The deals are worth $4.1bn on an enterprise value basis. Net proceeds from the transactions are expected to be worth approximately $950m.
Brookfield Infrastructure CEO Sam Pollock said: “The sale of Enwave caps off a hugely successful investment for Brookfield Infrastructure, one in which we grew the business significantly through organic growth initiatives and follow-on acquisitions.
“These transactions begin what we anticipate being another strong year for Brookfield Infrastructure’s capital recycling program.”
Brookfield Infrastructure acquired Enwave in 2012. Under Brookfield’s ownership, Enwave’s network expanded with the acquisitions of district energy systems.
