Engie Sold 50% of TAG to Canadian Fund CDPQ. The Natural Gas Carrier Now Has a New Partner.

Engie completed the sale of 15% of Transportadora Associada de Gás (TAG) to Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (CDPQ) for R$ 3 billion, announced this Thursday (28/12). With this transaction, the Canadian fund and the French company now hold the same stake in the company.

Engie Brasil Energia, which owns 32.5% of TAG, will see its stake decrease to 17.5%, while GDF International, also belonging to the Engie group, will maintain its 32.5% stake. On the other hand, CDPQ will increase its share from 35% to 50% through its wholly-owned subsidiary CDP Groupe Infrastructures Inc.

Engie and Its Divestment Strategy in TAG

‘The partial divestment in TAG is an attractive option to implement an asset rotation at a time when Engie has a solid pipeline of projects underway, without increasing pressure on Engie’s leverage, ratings, and payout’, explained Eduardo Takamori, Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations Director at Engie Brasil Energia.

The deal represents a significant increase in the valuation of the carrier compared to 2020, when Engie purchased the remaining 10% from Petrobras for R$ 1 billion in period values (R$ 1.4 billion adjusted).

Petrobras sold 90% of TAG in 2019 to Engie and CDPQ for R$ 8.6 billion in period values (R$ 11.2 billion adjusted).

TAG, the associated gas carrier belonging to the French group Engie, has the most extensive natural gas transportation network in Brazil, with a pipeline infrastructure of approximately 4,500 km, located along part of the Southeast coast and the Northeast coast of the country, in addition to a section linking Urucu to Manaus (AM) in the North region.

Engie and Its Divestment Strategy in TAG

In the cold desert of Ladakh, where it hardly rains, engineer Sonam Wangchuk created the ice stupa, a tower that freezes winter water and stores it for irrigating crops in the spring, a simple engineering feat that mimics nature.

Almost 6,000 residents live concentrated along a single street nearly 9 km long in the interior of Poland. Houses form a continuous row, and behind them, narrow agricultural strips emerge, creating one of the most unusual rural patterns in Europe.

Júlia Pimentel, an 11-year-old from Minas Gerais, independently invented a new formula to calculate the square root using simple addition and multiplication, and her method was published in one of the most important mathematical scientific journals in Brazil.

They planted a sea of eucalyptus to produce cellulose, but the monoculture turned into a green desert, dried up springs and rivers, and pushed families out of regions in Minas Gerais and Bahia.

Chinese woman planted trees for decades while sand buried part of her house, received $5,000 from an American in 1999, and helped transform the desert into a forest of 8 million trees in China.

Without her own home and pressured by rent, a 25-year-old bought a small 15-meter boat, gradually renovated the interior by herself, transformed the interior with paint, new flooring, a larger bathroom, and started living on the canals, paying much less per month.

Heir bought 23,000 degraded acres in the Scottish Highlands, fenced the area, planted nearly 1 million native trees, and transformed empty mountains into a forest officially recognized after meeting 15 evaluation criteria over 20 years.
