Captona and UBS Asset Management’s Real Estate & Private Markets business have closed on a portfolio investment of four utility-scale BESS projects in Texas. 

Previously acquired by UBS Asset Management, the projects total 728 MW. Ranging from 100 MW to 300 MW in nameplate capacity apiece, they are slated to come online this year. 

“Captona is proud to complete this transaction and grow our energy transition business,” says Izzet Bensusan, CEO and founder of Captona.

“This portfolio of BESS projects is critical to maximizing the potential of renewable energy projects while also ensuring grid reliability as energy demand grows. We are excited to continue investing and originating opportunities in clean energy projects and add to our growing portfolio of solar, BESS, fuel cell and clean fuels projects.”

Kirkland & Ellis served as counsel for Captona and its equity partner. Troutman Pepper served as counsel for UBS Asset Management.

I explained, “This is my life.”

Deporting Illegals — a Bit of Irony and Hypocrisy

“How can there not be a way to make him legal?” a citizen asks.

Sadly, this is what being a conservative is all about in today’s America, i.e., you think abuse is fine, until it impacts your own life.

Why Trump Needs to Be Held Accountable

Published

I agree with Joseph T. Stegall at left, but the main reason Trump needs to face justice is for the good of the country–and the entire world.

If Trump dies a “controversial figure” rather than a vicious criminal, the United States will never recover from the drubbing it’s taken on the world stage and the incredible amount of harm that’s been inflicted on the American people.

Moreover, failure to prosecute Trump would set the stage for the next sociopath to come along and take us down every further. Keep in mind that the next guy is probably not going to be as incompetent as Trump.
