Abu Dhabi state renewables firm Masdar announced on 1 October that it has closed the acquisition of a 50% stake in US renewables firm Terr-Gen from Energy Capital Partners (ECP) for an undisclosed fee. The deal was first agreed in March, and Terra-Gen has gross operating portfolio of 3.8GW of wind, solar and battery storage projects, including 5.1GWh of energy storage facilities across 30 sites.
