In today's edition of The Pipeline, Blackstone's Schwarzman addresses opposition to data centres, the EU probes a KKR deal, and IFM clinches a £10 billion UK ports deal.
The start-of-the-week briefing from Infrastructure Investor covers three developments in the infrastructure investment sector. Blackstone's Schwarzman speaks to growing pushback against data centre projects, an issue increasingly shaping where and how large-scale digital infrastructure can be built.
Elsewhere, the European Union has opened a probe into a KKR deal, a move that puts the transaction under regulatory scrutiny. The outcome could carry implications for how private equity firms structure infrastructure acquisitions across the bloc.
The briefing also highlights IFM's £10 billion agreement for UK ports, one of the largest infrastructure commitments in the segment. The deal reflects continued investor appetite for transport and logistics assets in the UK.
The Pipeline is published for subscribers only, offering a concise weekly view of the deals and debates driving infrastructure investment.
