- Description: Formerly Southern Energy, Mirant (pronounced MEER-uhnt) has energy assets on both sides of the Mason-Dixon Line as well as around the world. A top North American energy trader, the company operates 22,000 MW of generating capacity in the Asia/Pacific region, Europe, the Americas, and the Caribbean. It markets electricity, natural gas, and other commodities and offers risk management services. Due to poor market conditions, Mirant is dissolving its European energy trading business and is scaling back its US trading operations. Mirant has sold its 45% stake in Berlin utility Bewag and its 49% stake in UK utility WPD Holdings. Former parent Southern Company spun off its stake in Mirant to shareholders in 2001.
