El Paso Corp. said Friday that it eliminated about $815 million of non-recource debt on its balance sheet by closing the sale of Utility Contract Funding (UCF) to Bear Stearns’ Houston Energy Group for $21 million. UCF assets include a power contract that was restructured as part of the company’s previous power restructuring activities. El Paso said it will take a pre-tax charge of $100 million on the sale based on the company’s investment in the equity of this entity.
