Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. reported record financial results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2026, driven by strong operating performance, capital deployment, asset recycling activities, and continued expansion of its renewable energy portfolio.
The company posted Funds From Operations (FFO) of US$421 million, or US$0.62 per unit, representing a 13% year-on-year increase and an 11% rise on a per-unit basis. Over the trailing twelve months, FFO reached US$1.44 billion, up 14% from the previous year. Brookfield Renewable reported a net loss attributable to unitholders of US$213 million for the quarter, primarily reflecting non-cash depreciation and other expenses.
Connor Teskey, CEO of Brookfield Renewable, said the company achieved record financial performance alongside its highest levels of development and asset recycling to date. He noted that growing global electricity demand and increasing customer preference for integrated power solutions continue to support the company’s expansion across hydro, solar, wind, energy storage, and nuclear generation. Teskey also highlighted the recent acquisition of Aypa, North America’s largest standalone battery storage platform, as a strategic move to strengthen Brookfield Renewable’s position in the energy storage market.
During the quarter, Brookfield Renewable committed or deployed approximately US$5 billion in capital, including an agreement to acquire Aypa for approximately US$3 billion. The acquisition adds around 3 GW of operating and under-construction battery storage assets, 3.5 GW of contracted projects, and a development pipeline exceeding 20 GW across key U.S. markets.
The company also commissioned approximately 1,280 MW of new renewable energy capacity during the quarter, increasing total capacity commissioned in the first half of 2026 to around 3,100 MW. Brookfield Renewable said it remains on track to deliver approximately 10 GW of new projects annually by 2027. In addition, it signed power purchase agreements (PPAs) covering approximately 2,600 MW of projects from its advanced development pipeline.
Brookfield Renewable continued to advance its capital recycling strategy, generating expected proceeds of approximately US$2.2 billion through asset sales during the quarter. Transactions included the sale of a 570 MW European solar and wind portfolio, renewable energy assets transferred to the Northview Energy platform, and non-core hydro and solar assets in the United States and Colombia.
To support future growth, the company completed approximately US$12 billion in financings and ended the quarter with more than US$5.1 billion in available liquidity. It also announced plans to simplify its corporate structure by combining Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP) and Brookfield Renewable Corporation (BEPC) into a single publicly traded corporation, subject to shareholder approval.
Brookfield Renewable also declared its next quarterly distribution of US$0.392 per LP unit, payable on September 29, 2026, to unitholders of record as of August 31, 2026.
