T&D Solutions LLC has received an unspecified growth equity investment from Huntsman Gay Global Capital.

Terms of the deal were not disclosed and calls seeking comment were not returned by press time.

Chad Dubea, chief executive of T&D Solutions, will retain his position with Huntsman Gay’s inclusion.

Huntsman Gay managing director Gary Crittenden worked on the deal.

T&D Solutions works on overhead and underground distribution and transmission construction and maintenance. The investment will be used to develop the company’s ability to service a broader geographic area; the statement issued by Huntsman Gay did not indicate whether this would be done through M&A.

Other Huntsman Gay investments include Turner Bros. Holdings, a transportation solutions firm; Sandbox Industries, a venture funder; Hollander Home Fashions Corp., a bedding maker; Laser Business Solutions, a business consultant and Grand Isle Shipyard.

Increasingly, energy companies have weighed their options. Delta Petroleum Corp. launched a strategic review last year with the help of Morgan Stanley and Evercore Partners. Liberty Propane was sold by Sterling Partners, the Baltimore-based private equity firm, to Inergy LP, a listed energy company, earlier this year.

Private equity has increasingly pushed to make buys in the space, however. Investcorp, parent company of the M&A Journal, bought into Middle Eastern gases manufacturer Gulf Cyro recently and TPG Capital bought for $500 million a majority stake in Valerus Compression Services, a provider of natural gas holding capabilities.
