It is a partnership formed and owned by an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners.

Rogers says partnering with ArcLight, a highly experienced investor in power markets, positions CPP Investments well to support AlphaGen’s strong operational performance.

The deal is subject to regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the first half of 2026.
