Canada Pension Plan Investment Board has signed and closed a definitive agreement to invest approximately $843 million (C$1.2 billion) in Tallgrass Energy, a leading energy infrastructure company.
Based in Denver, Colorado, Tallgrass is a leading infrastructure company operating a network of more than 10,000 miles of pipeline assets across 14 states in the U.S. The company is currently engaged in several initiatives aligned with the global transition to a lower-carbon future, including the development of CO₂, hydrogen, renewable fuels, and decarbonized power assets.
“With a business strategy that combines traditional energy and decarbonization solutions, Tallgrass is an attractive investment opportunity because of its dual role in delivering against growing energy needs and increasing decarbonization opportunities,” said Bill Rogers, managing director, global head of Sustainable Energies at CPP Investments.
“We are excited to partner with Blackstone and combine our investment and energy expertise to help support the Tallgrass team,” added Rogers.
“Over the last five years, we have worked closely with Matt Sheehy and the Tallgrass management team to develop and operate industry-defining large-scale energy infrastructure. We are delighted to welcome our long-term partner, CPP Investments, as a new investor in Tallgrass, combining our resources to support Tallgrass for continued growth,” said Matthew Runkle, a senior managing director and head of Renewables and Midstream within the Infrastructure Group at Blackstone.
