中国石化新闻网讯 据世界天然气网站4月23日消息 桑普拉能源已完成其美国可再生能源业务和非公用事业天然气储存资产的剥离，总现金收益为25亿美元。

资产剥离伴随着以5.84亿美元现金将其在运营和开发阶段风电资产的剩余所有权权益出售给美国电力公司。

桑普拉能源总裁兼首席运营官Joseph Householder表示：“出售资产所得收益将用于偿还债务并重新部署资本，以支持桑普拉能源在北美的战略增长。”

向美国电力公司出售的电力包括约724兆瓦的净运营容量，包括明尼苏达州的Black Oak Getty Wind和密歇根州的Apple Blossom Wind，以及桑普拉能源在与BP风能公司共同所有的项目中的权益：夏威夷的Auwahi Wind（风能和电池储能）、堪萨斯州的Flat Ridge 2 Wind、宾夕法尼亚州的Mehoopany Wind，科罗拉多州的Cedar Creek 2 Wind，印第安纳州的Fowler Ridge 2 Wind。另外，美国电力公司还收购了桑普拉能源目前正在开发的所有风电项目。

2月，桑普拉能源以3.28亿美元现金完成了向ArcLight Capital Partners附属公司出售其非公用事业美国天然气储存设施的交易，但需进行交割后调整。

2018年12月，桑普拉能源以约16亿美元的价格完成了向爱迪生联合电气公司出售其美国太阳能资产和电池存储开发项目，以及一个风力发电厂的所有权权益。

该公司还正在出售其在南美业务中的股权，包括其在秘鲁Luz del Sur的83.6%股权和智利Chilquinta Energía S.A的100%股权。

Sempra Energy closes $2.5 bln natural gas assets sale

Sempra Energy has completed the divestiture of its U.S. renewables business and non-utility natural gas storage assets, for a total of $2.5 billion in cash proceeds.

The divestiture accompanies the completion of the sale of its remaining ownership interests in operating and development-stage wind assets to American Electric Power Company for $584 million in cash.

Joseph Householder, president and chief operating officer of Sempra Energy, said, “the proceeds from the asset sales will be used to pay down debt and redeploy capital to support the strategic growth of Sempra Energy in North America.”

The sale to AEP included approximately 724 megawatts of net operating capacity comprising Black Oak Getty Wind in Minnesota and Apple Blossom Wind in Michigan, as well as Sempra Energy’s interests in jointly-owned projects with BP Wind Energy: Auwahi Wind in Hawaii (wind and battery storage), Flat Ridge 2 Wind in Kansas, Mehoopany Wind in Pennsylvania, Cedar Creek 2 Wind in Colorado, and Fowler Ridge 2 Wind in Indiana. AEP also acquired all of Sempra Energy’s wind projects currently in development.

In February, Sempra Energy completed the sale of its non-utility U.S. natural gas storage facilities to an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners for $328 million in cash, subject to post-closing adjustments.

In December 2018, Sempra Energy completed the sale of its U.S. solar assets and battery storage development projects, as well as its ownership interest in one wind facility, to Consolidated Edison for approximately $1.6 billion.

The company also is in the process of selling its equity interests in its South American businesses, including its 83.6 percent stake in Luz del Sur in Peru and 100 percent stake in Chilquinta Energía S.A. in Chile.
