North Sky Exits Investment in New Jersey Solar Portfolio
Boston, MA – North Sky Capital (“North Sky”), a pioneer in impact investing, is pleased to announce its second sustainable infrastructure fund has successfully exited a portfolio of four commercial and industrial solar projects developed by KDC Solar. KDC Solar is one of the largest private developers, owners and operators of commercial and industrial-scale power generation assets in New Jersey. North Sky sold the portfolio to a large aggregator of solar assets.
The projects began operating between June and December 2019, totaling 34.5 MWdc across four sites in New Jersey. The portfolio’s projects – the largest being a 23.5 MWdc fixed ground mount and solar canopy at Six Flags Great Adventure Amusement Park – align with UN Sustainable Development Goals 7 (affordable and clean energy), 8 (decent work and economic growth) and 11 (sustainable cities and communities). GoldenSet Capital Partners served as a sub-advisor on the investment.
North Sky’s Sustainable Infrastructure Fund II financed the development and construction of a variety of projects involved in clean energy generation across solar, wind and hydropower, as well as energy storage. The investment in and sale of the KDC portfolio demonstrates North Sky’s ability to invest in projects that provide longevity and superior financial returns while establishing itself as a leader in the sustainable infrastructure sector.
