Brookfield to buy Colonial Pipeline for about $9bln, including debt
Brookfield Infrastructure Partners is buying Colonial Pipeline, the largest U.S. fuel transportation system, in a deal valued at about $9 billion, including debt, the company said on Thursday.
The deal to acquire all assets of Colonial Enterprises, including Colonial Pipeline, is expected to close in the second half of 2025.
Colonial's pipeline system stretches over 5,500 miles from Houston in Texas to New York's harbor. It moves 100 million gallons of fuel daily, including gasoline, jet fuel, diesel and heating oil, according to its website.
The flagship listed infrastructure company of Brookfield Asset Management will have an equity investment of $500 million in Colonial Enterprises at the deal's closing.
Shell said late on Thursday it was selling its interest in Colonial Enterprises to Colossus AcquireCo, a Brookfield subsidiary, for $1.45 billion.
Colonial's owners - including Canadian pension fund Caisse de dépôt et placement du Québec (CDPQ), Shell, and investment firm KKR - had begun exploring a sale of Colonial Pipeline last year.
CDPQ bought its stake in Colonial for $850 million in 2012 from ConocoPhillips. IFM Investors and KKR acquired their respective 15.8% and 23.4% holdings in 2007 and 2010.
Shell consolidated its 16.13% into a single holding in 2019, while a subsidiary of Koch Industries has held its current 28.1% position since 2003.
Reuters reported earlier this week that Brookfield emerged as the winner of an auction process, which the five owners of the pipeline have been running over several months, to buy Colonial Pipeline for more than $9 billion including debt.

Schneider Electric Named Most Sustainable Corporation In Europe
Schneider Electric has been ranked the Most Sustainable Corporation in Europe by Corporate Knights, a Canadian media and research company focused on corporate sustainability performance. This recognition places Schneider Electric at the top of the inaugural Europe 50 ranking, which evaluated over 600 publicly listed European companies across a comprehensive set of sustainability criteria. It follows the company's earlier distinction in January 2025 as the World's Most Sustainable Corporation, also awarded by Corporate Knights as part of their renowned Global 100. Together, these accolades reaffirm Schneider Electric's unwavering commitment to sustainability and its leadership in driving meaningful change across industries and geographies. 'At Schneider Electric, sustainability is not just a priority among others —it is embedded in our purpose and mission,' said Esther Finidori, recently appointed Chief Sustainability Officer at Schneider Electric. 'Being named the Most Sustainable Corporation in Europe is a powerful recognition of our efforts to drive positive impact through innovation, transparency, and collaboration. We are proud to lead by example and remain committed to accelerating our contribution to a more sustainable and inclusive world.' The Europe 50 ranking builds on the same rigorous methodology used for the Global 100, evaluating companies on a wide range of ESG performance indicators such as carbon productivity, clean revenue, board diversity, and sustainability-linked investments. Its scope encompasses constituents of the STOXX Europe 600 Index as well as the top 100 publicly traded companies headquartered in Europe by market capitalization. This dual recognition—both globally and regionally—highlights the positive impact Schneider Electric is making. Through its innovative technologies and solutions, the company supports customers and partners in reducing their environmental footprint, improving energy efficiency, and advancing their sustainability goals.

India's Modi says he's received invitation for G7 summit in Canada
India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi said he looked forward to meeting his Canadian counterpart Mark Carney during the Group of Seven summit, after the latter invited him to the gathering over a phone call on Friday. India is not a part of the grouping but can be invited as a guest to its annual gathering, which will be held this year in Kananaskis in the Canadian province of Alberta, from June 15-17. "Glad to receive a call from Prime Minister (Carney)...thanked him for the invitation to the G7 Summit in Kananaskis later this forward to our meeting at the Summit," Modi said in a post on X. The invitation suggests that both sides want to rebuild ties, which have nosedived in the last two years after Canada accused India of involvement undefined in a Sikh separatist leader's murder, and of attempting to interfere in the country's 2019 and 2021 elections. New Delhi denied both allegations. Modi also stated in his post that India and Canada would work together "with renewed vigour, guided by mutual respect and shared interests". India is Canada's 10th largest trading partner and Canada is the biggest exporter of pulses, including lentils, to India. Ottawa holds the rotational G7 presidency this year.
