Chevron’s slogan may be “finding newer, cleaner ways to power the world.” But the country’s second-biggest oil company continues a retreat from businesses that develop renewable energy.

In its latest move, Chevron is selling off at least a portion of its clean-energy subsidiary, dubbed Chevron Energy Solutions, which builds solar arrays and energy-saving retrofits for such customers as school districts and local governments, Bloomberg Businessweek has learned.
