Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners Agrees to Sell Red Oak Power Facility

NEW YORK--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Morgan Stanley Investment Management (MSIM), through investment funds managed by Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners (MSIP), its private infrastructure investment platform, today announced it has entered into an agreement to sell its ownership stake in TigerGenCo Red Oak Holdings, LLC (“Red Oak” or the “Facility”) to funds managed by Strategic Value Partners.

Located in Sayreville, New Jersey, Red Oak, is part of the PJM Interconnection, which is North America’s largest power market. MSIP acquired the 831-megawatt combined cycle power plant in 2017 and has managed the Facility through its power asset management platform TigerGenCo, which also manages MSIP’s investment in Bayonne Energy Center.

“Red Oak demonstrates MSIP’s ability to create long-term value by bringing operational, commercial and financial expertise to our portfolio,” said Markus Hottenrott, Chief Investment Officer for Morgan Stanley Infrastructure Partners. “Red Oak is a critical resource to the Northeast region and its role has become increasingly vital as the U.S. power market grapples with load growth and challenges adding new supply.”

The transaction is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2025, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals. Jefferies LLC served as lead financial advisor to MSIP, and Santander also served as a financial advisor to MSIP.
