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.
