Engineering and procurement services project expands Audubon’s offshore experience and growth in GOM


HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#Audubon--Audubon Engineering Company LP (Audubon), a leading provider of engineering, procurement, construction, and fabrication services, has entered into an agreement with LLOG Exploration Offshore LLC (LLOG) to support its Salamanca floating production system (FPS) project in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico. LLOG is acting as project manager for the Salamanca FPS Infra LLC.

The scope of work includes detailed design services as well as procurement, vendor equipment management, construction, pre-commissioning, and offshore commissioning support.

About the Salamanca FPS

Rather than undertaking a new build, LLOG will repurpose the existing Independence Hub facility. This marks the first time in the Gulf of Mexico that an operator will have accomplished such an undertaking for an existing semisubmersible production facility. The project has a significant positive impact on environmental, social, and governance (ESG) due to its reuse of an existing unit rather than abandoning the unit. The project will also reduce emissions by approximately 70% compared to new unit construction.

The hull, topside truss, cranes, and lifeboats will be reused with minor modifications. All other topside equipment, including piping, instrumentation, and electrical systems, will be new and fit for purpose.

The column-stabilized Salamanca FPS will be located in Block 689 of the Keathley Canyon to tap the Leon and Castile discoveries. Situated at a water depth of approximately 6,400 ft., the deepwater platform will include processing facilities capable to 60,000 BOPD, 25,000 BWPD, and 40 MMSCFD of natural gas.

LLOG will obtain ABS A1 notation for the platform to comply with CG-ENG Policy Letter No. 01-13, Alternate Design and Equipment Standard for Floating Offshore Installations. Initial production from the joint development is expected mid-2025.

Audubon’s legacy with LLOG Exploration

Executed by Audubon’s strong local operating centers in New Orleans and Houston, this contract continues the company’s track record of successfully delivering integrated engineering and technical services for LLOG.

“Our history of partnership with LLOG goes back to 2006. As LLOG has grown from inshore facilities to offshore shelf to deepwater facilities, Audubon has grown with it,” said Ryan Hanemann, president of Audubon Engineering Company LP.

“We are excited about the opportunity to extend Audubon’s growth in offshore service delivery while helping LLOG achieve its mission of safely exploring and producing energy from the deepwater Gulf of Mexico,” Ryan continued.

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--#KBRA--KBRA releases research that examines the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) and its effect on the U.S. energy sector, with a focus on how the bill aims to reduce the country’s greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by boosting clean energy investments. As we noted in a recent research report, high energy prices have slowed the pace of the U.S. energy transition plans. With the IRA, the U.S. is reinvigorating energy transition plans and bolstering its commitment to Paris Agreement climate goals. In KBRA’s view, this legislation sends a signal to the rest of the world that the U.S. is ready to be a leader in the global effort to address climate change.


Key Takeaways

  • The IRA is a major piece of legislation that evidences the U.S.’s commitment to reducing its emission profile. The act is expected to reduce GHG emissions by roughly 40% from 2005 levels by 2030. The act will incentivize increasing renewable energy assets and spur development of clean energy technologies.
  • Among the key incentives under the IRA is the introduction of a new 10-year, direct-pay investment tax credit for clean energy development. By extending the tax credits far into the future and simplifying the process to claim them, the act lowers the barrier to long-term financing of renewable energy assets.
  • While renewable energy industry is set to be the primary beneficiary under the act, traditional energy companies also benefit under the bill, much more so than initial proposals indicated.

HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Sunnova Energy International Inc. (“Sunnova”) (NYSE: NOVA) today announced the pricing of $500 million aggregate principal amount of 2.625% convertible senior notes due 2028 (the “notes”) in a private placement to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”). Sunnova also granted the initial purchasers of the notes the option to purchase up to an additional $100 million aggregate principal amount of the notes within a 13-day period beginning on, and including, the date on which the notes are first issued. The sale of the notes is expected to close on August 19, 2022, subject to customary closing conditions.


The notes will be senior, unsecured obligations of Sunnova and will bear cash interest from August 19, 2022 at an annual rate of 2.625% payable semiannually in arrears on February 15 and August 15 of each year, beginning on February 15, 2023. The notes will mature on February 15, 2028, unless earlier converted, repurchased or redeemed. The initial conversion rate will be 29.2039 shares of Sunnova’s common stock, par value $0.0001, per $1,000 principal amount of notes (equivalent to an initial conversion price of approximately $34.24 per share of Sunnova’s common stock). The notes will be convertible into cash, shares of Sunnova’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of Sunnova’s common stock, at Sunnova’s election.

Sunnova will not be able to redeem the notes prior to August 20, 2025. On or after August 20, 2025, Sunnova may redeem the notes at its option if the last reported sale price of Sunnova’s common stock has been at least 130% of the conversion price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on and including the trading day immediately preceding the date on which Sunnova provides notice of redemption, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.

If a “fundamental change” (as defined in the indenture governing the notes) occurs at any time prior to the maturity date, holders of the notes may require Sunnova to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the repurchase date. In addition, following certain corporate events or if Sunnova issues a notice of redemption, Sunnova will, under certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate for holders who convert their notes in connection with such corporate event or notice of redemption.

Sunnova estimates that the net proceeds from the upsized offering will be approximately $487.1 million (or $584.6 million if the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes in full), after deducting the initial purchasers’ discounts and estimated offering expenses payable by Sunnova. Sunnova intends to use approximately $40.4 million of the net proceeds to pay the cost of the capped call transactions described below. Sunnova intends to use the remainder of the net proceeds for general corporate purposes, including, among other things, the funding of working capital, operating expenses, capital expenditures and the repayment of indebtedness.

In connection with the pricing of the notes, Sunnova entered into capped call transactions (the “capped call transactions”) with certain of the initial purchasers or their respective affiliates and other financial institutions (the “option counterparties”). The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to Sunnova’s common stock upon any conversion of notes and/or offset any cash payments Sunnova is required to make in excess of the principal amount of converted notes, as the case may be, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap initially equal to $46.10 (which represents a premium of 75.0% over the last reported sale price of Sunnova’s common stock on the New York Stock Exchange on August 16, 2022), subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions. If the initial purchasers exercise their option to purchase additional notes, Sunnova expects to enter into additional capped call transactions with the option counterparties.

In connection with establishing their initial hedges of the capped call transactions, Sunnova expects the option counterparties or their respective affiliates to purchase shares of Sunnova’s common stock and/or enter into various derivative transactions with respect to Sunnova’s common stock concurrently with or shortly after the pricing of the notes. These activities could increase (or reduce the size of any decrease in) the market price of Sunnova’s common stock or the notes at that time.

In addition, the option counterparties or their respective affiliates may modify their hedge positions by entering into or unwinding various derivatives with respect to Sunnova’s common stock and/or purchasing or selling Sunnova’s common stock or other securities of Sunnova in secondary market transactions following the pricing of the notes and prior to the maturity of the notes (and are likely to do so on each exercise date for the capped call transactions, which are expected to occur on each trading day during the 30 trading day period beginning on the 31st scheduled trading day prior to the maturity date of the notes, or following any termination of any portion of the capped call transactions in connection with any repurchase, redemption or early conversion of the notes). This activity could also cause or avoid an increase or a decrease in (or reduce the size of any decrease or increase in) the market price of Sunnova’s common stock or the notes, which could affect the ability of noteholders to convert the notes and, to the extent the activity occurs during any observation period related to a conversion of notes, it could affect the amount and value of the consideration that a noteholder will receive upon conversion of its notes.

Neither the notes, nor any shares of Sunnova’s common stock issuable upon conversion of the notes, have been, nor will be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and, unless so registered, such securities may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration or an applicable exemption from, or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and other applicable securities laws.

Owner of New York City’s Largest Power Plant Proposes New Project to Meet New York’s Ambitious Renewable Energy Goals, Subject to Selection in NYSERDA Offshore Wind Solicitation

Rise’s Queensboro Renewable Express (Queensboro) Includes Years of Thorough Surveys and Engineering That Confirm the Feasibility of Delivering Offshore Wind Energy to Ravenswood Generating Station

Queensboro, Part of Rise’s Renewable Ravenswood Vision, Would Permanently Replace Fossil Fuel Generators, Preserve Good Union Jobs, Deliver a Historic Environmental Justice Victory, and Power Up to Two Million Homes

LONG ISLAND CITY, N.Y.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Rise Light & Power today announced another decisive step in support New York State’s bold climate goals, debuting Queensboro Renewable Express (Queensboro), a mature offshore wind transmission project that will bring renewable energy to Queens and replace existing fossil fuel generation. This announcement follows the release of Rise’s Renewable Ravenswood vision, which set ambitious targets to transition Ravenswood Generating Station from New York City’s largest fossil fuel power plant to a hub of renewable energy. It also follows Governor Kathy Hochul’s landmark announcement of New York’s third offshore wind solicitation, which will procure at least 2 GW of offshore wind energy. Queensboro is an innovative solution to the most challenging problem facing the offshore wind industry: delivering energy from the Atlantic Ocean to consumers efficiently and cost-effectively. With years of surveys and engineering work already complete, Queensboro offers unparalleled project maturity for interconnecting offshore wind in New York Harbor.


“As home to New York City’s largest power generator, there are countless reasons to interconnect gigawatts of new offshore wind energy at the Ravenswood site,” said Clint Plummer, Chief Executive Officer of Rise Light & Power. “We can leverage our existing infrastructure and waterfront location to deliver a low-cost, low-risk offshore wind transmission system. Queensboro Renewable Express, as part of the larger Renewable Ravenswood vision, is designed in partnership with our neighbors and community, and we are excited to make it a reality.”

Rise has been developing the Queensboro project for more than two years, completing 255 miles of geophysical surveys in New York Harbor to determine the safest and most efficient location for buried, submarine, high-voltage direct current (HVDC) cables. Multiple sets of transmission cables will bring up to 3.9 GW of offshore wind power from the Atlantic Ocean, through the Verrazano Narrows, Upper New York Bay, and East River to the Ravenswood site in Queens, avoiding any impacts to beaches, public streets, or other property. By landing the cables at Ravenswood – a 27-acre waterfront industrial site in Queens – the project will leverage existing infrastructure to lower costs and improve efficiency.

In addition to providing cost advantages, Queensboro allows the opportunity to permanently replace 1960s-era fossil fuel generation capacity and provide continued employment for Ravenswood’s union workforce that has kept New York’s lights on for decades. Queensboro, as part of the Renewable Ravenswood vision, has numerous advantages, including:

  • Retirement of Active Fossil Fuel Generation – Rise’s project brings offshore wind power to the City, permanently retiring existing fossil fuel units and reducing the City’s reliance on fossil fuels, reducing emissions, while also keeping the lights on for New Yorkers.
  • Jobs, Training, & Local Economic Benefits – Queensboro will invest in local job training for our existing Utility Workers Union of America Local 1-2 employees, while also investing in a pipeline of workers from nearby disadvantaged communities to power the offshore wind industry in the years ahead.
  • Matured Project Ready for Permitting – Rise has already performed 255 miles of comprehensive marine surveys to establish a mature and feasible in-water route. These preparations advance permitting, design, and engagement with regulatory agencies.
  • Cost Effectiveness and Ratepayer Protections – By repurposing existing infrastructure, reducing the need for expensive transmission upgrades, and bundling multiple cables into one corridor, Queensboro offers New York a highly cost-effective offshore wind interconnection solution.
  • No Disruption to Community or Public Space – The project will use existing infrastructure to connect to adjacent substations, significantly reducing community impacts, risk, and cost. Unlike almost every other offshore wind farm in the United States, as well as other proposed cable landings in New York, Queensboro will not be buried under a public beach, nor will it require the disturbance of municipal roads or any real estate outside of the existing Ravenswood site.

The Queensboro Renewable Express drew praise from elected leaders, environmental justice, and labor advocates.

“After years of advocacy for retiring Big Allis, I am thrilled to see this concrete proposal to bring offshore wind energy to Queens, directly replacing fossil fuel generation,” said U.S. Congresswoman Carolyn B. Maloney (NY-12). “Renewable Ravenswood offered a compelling vision for the site, and this announcement is the next step in making that vision a reality. The table is set for a just transition to renewables, and I look forward to collaborating with our partners in New York State government to make this happen.”

“There are many advantages for using Ravenswood as the gateway for New York City’s offshore wind future but none more important than it retires active fossil generation and puts environment justice at the forefront,” said Eddie Bautista, Executive Director of the New York City Environmental Justice Alliance. “This proposal has the potential to transform the smokestacks of Big Allis into an offshore wind and renewable energy hub.”

“Today’s announcement by Rise Light & Power presents an intriguing construct for delivering clean and renewable offshore wind power to the New York market consistent with the ambitious targets set out under the Climate Leadership Community and Protection Act,” said Fred Zalcman, Director of the New York Offshore Wind Alliance. “By directly replacing fossil fuels with offshore wind power, we will accelerate the transition to a clean and renewable energy economy as we create good-paying jobs and reduce greenhouse gases and combat climate change.”

“We applaud Rise Light and Power’s announcement in supporting New York State’s sustainable energy transition by working expeditiously to replace inefficient, high-emitting peaker plants in Western Queens with energy storage and offshore wind transmission infrastructure,” said Cortney Koenig Worrall, CEO and President, Waterfront Alliance. “The Renewable Ravenswood vision, including this proposal to bring new offshore wind resources to Queens, will directly replace fossil fuel generation while minimizing impacts to public waterfront resources.”

“Bringing new sources of renewable energy to Ravenswood Generating Station is a surefire way to ensure that UWUA Local 1-2 will continue to play a role in keeping the lights on,” said Jim Shillitto, President of Utility Workers Union of America Local 1-2. “By making investments to modernize and transition Ravenswood to clean energy, Rise will maintain electric reliability for New Yorkers and keep union workers at the forefront.”

About Rise Light & Power

Rise Light & Power is a Queens, New York based energy asset manager and developer, and is actively transforming its core asset, Long Island City’s Ravenswood Generation Station, into a new clean energy hub, Renewable Ravenswood. By redeveloping New York City’s largest power generating facility, Rise will permanently replace fossil fuel power with homegrown renewable energy, while providing a just transition for its existing union workforce and economic opportunities for surrounding communities. Renewable Ravenswood, core to Rise’s growth-oriented strategy, is at the forefront of the ambitious clean energy transition taking place in New York State and will continue to provide reliable and cost-effective electricity for New York City for decades to come.

It is generally protected via anti-fraud technology and individual personal identification numbers (PINs) to make tracking easier.

It offers online access to the linked account, manages multiple cards, sets up reporting systems, and helps download statements. Nowadays, fuel cards are available with flexible payment options, including paying by credit card, which provides greater control over cash flow.

Fuel Cards Market Trends:

The increasing adoption of digital payment methods, the growing influence of the internet of things (IoT), and the rising focus on efficient fleet administration are among the key factors driving the demand for fuel cards across the globe.

Apart from this, as fuel cards allow business fleet managers to track fuel purchases in real-time, set spending limits, and manage fuel expenses, small and medium scale enterprises (SMEs) with fleets are increasingly relying on fuel cards to manage their fuel usage. In addition, several fuel card programs offer discounted prices or other rebates for purchasing fuel within a network and reducing fuel costs.

Besides this, key players are integrating fleet fuel cards with embedded chips and introducing smartcards, which are more durable than magnetic strips, quick response (QR) codes, and near-field communication (NFC) technology via mobile apps to handle payments.

Furthermore, they are offering customized solutions to clients with detailed reporting, which is anticipated to provide lucrative growth opportunities to market in the coming years.

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--EDF Renewables North America (EDFR) today announced that the Palen Solar site is fully operational and delivering decarbonized energy to the grid. The site consists of four projects totaling 620 megawatts (MWdc) of solar PV plus 200 MWh of battery energy storage.



The projects, which utilize horizontal single-axis tracking technology, are located adjacent to each other on unincorporated land in Riverside County, California, administered by the Federal Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The BLM designated this area as a Solar Energy Zone (SEZ) and Development Focus Area, land set aside for utility-scale renewable energy development.

In addition to economic benefits for Riverside County, including an average local spend of $24,000 a month during construction, the projects combined generate enough decarbonized energy to meet the consumption of up to 217,000 average California homes1. This is equivalent to avoiding more than 1 million metric tons of CO₂ emissions annually2 which represents the greenhouse gas emissions from 227,000 gasoline-powered passenger vehicles driven over the course of one year.

Construction activity commenced in early 2020 with Maverick 1 and Maverick 4, followed by Maverick 6 and Maverick 7 in early 2021. The projects were completed in sequence starting in December 2020. At peak construction, the sites employed over 500 personnel, majority of which were local to Riverside County.

Benoit Rigal, Senior Vice President, Implementation & Projects Management for EDF Renewables North America, commented, “The Maverick projects are the cornerstone of our large-scale solar and storage growth and expertise. The renewable energy industry has experienced significant volatility over the past years battling both unprecedented pandemic and supply chain constraints. We are excited to now have all four projects operating at full capacity and to contribute to California’s climate goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions to 40% below 1990 levels by 2030.”

EDF Renewables’ Asset Optimization group will perform operations and maintenance services for the life of the Project. The group will provide NERC compliance support, remote monitoring, and balance-of-plant management to maximize power production.

EDF Renewables, one of the largest renewable energy developers in North America, is committing to providing solutions to meet California’s carbon-reduction goals. With over 35 years of experience and 24 gigawatts of wind, solar, and storage projects developed, EDF Renewables North America provides integrated energy solutions from grid-scale power to electric vehicle charging.

1 According to U.S. Energy Information Administration (EIA) 2020 Residential Electricity Sales and U.S. Census Data and typical transmission assumptions.
