The Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments) said it reached an agreement to invest $843 million in Tallgrass, now majority sponsored by private equity giant Blackstone.

“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,” CPP Investments’ Bill Rogers, global head of sustainable energies, said.
