Brookfield Infrastructure Corporation (“BIPC”) and its subsidiaries own and operate regulated utilities investments in Brazil and the U.K. BIPC is a subsidiary of our partnership.
The partnership, alongside institutional partners (the “IPL consortium”), announced its intention to acquire the remaining outstanding shares of Inter Pipeline Ltd.
