MARA to Acquire Long Ridge Energy & Power for About $1.5 Billion
MARA agreed on April 29, 2026, to buy 100% of Long Ridge Energy & Power LLC from FTAI Infrastructure-linked sellers for a base purchase price of approximately $1.5 billion, subject to customary adjustments. The plant, a gas-fired power facility in Hannibal, Ohio, sits beside a data center that MARA already operates, and the deal is expected to close in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory approvals and other conditions.
Key points
- Base purchase price of approximately $1.5 billion; the press release says total transaction value includes the assumption of at least $785 million of debt.
- Barclays committed to provide a 364-day senior secured bridge term loan of up to $785,000,000 to the Company.
- Buyer may owe a $75.0 million termination fee in certain circumstances; either party may terminate after November 30, 2026 (or June 30, 2027 if certain regulatory conditions are not met).
- Closing is subject to Hart-Scott-Rodino clearance and Federal Energy Regulatory Commission approval.
