Wind

Wind is a freely available, inexhaustible and emission-free source of energy and is one of the fastest-growing renewable generation technologies. The benefits of wind power ensure it will continue to play an increasing role as the world transitions to a low-carbon economy.

We own and operate 22 high quality wind facilities across the U.S. with an installed capacity of 2,448 MW.

Solar

Utility-scale solar farms harness energy from the sun to generate electricity. These forms of technology continue to improve – with increased efficiency and lower unit cost, ensuring their place as mainstream electricity sources.

In 2017, Brookfield Renewable added a premier solar technology platform to its global renewable portfolio through its acquisition of TerraForm Power and TerraForm Global.

* Includes approximately 175 megawatts of assets owned through X-Elio.

Distributed Energy Resources

Distributed energy resources (DER) employ smaller scale technologies than a more centralized system to produce power where it is needed. Such onsite, local generation has multiple benefits, including avoided generation capacity costs and avoided transmission costs. It allows consumers greater control over their power supply and potentially reduces their reliance on back-up power.

* Distributed energy resource (DER) facilities may include one or more technologies including distributed solar, distributed storage, fuel cells, energy efficiency, and microgrids.

Storage

Storage systems play an important role in providing flexibility in power markets, particularly with pumped hydro storage which acts as a giant ‘rechargeable battery’ and can range from fast millisecond response services required to stabilize grid systems to reserve products that provide hours of delivery in the event of a power failure.

We have storage assets of over 600 MW through our pumped hydro and battery facilities.
