On October 1, 2023, the Company sold its regulated natural gas utility assets in West Virginia, which served approximately 13,000 customers or about two percent of the Company’s regulated natural gas customers (“Peoples Gas West Virginia”). Initially the sale closed for an estimated purchase price of $39,965, subject to working capital and other adjustments. In March 2024, the Company received an additional $1,213 from the buyer. The additional proceeds were based on finalizing closing working capital and other adjustments, resulting in a final purchase price of $41,178 and a loss of an inconsequential amount. The sale of Peoples Gas West Virginia had no major effect on the Company’s operations and did not meet the requirements to be classified as discontinued operations.

In October 2023, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its interest in three non-utility local microgrid and distributed energy projects for $165,000. As of December 31, 2023, balances associated with these projects of $63,182 were included in prepayments and other current assets in the consolidated balance sheets. The sale was completed in January 2024, and the Company recognized a gain of $91,236 during the first quarter of 2024 which is included in other expense (income) in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations.
