Engie announced today the sale of a portion of the Associated Gas Transporter (TAG) to the Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (CDPQ) for a significant amount of R$ 3 billion. With this transaction, the Canadian fund and the French company now hold the same stake in TAG.

Engie Brazil Energy, which currently holds 32.5% of TAG, will reduce its stake to 17.5%, while GDF International, another division of the Engie group, will maintain its 32.5% stake. Meanwhile, CDPQ will increase its share from 35% to 50% through its wholly-owned subsidiary CDP Groupe Infrastructures Inc. This negotiation strengthens Engie’s presence in the energy market and expands investment opportunities for the company.

Engie: Partial Divestment And Valuation Of The Carrier

At a strategic moment, Engie analyzed the possibility of a partial divestment in TAG as part of an asset rotation, according to Eduardo Takamori, Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations Officer of Engie Brazil Energy. The company has a solid pipeline of projects in execution, without adding pressure to leverage, ratings, and payout.

Engie and CDPQ acquired 90% of TAG in 2019 from Petrobras for R$ 8.6 billion at the time (R$ 11.2 billion adjusted). This move represented a significant boost for both companies, strengthening their stake in the company.

It is noteworthy that TAG holds the most extensive natural gas transportation pipeline network in Brazil, including a pipeline infrastructure of about 4,500 km, covering part of the southeast coast and Northeast, in addition to a segment connecting Urucu to Manaus (AM) in the northern region of the country.
