$86M Three-Year Capacity Deal Secured by Hallador Energy at Record Pricing
Summary
Hallador Energy has secured a significant three-year agreement to sell substantially all its remaining accredited capacity to a utility customer, expected to generate approximately $86 million in cumulative revenue from 2026 through 2028. This deal is priced at record levels for the company, roughly double its current forward sales book capacity pricing. This transaction marks a "step change" for higher capacity pricing at the Merom facility, providing a strong foundation for future negotiations. Management anticipates this could more than double annual capacity revenues to $130 million starting in 2029, with the majority translating directly to operating cash flow, significantly enhancing the company's financial outlook. Investors should monitor the progress of additional long-term capacity agreements and the proposed natural gas-fired project.
