Abu Dhabi National Energy Co (TAQA) is selling its 40 percent stake in a Dutch natural gas pipeline to a Danish pension fund for $240 million as the investment no longer meets its growth strategy in the country, it said on Sunday.
The sale of the stake in Noordgastransport B.V. (NGT) to pension fund PensionDanmark A/S is expected to close in 2013, TAQA, which is 75-percent owned by the Abu Dhabi government, said in a statement to the stock exchange. It declined to say how much it paid for the stake, bought from Royal DSM in 2009.
David Cook, head of oil & gas operations said in a separate statement TAQA's strategy was to maximise its portfolio's value and it would focus on an 800 million euro ($1 billion) storage project, Bergermeer, in which it has a 60-percent stake.
