National Grid said it intended to use total proceeds of £700m towards general corporate purposes including repayment of debt. The consortium also has the option, exercisable between 1 May 2024 and 31 July 2024, to buy all or part of the remaining 20%.
The stake sale would be on the equivalent financial terms as when it sold a 60% stake to the consortium in January. That deal had implied an enterprise value of about £9.6bn for the unit.
