About the Albany Green Facility

Worth noting, the Albany Green Energy facility, also known as “AGE,” uses woody biomass from mill residue, forestry waste, recycling, and agricultural waste. Accordingly, the asset provides 50MW of electricity to Georgia Power; it also processes steam to the nearby Procter & Gamble paper products facility; lastly, it processes steam to generate electricity for the nearby U.S. Marine Corps Logistics Base.

As the Ember Infrastructure noted, the facility’s 25 employees will join the ReEnergy team.

In this sense, Elena Savostianova, Managing Partner of Ember, said; “We are very pleased to bring Albany Green Energy onto the ReGenerate platform, as we continue to build a best-in-class bioenergy business.”

Hence, “ReGenerate will leverage the deep expertise and experience of the ReEnergy and Ember teams;” continued Savostianova. Particularly “to manage and optimize this important facility.”

Moreover, with the acquisition, ReGenerate currently owns 137MW of operating biomass power generation across three facilities; for instance, including ReEnergy Stratton and ReEnergy Livermore Falls, both in Maine.

Also, ReGenerate said in a media release that it plans to continue expanding its platform across North America; particularly, to deliver sustainable bioenergy products to utilities, corporations, and other partners.

Accordingly, the Company will utilize ReEnergy’s operational capabilities and both teams’ experience in acquiring and growing renewable energy platforms.
