Owned by Riverview Power Holdings LLC, Hunlock comprises a two-unit, 125-megawatt combined-cycle power plant and a 44-megawatt simple-cycle peaking plant. The acquisition is expected to boost the Shell unit's access to power supply and capacity offtake in the Mid-Atlantic grid operated by PJM Interconnection, the biggest wholesale electricity market and grid operator in the US.
