Capital Power has agreed to sell a 49% interest in two of its Canadian wind facilities to Axium Infrastructure.

The transaction, expected to be worth $340m, includes the Quality Wind facility in British Columbia and the Port Dover and Nanticoke wind facility in Ontario, which together have a capacity of 246MW.

The two wind facilities, which are fully contracted with investment-grade counterparties, have a remaining weighted average contract life of 11 years.

Capital Power will continue to manage and operate the assets under a long-term asset management agreement, maintaining its role in the partnership.

The sale is in line with Capital Power’s strategy to realise a levered equity return that surpasses its capital allocation thresholds. This move is expected to enhance the company’s financial flexibility.

Capital Power Canada senior vice-president Jason Comandante stated: “We are proud to announce this asset sell-down transaction which represents a concrete instance of us unlocking asset value in alignment with our strategy.

An Axium Infrastructure fund will pay approximately $340 million to acquire a 49 per cent stake in two large Canadian wind power generation facilities from Capital Power Corp. (CPX-T), the firms announced Wednesday morning.

The 246-megawatt portfolio includes the Quality Wind facility in British Columbia and the Port Dover and Nanticoke Wind facility in Ontario, which are both fully operational. Upon closure of the transaction, it will represent one of the largest renewable energy facility transactions in the country during 2024.

“We are proud to announce this asset sell-down transaction which represents a concrete instance of us unlocking asset value in alignment with our strategy,” Jason Comandante, Power Capital’s senior vice-president and head of Canada, said in the announcement. “Our partnership with Axium, a well-respected investor, speaks to the market’s recognition of Capital Power as a top-tier operator and developer.”

Edmonton-based Capital Power reports the two wind facilities are fully contracted with investment-grade firms and have a remaining weighted average contract life of approximately 11 years.

Capital Power to operate the facilities

The Quality Wind facility in northeastern B.C. has an installed capacity of 142 megawatts. It was completed in 2013. The Port Dover and Nanticoke wind facility in southern Ontario was completed in 2012 and has an installed capacity of 104 megawatts.

As per the partnership terms, Capital Power will continue to manage and operate the assets under a long-term asset management agreement. 

Capital Power says the transaction represents a return which exceeds its capital allocation thresholds, and enhances the company’s financial flexibility.

“We are very pleased to establish a partnership with Capital Power,” Axium’s vice-president and senior investment director Elio Gatto said in the announcement. “This…

A Canadian soldier deployed to Europe has died of medical complications.

The Canadian Armed Forces says Lt.-Col. Kent Miller was serving in Casteau, Belgium, when he died Monday.

It says he was serving under Operation Unifier, an Armed Forces program that trains Ukrainian military and security personnel in battlefield tactics and advanced military skills.

The military says Miller was an engineering officer with 24 years of experience in the Armed Forces.

It added that he was most recently the commanding officer of 41 Combat Engineer Regiment in Alberta and had been deployed to Belgium in a planning and co-ordination capacity.

Lt.-Gen. Steve Boivin, commander of the Canadian Joint Operations Command, said in a statement that Miller was a father and husband and his loss would be felt by many.

Science is important, but people must be at the center of Chesapeake cleanup effort

Fishing at Sandy Point State Park, MD

With the Chesapeake Bay Bridge looming in the distance, a father and son fish from a jetty at Maryland’s Sandy Point State Park.

Steve Droter/Chesapeake Bay Program

The Chesapeake Bay Program’s Scientific and Technical Advisory Committee (STAC) was formed in December 1984 to provide independent scientific and technical advice to the state-federal Bay Program partnership. It does so through a combination of technical reports, workshops, discussions, reviews and participation on committees. It also serves as a liaison between the region’s scientific community and Bay Program partners, ensuring close cooperation among and between the various research institutions and agencies involved with the Bay cleanup.

I have been a member of STAC for 14 years and it has been my privilege to serve as its chair for the past year. My colleagues on the committee are a great group of about 40 dedicated environmental scientists and engineers from across the Chesapeake region, some appointed by governors, some representing federal agencies and some chosen through a rigorous nomination and appointment procedure. They have widely varied backgrounds and expertise but are united by their dedication to applying the best possible science toward restoration of the Bay and its watershed. Serving on STAC has been one of the highlights of my career.

In addition to its usual activities, STAC has focused on two extraordinary tasks in recent years. In 2023, we published our Comprehensive Evaluation of System Response (CESR) report, based on a rigorous multi-year examination of the status and trajectory of Bay Program efforts to date. STAC has also worked closely over the past year and a half with the Bay Program’s Beyond 2025 Steering Committee to look ahead at Bay restoration work. The CESR report has been well-received and extensively used in…

Melvin G romps to sixth straight win in DSBF prelim – U.S. Trotting News

Dover, DE — Legacy Racing of Delaware and Nanticoke Racing’s Melvin G rolled to his sixth consecutive victory on Tuesday (Nov. 19) at Bally’s Dover, leaving his five rivals well behind en route to a 1:57.2 score in the faster of two $20,000 second-round divisions of the Delaware Standardbred Breeders’ Fund series for 2-year-old male trotters.

With two horses breaking stride before the start, Melvin G and driver Jim Morand only had three rivals to contend with at race’s outset, and they pushed through at the pegs to seat Perfect Suprise (Pat Berry) in the pocket through a :29 first quarter. After rating a :58.4 half, Melvin G began to pull away from the others, extending his margin to 2-1/2 lengths at three-quarters in 1:28 before passing the winning post five lengths clear of the late-gaining Legend Of Rock (Corey Callahan) while geared down. Perfect Suprise faded to third.

Melvin G coasted to his sixth consecutive win in Tuesday’s second-round DSBF action at Bally’s Dover. Fotowon photo.

Les Givens trains Melvin G, an E L Platinum-Jersey Punk gelding whose sixth win from nine starts pushed him over $100,000 in lifetime earnings. He paid $2.10 to win as the 1-20 favorite.

The first division saw second-time starter Yale and trainer-driver Art Stafford Jr. narrowly hold off Chex Check for a 1:58.4 win.

After finishing third to Melvin G on debut last week, Yale sustained a two-wide push through the first turn to work clear of Wolfpack Cheddar (Callahan) past a :28.4 first quarter before yielding for the pocket with a circuit to go. The E L Platinum-Press Corp colt pulled the pocket past three-quarters in 1:29, reeled in Wolfpack Cheddar, and evaded a late push from Chex Check (Tony Morgan) up the…

Bay Connection Helps Small Delaware Town Afford Big Redevelopment Plans

This is the fourth blog in a series about the great clean water work that is happening upriver in West Virginia, Delaware, and other states that don’t directly border the Bay. Much of the funding and resources for this critical work are only made possible through the landmark 40-year Bay partnership, a collaborative effort between states, the federal government, and local partners to reduce pollution and restore habitats across our remarkable watershed.

Growing up near Laurel, Delaware, Jamie Smith rarely thought about the Chesapeake Bay. In fact, she had no idea that Broad Creek, the waterway that runs through the small town, was a Bay tributary.

“I thought ok, it’s the Broad Creek. It goes into the Nanticoke River and beyond that I didn’t know. I didn’t think about ‘where’s the Nanticoke River going?’” she said.

Map shows the Nanticoke River watershed in Maryland and Delaware, with Broad Creek connecting to the Nanticoke, and the Nanticoke flowing into the Chesapeake Bay.

Chesapeake Bay Foundation

Nor do most Laurel residents, she figures. But as town manager, Smith knows that Laurel’s connection to the Bay is more than geographic. It’s the foundation—and a key funding source—for the town’s ambitious waterfront redevelopment plan called The Ramble.

The sweeping initiative aims to revitalize Laurel by attracting residents, visitors, and local businesses to Broad Creek’s banks. But that wasn’t the original goal. It started as, and remains, a plan that uses green infrastructure to reduce polluted runoff into Broad Creek, the Nanticoke River, and ultimately the Chesapeake Bay.

One reason the struggling town can afford to pursue its lofty vision is its connection to the Bay. The Ramble provides a blueprint…
