Sempra Infrastructure Overview

About Sempra Infrastructure

Sempra Infrastructure develops, builds, operates and invests in energy infrastructure across North America, and is headquartered in Houston. Its liquefied natural gas business includes the operating Cameron LNG export facility in Louisiana, the Port Arthur LNG project on the Texas Gulf Coast and the ECA LNG project in Baja California, which gives Asian and Pacific Basin buyers access to US gas. It operates more than 7,700 kilometres of natural gas pipelines, over 1,600 MW of power generation in Mexico, of which 1,044 MW is renewable, and a network of refined products terminals. It earns revenue mainly from long-term contracted LNG, pipeline, storage and power agreements with utilities, industrial customers and international offtakers, and employs more than 2,300 people. The platform was formed in 2021 when Sempra combined its LNG business with IEnova, its Mexican infrastructure subsidiary. KKR bought 20% in 2021 and the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority 10% in 2022, leaving Sempra with 70%. In September 2025 Sempra agreed to sell a further 45% to a KKR-led consortium with CPP Investments at an enterprise value of USD 31.7 billion; at closing, expected in the third quarter of 2026, the consortium will own 65%, Sempra 25% and ADIA 10%.

Sempra Infrastructure Acquisition

Sempra Infrastructure was acquired by CPP Investments and KKR for $32B on 23 September 2025.

Sempra announced on September 23, 2025 that it had agreed to sell an additional 45% interest in Sempra Infrastructure Partners to a KKR-led consortium including CPP Investments. The purchase agreement had been signed on September 22. Headline consideration of approximately USD10 billion implied an equity value of USD22.2 billion and an enterprise value of USD31.7 billion. These were proceeds to Sempra as seller, not a primary financing round for the infrastructure platform. The payment schedule divided cash between closing and subsequent deferred payments, subject to adjustments. Upon completion, the KKR-led consortium would hold 65%, while Sempra would retain 25% and ADIA would retain its existing 10%. The sale was expected to close during the second or third quarter of 2026 following regulatory and other approvals. Sempra intended to recycle proceeds into its regulated United States utility growth program and deconsolidate the infrastructure subsidiary. The platform owned LNG and energy infrastructure activities in North America; the separately announced Port Arthur LNG Phase 2 project financing was a different transaction.

DateStageInvestorsValuationDeal Summary
Dec 2021SecondaryAbu Dhabi Investment Authority (lead)$27BSempra announced an agreement on December 21, 2021 to sell a 10% non-controlling interest in Sempra Infrastructure Partners to a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. The agreed cash consideration was USD1.785 billion, subject to customary closing adjustments. At signing, the transaction implied an enterprise value of USD26.5 billion including approximately USD8.6 billion of asset-related debt. Proceeds were payable to Sempra as seller rather than being primary capital raised by the infrastructure platform. The planned ownership structure comprised Sempra with 70%, KKR with its existing 20%, and ADIA with 10%. ADIA was to receive minority rights commensurate with its investment. Sempra intended to deploy sale proceeds toward utility capital expenditure, share repurchases and balance sheet support. The platform brought together LNG development, energy networks and clean power activities in North America. Closing was expected during summer 2022 subject to regulatory approvals and customary conditions. KKR’s continuing ownership did not constitute a fresh investment in this separate ADIA purchase.
Apr 2021SecondaryKKR (lead)$25BSempra announced a definitive agreement on April 5, 2021 to sell a 20% non-controlling interest in Sempra Infrastructure Partners to KKR for USD3.37 billion in cash. The transaction valued the infrastructure platform at approximately USD25.2 billion including USD8.37 billion of expected asset-related debt. The cash consideration was payable to selling shareholder Sempra and was not primary capital raised by the target. The transaction formed part of Sempra’s plan to combine its LNG operations with IEnova under a single infrastructure business. IEnova operated renewable energy and natural gas infrastructure in Mexico, while Sempra LNG developed liquefied natural gas export projects. Sempra intended to use proceeds to support growth at its United States utilities and strengthen its balance sheet. KKR acquired a minority interest while Sempra retained control. Completion remained subject to regulatory approvals and other customary conditions. The investment concerned the infrastructure operating platform as a whole, distinct from later direct equity investments in individual Port Arthur LNG projects.
