Simultaneously, strategic equity partnership Terra Nova Renewable Partners acquired SunEdison's interest in the transaction for the same price. Terra Nova now owns the 33% interest in Dominion's 567 MW solar portfolio through the consummation of both phases of the transaction.

This second phase of the transaction is for nine out of the 24 total projects in Dominion's portfolio.
