Energy Capital Partners (ECP) has agreed to acquire British renewable energy developer Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure for $2.55 billion.

Atlantica owns a variety of assets including renewable energy, storage, efficient natural gas, power transmission and water resources in the Americas and select EMEA markets.

At the end of March 2024, the company operated renewable power plants with a total capacity of 2.2 GW. In the first quarter of the year, the company recorded revenues of $242.9 million.

Atlantica shareholders will receive $22 in cash for each share they own.

The offer represents a premium of 18.9% to the closing price of Atlantic’s shares on April 22, 2024, the day before media speculation about the transaction appeared.

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp and its subsidiary Liberty (AY Holdings), which collectively own 42.2% of Atlantica, have said they support the acquisition.
