ITEM 1.01   ENTRY INTO A MATERIAL DEFINITIVE AGREEMENT

On February 6, 2009, MMC Energy, Inc.’s (“MMC”) subsidiary MMC Mid-Sun, LLC (“Mid-Sun”) signed a definitive agreement (the “Agreement”) to sell Mid-Sun’s General Electric LM2500® turbine and certain related power generating equipment for $4.0 million to an affiliate of Pro Energy Services, Inc. (“Pro Energy”). Pro Energy provides operations & maintenance services for each of MMC’s wholly-owned subsidiaries’ power plants.

The transaction is targeted to close on April 1, 2009, at which point MMC expects to cease operations at the Mid-Sun facility.  Mid-Sun will continue to own residual ancillary equipment at the site.  Mid-Sun remains subject to a long term land lease through 2016, which it expects to terminate through a negotiated buy-out of the lease.  Mid-Sun also is contracted to supply resource adequacy capacity requirements through 2011, which it expects to satisfy by procuring replacement capacity from another facility. Subject to the final outcome of such contract negotiations and miscellaneous deal costs, MMC expects to receive net proceeds of $2.5 to $3.0 million after winding up the Mid-Sun operation. There can be no assurance, however, that the cost of terminating such agreements will not be higher, including as a result of any penalties assessed, which MMC believes to be unlikely.

For additional information concerning the Agreement and other matters discussed above, refer to the press release attached to this report as Exhibit 99.1 and incorporated herein by reference.

MMC ENERGY, INC. ANNOUNCES SALE OF EQUIPMENT

New York- February 12, 2009-MMC Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: MMCE) announced today that its wholly owned subsidiary MMC Mid-Sun, LLC, signed a definitive agreement to sell its General Electric LM2500® turbine and certain related power generating equipment for $4.0 million to an affiliate of Pro Energy Services, Inc.

The transaction is targeted to close on April 1, 2009 at which point the Company expects to cease operations at the Mid-Sun facility.  MMC Mid-Sun will continue to own residual ancillary equipment at the site.  MMC Mid-Sun remains subject to a long term land lease through 2016, which it expects to terminate through a negotiated buy-out of the lease.  Additionally, the facility is contracted to supply resource adequacy capacity requirements through 2011, which MMC expects to satisfy by procuring replacement capacity from an unrelated facility.  Subject to the final outcome of such contract negotiations and miscellaneous deal costs, the Company expects to receive net proceeds of $2.5 to $3.0 million after winding up the Mid-Sun operation.  There can be no assurance, however, that the cost of terminating such agreements will not be higher, including as a result of any penalties assessed, which MMC believes to be unlikely.

Since the Company lost the ability to provide spinning reserve services, the facility has not been able to generate sustained positive cash flows, and the underlying equipment was determined to have greater value than continuing to operate the facility.  The Company’s remaining two facilities, MMC Escondido and MMC Chula Vista continue to generate positive EBITDA.

Michael Hamilton, CEO of MMC Energy commented, "We continue to believe that our power generation facilities and power equipment on order carry significant value, given the shortage of new generation throughout the State of California.  We believe this equipment sale demonstrates the value and liquidity of our assets not reflected in our current market price."

MMC previously announced the sale of a General Electric LM6000 PC Sprint ® turbine in November 2008.

About MMC Energy, Inc.:

The Company acquires and actively manages electricity generating and energy infrastructure-related assets in the United States. The Company is traded on the NASDAQ Global Market in the United States.
 
 
 

 
 
The Company's mission is to acquire, directly or through joint ventures, a portfolio of small to mid-size natural gas fueled electricity generating assets, generally below 80 megawatts or `MW.''   The Company creates long-term value for its shareholders through disciplined asset acquisitions and hands on post-acquisition asset management. The Company has invested in electricity assets which provide essential services to key transmission constrained markets in California, where regulatory capacity requirements and a lack of local electricity supplies make peak electricity generation facilities valuable. To date, the Company has acquired three electricity generating assets in California, totaling 110 MW of capacity, of which the Mid-Sun facility represents 22 MW.
