Perennial, a subsidiary of Sumitomo Corp. of Americas, is also searching for additional investors to participate in the transaction. The additional investor can participate by acquiring a minority interest in Perennial, which will then purchase additional equity interests in the power plant. The parties are asking the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission to approve the transaction no later than Nov. 26, according to an Oct. 11 application.

In the application to FERC, its summer rating was stated as 856 MW. Macquarie Infrastructure Partners currently owns 73% of the plant, while Siemens AG subsidiary Siemens Financial Services Inc. holds the remaining 27%, according to S&P Global Market Intelligence.
