(RTTNews) - Apollo (APO) said Apollo-managed funds and affiliates have agreed to commit 3.2 billion euros of equity to a newly established joint venture with RWE. The JV will be operationally controlled by RWE and hold and fund RWE's 25.1% stake in Amprion, a Transmission System Operator serving approximately 29 million people. The JV will provide the required equity capital for its 25.1% stake to support Amprion's major investment program for grid expansion over the next decade.
