CONTEXT NEWS

Regulated utility Allete said on May 6 that it had agreed to be acquired by a partnership led by Canada Pension Plan Investment Board and Global Infrastructure Partners for $67 per share, or $6.2 billion including assumed debt. The price is a 19% premium to where Allete’s shares closed on Dec. 4, the day before Reuters said the company was in sale discussions.

Allete serves customers in Minnesota and Wisconsin. It is also a renewable energy developer and plans to invest over $4 billion in clean energy and transmission projects by 2027.
