Macquarie Group Ltd.’s infrastructure arm has agreed to buy the 40% of Viesgo it doesn’t already own in a transaction valuing the Spanish electricity distributor at about 3 billion euros ($3.3 billion), a person familiar with the matter said.

Macquarie is buying the stake from Wren House Infrastructure, said the person, who asked to not be identified because the matter isn’t public. Macquarie already owns 60% of Viesgo.
