The project involves a 20-year power purchase agreement with PacifiCorp, a subsidiary of Berkshire Hathaway Energy.

Dominion will invest around US$500 million in order to acquire 50% of the cash equity and 99% tax equity in the Four Brothers project, and to fund construction.

Meanwhile SunEdison will provide US$150 million through a four-year term loan with Deutsche Bank.

The plant generates around US$40 million of unlevered cash available for distribution (CAFD) to Dominion and SunEdison.

SunEdison’s 50% interest in Four Brothers is on the Call Right Projects List for Terraform Power, SunEdison’s yieldco.

Paul Gaynor, executive vice president of SunEdison EMEA and Americas said: “This partnership represents a major investment in the Utah economy and creates both local jobs and steady income for the state from property and other taxes.”
