Radial Power Announces 22.3 MW Community Solar Acquisition from Galehead Development

NEW YORK, Aug. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Radial Power today announced the acquisition of four community solar projects totaling 22.3 megawatts (MW) from Galehead Development ("Galehead").  The projects are located in the state of New York and are qualified for the Value of Distributed Energy Resources ("VDER") program. Following the closing of each transaction, Radial Power will oversee the final development and construction of the projects.

The VDER program is a key component of New York's transition to a more sustainable and resilient energy system. The transaction underscores both Radial Power's and Galehead's commitments to advancing renewable energy and supporting the state's clean energy goals. Galehead developed these projects while working closely with local community members and National Grid to achieve approvals and establish long-term cost-saving benefits to local customers, communities, and utilities.

Galehead owns and will continue to manage the land assets for 14 MWs of the portfolio under its Century LandCo. Galehead and Radial Powers framework agreement includes an incremental 18.3 MW of VDER community solar capacity anticipated to close before year end.

"This transaction highlights our shared dedication to providing thoughtful siting, real estate financing and development solutions to meet ambitious renewable energy targets. We are thrilled to collaborate with Radial Power on the successful commercialization of this portfolio" said Galehead CEO Matt Marino.

"Radial Power is proud to advance New York's energy transition with this portfolio of reliable, emissions-free solar power projects," said Radial Power CEO John Bates.
