BP has agreed to sell its U.S. onshore wind business to U.S.-based LS Power, as part of its ongoing divestment strategy, the energy major said on Friday, without disclosing a deal value. bp Wind Energy will be owned and operated under power and energy-focused investment and operating company LS Power's Clearlight Energy.

BP's latest U.S. wind sale is part of its plan to sell much of its solar and offshore wind businesses too as it scales back on green energy.

BP has agreed to sell its entire US onshore wind energy business, BP Wind Energy North America Inc., to LS Power in a transaction expected to close by year-end, pending regulatory approval. The deal includes 10 operating wind farms totaling 1.3GW net capacity, marking another step in BP’s ongoing $20 billion divestment program.
