Marina Terminal Facility, Atlantic City, NJ
ATLANTIC CITY, NJ—South Jersey Industries (SJI) reports it has sold its eight-megawatt Marina Thermal Facility to DTE Energy Services of Detroit for $100 million in cash.
The Marina Thermal Facility is a combined heat and power generation facility that provides electricity and hot and chilled water to both the Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa and The Water Club.
"The agreement to sell the Marina Thermal Facility marks another achievement in SJI's ongoing business transformation by monetizing a non-core asset, allowing us to focus on our long-term growth strategy," says Steven Cocchi, SVP and chief strategy and development officer. "While the sale marks the end of a remarkably successful 15-year operating history, SJI looks forward to collaborating with DTE Energy Services in support of a seamless transition to ensure the needs of Borgata Hotel Casino & Spa and The Water Club will continue to be met."
The sale is expected to close within 60 days, SJI states.
