GENERATE CAPITAL AND KEYSTATE RENEWABLES’ SOLCAP PLATFORM DELIVER 53.5 MWDC IN COMMUNITY SOLAR ACROSS 11 PROJECTS IN NEW YORK WITH LATEST JOINT TAX EQUITY FACILITY CLOSE

The projects are financed through KeyState’s solar tax credit platform and are expected to produce a combined 76.48 million kWh of solar energy in their first year

Today, Generate Capital (“Generate”), a leading sustainable investment and operating company, and KeyState Renewables (“KeyState”) announced the close of their third joint tax equity facility, Generate NY Community Solar VI, LLC, bringing new sources of solar power to rural New York. The closed facility, which included a $64 million investment from KeyState, was used to build, develop and manage 11 projects in New York, creating 53.5 MWdc of new solar power capacity and improving grid reliability. Three of the eleven projects are in areas where development of renewable energy is incentivized to address higher-than-average unemployment and historic economic reliance on extraction or production of fossil fuels.

The projects, financed through KeyState’s SOLCAP solar tax credit platform, are expected to produce a combined 76.48 million kWh of solar energy in their first year, sufficient to power up to 10,544 homes and reduce greenhouse emissions by 53,429 metric tons of carbon dioxide.

Earlier this year, Generate and KeyState signed a fourth facility to continue their leading community solar investment partnership and bring additional renewable energy assets online.

“Accelerating the sustainable infrastructure transition requires investors to find creative ways to finance and deliver clean energy projects. We are thrilled to continue our work with KeyState on our tax equity partnership for community solar and provide the latest proof of the growing demand for renewable energy investment,” said Peggy Flannery, Managing Director at Generate Capital. “This ongoing partnership has allowed us to continue to scale our community solar assets and better serve our developer, customer, and community stakeholders in New York.”

“KeyState is excited to once again collaborate with Generate and our many regional bank partners to deliver essential renewable energy to New York,” said KeyState CEO Josh Miller. “We look forward to continuing our partnership with Generate and benefiting local communities where these eleven projects are operating.”

To date, KeyState has invested a total of nearly $150 million across three facilities co-managed with Generate. The investment marks Generate’s sixth facility with New York community solar projects and builds on Generate’s successful infrastructure-as-a-service model, which delivers comprehensive financing, construction, and management of clean energy infrastructure. Generate’s infrastructure-as-a-service model is funded through a variety of innovative financing models including new and longstanding tax equity provisions.
