The deal will create North America’s largest natural gas utility platform, Calgary-based Enbridge said in a statement Tuesday.
Enbridge’s proposed takeover of the East Ohio Gas Company, Questar Gas Company and Public Service Company of North Carolina is the latest deal to arise from Dominion’s corporate review. It comes nearly two months after it agreed to sell a $3.3 billion stake in a Maryland liquefied natural gas export project to Berkshire Hathaway Energy.
Dominion shares rose 2.6% in after-hours trading.
The deal is valued at $14 billion including debt. It will double the size of Enbridge’s gas utility business, it said in the statement.
