EDL’s purchase of Cullerin is a strategic fit and complements its existing portfolio of distributed generation assets across NSW and the Australian Capital Territory, according to a release from Allens.

Under the terms of the transaction, Origin has entered into a long-term offtake agreement with Cullerin.

Allens lead partner Kate Axup said the project was a great one for the firm's renewables team.

"Working with the EDL team on the acquisition of Cullerin involved tight project management and a multi-disciplinary team able to provide advice across all legal due diligence areas, the sale agreement, tax implications and the Origin offtake arrangements," Ms Axup said.

"It is exciting to work with a business committed to growing in the mid-scale, grid connected renewable sector."

As part of its $800 million asset divestment program, Origin recently sold its Mortlake Gas Pipeline to the SEA Gas Mortlake partnership and the Mortlake Terminal Station to AusNet Transmission.
