Squared Capital is at the forefront of infrastructure platform building and we look to develop further platforms across different sectors and regions,” added Sadek Wahba.

The transaction is expected to close in the coming months following standard regulatory approvals.

Centerview Partners acted as financial advisor and Sidley Austin LLP, Troutman Sanders LLP, and David Polk & Wardwell LLP served as legal counsel to I Squared Capital on this transaction.
