State Grid Corp. of China is reportedly in talks with U.S. power firm AES Corp. about taking a controlling stake in its U.S. wind power business, three sources said.
China's state-owned power companies are on an overseas buying spree.
It is unclear how much State Grid would pay for the assets or how the business would be structured after the sale. According to reports, the assets could be worth around $1.65 billion.
The deal involves wind power assets with capacity of around 1,100 MW and would give State Grid about an 80 percent stake in AES's U.S. wind power business, according to reports.
