Benoit Allehaut, director of Capital Dynamics' Clean Energy Infrastructure team, said: “This agreement was a unique opportunity for us to acquire a meaningful pipeline of solar capacity in an efficient project development structure within a market poised for growth. Tenaska has historically been one of the most successful developers of electric generation and a close partner of Capital Dynamics on several existing projects. We are excited to be expanding our partnership and offer clean energy power through long-term supply contracts to customers in the Midwest.”

Capital Dynamics’ Clean Energy Infrastructure team is the second-largest owner of PV projects in the US and manages around US$4.9 billion in assets and 3.1GW in its current portfolio.

Steve Johnson, senior vice president in Tenaska's strategic development & acquisition group, added: “Tenaska has a proven record of success in solar development, and we are excited to pair our development skills with Capital Dynamics' capital origination and structuring capability.”
