LCG, May 5, 2004--Duke Energy has said that it will reduce its ownership of merchant power plants by one-third, completely divesting itself of such plants in the southeastern U.S., after completing a planned sale of eight facilities to a private equity fund.The sale, to the fund MatlinPatterson Global Opportunities Partners II, brings the total value of asset sales either announced or closed by Duke Energy to approximately $2.5 billion this year. The plants to be sold burn natural gas, are located in Arkansas, Georgia, Kentucky and Mississippi, and have a total capacity of 5,325 megawatts.The completion of the sale is expected in the third quarter of the year, following the approval of each plant's sale by the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission, and the approval of the deal by the Federal Trade Commission.The MatlinPatterson fund was started by a former banker with Credit Suisse First Boston, David Matlin, in autumn of 2003. Initially, its investments centered on distressed debt of companies such as MCI, formerly WorldCom. The fund will reportedly acquire the Duke plants for $475 million.
