Assets held for sale and discontinued operations |
Assets held for sale and discontinued operations | 3. Assets held for sale and discontinued operations On June 26, 2015, Atlantic Power Transmission, Inc. (“APT”), our wholly-owned, direct subsidiary, sold our Wind Projects under a definitive agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with TerraForm AP Acquisition Holdings, LLC (“TerraForm”), an affiliate of SunEdison, Inc. (an affiliate of TerraForm Power, Inc.). The sale was completed for aggregate cash proceeds of approximately $335 million after transaction fees, exclusive of transaction-related taxes. We recorded a $46.8 million gain on sale, which is included as a component of income from discontinued operations in the consolidated statements of operations for the year ended December 31, 2015. Terraform acquired from APT, 100% of APT’s direct membership interests in a holding company formed to facilitate the sale, thereby acquiring our indirect interests in our portfolio of Wind Projects consisting of five operating wind projects in Idaho and Oklahoma and representing 521 MW net ownership: Goshen (12.5% economic interest), Idaho Wind (27.6% economic interest), Meadow Creek (100% economic interest); Rockland Wind Farm (50% economic interest, but consolidated on a 100% basis); and Canadian Hills (99% economic interest).As a result of the sale, we deconsolidated approximately $249 million of project debt (or approximately $274 million as adjusted for our proportional ownership of Rockland, Goshen North and Idaho Wind) and approximately $224 million of non-controlling interest related to tax equity interests at Canadian Hills and the minority ownership interests at Rockland and Canadian Hills. The Wind Projects were designated as assets held for sale and discontinued operations on March 31, 2015, the date we established a firm commitment to a plan to sell the wind assets. Our determination to designate the Wind Projects as discontinued operations was based on the impact the sale would have on our operations and financial results and because the Wind Projects made up the entirety of our Wind reportable Segment. We stopped depreciating the property, plant and equipment of the Wind Projects on the designation date. The following table summarizes the revenue and income (loss) from operations of the Wind Projects for the three months ended March 31, 2015:
