S&P boosts Elwood Energy

Standard & Poor's said it raised its rating on Elwood Energy LLC's $402 million senior secured bonds due 2026 to BB- from B+ and removed the rating from CreditWatch with positive implications where it was placed on June 16.

The outlook is now stable.

The agency said that the upgrade follows Aquila Inc.'s (B-/Watch positive/B-3) recent assignment of its 626 MW tolling agreement with Elwood to Constellation Energy Commodities Group, a subsidiary of Constellation Energy Group Inc. (CEG, BBB+/Watch developing/A-2).

According to S&P, the rating on Elwood reflects that the project will be exposed to partial merchant risk from 2013 and full merchant risk after 2017 and there is a lack of geography, fuel and technology diversity.
