Brookfield Renewable reported FFO of
Additional highlights:
- We were successful in our growth activities, signing transactions for
$1.3 billion of equity investment ($300 million net to Brookfield Renewable) alongside our institutional partners; - Continued to advance development activities, commissioning approximately 1,500 megawatts of capacity year to date including the final phase of the 1.2-gigawatt Janaúba solar complex in
Brazil , one of the largest solar projects in theAmericas , which we successfully developed from the permitting phase through to generation; - Advanced key commercial priorities this quarter including signing contracts to deliver an incremental 2,000 gigawatt hours per year of generation, including 900 gigawatt hours to corporate offtakers;
- Moved forward the regulatory approval processes for recently announced acquisitions and expect to close the Westinghouse,
Duke Energy Renewables , and X-Elio acquisitions in the second half of this year. We also expect to close the Origin acquisition early next year, if not sooner; and - To date we have executed asset recycling activities generating proceeds of approximately
$600 million (~$400 million net to Brookfield Renewable) and advanced other processes which when completed, we expect to generate significant additional capital.
The Benefit of a Diverse and Global Franchise
We continue to see increasing corporate demand for renewable energy contracted at attractive prices and expect demand from select large technology companies to increase significantly through the mid-to-latter part of this decade on the back of growth in expected generative AI computing demand. These companies, with whom we have long standing global relationships, are already the largest corporate procurers of green power and we are well positioned to be a trusted partner given our capability and credibility in providing large scale clean energy solutions. We expect that as their demand continues to grow, the market will increasingly favor businesses like ours that have the ability to execute across the development spectrum and across all major power markets. With the growth in the sector, continuing to scale in-line with the increasing market demand remains a competitive advantage.
As an example, in June, we agreed to acquire
We also continue to identify and successfully execute repowering projects where we enhance the productivity and extend the life of assets located at sites with strong renewable resources. The majority of our repowering activity is in the

We generated FFO of
During the quarter, our hydroelectric segment delivered FFO of
Our wind and solar segment continued to perform well generating a combined
Our renewable power development pipeline is now 134,400 megawatts, with approximately 5,000 megawatts on track for commissioning this year and another approximately 19,000 megawatts in our advanced stage pipeline. So far this year, we have commissioned approximately 1,500 megawatts, including battery storage projects at our existing assets helping to improve our realized power pricing and grid reliability.
Our approach to development is predicated on matching our cash flows and costs to materially de-risk projects. As a result, we have mitigated the impact of cost escalation that many renewable power developers are experiencing in the current market and positioned ourselves to realize the forecasted benefits of our projects. Once completed, we expect new capacity commissioned this year will add approximately

Coinciding with the agreement to acquire
We have always focused on financing our growth via asset recycling, upfinancings and with a measured amount corporate debt or preferred equity. However, given our step-change in terms of run-rate growth, which we expect to continue, and our recent ability to acquire assets at attractive valuations, we issued equity capital to supplement these sources of financing. Following the offering, we are well positioned to continue to fund our long-term growth targets through a mix of our normal course funding sources.
During the quarter, we advanced non-recourse financing initiatives and our asset recycling program, where we continue to see strong demand for renewable energy assets globally with long term sector tailwinds offsetting the near-term effects from inflation and higher interest rates.
Thus far in 2023, we have generated approximately
During the quarter, our asset recycling activities were highlighted by an agreement to sell a ~120-megawatt wind and solar portfolio in
We are advancing additional capital recycling opportunities across our business that together with year-to-date agreements could generate significant additional capital when closed.

Cautionary Statement Regarding Forward-looking Statements
This news release contains forward-looking statements and information within the meaning of Canadian provincial securities laws and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the
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 FFO and FFO per Unit, which are not generally accepted accounting measures under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, FFO and FFO per Unit used by other entities. We believe that FFO and 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 and 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 2023 interim report.”
