Company Sells 50% of Natural Gas Transporter to Canadian Fund CDPQ, Expanding Pipeline and Transport Network Projects.

Engie announced on Thursday (01/10) the sale of part of its stake in Transportadora Associada de Gás (TAG) to the 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 share in the company.

Engie Brasil Energia, which currently holds 32.5% of TAG, will reduce its stake to 17.5%. Meanwhile, GDF International, also part of the Engie group, will maintain its 32.5% stake. CDPQ will increase its share from 35% to 50% through the wholly owned subsidiary CDP Groupe Infrastructures Inc.

TAG: Divestment Opportunity

An attractive option for implementing asset rotation is the partial divestment in TAG, at a time when Transportadora Associada de Gás has a solid pipeline of projects in implementation. This occurs without increasing pressure on the leverage, ratings, and payout of the company, explained Eduardo Takamori, Chief Financial Officer and Investor Relations Director at Engie Brasil Energia.
