The transaction gives Prime Infra control over several major power plants, including the 1,000-MW Santa Rita and the 1,200-MW Santa Maria projects, as well as the interim LNG terminal. FGEN Chairman Federico Lopez said the partnership would provide the company with additional capital to expand its renewable energy projects.
