The Globe and Mail reports in its Tuesday edition that asset manager KKR & Co. wants a slice of the action building data centres and to help transport energy in all its forms to new markets. The Globe's James Bradshaw writes that as competition for investment dollars intensifies, Canada's deep stores of energy resources, stable rule of law, proximity to the United States, and access to Asian and European markets have caught KKR's attention. So has the country's push to build major projects. "In the key sectors that are driving the biggest growth, be it energy, digital infrastructure, both Canada and the U.S. should play a really big role going forward," KKR's Brandon Freiman told The Globe. In the span of a decade, KKR's infrastructure assets increased from $5-billion (U.S.) to $90-billion (U.S.), and the company has done many deals in Canada, especially in the energy sector. These include Veresen Inc., an energy infrastructure company that was later merged with Pembina Pipeline, and Coastal GasLink. And it bought a $1.2-billion stake last year in the Labrador Island Link. Canada also has available land close to reliable energy to take part in the data-centre boom fuelling rapid advances in AI, Mr. Freiman said.
