LS Power announced the completion of its acquisition of BP's US onshore wind business, BP Wind Energy North America Inc., on December 9, 2025. The transaction adds approximately 1,300 MW net ownership of operating onshore wind capacity across 10 projects to LS Power's diversified portfolio of renewable, energy storage, flexible natural gas, and renewable fuels assets.

With this addition, LS Power now operates more than 22,300 MW of American-based generation capacity along with more than 780 miles of high-voltage transmission lines. The New York-based company describes itself as a leading development, investment, and operating company focused on the North American power and energy infrastructure sector.

Strategic Integration and Portfolio Expansion

The acquired BP Wind Energy will be integrated into Clearlight Energy, one of LS Power's renewable generation platforms operating across the U.S. and Canada. Following the acquisition, Clearlight Energy now manages approximately 4,300 MW of wind, solar, and battery storage assets, strengthening its capabilities as a leading independent renewable operator in North America.

Clearlight Energy was established in 2025 as an LS Power company and operates a portfolio of utility-scale solar, wind, and battery storage projects across North America. The company focuses on providing operational excellence to supply critical energy capacity and meet growing demand.

Geographic Footprint and Project Locations

The acquired projects are located across seven states: Indiana, Kansas, South Dakota, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Hawaii, and Idaho. This geographic distribution expands Clearlight Energy's national footprint and enhances the diversity of its operating fleet.

The transaction represents part of LS Power's broader strategy, which Chief Executive Officer Paul Segal described as a “more of everything” approach. Segal stated that the acquisition “reflects our ability to identify and execute on opportunities that address today's most pressing energy challenges.”

Market Context and Company Strategy

According to Segal, electricity demand is surging while new development timelines are extending, making operating assets that can deliver clean, reliable power at a meaningful scale increasingly critical. He explained that LS Power is “pursuing opportunities across the energy landscape that help meet growing energy demand and position our renewable platforms for long-term growth.”

The transaction closed on December 9, 2025, following the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including regulatory approvals. Greenberg Traurig, LLP served as legal advisor to LS Power on the acquisition, while Barclays and Santander served as financial advisors.
