Kinder Morgan natural gas pipelines president Sital Mody said: “STX Midstream nicely complements our existing assets and will enable us to capture incremental opportunities serving LNG [liquefied natural gas], power generation, LDC customers and exports to Mexico.”

Due to be completed in the first half of 2024, the transaction is subject to receipt of Hart-Scott-Rodino anti-trust approval and customary closing conditions, among others.

Proceeds from the sale will be used to reduce the outstanding Texas pipeline portfolio’s project-related debt, complete the $1.1bn buyout remaining under the NEP Renewables II CEPF by June 2025 and reduce a portion of the outstanding corporate revolver loan.
