BROOKFIELD, News,
“2025 was a very strong year for our business as we delivered record results and extended our leadership position as the partner of choice to both governments and corporates seeking scale, clean and reliable energy solutions. This year we signed a first-of-its-kind Hydro Framework Agreement with Google to deliver up to 3,000 megawatts of hydro capacity and Westinghouse partnered with the
He continued, “Driven by the multi-decade trends of reindustrialization and electrification, which have been amplified by ongoing data center development, today’s robust energy demand growth requires development of ‘any and all’ forms of energy. With our differentiated capabilities in critical baseload technologies, combined with our pipeline of low-cost, fast-to-market solar and wind projects, we believe we are exceptionally well positioned to capture this significant opportunity and deliver outsized earnings growth in the years to come.”

Strong Operating Performance
Our diversified global portfolio, underpinned by stable, inflation-linked cash flows, combined with our asset sales, acquisitions, and organic growth helped us deliver strong FFO per-unit growth for the year. We also continued to execute on commercial initiatives securing our cash-flows going forward and enabling us to execute upfinancings that will fund further growth.
-
Our hydroelectric segment delivered strong FFO of
$607 million , up 19% year-over-year on the back of higher revenue from commercial initiatives, stronger generation inCanada andColombia , and gains on the sale of non-core assets that we executed during the year. We continue to see robust demand for our hydro generation, notably from hyperscalers, who are signing long term contracts to support their increasing power demand. We see significant potential to further partner with these high-quality offtakers to drive our cash flow growth. -
Our wind and solar segments generated a combined
$648 million of FFO, benefiting from our diversified global operating fleet, development activities and acquisitions of Neoen,
Geronimo Power and our investment in a portfolio of contracted, operating offshore wind assets in theU.K. This growth was offset by gains on sale recorded in last year’s results, including the sale of Saeta and the partial disposition of Shepherds Flat. -
Our distributed energy, storage, and sustainable solutions segments contributed
$614 million of FFO, up almost 90% from the prior year driven by growth through development, the acquisition of Neoen, the strong performance of Westinghouse on the back of continued momentum in the nuclear sector and a gain on the sale of our North American distributed generation business. -
During the year, we advanced our commercial priorities, securing long-term contracts for over 9,000 megawatts of generation capacity across our operating fleet. We signed our first hydro contracts with hyperscalers reflecting what we see as a growing shift in demand from leading technology companies for clean, dispatchable hydro generation. In total, these and other agreements across our operating fleet enhance cash flow visibility, support delivery of our target returns, and have enabled us to upfinance assets to fund future growth on an accretive basis.
We committed or deployed up to
-
This year, we continued to expand our global renewables footprint through several large-scale transactions, including the successful privatization of Neoen, our largest single investment to date, which established our leadership positions in
France ,Australia , and the Nordics and significantly enhanced our battery capabilities; the acquisition of
Geronimo Power , a scaleU.S. platform with 3,200 megawatts of operating and under-construction capacity and an over 30,000-megawatt development pipeline, further cementing our leading position in the U.S. market; and an increase in our ownership of Isagen to ~37%, one of our best performing businesses since our initial acquisition about a decade ago. -
Throughout the year we delivered a record ~8,000 megawatts of new capacity globally across utility scale solar, wind, distributed energy and storage, a 20% increase in our commissioned capacity year-over-year, as we continue to scale up our development activities. We ended the year with ~84,000 megawatts of advanced stage projects and expect to deliver a run-rate of ~10,000 megawatts per year by 2027.
-
Westinghouse entered into a transformational strategic partnership agreement with the
U.S. Government to deliver new nuclear reactors utilizing Westinghouse technology in America. The agreement represents one of the most significant energy commitments in the country’s history and we expect will catalyze the further deployment of nuclear energy globally, benefiting Westinghouse andBrookfield Renewable for decades to come. -
We further demonstrated our position as the partner of choice to the global hyperscalers, signing a Hydro Framework Agreement with Google to deliver up to 3,000 megawatts of hydro capacity. The agreement reflects the robust demand for energy from the hyperscalers and their increasing focus on securing scale baseload power to support their growth.
-
We are advancing a first-of-its-kind opportunity through Neoen, where we are progressing a 1,000+ megawatt battery energy storage system partnering with a sovereign wealth fund to enhance the reliability of their country’s grid. With rising energy demand and greater emphasis on grid reliability, we continue to see expanding opportunities for battery storage and believe we are well positioned to benefit given our leading capabilities.
We continue to execute on our asset recycling program, generating a record
-
We continue to demonstrate full-cycle value creation through strategic sales across both de-risked assets and integrated platforms. Our relationships with the largest investors globally, combined with our disciplined approach, makes us well positioned to crystalize strong value.
-
This year, asset sales were highlighted by the majority sale of Luminace, our leading North American distributed generation business, the sale of an aggregate 50% interest in portfolio of non-core hydro assets in the
U.S. and the sale of a portfolio of derisked operating solar and wind assets in theU.S. We also successfully implemented an asset rotation strategy within our Neoen business in our first year of ownership, selling$1 billion of assets consistent with our business plan at acquisition and see a robust runway of development and asset rotation at that platform. -
Looking ahead, we expect to continue scaling our capital recycling program in an increasingly more programmatic and recurring manner. We recently agreed to sell a two-thirds stake in a scale portfolio of operating wind and solar projects in the
U.S. , each of which was developed by one of our development platforms. The initial sale is expected to generate~$860 million (~$210 million net toBrookfield Renewable ) in proceeds. We are actively progressing the sale of the remaining minority stake in the portfolio. The closing of this transaction is subject to customary closing conditions, with closing expected to occur in the first half of 2026. The transaction also contemplates a framework for potential future sales of an additional up to$1.5 billion of qualifying assets to the same buyers establishing a potential recurring source of liquidity to fund our growth and crystallize value.
We maintained strong liquidity and strengthened our balance sheet during the year. We enter 2026 well positioned to deploy capital opportunistically into a deep pipeline of growth opportunities.
-
We ended the year with
$4.6 billion of available liquidity and reaffirmed our BBB+ investment grade rating with three major rating agencies during 2025. -
During the year our business successfully completed over
$37 billion in financings, a record for our business, extending maturities and optimizing our capital structure. This past quarter was highlighted by a repricing of the Term Loan B facility at Westinghouse, where Westinghouse reduced its interest costs by almost$9 million annually with potential for further savings should they achieve a ratings improvement in that business due to the recent partnership with theU.S. Government . We also completed a refinancing of ourNew York hydro portfolio in December, extending maturities at the lowest spread we have ever achieved in theU.S. This outcome reflects strong lender demand for hydro assets and resulted in approximately$250 million of upfinancing proceeds, bringing our total upfinancing proceeds across our business to over$2.2 billion for the year. -
In November, we completed a
$650 million bought-deal equity raise and concurrent private placement, and subsequent to year-end we opportunistically issuedC$500 million of 30-year notes at 5.20%, achieving our lowest spread ever for a corporate financing. These offerings further strengthened our balance sheet and provide substantial liquidity for the business to capitalize on the expanding opportunity set ahead, particularly in essential baseload and grid-stabilizing technologies, including hydro, nuclear, and energy storage. -
After quarter end, we announced the launch of a
$400 million at-the-market equity issuance program of our BEPC shares. Proceeds from the issuance are intended to be used for repurchases of BEP units on a one-for-one basis under our existing NCIB. Given the trading premium of our BEPC shares today, the program is expected to be non-dilutive, increase the float of our BEPC shares and provide incremental cash to deploy into growth or to buy back additional shares.

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 - Year Ended December 31” included elsewhere herein and “Financial Performance Review on Proportionate Information - Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” included in our audited Q4 2025 annual report. For a reconciliation of FFO and FFO per Unit to the most directly comparable IFRS measure, please see “Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures - Year Ended December 31” included elsewhere herein and “Financial Performance Review on Proportionate Information - Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” included in our audited Q4 2025 annual report.
