Vivendi sells U.S. power units for $2.1 bln
PARIS, Feb 20 (Reuters) - French conglomerate Vivendi said Sunday that its subsidiary Sithe Energies had sold 40 independent power-producing units to Reliant in the United States for $2.1 billion.

A Vivendi statement said the power plants had been purchased in November from GPU (NYSE:GPU - news) and that the present sale had yielded $450 million in capital gains.

Vivendi said the sale would allow it to immediately reduce a large part of its debt. The company said it planned to cut its debt by selling off its power-generating businesses.

Among the plants sold were 17 units in Pennsylvania, four in New Jersey and one in Maryland, Vivendi said.
