Growth Initiatives
So far this year, we have deployed or agreed to deploy
Our approach to investing in new transition opportunities is similar to how we look at renewable investments. We look for opportunities that are economic without government subsidy, technologically proven, and underpinned by strong macro tailwinds. We focus on situations where our key advantages of access to capital, knowledge of power markets, operating and development capabilities, extensive customer relationships, and global reach can differentiate us as investors and operators. Over time, as more decarbonization products and services scale, we expect transition investments to grow within our portfolio. However, investment in clean power generation remains the largest decarbonization investment opportunity today, and we therefore expect it to represent the majority of our deployment for the foreseeable future.
Our global distributed generation business continues to be a significant area of growth, as the trends of decentralized power generation and direct customer interaction accelerate. In the past twelve months, we have grown our
We recently agreed to acquire a leading integrated distributed generation developer in the
With this investment, we further enhanced our position as the global leader in distributed generation with 10,300 megawatts of operating and development assets. With capabilities and scale across all our core regions, we are well positioned to keep growing and provide our customers with innovative decarbonization solutions across multiple markets. This will help our partners meet their sustainability targets while reducing operating costs through onsite renewable energy and other decarbonization services.
We also expanded our North American CCS platform through a recently announced joint venture to establish a new carbon management business. Under an arrangement with

While this level of new generation is significant, it is representative of the ongoing level of development activity in our business. Our cash flows have started to meaningfully benefit from the considerable “dollars in the ground” that we have invested into our development projects in the past. Our development investment has increased in recent years and will continue, meaning we have strong visibility into the future growth of our cash flows as more of our development projects come online.
We continue to be well positioned from a supply chain perspective, given our diversified pipeline and strong global relationships. While most major components for solar and wind development projects are experiencing upward pricing pressure, we lock in the cost of our major components when we sign revenue contracts. As a result, our under-construction pipeline is well protected from these risks, and while some costs have escalated, we have had no material issues in our broader business.
Looking ahead, given our ability to execute globally and at scale, we remain a top choice for corporates looking to procure green power. This is because we can be an attractive and flexible partner by offering a full suite of decarbonization solutions from our diverse fleet of renewable power and transition assets across the globe. We recently signed several agreements for 600,000 megawatt hours of wind and solar development with multinational corporations who are market leaders in their respective industries, including Amazon, BASF, Johnson & Johnson, and
For example, we are finalizing terms on one of the largest national account distributed generation portfolios ever awarded globally, and we signed a 25-year fixed-price renewable electricity supply agreement with BASF, a multinational chemical company, to power one of its largest production facilities globally that it is building in

The foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. The forward-looking statements represent our views as of the date of this letter to unitholders and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any subsequent date. While we anticipate that subsequent events and developments may cause our views to change, we disclaim any obligation to update the forward-looking statements, other than as required by applicable law.
No securities regulatory authority has either approved or disapproved of the contents of this letter to unitholders. This letter to unitholders is for information purposes only and shall not constitute an offer to sell or the solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any sale of these securities in any state or jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful prior to registration or qualification under the securities laws of any such state or jurisdiction.
Cautionary Statement Regarding Use of Non-IFRS Measures
This news release contains references to to FFO, FFO per Unit, Normalized FFO and Normalized FFO per Unit, which are not generally accepted accounting measures under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, FFO, FFO per Unit, Normalized FFO and Normalized FFO per Unit used by other entities. We believe that FFO, FFO per Unit, Normalized FFO and Normalized FFO per Unit are useful supplemental measures that may assist investors in assessing the financial performance and the cash anticipated to be generated by our operating portfolio. None of FFO, FFO per Unit, Normalized FFO and Normalized FFO per Unit should be considered as the sole measure of our performance and should not be considered in isolation from, or as a substitute for, analysis of our financial statements prepared in accordance with IFRS. For a reconciliation of FFO and FFO per Unit to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, please see “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures - Three Months Ended June 30” included elsewhere herein and “Financial Performance Review on Proportionate Information - Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” included in our unaudited Q2 2022 interim report. Normalized FFO assumes long-term average generation in all segments except the
