Spark Infrastructure and Hastings Funds Management are members of the international consortium that will acquire New South Wales-based TransGrid. Canada’s Caisse de depot et placement du Quebec and two Middle Eastern sovereign wealth funds hold the largest stakes in the winning consortium, which will pay $A10.3bn for the electricity transmission grid. Simon Mawhinney of Allan Gray says the consortium is paying a "full price" for TransGrid, although the sale price has been criticised by unions.
