gas.<\/p>\n<p>The Calgary-based energy infrastructure giant said Tuesday it will purchase three U.S.-based utility companies \u2013 The East Ohio Gas Company, Questar Gas Company and its related Wexpro companies, and the Public Service Company of North Carolina \u2013 all of which are owned by Virginia-based Dominion Energy Inc.<\/p>\n<p>Enbridge, which plans to finance the deal through a combination of US$9.4 billion of cash consideration and US$4.6 billion of assumed debt, said the deal will double the scale of its gas utility business and will serve to balance its asset mix evenly between natural gas and renewables, and liquids.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I&#8217;m not sure what the credit implications might be.<\/p>\n<table border=\"1\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td
