J. Colter Eadie, Chief Executive Officer of Transeastern commented "We are starting to see the production results from the recently acquired solar acquisitions which we believe will prove to be highly accretive. The diversification of power generation sources benefitted the Trust in the third quarter as good production from the solar assets has offset the challenging hydrology conditions affecting the hydro projects this summer. The completion of the Mediterranean acquisition strengthens Transeastern's balance sheet significantly as we continue to pursue opportunities to further grow the business."
