据Gas Processing & LNG网站圣地亚哥报道，美国知名天然气公用事业和电力公司桑普拉能源公司（Sempra Energy）宣布，该公司日前已完成向ArcLight Capital Partners (ArcLight)麾下的一家附属公司出售其非公用事业公司美国天然气存储设施的交易，交易金额为3.28亿美元现金，交易完成后将按惯例进行调整。ArcLight的子公司Enstor Gas将继续运营这些设施。

桑普拉能源公司总裁兼首席运营官约瑟夫·豪斯霍尔德说：“随着这些资产的出售，我们可以重新配置我们的资本来增加我们的核心电力和天然气基础设施业务。由于我们努力成为北美首屈一指的能源基础设施公司，我们将专注于在最具吸引力的市场扩大我们的领导地位。”

这次出售包括桑普拉能源公司在Bay Gas公司中大约91%的股份。就在出售之前，桑普拉能源公司麾下的子公司从一家少数股权所有者那里获得了大约9%的股权，并将其包括在出售给ArcLight的交易中。

ArcLight现在拥有密西西比中心和Bay Gas公司100%的股份。

Sempra Energy sells natural gas storage assets

Sempra Energy announced that it has completed the sale of its non-utility U.S. natural gas storage facilities to an affiliate of ArcLight Capital Partners (ArcLight) for $328 million in cash, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. ArcLight's affiliate Enstor Gas will operate the facilities going forward.

"With the sale of these assets, we can reallocate capital toward growing our core electric and natural gas infrastructure businesses," said Joseph A. Householder, president and chief operating officer of Sempra Energy. "We are focused on expanding our leadership position in the most attractive markets as we strive to become North America's premier energy infrastructure company."

The sale included Sempra Energy's approximate 91-percent stake in Bay Gas. Immediately prior to the sale, Sempra Energy's subsidiary acquired the approximate 9-percent interest from a minority owner and included it in the sale to ArcLight. ArcLight owns now 100 percent of Mississippi Hub and Bay Gas.
