Centrica to sell Peterborough site

 

 

Centrica plc has agreed to sell its Peterborough site, which comprises freehold land, the 245MW Peterborough open cycle gas turbine (OCGT) and the 49MW reciprocating gas engine to Whitetower Holdings UK Limited, an affiliate of Rockland Capital, LP. The agreed consideration is £20m, which is subject to customary working capital and other completion adjustments.

 

The transaction is expected to complete before the end of September 2021, and Centrica will continue to provide optimisation services to the Peterborough site after the sale.

 

The sale is consistent with Centrica's strategy to become a simpler, leaner Group focused on delivering for its customers and its target to be net zero by 2045.
