London-based Javelin, one of the biggest exporters of US coal, will take less than 10% of equity in the Gavin power plant, according to the filing. The rest will be owned by Energy Capital Partners, which is also taking over a clutch of other aging power plants in the US Midwest as part of the same deal.
