PGR Lessee I, LLC and 18 affiliates filed Chapter 11 in Houston on September 9, 2026. The lead debtor’s petition reports consolidated liabilities of $100,000,001–$500 million and consolidated assets in the same range, with assets measured at book value. Those disclosures establish the group’s reported scale, but do not provide a precise debt balance or a creditor-recovery estimate. Joint-administration motion; petition, p. 4.
The group operates solar projects in Rhode Island, North Carolina and South Carolina, according to the available Law360 report. Its initial court relief includes joint administration under PGR Lessee I’s lead case, authorized by an order entered September 10. Order reproduced in the notice certificate.

Case Snapshot
The joint-administration motion identifies the debtors, venue and petition date. This account addresses the petition disclosures and initial administration orders reflected in filings through September 12, 2026.
What the financial ranges establish
The petition expressly labels both financial ranges as consolidated. Its asset estimate also carries a book-value qualification. Accordingly, neither range should be presented as a separate amount for each of the 19 debtors, and the $500 million upper bound should not be treated as an exact liability total. Petition, p. 4.
Reporting assets and liabilities within the same broad bracket does not establish that the two are equal. The disclosure also does not establish how much asset value will be available to any particular creditor class. Assessing recoveries requires more detail about obligations, collateral and realizable asset values than these petition ranges supply.
One docket for affiliated cases
The September 10 order directs that further pleadings and docket entries for the affiliated cases be maintained under case 26-90773. It also authorizes a combined service list and combined notices. The order’s text is reproduced in the September 12 notice certificate. Joint-administration order, p. 6 of the certificate.
The debtors sought this arrangement for procedural purposes only. Their motion states that each party would retain whatever claims or rights it alleged against each estate, explaining that joint administration was not intended to alter substantive rights. That distinction matters when reading the consolidated financial disclosures: the group-level ranges do not themselves establish which debtor owes a particular obligation. Joint-administration motion, ¶¶ 9, 17.
The motion also states that the debtors continued operating and managing their properties as debtors in possession at filing. It refers readers to a first-day declaration by Craig Jalbert for the business background and circumstances behind the cases. The petition and procedural materials discussed here do not establish a sale price, financing commitment or proposed creditor distribution. The unresolved economic question is how the group intends to address its obligations and what value will be available at each debtor. Joint-administration motion, ¶¶ 6, 8.
