Cogentrix, which was bought by Carlyle from Goldman Sachs in 2012, operates more than 70 gas, coal, solar and other renewable assets.
"Electricity demand is rapidly increasing thanks to explosive growth in data centers and AI, the reshoring of manufacturing, and the electrification-of-everything... Now more than ever, we need reliable and efficient power infrastructure,†Wil VanLoh, founder and CEO of Quantum, said in a statement.
The deal is expected to close between the fourth quarter of 2024 and the first quarter of 2025.
