Brookfield Renewable (BEP)
Renewable power platform (Brookfield Renewable) — global hydro/wind/solar incl. data-center deals
AI exposure 11% — derived from reported segment revenue, not asserted.
Where it sits
Energy Supply & Critical Minerals → Renewable Energy · figures rebased to Q2 2026, reported 2026-07-31
Wind + solar + distributed + storage — Microsoft 10.5GW framework + Google PPAs leads 2 businesses in this sub-tier that together are 90% of revenue, so Renewable Energy is effectively the whole company rather than one leg of it. The rest is tagged separately: Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) at 10%.
Also tagged: emerging in Energy Supply & Critical Minerals → Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
Reported segments
- Hydroelectric — 53.3% of revenue
- Wind — 13.9% of revenue
- Utility-scale solar — 13.5% of revenue
- Sustainable solutions — 15% of revenue
- Distributed energy & storage — 4.3% of revenue
Brookfield Renewable ($1,018M Q2 2026 revenue; FFO $421M, +11% YoY to $0.62 per unit). From the 6-K segment table: Hydroelectric 53.3% ($543M, up from $457M, with FFO of $336M against $205M on strong Canadian and Colombian generation) = primary B4 Renewable Energy; Sustainable solutions 15.0% ($153M — nuclear services, recycling and carbon capture) = B4 Small Modular Reactors tag; Wind 13.9% ($141M); Utility-scale solar 13.5% ($137M); Distributed energy and storage 4.3% ($44M). Previously modelled as one 90% generation line, which hid that hydro alone is more than half of revenue.
How the 11% is built
- Hydroelectric — 53.3% of revenue × 12% AI-driven (disclosed). Dispatchable hydro is the most valuable asset class for the round-the-clock power agreements data centres sign, but the fleet serves the whole grid
- Wind — 13.9% of revenue × 10% AI-driven (disclosed). Contracted wind, some of it under corporate power agreements with hyperscalers
- Utility-scale solar — 13.5% of revenue × 10% AI-driven (disclosed). Same contracting model as wind
- Sustainable solutions — 15% of revenue × 12% AI-driven (disclosed). Nuclear services through Westinghouse, which is where the SMR exposure sits
- Distributed energy & storage — 4.3% of revenue × 8% AI-driven (disclosed). Behind-the-meter generation and batteries
Investment read
Moat. Global renewable-generation portfolio + Brookfield development/capital machine + data-center PPAs (e.g., the Microsoft framework); scale + hydro baseload.
Bottleneck / pricing power. Moderate-to-rising pricing power (PPA demand from data centers + hydro firm-power value); a scaled renewable platform.
Role in the AI stack. The global renewable-platform power layer for data centers.
