Disclosure of Long Lived Assets Held-for-sale [Table Text Block] | Held-for-Sale Itabo — In June 2020, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 43% ownership interest in Itabo, a coal-fired plant and gas turbine in Dominican Republic, for $101 million. The sale is subject to regulatory approval and is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020. As of June 30, 2020, Itabo was classified as held-for-sale, but did not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations. On a consolidated basis, the carrying value of the Itabo facility as of June 30, 2020 was $194 million. Itabo is reported in the MCAC SBU reportable segment. Jordan — In February 2019, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its 36% ownership interest in two generation plants, IPP1 and IPP4, and a solar plant in Jordan. In December 2019, the original sales agreement expired, and in April 2020, one of the potential buyers withdrew from the transaction due to the uncertain economic conditions surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic. The Company continues with an active process to complete the sale of its controlling interest in IPP1 and IPP4 and believes the sale remains probable. However, as of June 30, 2020, the solar plant no longer met the held-for-sale criteria. As such, the solar plant was reclassified as held and used as of June 30, 2020. The generation plants remain classified as held-for-sale, but do not meet the criteria to be reported as discontinued operations. On a consolidated basis, the carrying value of the plants held-for-sale as of June 30, 2020 was $153 million. Jordan is reported in the Eurasia SBU reportable segment.
