Hanwha Energy USA Holdings Corporation (HEUH), a subsidiary of Hanwha Energy, announced that HEUH entered into an agreement in mid-February to acquire a natural gas-fired power generation asset in Texas.
"This transaction represents another step in the company’s ongoing strategic expansion into power generation in the U.S.," Hanwha said
The proposed acquisition includes a 324-MW simple-cycle facility located in ERCOT’s West Zone.
Hanwha Energy is an established gas-fired power generation developer in Korea and across Asia. "The planned acquisition builds on the company’s extensive operational expertise in flexible thermal power generation," Hanwha said
"This asset represents a high-quality, flexible generation resource designed to rapidly adjust output in response to demand in one of the fastest-growing power markets in the United States," said Joo Yoon, CEO at HEUH. "Our experience developing and operating gas-fired generation allows us to support reliability and meet the increasing demand in ERCOT."
"The facility is in ERCOT’s West Zone, a region closely connected to the Permian Basin, where abundant natural gas supply and growing industrial activity are driving increased electricity demand," Hanwha said
"The planned acquisition also strengthens Hanwha’s broader U.S. energy platform, which includes Chariot Energy, a Texas-based retail electricity provider," Hanwha said
"This transaction reflects our long-term commitment to the Texas energy market," said Inkyu Park, CEO at Chariot Energy. "Subject to closing, the addition of this asset represents Hanwha’s continued investment in the U.S. market, with this facility benefiting ERCOT energy consumers."
The transaction remains subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close in mid-April.
