Balfour Beatty completes disposal of ten Infrastructure Investments assets

Posted: 5th January 2026

Balfour Beatty, the international infrastructure group, today announces the sale of ten UK assets from its Infrastructure Investments portfolio. In December 2025, the Group sold its share in each of the assets to Equitix for combined proceeds of £87 million, with a total gain on the disposals of £7 million.

The disposed assets comprise three Offshore Transmission Owners (OFTOs), five street lighting projects, one biomass plant and one road concession.

The combined proceeds are in excess of the Balfour Beatty Directors’ valuation as of 27 June 2025, consistent with the Group’s strategy of optimising value through the disposal of operational assets, whilst continuing to invest in new asset opportunities.
