Green Line

Investors

Green Line investors include Catamount Management Corporation, Starwood Energy Group, and the Energy Investors Funds Group (EIF). All three have extensive investment experience in the energy sector.

Catamount Management Corporation is a private investment firm that manages the various investments of the Kaneb family. These include the dairy HP Hood LLC, real estate development and petroleum marketing. The family also has a limited partnership interest in the Boston Red Sox.

Starwood Energy Group Global, LLC, an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group Global, LLC, focuses predominately on energy infrastructure investment, including the acquisition and development of power generation and transmission projects, principally in North America. To date, the company and its affiliates have invested, or committed to invest, more than $300 million of equity capital in transactions representing over $3.2 billion total enterprise value when fully developed.

Energy Investors Funds (EIF) was founded in 1987 as the first private equity fund manager dedicated exclusively to the independent power and electric utility industry. Its consistent, proven investment strategy is to create geographically and technologically diversified portfolios of electric power-related assets that provide superior risk-adjusted equity returns with current cash flow and capital appreciation. As investment managers EIF seeks to mitigate commodity risk (fuel and electricity) by focusing primarily on acquiring power assets with long-term off-take contracts. EIF has mobilized over $3.4 billion in capital, and currently manages four private equity funds from its offices in Boston, New York, and San Francisco. These funds have made over 100 diversified investments with a combined underlying asset value exceeding $7 billion.
