Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company LLC Announces Acquisition of Energy Storage System Portfolio from Stem, Inc.

  • June 17, 2020

Strategic Expansion into Power Optimization Sector Positions Firm to Increase Value for Investors through Enhanced Services for Off-Takers and Consumers in California

New York, NY, June 17, 2020 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Greenbacker Renewable Energy Company LLC (“Greenbacker”) announced today that on June 9, 2020, through a wholly-owned subsidiary, it purchased the rights to Pacifica Storage LLC, a 7.9MW / 16.5MWh portfolio of sixteen operating and to-be-constructed behind-the-meter energy storage systems from Stem, Inc. (“Stem”), the global leader in artificial intelligence (AI)-driven energy storage services. The acquisition marks Greenbacker’s initial strategic expansion into the energy optimization sector, enhancing the services it provides to power off-takers and consumers in California and positioning the firm to increase value for its shareholders.

“Expanding into energy storage is a logical next step in our acquisition strategy,” said Charles Wheeler, CEO of Greenbacker. “Maximizing energy efficiency dovetails perfectly with our core mission of driving returns for shareholders by investing in renewable energy infrastructure, since it allows us to not only reduce carbon emissions through sustainable energy technologies, but enables off-takers to manage their energy costs by reducing their need to draw electricity from the grid during periods of peak demand when prices are typically higher. We look forward to creating additional value for our shareholders and energy customers through this expanded approach. It has been a pleasure working with Stem, a pioneer in the industry, and we will continue to seek opportunities to expand Greenbacker’s presence in this new asset class.”

“We are excited to add Greenbacker as a financing partner in the fast-growing energy storage market, particularly in California,” said John Carrington, CEO of Stem. “Greenbacker represents another new partner for Stem as we look to expand our operating partnerships and increase the deployment of our market leading Athena® AI platform which provides the intelligence and real-time decision making required to optimize the storage system to reduce energy charges for customers.  We look forward to additional partnership opportunities with the Greenbacker team as they build out their storage portfolio.”

Each of the acquired systems will participate in California’s Self Generation Incentive Program, which seeks to drive progress toward a cleaner, distributed-energy future by offering rebates for installing energy storage technology at both residential and non-residential facilities. The systems will serve customers across the state. The portfolio is expected to be fully operational in Q2 2021.

With the acquisition of Pacifica Storage, Greenbacker will own approximately 552.6MW of generating capacity (including assets that are to be constructed), comprising 340.1MW of utility-scale and distributed solar facilities, 192.6MW of wind facilities, 12.0MW of biomass facilities, and 7.9MW of battery storage.
