Williams (NYSE: WMB) signed an agreement with funds managed by Blackstone Credit & Insurance, in partnership with Apollo and insurance vehicles and accounts managed by KKR, to fund five behind-the-meter Power Innovation projects: Socrates, Apollo, Aquila, Socrates the Younger and Neo.
Blackstone and partners will provide $5.34 billion of committed capital for a 49% noncontrolling equity interest, including $4.4 billion (49% of expected growth capex) and about $0.9 billion of additional consideration to Williams. Williams retains 51%, commercial and operational control, and cash distributions aligned with ownership. Distributions above Blackstone’s targeted return reduce its investment balance, and Williams holds a buyout right in years 7–14 at Blackstone’s outstanding investment balance.
According to Williams, the structure supplies efficient equity capital, reduces capital exposure and limits corporate debt while supporting delivery of a 6+ GW backlog. The investment is consolidated as noncontrolling interest and is intended to support a long-term leverage target of 3.5x–4.0x. Williams continues to expect 2026 Adjusted EBITDA in the upper half of its $8.05–$8.35 billion range, growth capex of $7.0–$7.6 billion, maintenance capex of $850–$950 million, and an updated 2026 leverage ratio midpoint of about 3.6x.
