Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway will acquire gas lines owned by Dominion Energy in a nearly $10 billion deal.
The energy division of Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway will acquire gas lines owned by the power company Dominion Energy in a nearly $10 billion deal, the two companies announced Sunday.
Dominion has sought to expand its pipelines along the Atlantic Coast for years to take advantage of the nation's fracking boom. However, after a number of regulatory hurdles, the Virginia-based company is abandoning those plans and ceding control of its natural gas and storage network to Berkshire Hathaway.
Dominion has more than 7 million energy customers across 20 states in the U.S. Berkshire Hathaway Energy provides service to 12 million customers around the world.In addition to owning 100% of Dominion Energy Transmission, Berkshire Hathaway will also take a 25% stake in Cove Point, a natural gas facility in Maryland. Berkshire Hathaway will also own 50% of Iroquois, a natural gas system that serves the Northeast.
The $9.7 billion deal does not include acquisition of the proposed 600-mile Atlantic Coast Pipeline, a joint venture between Dominion and Duke Energy that would've stretched from West Virginia through Virginia and North Carolina.Sunday, Dominion and Duke said plans for the Atlantic Coast Pipeline were abandoned due to"ongoing delays and increasing cost uncertainty which threaten the economic viability of the project.
