SizeApproximately 100 employees and operates 85 hydroelectric facilities with nearly 700 MW capacity (source: eaglecreekre.com).
What They Do
Eagle Creek Renewable Energy focuses exclusively on hydroelectric power, owning, operating, and developing small to medium run-of-river facilities that generate baseload renewable electricity without the need for large-scale dams. The company emphasizes the rehabilitation of existing sites to enhance efficiency and promote environmental integration (source: eaglecreekre.com). Their services include acquiring underperforming or idle plants, rehabilitating turbines, securing Federal Energy Regulatory Commission (FERC) licenses, and managing operations to deliver clean power to regional grids. For instance, they provide approximately 150 million kWh annually from the Anson (9 MW) and Abenaki (19 MW) facilities on Maine's Kennebec River, which were acquired in 2017 (source: eaglecreekre.com).
Projects & Track Record
Eagle Creek has a notable track record of completed projects, including the Menominee River facilities, which consist of Little Quinnesec (9.1 MW, Niagara, WI), Park Mill (2.274 MW, Marinette, WI), and Menominee (2.074 MW, Menominee, MI). These facilities have been operational since the early 20th century and collectively produce over 15 million kWh annually (source: eaglecreekre.com). Additionally, on Michigan's Thornapple River, the Ada (1.4 MW) and Cascade (1.6 MW) facilities together generate over 12 million kWh annually. Key acquisitions include a 30 MW portfolio from Madison Paper Industries in Maine and ten Northeast facilities totaling 12 MW, which significantly expanded their operational capacity (source: eaglecreekre.com). The company continues to seek further acquisitions to enhance its portfolio and operational footprint.
Recent Developments
In recent developments, Eagle Creek announced on October 6, 2025, that Apollo-managed funds have agreed to acquire the company, which underscores its significant operational capacity of 700 MW across 85 facilities. This acquisition is expected to close in Q1 2026, pending regulatory approvals, and highlights the company's role in meeting the rising demand for reliable low-carbon baseload power, particularly for data centers (source: apollo.com). No other major contracts, mergers, or funding rounds have been reported in the last two years, indicating a focus on solidifying their existing operations and preparing for the upcoming acquisition.
Working There
Eagle Creek offers a variety of roles likely spanning operations, engineering, environmental compliance, FERC licensing, turbine maintenance, and regional management, reflecting its extensive portfolio of 85 facilities. Hiring occurs at operational hubs such as Menominee, MI, and Morristown, NJ, as well as other sites in Maine, Wisconsin, and Massachusetts (source: eaglecreekre.com). The company culture emphasizes safe and professional operations, with a focus on regional management to enhance stakeholder value for investors, employees, and communities. Projects like the sturgeon habitat restoration on the Menominee River demonstrate their commitment to environmental stewardship (source: eaglecreekre.com). However, specific employee benefits have not been documented in available sources.
