Mark Carney’s investment company has bought National Grid’s renewables business as the former Bank of England governor runs for political high office.
The Canadian asset manager Brookfield, which is chaired by Mr Carney, is expected to complete the $1.7bn (£1.3bn) takeover of the National Grid operation by the end of September.
The deal comes as Mr Carney, who last year raised $10bn for the group’s eco-friendly investment fund, battles to succeed Justin Trudeau as the leader of Canada’s Liberal Party in a contest on March 9.
I do not want this Green-Scam profiteer as PM.
