MasTec and IEA announced that MasTec will acquire all of the outstanding shares of IEA in a cash-and-stock transaction valued at $14.00 per IEA share. The transaction has been unanimously approved by the Boards of Directors of both MasTec and IEA and is subject to customary closing conditions, including IEA stockholders and Hart-Scott-Rodino approvals, with an expected closing late fourth quarter of 2022.
Founded in 2011 with roots dating to 1947, IEA is a premier services provider in renewable energy and infrastructure solutions, with extensive expertise and capabilities spanning engineering, procurement, construction and other related services. IEA has deep and long-standing relationships across a diverse blue-chip customer base. It has completed more than 260 utility-scale wind and solar projects across North America and executed a range of complex public and private infrastructure construction projects.
“We are proud to expand our service capabilities, scale and expertise providing critical infrastructure to support the nation’s energy transition to secure and sustainable renewable sources,” said MasTec CEO Jose Mas. “We are excited to welcome JP, the IEA management team and almost 6,000 IEA team members to the MasTec family. We have long admired IEA’s operating excellence, and we have a strong cultural alignment with IEA in safety and customer service.
“We believe that the addition of IEA’s union based clean energy power generation services, coupled with MasTec and IEA’s combined non-union craft labor capacity, will provide increased scale and capacity needed to meet expected growing customer demand for renewable power generation over the next decade. We also believe that MasTec’s existing electrical transmission and distribution service capabilities, coupled with expanded renewable power generation services from the IEA acquisition, will provide a compelling and complete suite of services to support customer’s needs for both power generation and power grid system infrastructure required to transition to renewable energy and reduce carbon emissions,” continued Mas.
