Blackstone Inc.’s credit investment unit said on May 20 it has bought a 49% stake in an LNG facility in Georgia from private equity firm EIG Global Energy Partners.
The deal, whose terms were not disclosed, comes at a time of red-hot demand for U.S. LNG as Western sanctions on Russian fuel squeeze supply.
U.S. pipeline operator Kinder Morgan Inc. will continue holding the remaining 51% of Elba Liquefaction Co.
The facility has the capacity to liquefy about 2.5 million tons of LNG per year for export, Blackstone Credit said in a statement.
