2025 Pending Acquisitions
Freedom and Guernsey Acquisitions. On July 17, 2025, the Company entered into two purchase and sale agreements (the “Purchase Agreements”) with affiliates of Caithness Energy pursuant to which it agreed to purchase (i) the Freedom Energy Center, a 1,045 MW (summer rating) natural gas fired combined cycle generation plant located in Luzerne County, Pennsylvania, for approximately $1.5 billion in cash; and (ii) the Guernsey Power Station, a 1,836 MW (summer rating) natural gas fired combined cycle generation plant located in Guernsey County, Ohio, for approximately $2.3 billion in cash, in each case as adjusted in accordance with the applicable Purchase Agreement. At closing, the Company is required under each Purchase Agreement to deposit with an escrow agent cash equal to 1% of the purchase price to secure the payment of certain customary post-closing purchase price adjustments.
Each transaction is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the expiration or termination of the waiting period pursuant to the Hart-Scott-Rodino Antitrust Improvements Act of 1976 (the “HSR Act”), and regulatory approvals from the FERC and other regulatory agencies. These regulatory filings have all been made and are now pending at the agencies. The Purchase Agreements provide that either we or the sellers can terminate the applicable agreement if the respective acquisition is not completed by July 17, 2026 (which may be automatically extended to January 17, 2027 in the case of pending antitrust or regulatory approvals). Under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay the sellers a termination fee of approximately $63 million in the case of Freedom and $100 million in the case of Guernsey if the applicable acquisition is not consummated. The Freedom and Guernsey Acquisitions are both expected to close in the fourth quarter 2025.
In connection with the Freedom and Guernsey Acquisitions, TES entered into debt commitment letters pursuant to which Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and RBC Capital Markets have agreed to provide TES with: (i) senior secured bridge facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $1.2 billion; and (ii) senior unsecured bridge facilities in an aggregate principal amount of up to $2.6 billion. See Note 10 for additional information.
2025 Pending Divestitures
Camden and Dartmouth Sales. In June 2025, we entered into a purchase and sale agreement to sell the Camden and Dartmouth generation facilities to Partners Group for an aggregate $32 million in cash, subject to customary working capital adjustments and an economic effective date of June 1, 2025. FERC approval for the sale was received in August 2025 and the transaction is expected to close in the second half of 2025.
2024 Divestitures
ERCOT Sale. In May 2024, we sold our 1,710 MW Texas generation portfolio to CPS Energy for $785 million, subject to customary net working capital adjustments. A gain on sale of $563 million is presented as “Gain (loss) on sale of assets, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2024.
AWS Data Campus Sale. In March 2024, AWS purchased substantially all the assets related to the AWS Data Campus and certain other assets for gross proceeds of $650 million, of which $350 million were received at closing with the remaining $300 million held in escrow until August 2024. For the six months ended June 30, 2024, a $324 million gain on sale is presented as “Gain (loss) on sale of assets, net” on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. In connection with the AWS Data Campus Sale, the Company entered into the initial AWS PPA. In June 2025, the Company and AWS entered into a revised AWS PPA, under which the Company is expected to provide AWS with up to 1,920 MW of “front-of-the-meter” power through 2042. The transition to the revised AWS PPA is expected to occur in Spring 2026.
