Deal significance: ICF will buy Enwave Australia under its Energy Infrastructure Trust, one of Australia’s largest portfolios of energy assets. The transaction does not require any regulatory approvals and financial close is excepted towards the end of 2019.

In addition to Tas Gas, Enwave Australia owns and operates district energy and utility networks businesses which develops, builds, owns and operates multi-utility precincts nationally. This currently includes precincts in Central Part and Mascot in NSW and in Tonsely in South Australia.
