Brookfield Infrastructure Completes Gas Pipeline Sale, Plans Further Asset Divestitures

Brookfield Infrastructure Partners LP announced its complete exit from the U.S. gas pipeline business by selling its remaining 25% stake, generating total proceeds of over $1.7 billion and achieving an 18% internal rate of return (IRR). This sale, combined with previous financing, has yielded over $900 million in proceeds in the last 18 months. Additionally, the firm has initiated the sale of a 30% interest in a European data center portfolio for approximately $460 million, marking the first step in its monetization strategy. CEO Sam Pollock highlighted that the company has secured over $700 million from asset sales since the beginning of 2025. Brookfield's proactive asset monetization strategy aims to raise $5 to $6 billion over the next two years, although potential market volatility and regulatory changes present risks to future transactions.
