Engie Sells 50% of TAG to Canadian Fund CDPQ, Increasing Subsidiary Leverage and Attracting Attractive Investment Options.

Engie made an important announcement this Thursday (12/28) by selling 15% of the Transportadora Associada de Gás (TAG) to Caisse de Dépôt et Placement du Québec (CDPQ) for R$ 3 billion. With this transaction, the Canadian fund and the French group now have the same stake in the company.

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

The negotiation represents a significant increase in the valuation of the transporter compared to 2020, when Engie purchased the remaining 10% from Petrobras for R$ 1 billion at the time (R$ 1.4 billion adjusted).

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

TAG, a wholly-owned subsidiary of Engie, has the largest natural gas transportation network in Brazil, with a pipeline infrastructure of approximately 4,500 km, located along part of the Southeast and Northeast coast of the country, as well as a stretch that connects Urucu to Manaus (AM) in the North region.

Attractive Option

A giant printer called the “Ferrari” of concrete has landed in Latin America and can already build a 120-square-meter house in just 48 hours, making the traditional construction site look like something from the last century.

Brazil will harvest a record crop of up to 357 million tons of grains, but it does not have the capacity to store a large part of it. The storage deficit has reached the highest level in history and is equivalent to almost the entire production of Argentina.

Four times faster than the Concorde, capable of taking passengers from New York to London in less than an hour at Mach 5.5, and with an engine that switches from turbojet to ramjet mid-flight at Mach 3.5, the Hermeus Quarterhorse went from paper to its first flight in just 19 months.

Under nearly 2 kilometers of ice in Antarctica, scientists have discovered an ancient landscape sculpted by rivers up to 60 million years ago, the size of Wales, preserved as a time capsule that could help predict the advance of ice towards the ocean.

She started by collecting oyster shells from restaurants and today she has already accumulated more than 10 tons to restore reefs, recover coastal habitats, and demonstrate how a common waste can become a tool for ocean conservation.

SpaceX will dock a $843 million vehicle to the International Space Station to push a nearly 420-ton laboratory against the atmosphere and make the debris fall in a controlled manner into the ocean.

For the economist José Kobori, the USA gained a trump card to “blackmail” Brazil and undermine China’s influence by classifying the PCC and Comando Vermelho as terrorists, increasing the power to pressure companies, banks, and even Pix.

BYD Atto 2 DM-i flex prepares to debut in Brazil with a plug-in hybrid engine, national assembly in Camaçari, competitive pricing, and targets Creta and T-Cross in a battle that promises to heat up the compact SUV market.

Processors can become 1,000 times faster with a new device that uses light pulses, operates in 40 picoseconds, and reduces the heat that stalls data centers.

Noise in the sky frightened residents: NASA confirms that a meteor exploded over New England with a force equivalent to 230 tons of TNT

The paycheck that seemed impossible: São José employee receives R$ 7.94 after legal strike, while deductions by the City Hall affect over a thousand employees and become a target of inquiry in the City Council.
