Stonepeak acquired a 100% ownership interest in Canal 1&2 from a subsidiary of GenOn Energy, Inc. in June 2018. Canal 1 is a residual oil-filed unit that went into service in 1968 and Canal 2 dual-fuel unit that went into service in 1976, and together the units represent a total of 1,124 MW of oil and natural gas fired generating capacity. The Canal 1, 2 & 3 site is located in Sandwich, Massachusetts on the Cape Cod Canal.
Together with Canal 3, Canal 1 & 2 form the 2nd largest single-site fossil-fuel generation site in the region, allowing the Canal site to enjoy substantial economies of scale in the premier New England power market where existing resources benefit from higher on-peak and capacity prices relative to other regions and significant barriers to entry by new resources.
