Duke Energy Corp. , in a bid to improve its financial footing, said recently it plans to sell power plants in the Southeast United States that are owned by its merchant energy group subsidiary, Duke Energy North America.

The company did not specify which facilities are for sale, but it owns eight gas-fired power stations in four Southeast states totaling about 5,300 megawatts of generating capacity.

In addition to its Southeast plants, Duke said it will not spend any more money completing three plants it started building in the western states.

A spokesman at Duke, Peter Sheffield, told Reuters the company, "may look to partner with another company to complete the three western plants or sell their interest outright."

The following is a list of the plants owned by Duke in the Southeast: PLANT (GENERATING CAPACITY)STATE COMMERCIAL OPERATION

Hinds Energy Facility (520 MW)Miss.

May 2001 - New Albany Energy Facility (350 MW)Miss.
