Qatar Investment Authority has bought some $740 million in shares at renewable energy provider Avangrid, acquiring up to 3.7% of its common stock.
The deal comes as Avangrid announced plans to sell shares worth $4,000 million to both the Qatar Investment Authority [QIA] and Spanish Iberdrola Group, for $51.40 million each.
