Conesville - In May 2020, AEP, the operator of the formerly co-owned Conesville EGU, retired Conesville Unit 4 as planned. On June 5, 2020, DPL and AES Ohio Generation, together with AEP, completed the transfer of their interests in the retired Unit 4, including the associated environmental liabilities, to an unaffiliated third-party purchaser. For the transaction, DPL will make quarterly cash expenditures, totaling $4.0 million, through July 2022, of which $2.6 million has been paid through June 30, 2021. The transfer of Conesville Unit 4 was the last step in DPL's plan to exit its AES Ohio Generation business operations.

DPL determined that the transfer of Conesville along with the transfers of Stuart and Killen in 2019 and the sales of the Peaker Assets in 2018 and Miami Fort and Zimmer in 2017 constitute the disposal of a group of components, which, as a whole, represent a strategic shift to exit its AES Ohio Generation business. As such, the disposal of this group of components qualifies to be presented as discontinued operations. Therefore, the results of operations of this group of components have been reported as such in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented.

The following table summarizes the revenues, operating costs, other expenses and income tax of discontinued operations for the periods indicated:
