Ontario Teachers’ Pension Plan Board (“Ontario Teachers’”) is pleased to announce that it has entered into a definitive agreement with TPG, a global alternative asset firm, to acquire a 100 percent interest in Evoltz Participações S.A. (“Evoltz”), a leading electricity transmission platform in Brazil.
Founded by TPG in 2018, Evoltz consists of seven electricity transmission lines that total more than 3,500km across 10 states in Brazil.
“Evoltz is a highly attractive portfolio of power transmission concessions that provides reliable power to businesses and consumers across Brazil,” said Dale Burgess, Senior Managing Director, Infrastructure & Natural Resources at Ontario Teachers’. “Our strategy focuses on allocating significant capital to high-quality core infrastructure assets with lower risks and stable inflation-linked cash flows. Electricity transmission businesses are particularly attractive given their importance in facilitating a transition to a low-carbon economy.”
