SAN DIEGO, November 13, 2014 – Equal Earth, a diversified renewable company, today announced that it signed an exclusive agreement to acquire a 5 MW solar photovoltaic farm in Ohio. The project has a long-term PPA with a municipal utility and the deal is expected to close before year-end.

The transaction is the latest in a series of recent acquisitions and the deal augments Equal Earth's existing portfolio of renewable energy assets. The deal is part of the firm's broader growth strategy involving acquisition of long-term revenue-generating projects with low operational costs to generate predictable future cash flows and attractive after-tax returns.

"Solar continues to offer compelling investment opportunities and this project is another example," said Equal Earth Chairman, President and CEO, Andrew Duggan. "We view this transaction as a long-term win for our investors and we expect it to deliver the types of returns renewable energy investors are seeking," added Duggan.
