Algonquin Power & Utilities sells 64% of Chilean water utility Suralis

Algonquin Power & Utilities Corp. sold its 64% stake in the Chilean water utility Suralis. The transaction was valued at roughly $126 million, with an additional earn‑out of up to $1.5 million. The company said the cash will be applied to debt reduction and to recycle capital into its 2026‑2028 plan. CEO Rod West called the deal a step toward simplifying the portfolio and focusing on core regulated utilities.

The proceeds will lower Algonquin’s debt load and free capital for its 2026‑2028 investment plan, which could improve its balance‑sheet strength and support future growth initiatives.
