The sales agreement also includes the acquisition by LS Power of a 100 percent ownership interest of Southern Power's DeSoto County Generating Company LLC, which has a 320-megawatt plant in Arcadia, Fla.

Southern Power is a subsidiary of Atlanta-based Southern Co. that acquires, builds, manages and owns wholesale generation assets.
