As of last month, a New York based company with intentions set on capitalizing off of the new found market swing toward renewable energy, will be eyeballing a $100 million initial public offering. SolWind Renewable Power LP was organized to take control of solar and wind power assets in order to use these tools to further the growth of reusable energy sources around the world. Currently, this Master Limited Partnership does not hold any assets but plans to use the proceeds from the IPO to take interest in a portfolio that holds wind and solar assets. This portfolio has the power equivalent of 184.6 megawatts of generating capacity in the United States, Puerto Rico and Canada. Also in the crosshairs for SolWind Renewable are additional renewable energy assets that have close to 1,100 megawatts of generation capacity across Japan, Mexico, the United Kingdom, U.S, and Puerto Rico. Further optimism for the renewable energy market is the falling prices during the entry to market process as well as governmental incentives. Such price drops should help to spur the influx of investment in the market. Their aim for future growth includes planning for continued investment in solar and wind power assets in countries with low legal and political risk, with projects that are near completion to optimize their investment. The announcement comes at the end of a year that saw many MLP’s in the energy sector coming out with IPO’s. Many of these IPO’s saw less than expected price targets so as of late, banks have been setting initial prices lower than previously stated. As for the state of this MLP’s IPO, we are yet to see. The underwriters for the IPO are UBS investment Bank and Citigroup. One thing is for certain with the recent influx of renewable energy companies and the focus on this emerging market, alternatives to oil are well on their way. http://www.law360.com/articles/607305/renewableenergymlpsolwindeyes100mipo
