The company offered nearly $125m to acquire 51% controlling stake in the JV, which acquired 379MW of solar and wind generation projects from Geronimo Renewable Infrastructure Partners.

Geronimo Energy CEO Blake Nixon said: “With our joint expertise, we have an exciting opportunity to grow our project portfolio, expand upon our commitments to project host communities and landowners, and offer our customers increasingly high quality, competitive renewable generation.”

National Grid initially entered an agreement to acquire Geronimo Energy to expand into the US market in March 2019. It has also agreed to make further payments, subject to the development of the project pipeline.
