GSO Capital Partners Completes Acquisition of Rijnmond Power Plant

London - Funds managed by GSO Capital Partners ("GSO") today completed the acquisition of the Rijnmond Power Plant, a natural gas-fired combined cycle power generation facility located in the Port of Rotterdam, The Netherlands.

The 810 MW facility comprises two Siemens V94.3 A2 (SGT5-4000F) gas turbines, one Alstom three casing steam turbine, as well as auxiliary equipment. It is designed to supply clean, low-cost electricity to the Netherlands and northwest Europe. The plant is in excellent condition and will benefit from considerable future operational capacity.

The plant began operations in 2004, supplying power and steam to the wholesale market and industrial customers in the Port of Rotterdam. The facility is currently in preservation state after it was mothballed in the second quarter of 2015.

GSO is excited about the investment and looks forward to exploring all options to maximise the plant's significant potential for all stakeholders.
