Infrastructure & Energy Deals

LS Power secured a $5 billion regulatory sweetener for its gas infrastructure ambitions, even as broader trends suggest a deceleration in the North American energy buildout, evidenced by a reported 50 percent slowdown in U.S. data centre growth.

Furthermore, the industry's focus on active management was underscored by Igneo Infrastructure Partners discussing its exit strategy lessons from its first Euro fund and preference for quarterly valuations to avoid explaining valuation drops to clients.

This latest transaction brings the total number of similar UK assets held by Hines, via its core-plus HEPP fund, to eight, reflecting continued institutional appetite for last-mile distribution assets despite broader economic cooling.
