Glidepath Ventures partner Carl Jackson said: “Glidepath was founded in 2017 to create a highly scalable and efficient approach to the origination and development of renewable energy projects.

“This transaction underscores the success of our scaled origination platform, which we are now deploying with similar success in multiple markets across the United States.”

For the deal, Redwood Energy has acted as financial advisor to Glidepath Ventures, while GreeneHurlocker has served as legal counsel.

Headquartered in Ardmore, Pennsylvania, Glidepath Ventures focuses on scaled, efficient origination and development of renewable energy and energy storage projects in North America.

The firm holds more than 2GW of solar projects which are currently in different stages of development.

Glidepath Ventures partner Charles Silio said: “We’re very pleased to have placed this utility-scale project portfolio with a strong, capable developer who can carry these projects forward.

“Going forward, Glidepath will continue to build on our portfolio of more than 2.0GW of early- and mid-stage solar energy projects and to engage with best-in-class financial and operational partners.”

Recently, the company has sold its 12 solar projects with a combined capacity of 278MW located in Pennsylvania to Canadian solar energy company, Grasshopper Solar for $300m.

As per the terms of the deal, Glidepath Ventures will be responsible for the development, interconnection and permitting of the projects which are estimated to reach commercial operation in 2020, 2021, and 2022.
