This division also provides comprehensive home services such as heating and cooling solutions, gas distribution, water heaters, and HVAC rentals. Within its Transport segment, Brookfield Infrastructure oversees a vast network that facilitates the movement and storage of goods, commodities, and passengers. This includes around 21,000 kilometers of railway track, 3,300 kilometers of motorways, and operates 13 port terminals. The Midstream operations focus on natural gas transmission, gathering, processing, and storage. Its assets comprise approximately 15,000 kilometers of natural gas transmission pipelines, 570 billion cubic feet of natural gas storage capacity, and 16 natural gas and natural gas liquids processing plants.

Established in 2007, Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P. is based in Hamilton, Bermuda, and functions as a subsidiary of Brookfield Asset Management Inc.

This strategy supports its ability to self-fund growth and target returns of 12-15%. The company maintains strong liquidity and focuses on assets with contracted and regulated revenues that yield stable and predictable cash flows.
