Core-plus infrastructure funds and private equity firms interested in buying a stake in the $2 billion Zenith Energy, provider of remote power solutions to miners, have been given their first look under the hood.

Street Talk understands Zenith’s owners – Pacific Equity Partners, Canadian pension fund OPTrust and Foresight Partners – last week instructed their bankers at Azure Capital and RBC Capital Markets to mail out a teaser on the mooted equity deal. Sources described the exercise as early investor education, with the bid timetable yet to be set.
