- Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. owns and operates a diversified portfolio of regulated utility assets through its operating subsidiary Liberty Utilities, providing rate-regulated electricity generation, transmission and distribution; natural gas distribution; and water and wastewater distribution services to approximately 1.2 million customer connections across 13 U.S. states including Arizona, Arkansas, California, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri, New Hampshire, New York, Oklahoma and Texas, one Canadian province, Bermuda and Chile. The company serves residential, commercial and industrial customers with essential utility infrastructure focused on safety, reliability and sustainability. Incorporated in 1988 and headquartered at 354 Davis Road in Oakville, Ontario, Canada, Algonquin maintains approximately $9.3 billion in regulated utility assets and a rate base exceeding $7.9 billion as of December 31, 2024.
In recent strategic developments, Algonquin completed the sale of its large-scale renewable energy business, excluding hydroelectric assets, to LS Power in January 2025 for total consideration of up to $2.5 billion, comprising $2.28 billion in cash at closing and potential earn-outs of up to $220 million tied to certain wind assets; this transaction supports the company's transformation into a pure-play regulated utility by optimizing operations, reducing debt and enhancing earnings quality. Earlier, in 2024, Algonquin entered a support agreement facilitating the sale of its 42.2% stake in Atlantica Sustainable Infrastructure plc to a fund managed by Energy Capital Partners, valued at approximately $1.077 billion, with proceeds earmarked for balance sheet recapitalization and expected to close by early 2025. Additionally, in November 2025, the company appointed Robert Stefani as Chief Financial Officer to lead financial strategy amid these shifts.
