CHICAGO, IL - November 8, 2022 - Marathon Capital, LLC (“Marathon Capital”) is pleased to have served as the exclusive financial advisor to PPL Corporation in support of PPL’s sale of Safari Energy LLC ("Safari") to Aspen Power Partners LLC ("Aspen").

Founded in 2008, Safari has acquired or developed more than 600 C&I solar projects nationwide. Aspen has acquired Safari’s complete development platform including its 220 MW portfolio of operating and under-construction distributed generation solar assets.
