Abu Dhabi National Energy Co. (TAQA) has sold its seven percent stake in US electric automaker Tesla Motors, making a profit of $113 million (£71m) on the sale.
The 75 percent state-owned utility had 7.3 million Tesla shares transferred to it by the Abu Dhabi Water and Electricity Authority in late 2010. A spokesman said TAQA had "admiration for Tesla's vision, technology and products", but that the automaker was a non-core investment for the organization.
