On Aug. 21, 2017, Berkshire Hathaway Energy Co. (BHE), the parent of AltaLink Investments L.P. (AILP) and AltaLink L.P. (ALP), announced that it terminated the agreement with Energy Future Holdings Corp. (EFH) to acquire the reorganized EFH. Following this announcement, we revised our outlook on BHE to stable from negative. Because we view AILP as a core entity to BHE, and ALP as a core entity to AILP, we are also revising our outlooks on AILP and ALP to stable from negative.

We are also affirming our ratings on ALP and AILP, including our 'A' long-term corporate credit ratings on both. On Aug. 22, 2017, S&P Global
