On May 17, 2007, Fortis Inc. announced the completion of its acquisition of Terasen Inc. from a wholly owned subsidiary of Kinder Morgan, Inc. (NYSE:KMI), a U.S. energy transportation, storage and distribution company based in Houston, Texas, for a purchase price of $3.7 billion, including the assumption of approximately $2.3 billion of debt.
