Origin Energy has reduced its stake in the Australia Pacific LNG project to 27.5 per cent after striking a $2.12bn deal with EIG Global Energy Partners. The private equity group will acquire a 10 per cent stake in the project; EIG CEO R. Blair Thomas says the deal reflects the importance of LNG as a "critical enabler" of the transition to clean energy. Origin Energy has signalled that some of the expected net proceeds of $2bn from the deal may be reinvested in clean energy and storage projects, in addition to reducing debt.
