Enbridge (NYSE:ENB) plans to accelerate its divestment program by selling assets valued at ~C$8B (US$6.4B) this year, more than twice its initial sale target, Reuters reports.
Under pressure from both investors and rating agencies, ENB wants to ramp up the sale of non-core assets from C$3B it forecast in November, according to the report.
ENB is said to be working with an investment bank to sell Canadian and U.S. renewable energy assets worth more than C$2B and seeks to offload Canadian midstream assets, largely the result of last year's merger with Spectra Energy, that could fetch as much as C$4B.
