Both companies expect to close the deal by the end of this year after obtaining the regulatory approvals.
CEV noted that the proceeds of the sale are expected to reduce the external financing needs.
NJR president and COO Stephen Westhoven said: “While we have divested our current wind portfolio, clean energy is an integral part of our business and we will continue to invest in clean energy projects that position NJR for long-term growth.”
With the deal, CEV has completed the sale of all its operating wind farms. It sold a 9.7MW wind farm for $18.5m earlier this year.
