Olympia, Wash., June 27 – Ector County Energy Center LLC received court approval to sell its assets to stalking horse and winning bidder Rockland Capital, LLC, according to a minute entry filed Monday with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware.

As previously reported, the winning bid includes a purchase price of $144.75 million ($141.56 million after application of a $3.19 million break-up fee credit) plus up to an additional $2.7 million in potential incentive consideration.

Prior to the auction for the assets, LS Power Equity Advisors, LLC had submitted a bid for the assets. Following the auction, LS Power’s bid, which includes a purchase price of $144.5 million plus up to $2.7 million of incentive consideration, was named backup bid.

Rockland’s original stalking horse bid, established in April, was set at $91.25 million.
