LS Power Agrees to Acquire Duke Energy’s DENA Power Generation Assets – Firm Commits to Smooth Transition

On Monday, January 9th, Duke Energy announced the sale of its Duke Energy North America (“DENA”) power generation assets to a member of the LS Power Group (“LS Power”).

Going forward, LS Power will seek to build upon the facilities’ past successes and improve the portfolio’s performance. The firm is committed to making the transition of the assets from Duke to LS Power a smooth one for the employees and the local communities. LS Power is looking forward to working with the plant personnel and becoming a member of the greater business communities.
