ENERGY & UTILITIES Dominion sells $300M stake to SunEdison Energy generator Dominion said it has agreed to sell a 33 percent stake in its solar port- folio, including its Connecticut holdings, to SunEdison for $300 million. The deal involves 24 proj- ects with a total of 425 mega- watts of solar-generating capacity in Connecticut, Cali- fornia, Georgia, Indiana, Ten- nessee and Utah. The majority of the projects began generating power in the past two years, and the rest were completed this year or are scheduled to be, Dominion said. All projects have long-term power purchase agreements with electricity suppliers. Dominion acquired a 5-megawatt solar farm in Somers in 2013. The company also owns the 2,100-megawatt Millstone Power Station and a 14.9-megawatt fuel cell park in Bridgeport. According to U.S. Securities & Exchange Commission filings, Do- minion has more than 1,000 megawatts of solar-generating capac- ity operating, in development, or planned across seven states. In 2012, SunEdison was one of several companies to receive multiple contracts under Connecticut's 21-year, $1 billion renew- able energy credit program. SunEdison disclosed in 2013 that it had 16 rooftop solar facili- ties in Connecticut generating more than 3 megawatts of electric- ity for commercial and municipal customers. SunEdison will be growing its Connecticut solar portfolio after its recent acquisition from Dominion. MANUFACTURING UTC changes mind on elevator, climate controls merger Farmington's United Technologies Corp. said its Otis Elevator and UTC Climate, Controls & Security businesses will be separate once more. UTC has named Philippe Delpech as Otis president and Robert J. McDonough as CCS president. Two years ago, citing a desire to capture growth opportunities in emerging markets, UTC merged the Otis and CCS businesses into a single unit called UTC Building & Industrial Systems. In July, Geraud Darnis announced his retirement as CEO of UTC Building & Industrial Systems, and the company did not name a successor. Darnis will stay on through January for the transition.
