A leading developer of North American power and energy infrastructure projects said it has an agreement to acquire several U.S. onshore wind farms from a UK-based energy group. LS Power and bp Wind Energy North America announced the deal on July 18.

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 Plc agreed to sell its US onshore wind business to LS Power, as the company continues efforts to pivot back toward its core oil and gas business and reverse years of share underperformance.
