Eversource completes offshore wind exit; sale proceeds $745M, expects Q3 $520M net loss
EVERSOURCE ENERGY
- Sale of 50% stake in South Fork Wind (132 MW) and Revolution Wind (704 MW) to GIP for adjusted gross proceeds of $745M.
- Proceeds reduced by ~$375M vs. expected $1.12B due to lower capital spending and delay of Revolution Wind commercial ops.
- Aggregate net loss on offshore wind divestiture ~$520M in Q3 2024, including $370M gain on Sunrise Wind sale and higher Revolution Wind costs.
- Eversource expects to record ~$360M liability, majority settled in 2026; equity issuance plan up to $1.3B unchanged.
- No impact on regulated entities; Eversource now fully exited offshore wind ownership.
