DGC furthers environmental sustainability efforts by diversifying its strategic portfolio in clean energy

Diamond Generating Corporation (DGC), a worldwide leader in safe, clean electricity generation and energy services, strengthens its strategic portfolio while accelerating decarbonization efforts, following a $240 million equity investment in DGC subsidiary Nexamp by Generate Capital, Inc. Combined with Nexamp's recent $440 million debt financing round, a total funding of $680 million will expand the company's sustainable energy services to more individuals and businesses.

"Generate has extensive experience in operating and financing sustainable infrastructure. Not only does this investment enable Nexamp to expand its current programming, but we are particularly excited that by working together with Generate we will be able to accelerate the development of innovative new solutions to make clean, resilient, and affordable energy accessible to more customers," shares Nexamp CEO, Zaid Ashai.

A world-class independent power producer in the North American power business and a wholly owned subsidiary of Mitsubishi Corporation, DGC is committed to reducing its carbon footprint and contributing to a shift towards a decarbonized society by diversifying its strategic portfolio through investments in businesses that facilitate this transition.

Following its initial investment in 2016, DGC solidified its support and confidence in Nexamp's solar and energy storage capabilities - including project development and acquisitions, design, construction, and operations - by acquiring a controlling stake in the company. Since the original investment, Nexamp's total portfolio has increased approximately 30X and now serves numerous states across the country.

Becoming a strategic partner of Mitsubishi Corporation allowed Nexamp to grow remarkably, tripling its workforce in less than 3 years and building a stronger clean energy platform. Combined with new projects in the works, Nexamp currently has nearly 1 GW of solar and energy storage assets, and the company leads DGC's strategic portfolio in renewables.

"It has been a pleasure taking part in Nexamp's unprecedented growth over the past year," said Satoshi Hamada, International Power Division COO of Mitsubishi Corporation and former CEO of DGC. "We have been impressed with their team's expertise and professionalism and their proven record of expanding their fleet of assets and best in class services to consumers nationally."

Given the growing market demand for clean energy solutions, Masanori Kohama, CEO of DGC notes that investing in a more environmentally conscious base of businesses is advantageous: "Nexamp is on a strong growth trajectory, and we recognize that there is an even greater market opportunity. We will continue to offer support to scale Nexamp's initiatives and pursue our solar development activities with Nexamp's expanding portfolio."
