Tecogen Inc.: Tecogen Completes Sale of Certain Power Purchase Agreements and Related Assets for $7 Million Dollars

WALTHAM, MA / ACCESSWIRE / March 7, 2019 / Tecogen Inc. (NASDAQ: TGEN), a clean energy company providing ultra-efficient, clean, natural gas-powered on-site power, heating and cooling equipment, is pleased to announce that it has completed the sale of a portion of the assets acquired by Tecogen in May 2017 when it acquired American DG Energy Inc. The assets involve eight projects and include various models of Tecogen cogeneration units, Tecochill water chillers, and conventional air-conditioning systems. The assets were sold for an aggregate purchase price of $7 million to a company managed by the New York office of Sustainable Development Capital ('SDCL'), an investment firm with a proven track record of investment in energy efficiency and decentralized generation projects in the UK, Continental Europe, North America and Asia.

SDCL also contracted with Tecogen to maintain the equipment and perform invoicing for the energy supplied by the equipment to the host sites for the duration of the power purchase agreements. These agreements include performance incentives split evenly by both parties for energy savings collections exceeding the minimum collection guarantees in the agreements. Tecogen will also be responsible for managing customer relationships with the host sites as well as providing billing and asset management services.

'For the past several years we have put a great deal of effort in bringing these and other sites in our ADGE portfolio to a high level of performance,' said Benjamin Locke, Tecogen CEO. 'We were very gratified that this hard work established our on-site utility projects as valuable long-term investment instruments which we can monetize while retaining the service contracts.'

David Maxwell, Managing Director of SDCL in New York, said 'We are very excited to have invested in Tecogen's cogeneration portfolio. Tecogen has demonstrated an innovative approach to building and operating carbon efficient energy savings projects in and around the North East of the United States and we are looking forward to an ongoing strategic relationship with the firm'.

Tecogen will use the cash generated by the sale to eliminate debt, support growth in strategic product areas, and strengthen the balance sheet.
