For this transaction, Troutman Sanders and Hogan Lovells acted as legal counsel to Hull Street Energy.

Headquartered in Bethesda, Maryland, Hull Street Energy was established to deploy capital into the North American power segment as the grid moves to a sustainable asset base.

In August 2018, Hull Street Energy completed the acquisition of nine hydroelectric power facilities in New Hampshire from Eversource through a special purpose affiliate.

These nine facilities have around 68MW of power generation capacity.

The facilities are situated on the Androscoggin, Connecticut, Merrimack, North Branch, and Pemigewasset Rivers.

In June 2018, an affiliate of Hull Street Energy completed the acquisition of 100% of the ownership interests in Nautilus Hydro, from funds managed by affiliates of The Carlyle Group.

Nautilus Hydro owns five hydroelectric generation facilities located in Massachusetts on the Chicopee and Deerfield Rivers.

Following this deal, Hull Street Energy added around 18MW of renewable generation assets to its New England portfolio.
