Enbridge (ENB) Acquires TGE to Expand Its Renewable Business
Read MoreHide Full Article
Enbridge Inc. (ENB - Free Report) announced that it acquired Tri Global Energy (“TGE”) for $270 million and assumed its debt as part of plans to strengthen its renewable business.
TGE is a leading onshore wind developer in the United States, with a large pipeline of wind and solar energy projects under construction. The company will receive up to $50 million in additional payments upon the implementation of certain projects. TGE’s debt amounted to $17 million.
TGE has more than 8.7 gigawatts (GW) of projects, which are either operating, under development or financed across Texas, Nebraska, Illinois, Indiana, Virginia, Pennsylvania and Wyoming. The company will have 3 GW of projects brought into service by 2024-2028.
Enbridge is known for its pipeline network that transports huge quantities of Canada crude to the United States. Renewables currently comprise only 5% of ENB’s overall business. The company is focused on expanding its renewable portfolio.
The acquisition strengthens Enbridge’s renewable portfolio, with offshore wind farms in Europe and solar projects supplying power to its North America pipelines. The combination of TGE’s massive development pipeline and its renewable capabilities make this a synergistic investment for Enbridge to expand organically at attractive equity returns.
Enbridge invested billions of dollars in renewables and energy transmission projects, including onshore and offshore wind, utility-scale solar, geothermal, and hydroelectric energy. The company also develops solar projects to generate renewable power for its assets and operations. The latest acquisition enhances Enbridge’s ambition for renewable power and low carbon infrastructure.
