Over the last few years under ECP's ownership, we have enhanced our core business here in the United States and further developed on our strong pipeline of additional waste-to-energy projects in the United Kingdom. We are confident that the long term support from MIP will allow Wheelabrator to continue to operate as a trusted and reliable partner for its customers and continue to execute on our growth agenda."

"We would like to express our appreciation to Bob and the entire Wheelabrator team for the excellent partnership we have enjoyed and the success achieved by the business under ECP's ownership," said Tyler Reeder, Partner at ECP.
