Our business performed well to start the year, and we made significant progress executing on our 2025 plans. Our large and diversified portfolio of assets continue to generate resilient and growing cash flows, and we maintained our strong balance sheet and liquidity.
We advanced our development pipeline and executed on a number of attractive growth opportunities, including the acquisition of the remaining outstanding shares of Neoen and reaching an agreement to acquire National Grid Renewables, a scale platform in the U.S. We also made significant progress with our commercial contracting to the largest global buyers of energy, further securing our cash flow and growth.
The fundamentals for energy remain very strong, with digitalization and reindustrialization driving accelerating demand that far outpaces supply. This imbalance persists despite weaker market sentiment due to uncertainty of the impacts of tariffs globally. Despite this, renewables represent the most viable solution to meet the insatiable demand for energy given their low-cost position, mature supply chain, and ability to be deployed quickly in almost any region.
Today, we have an operating business that is unique in its scale, diversification and capabilities, which generates high-quality, resilient and growing cash flows. Our global platform is approaching 45,000 megawatts of operating capacity across the lowest cost and most mature technologies and most attractive geographies, which mitigates our exposure to resource variability, regional dynamics, or market disruptions.
We also continue to capitalize the business utilizing a strong investment grade balance sheet and long duration non-recourse debt, while maintaining high levels of available liquidity (~$4.5 billion currently). This ensures that we always maintain a low risk financial profile. We have operated the business this way for many years, always prioritizing financial strength and flexibility. We believe it is as critical today as ever and key to our long-term success, allowing us to be positioned to capitalize on growth opportunities in times like these.
The current market environment is creating significant opportunities for us to continue to grow our cash flows and to acquire portfolios and platforms for value, particularly those with advanced stage development pipelines, which will enhance our ability to drive strong returns over the long-term for our shareholders.
Highlights for the quarter include:
•Generating FFO of $315 million, or $0.48 per unit, which adjusting for strong hydro generation last year, was up 15%. All in, the FFO per unit was up 7%, with results benefiting from the stable and growing, contracted inflation-linked cash flows from our global operating fleet, our growth activities and our accretive capital recycling activities.
•Strengthening our balance sheet, highlighted by the issuance of C$450 million of medium-term notes during the quarter at our tightest new issue spread in almost 20 years, ending the quarter with approximately $4.5 billion of available liquidity, and providing flexibility to deploy capital in the current attractive environment. We have also been active repurchasing our units at current trading levels as we see this as an accretive use of capital, buying back ~$35 million of our units year-to-date.
•Executing asset recycling, closing and agreeing to the sale of $900 million of assets and businesses ($230 million net to Brookfield Renewable) in the quarter. We continue to advance our
| Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | March 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Page 5 |
robust pipeline of sales processes and we expect to generate significant proceeds and strong returns from our asset rotation program throughout the year.
•Advancing commercial priorities including securing contracts to deliver an incremental ~4,500 gigawatt hours per year of generation. This included progressing the delivery of projects to Microsoft under the Renewable Energy Framework Agreement. We continue to view the initial 10,500 megawatts scoped into the agreement as the minimum we will contract under the framework, reflecting the strong demand for power we continue to see from many of the global technology players.
•Delivered ~800 megawatts of capacity during the quarter and expect to bring on ~8,000 megawatts of new renewable capacity this year.
•Deployed or committed $4.6 billion ($500 million net to Brookfield Renewable) across multiple investments, adding leading platforms and assets in the U.S. and globally. This included completing the privatization of Neoen, and agreeing to acquire National Grid Renewables.
Volatile Times Favor the Strong
Current sentiment for the renewables sector reflects an elevated level of uncertainty, with investors reacting to tariff announcements and an evolving business landscape. We are of the view that many investors today are not discerning between those in the sector that are diversified and well positioned to mitigate potential impacts, and those that are not.
In the current environment, we feel our business is differentiated by its resiliency and strategic positioning, allowing us to not only continue to execute, but capitalize on the current environment to opportunistically grow and enhance our platform.
We have a diversified, global platform of almost 45,000 megawatts of operating capacity that generates high-quality, resilient and inflation-linked cash flows.
Our assets generate a critical resource at the lowest cost in their respective markets and our portfolio is approximately 90% contracted for an average duration of 14 years, with revenues ~70% indexed to inflation. Our fleet delivers power to more than 1,000 customers with no single corporate buyer representing more than 2% of our revenues. Our contracted and inflation linked cash flows provide visibility on our growing operating earnings and returns to support our distribution and reinvestment in our business through cycles.
Our development projects are well protected against changes in input costs.
Most of our projects have fixed priced engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) contracts that have limited exposure to price increases. Where we do retain price exposure, we have also taken actions to help limit the impact on our returns by integrating clauses in our PPA contracts to enable price adjustments. These fixed price EPC contracts and PPA adjustment clauses help protect against changes in input costs impacting our currently under construction and near-term development pipeline and we will continue to execute our development with this approach going forward.
In addition to the EPC contracts and PPA clauses, as one of the largest buyers of materials, we are also well equipped to navigate tariffs and supply chain challenges relative to other players in the sector. We have a diverse global supply chain that supports our U.S. and worldwide development and have proactively increased consumption of domestic goods in the U.S. through the signing of framework agreements with OEMs to support the expansion of domestic suppliers.
It is also worth remembering that the solar sector has been subject to tariffs in the U.S. for several years. This prompted domestic supply chain investment as well as the growth of supply chains outside of China. We import an immaterial amount of materials directly from China for our U.S. development activities as a
| Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | March 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Page 6 |
result of our prior efforts to minimize the impact of in-place tariffs. This has us well positioned to navigate the current environment.
Outside of the U.S., we expect a positive impact on supply chain availability and input costs. Where U.S. developers were the dominant buyers of materials from Asian and European suppliers, we could see increasing quantities of materials available in those local markets, where local buyers like ourselves could benefit from higher availability and lower pricing.
Renewables are the most viable and lowest cost power source by a wide margin in most markets.
Similar to other price shock increases in recent years, such as higher borrowing rates, we expect to push any higher input costs that we see in our business through in the form of higher PPAs with very little expected impact on demand or developer returns.
With this backdrop, while most investors are focused on incremental risks they are seeing in the market today, the current uncertainty is creating an opportunity for those that are well positioned to extend their leadership position. Players like us with derisked, growing cash flows, strong balance sheets, access to capital and an ability to move with conviction are best placed to excel in this environment.
In late 2023, we witnessed similar weak sector sentiment and a lack of differentiation between industry participants who were facing significant challenges and those that were not. Since then, we have delivered almost 15% FFO per unit growth, increased our distribution by more than 10% and grown our operating fleet and generation capacity by 60% and 70%, respectively. We have also increased our commissioning cadence by 140% and more than tripled our asset recycling activities.
As we look ahead, we see an opportunity to extend our market position through this period of weaker sentiment to grow the cash flows of our operating fleet, deliver significant new generation capacity through the development of our advanced stage project pipeline at returns on the higher end of our target range and opportunistically acquire scale, complementary platforms for value.
The Public to Private Market Bifurcation is Widening
Public market valuations for renewable energy companies have trended significantly lower in recent months. At the same time, fundamentals for energy demand are strong and meeting this demand requires significant capital. This is driving incumbent utilities and traditional energy players to refocus on their core businesses or seek scale capital partnerships or solutions, creating significant opportunities for those with access to capital, carve out capabilities and development expertise to acquire renewable platforms and assets for value.
During the quarter, we reached an agreement to acquire National Grid Renewables (“NGR”), a fully integrated onshore renewable power operator and developer in the U.S. NGR has 3,900 megawatts of operating and under construction assets, a 1,000-megawatt construction ready portfolio and an over 30,000-megawatt development pipeline, focused predominantly on utility-scale solar and battery storage systems.
Similar to the Deriva Energy (formerly Duke Energy Renewables) transaction we executed two years ago, NGR is a sizable acquisition that involves a corporate carve out with a large, unregulated operating portfolio, significant near-term operational improvement opportunities, and an attractive growth pipeline of advanced onshore assets. We were able to acquire the platform for value given our access to scale capital, ability to execute a complex carve out, and our operating and development capabilities.
NGR’s contracted operating portfolio provides strong downside protection and we see an opportunity to deliver significant value through the development of the company’s large, high-quality, advanced stage pipeline, which is well-located relative to the demand we are seeing from large technology companies. We expect to close the acquisition in the first half of the year.
| Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | March 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Page 7 |
We were also successful in the quarter acquiring the remaining outstanding shares of Neoen, resulting in our 100% ownership of the business. The privatization and close of the acquisition further demonstrates our ability to execute large-scale acquisitions and the opportunity in the present market for investors with access to capital. We expect to drive value generation through the acceleration of Neoen’s development activities and via the implementation of an asset rotation program.
In contrast to the sentiment for renewables in the public markets today, we continue to see robust demand from private investors for our derisked operating assets and platforms with advanced projects and highly executable growth opportunities.
During the quarter, we closed and advanced several asset sales, crystallizing strong returns, including closing the first phase of our India portfolio sale and the sale of our interest in First Hydro, generating almost three times our invested capital and a ~20% return. In addition, we also reached an agreement to sell an additional 25% stake in Shepherds Flat at the same valuation as our previous 50% stake sale, generating almost two times our invested capital and proceeds of ~$200 million (~$50 million net to Brookfield Renewable).
The market for asset recycling continues to be robust and our pipeline of potential asset sales is large. We continue to bring on derisked operating assets and equip our platforms with end-to-end capabilities making them increasingly attractive to lower cost of capital buyers. Our growing portfolio of attractive assets and platforms is enabling us to continue scaling our capital rotation activities and deliver on our full-cycle value creation model, a very accretive and repeatable way to generate returns for our shareholders and fund our growth.
Looking ahead, we remain well positioned to continue to capitalize on the current market bifurcation, acquiring for value as well as monetizing our derisked renewables platforms and assets to lower cost of capital buyers, generating strong returns.
Operating Results
In the first quarter, we generated record FFO of $315 million, or $0.48 per unit, up 15% year-on-year when adjusting for strong hydro conditions last year. In total FFO per unit was up 7% year-over-year and we continue to target 10%+ FFO per unit growth in 2025. This underlying growth reflects the operating leverage of our fleet, successful commissioning of new capacity, recently closed investments and the scaling of our normal course capital recycling activities.
Our hydroelectric segment delivered FFO of $163 million on generation that was broadly in line with our long-term average (“LTA”). More importantly, this business is well positioned for a strong second quarter and 2025, as solid hydrology and a relatively cold winter in North America has resulted in a healthy snowpack and reservoirs near the long-term average. Our Colombian business, Isagen, had a strong quarter with generation well above LTA and EBITDA significantly above prior year, reflecting a return to strong normalized performance following last year’s El Niño impacted results.
Going forward, we continue to see robust demand for our hydro generation and have a combined ~6,000 GWh of generation up for re-contracting over the next five years. The strong demand for energy, coupled with the potential for higher levels of inflation, should benefit this business as we re-contract a portion of our portfolio, resulting in stronger cash flows and opportunities to upfinance on an investment grade basis to fund accretive growth.
Our wind and solar segments generated $149 million of FFO benefiting from newly commissioned capacity and the closing of our investments in Neoen and Ørsted’s ~3,500-megawatt operating offshore wind portfolio in the U.K. Both of these recent acquisitions are performing in line with our underwriting expectations.
Our distributed energy, storage, and sustainable solutions segments performed well, generating a combined $126 million of FFO, more than doubling from the prior year. Results from our distributed
| Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | March 31, 2025 |

| Page 8 |
generation and storage business were positively impacted by the asset improvement programs we have been executing, the continued build-out of our development pipeline, and a gain on the sale of our interest in First Hydro. Westinghouse also continues to perform well, benefiting from the growing demand for nuclear power.
Balance sheet & liquidity
Our financial position remains strong with approximately $4.5 billion of available liquidity at the end of the quarter. Our significant access to scale capital and strong investment grade balance sheet continues to differentiate our franchise and support our growth initiatives.
In March, we opportunistically issued C$450 million of 10-year notes at 4.54%. We achieved our lowest coupon in the past 5 years and our 155-bps spread matched our tightest new issue spread in almost 20 years. The issuance is consistent with our funding strategy of conservatively accessing the investment grade corporate debt market as our underlying cash flow grows.
We have also been active repurchasing our units at current trading levels, as we see this as an accretive use of capital. Year-to-date we have bought back ~$35 million of our own units, while ensuring we have substantial liquidity to take advantage of the robust growth opportunities we are seeing today.
Outlook
Our operating performance is off to a strong start this year and we continue to have a positive outlook for the business. We remain focused on delivering 12 to 15% long-term total returns for investors, driving underlying cash flow growth by being disciplined capital allocators, leveraging our deep operating and development capabilities and enhancing our balance sheet and liquidity.
On behalf of the Board and management, we thank all our unitholders and shareholders for their ongoing support and look forward to updating you on our progress throughout the year.
Sincerely,
Connor Teskey

Brookfield Renewable has approximately 5,270 experienced operators (inclusive of employees employed by our consolidated portfolio companies) that are located across the globe to help optimize the performance and maximize the returns of all our assets. Our experience operating, developing, and managing power generation facilities span over 120 years. We continue to accelerate our development activities as we build out our approximately 227,200 MW renewable power pipeline, and further enhance our decarbonization offering to our customers through the build out of our sustainable solutions assets, which includes opportunities to invest in material recycling, CCS, RNG, eFuels and others. Increasingly, the combination of our operating and developing capabilities combined with our growth pipeline is differentiating our business as the partner of choice for buyers of clean power and entities looking to decarbonize, driving the growth of our business.
Positioned to meet growing demand for power, accelerate decarbonization and improve the stability of electricity grids. Electricity demand is accelerating as a result of growth in digitalization and electrification, and renewables, which are the lowest cost source of bulk power generation in most regions, the most readily deployable to meet near term demand and aligned with net zero targets, are the most viable solution. We are positioned to meet this demand with our large, diverse global development pipeline and differentiated capabilities. In addition to power demand growth, renewables help mitigate the risks posed by climate change and energy security, which are viewed as two of the most significant and urgent issues facing the global economy. Climate change and energy insecurity pose immense risks to the safety and security of communities and to our collective economic prosperity. In response, governments and corporates have adopted ambitious plans to support a transition to a decarbonized economy. We believe that our scale and global operating, development and investing capabilities make us well positioned to partner with governments and corporates to help them achieve their decarbonization goals.
Strong financial profile and conservative financing strategy. Brookfield Renewable maintains a robust balance sheet, strong investment grade rating, and access to global capital markets to ensure cash flow resiliency through the cycle and flexibility to opportunistically deploy capital. Our approach to financing is to raise the majority of our debt in the form of asset-specific, non-recourse borrowings at our subsidiaries on an investment grade basis with no financial maintenance covenants. Approximately 90% of our debt is either investment grade rated or sized to investment grade metrics. Our corporate debt to total capitalization is approximately 16% and approximately 90% of our borrowings are non-recourse. Corporate borrowings and proportionate non-recourse borrowings each have weighted-average terms of approximately 12 years and 11 years, respectively, with no material maturities over the next five years. Approximately 90% of our financings are effectively fixed rate and only 9% of our debt outside North America and Europe is exposed to changes in interest rates. Our available liquidity as at December 31, 2024 is $4.5 billion of cash and cash equivalents, investments in marketable securities and the available portion of credit facilities.
Well positioned for cash flow growth and an attractive long term distribution profile. We have diverse, reliable and derisked cash flow growth levers that help enable our stable distribution growth target of 5% to 9% annually. Our business is funded by internally generated cash flows, asset recycling and upfinancing which support organic development and acquisition activities that contribute to cash flow growth. Our operating cash flows also have embedded growth levers including inflation escalations in the vast majority of our contracts, potential margin expansion through revenue growth and cost reduction initiatives.
Disciplined and contrarian investment strategy. Our global scale and multi-technology capabilities allow us to rotate capital where it is scarce in order to earn strong risk-adjusted returns. We take a disciplined approach to allocating capital into development and acquisitions focused on downside protection and preservation of capital, leveraging Brookfield’s team of over 150 investment professionals globally who are dedicated to sourcing and underwriting accretive acquisitions on an opportunistic basis. Our ability to develop and acquire assets is strengthened by our operating and project development teams across the globe, our strategic relationship with Brookfield, and our liquidity and capitalization profile.
Differentiated approach to asset development and asset management. We employ a conservative, differentiated approach with respect to asset development and management whereby we look to remove what we call “basis risk” before committing significant capital. To do this, we look to secure financing, customer agreements and engineering, procurement and construction contracts concurrently so we have strong visibility on cash flows and can lock-in our target returns. Where possible, we look to secure fixed rate financing, inflation indexed customer agreements and full wrap construction contracts to minimize uncertainty and provide strong visibility to our cash flows.

Operations
Funds From Operations of $315 million or $0.48 on a per Unit basis is higher than the prior year driven by:
•Contributions from growth, both from acquisitions and over 7,000 MW of new development projects reaching commercial operation in the past 12 months;
•Stable and growing contracted, inflation linked cash flows from our global operating fleet; and
•Accretive capital recycling activities
After deducting non-cash depreciation, foreign exchange and derivative gains or losses and other, net loss attributable to Unitholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $197 million.
Our large global operating fleet which is approximately 90% contracted, with approximately 70% of revenues indexed to inflation is largely unimpacted from the recently announced tariffs. We will continue to monitor and assess potential impacts and leverage our large global supply chain and strong relationships with domestic U.S. suppliers to mitigate future impacts.
We continued to be a global partner of choice to procure clean power by:
•Advancing commercial priorities, including securing contracts to deliver an incremental ~4,500 GWh per year of generation
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our significant access to scale capital and strong investment grade balance sheet with BBB+ credit rating continues to differentiate our franchise and support our growth initiatives
•Our financial position remains strong with $4.5 billion of available liquidity at the end of the quarter
•In March, we opportunistically issued C$450 million of 10-year notes at 4.54%. We achieved our lowest coupon in the past 5 years and our 155-bps spread matched our tightest new issue spread in almost 20 years
Executed asset recycling initiatives and advanced our robust pipeline, closing or reaching agreements to sell ~$900 million of assets and businesses (~$230 million net to Brookfield Renewable) in the quarter, including:
•Closed the first phase of our India portfolio sale and the sale of our interest in a joint venture with over 2 GW of pumped storage capacity in the U.K., generating almost three times our invested capital and a ~20% return; and
•Following our sale of a 50% interest in an 845 MW portfolio of wind assets in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2024, we agreed to sell an additional 25% on the same terms, generating almost two times our invested capital and proceeds of ~$200 million (~$50 million net to Brookfield Renewable)
Growth and Development
Together with our institutional partners, we have deployed or committed to deploy ~$4.6 billion (~$500 million net to Brookfield Renewable) across multiple investments, adding leading platforms and assets in the U.S. and globally, including:
•Agreed to acquire a fully integrated onshore renewable power operator and developer in the U.S. with 3.9 GW of operating and under construction assets, a 1 GW construction ready portfolio and an over 30 GW development pipeline, focused predominantly on utility-scale solar and battery storage systems; and
•Successfully acquired the remaining outstanding shares of Neoen, resulting in our 100% ownership of the business (expected 8%, net to Brookfield Renewable). The privatization and close of the acquisition further demonstrates our ability to execute scale acquisitions and the opportunity in the present market for investors with access to capital. We expect to drive value generation through the acceleration of Neoen’s development activities and via the implementation of an asset rotation program
We continue to accelerate our development activities
•We delivered ~800 MW of capacity during the quarter and expect to bring on ~8,000 MW of new renewable capacity this year

◦Our development projects are well protected against changes in input costs as a result of the implementation of new tariffs as most of our projects have fixed priced engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) contracts that have limited exposure to price increases. Where we do retain price exposure, we have also taken actions to help limit the impact on our returns by integrating clauses in our power purchase agreement (“PPA”) contracts to enable price adjustments. These fixed price EPC contracts and PPA adjustment clauses help protect against changes in input costs impacting our currently under construction and near-term development pipeline; and we will continue to execute our development with this approach going forward.
◦Further supporting our development in light of recently announced tariffs, we have a diverse global supply chain that supports our U.S. and worldwide development and have proactively increased consumption of domestic goods in the U.S. through the signing of framework agreements with original equipment manufacturers to support the expansion of domestic suppliers.
We have been active in repurchasing our units at current trading levels, as we see this as an accretive use of capital. Year-to-date we have bought back approximately $35 million of our own units, while ensuring we have substantial liquidity to take advantage of the robust growth opportunities we are seeing today.

Variance Analysis For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Revenues totaling $1,580 million represents an increase of $88 million over the same period in the prior year due to our stable and growing contracted, inflation-linked cash flows from our global operating fleet, successful commissioning of new capacity and recently closed investments. Recently acquired and commissioned facilities that we consolidate contributed 3,613 GWh of generation and $239 million to revenues, which was partly offset by our recently completed asset sales that reduced generation by 495 GWh and revenues by $61 million. On a same store, constant currency basis, revenue decreased by $31 million as the benefits from inflation escalation on our contracted generation in Canada, Brazil and Colombia, strong pricing on recent recontracting initiatives at our hydroelectric assets and higher resources at our wind portfolio and South American hydroelectric assets were offset by lower resources at our North American hydroelectric assets, which benefited from unseasonably mild conditions in the prior year that pulled hydrology forward and resulted in above LTA generation.
The strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the same period in the prior year across most currencies decreased revenues by $59 million, which was partly offset by a $39 million favorable foreign exchange impact on our direct operating costs and interest expense for the quarter.
Direct operating costs totaling $675 million represents an increase of $41 million over the same period in the prior year primarily due to additional costs from our recently acquired and commissioned facilities, which were partially offset by our recently completed asset sales and the above noted strengthening of the U.S. dollar.
Management service costs totaling $49 million represents an increase of $4 million over the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense totaling $609 million represents an increase of $133 million over the same period in the prior year due primarily to recent acquisitions, including temporary bridge funding associated with the acquisition of Neoen that is attributed to our institutional partners and financing initiatives to fund development activities, partially offset by the above noted strengthening of the U.S. dollar.
Depreciation expense totaling $583 million represents an increase of $81 million over the same period in the prior year due to the growth of our business.
Net loss totaling $108 million represents a decrease of $38 million over the prior year primarily due to the above noted items and stamp duties levied upon reaching prescribed ownership thresholds in certain jurisdictions Neoen operates that were factored into our underwriting, partly offset by a gain on sale of our interest in a pumped storage business in the U.K.

All values are in US Dollars.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment totaled $73.7 billion as at March 31, 2025 compared to $73.5 billion as at December 31, 2024, representing an increase of $0.2 billion. Our continued investments in the development of power generating assets increased property, plant and equipment by $1.8 billion, and the weakening of the U.S. dollar versus most currencies increased property, plant and equipment by $1.2 billion. These increases were partly offset by assets reclassified to held for sale that decreased property, plant and equipment by $2.2 billion and depreciation expense that decreased property, plant and equipment by $0.6 billion.
Assets held for sale and Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale
Assets held for sale and Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale totaled $3,084 million and $1,705 million, respectively, as at March 31, 2025 and are comprised of an 845 MW portfolio of wind assets in the U.S., and a 638 MW portfolio of solar assets in India. Assets held for sale also include a 650 MW portfolio of wind, solar and battery assets in Australia that were classified as held for sale upon the acquisition of Neoen.

Brookfield Renewable has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield, whereby Brookfield Renewable gained control of the entities that own certain renewable power generating facilities. Brookfield Renewable has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of the Colombian business. The voting agreements provide Brookfield Renewable the authority to direct the election of the Boards of Directors of the relevant entities, among other things, and therefore provide Brookfield Renewable with control. Accordingly, Brookfield Renewable consolidates the accounts of these entities.
Brookfield Renewable participates with institutional partners in Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund V, Brookfield Infrastructure Income Fund, Brookfield Global Transition Fund I, Brookfield Global Transition Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Debt Fund, and the Catalytic Transition Fund (“Private Funds”), each of which is a Brookfield sponsored fund, and in connection therewith, Brookfield Renewable, together with our institutional partners, has access to financing using the Private Funds’ credit facilities.
From time to time, in order to facilitate investment activities in a timely and efficient manner, Brookfield Renewable will fund deposits or incur other costs and expenses (including by use of loan facilities to consummate, support, guarantee or issue letters of credit) in respect of an investment that ultimately will be shared with or made entirely by Brookfield sponsored vehicles, consortiums and/or partnerships (including private funds, joint ventures and similar arrangements), Brookfield Renewable, or by co-investors.
Brookfield Corporation has provided a $400 million committed unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in December 2029 and the draws bear interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a margin. During the current period, there were no draws on the committed unsecured revolving credit facility provided by Brookfield Corporation.
Brookfield Corporation may from time to time place funds on deposit with Brookfield Renewable, which are repayable on demand including any interest accrued. There were nil funds placed on deposit with Brookfield Renewable as at March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024: nil). The interest expense on the Brookfield Corporation revolving credit facility and deposit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled nil (2024: nil).
Brookfield Renewable from time to time may enter into agreements with Brookfield and its subsidiaries to transfer income tax credits generated by renewable energy projects. These agreements are typically entered into at market rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Brookfield Renewable transferred $19 million (2024: nil) of income tax credits to Brookfield and its subsidiaries.
During the first quarter of 2025, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the sale of a 52 MW utility-scale solar asset in Jamaica owned by Neoen to an associate of Brookfield Renewable for proceeds of approximately $19 million (approximately $2 million net to Brookfield Renewable). The asset was subject to a pre-existing sale and purchase agreement negotiated at arms’ length that was entered into prior to Brookfield Renewable acquiring Neoen and therefore no gain or loss was recorded as a result of the transaction.
In addition, our company has executed, amended, or terminated other agreements with Brookfield that are described in Note 29 - Related party transactions in Brookfield Renewable’s December 31, 2024 audited consolidated financial statements.

North America
Funds From Operations at our North American business was $103 million versus $137 million in the prior year as the benefit from higher average revenue per MWh due to recontracting initiatives and inflation indexation on our contacted generation was offset by lower resources compared to the prior year. Last year benefited from unseasonably mild conditions that pulled hydrology inflows forward, resulting in above LTA generation (12%) and increased FFO by $39 million.
Brazil
Funds From Operations at our Brazilian business was $30 million versus $36 million in the prior year as the benefit of higher hydrology and inflation indexation on our contracted generation was offset by lower pricing realized on our uncontracted generation and the weakening of the Brazilian real versus the U.S. dollar.
Colombia
Funds From Operations at our Colombian business was $30 million versus $20 million in the prior year as the benefits from stronger hydrology and higher average revenue per MWh on contracted generation and inflation indexation was partially offset by the weakening of the Colombian peso versus the U.S. dollar and higher realized pricing on our uncontracted generation in the prior year driven by weak system-wide hydrology.

CONTRACT PROFILE
We operate our power business on a largely contracted basis to provide a high degree of predictability in Funds From Operations. We maintain a long-term view that electricity prices and the demand for electricity will rise due to electrification of the global economy including segments like industrial and transportation as well as from increasing digitalization. We also expect demand for clean power to grow as renewables are the cheapest form of bulk electricity generation, on the increasing level of acceptance around climate change and the legislated requirements in some areas to diversify away from fossil fuel based generation.
In Brazil and Colombia, we also expect power prices will continue to be supported by the need to build new supply over the medium-to-long term to serve growing demand and therefore we would expect to capture rising prices as we re-contract our power over the medium-term.
The following table sets out our power contracts over the next five years for generation output in North America, Brazil, Europe and certain other countries, assuming long-term average on a proportionate basis. The table excludes Brazil and Colombia hydroelectric portfolios, where we would expect the energy associated with maturing contracts to be re-contracted in the normal course given the construct of the respective power markets. In these countries we currently have a contracted profile of approximately 80% and 85%, respectively, of the long-term average and we would expect to maintain this going forward. Overall, our power portfolio has a weighted-average remaining contract duration of 14 years on a proportionate basis.

In North America, over the next five years, a number of contracts will expire at our hydroelectric facilities. Based on current market prices for energy and ancillary products, we expect a net positive impact to cash flows.
In our Colombian portfolio, we continue to focus on securing long-term contracts while maintaining a certain percentage of uncontracted generation to mitigate hydrology risk.
The majority of Brookfield Renewable’s long-term power purchase agreements within our North American and European businesses are with investment-grade rated or creditworthy counterparties. The economic exposure of our contracted generation on a proportionate basis is distributed as follows: power authorities (34%), distribution companies (23%), commercial & industrial users (32%) and Brookfield (11%).

We remain focused on refinancing near-term facilities on acceptable terms and maintaining a manageable maturity ladder. We do not anticipate material issues in refinancing our borrowings through 2029 on acceptable terms and will do so opportunistically based on the prevailing interest rate environment.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
We fund growth capital expenditures with cash flow generated from operations, supplemented by non-recourse debt sized to investment grade coverage and covenant thresholds. This is designed to ensure that our investments have stable capital structures supported by a substantial level of equity and that cash flows at the asset level can be remitted freely to our company. This strategy also underpins our investment grade profile.
To fund large scale development projects and acquisitions, we will evaluate a variety of capital sources including proceeds from selling mature businesses, in addition to raising money in the capital markets through equity, debt and preferred share issuances. Furthermore, we have $2.5 billion of committed revolving credit facilities available for investments and acquisitions, as well as funding the equity component of organic growth initiatives. The facilities are intended, and have historically been used, as a bridge to a long-term financing strategy rather than a permanent source of capital.

CRITICAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, which require the use of estimates and judgments in reporting assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and contingencies. In the judgment of management, none of the estimates outlined in Note 1 – Basis of preparation and material accounting policy information in our audited consolidated financial statements are considered critical accounting estimates as defined in Canadian National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations with the exception of the estimates related to the valuation of property, plant and equipment, financial instruments, deferred income tax liabilities, decommissioning liabilities and impairment of goodwill. These assumptions include estimates of future electricity prices, discount rates, expected long-term average generation, inflation rates, terminal year, the amount and timing of operating and capital costs and the income tax rates of future income tax provisions. Estimates also include determination of accruals, provisions, purchase price allocations, useful lives, asset valuations, asset impairment testing and those relevant to the defined benefit pension and non-pension benefit plans. Estimates are based on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In making estimates, management relies on external information and observable conditions where possible, supplemented by internal analysis, as required. These estimates have been applied in a manner consistent with that in the prior year and there are no known trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that we believe will materially affect the methodology or assumptions utilized in this report. These estimates are impacted by, among other things, future power prices, movements in interest rates, foreign exchange volatility and other factors, some of which are highly uncertain, as described in the “Risk Factors” section. The interrelated nature of these factors prevents us from quantifying the overall impact of these movements on Brookfield Renewable’s financial statements in a meaningful way. These sources of estimation uncertainty relate in varying degrees to substantially all asset and liability account balances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 is expected to improve the quality of financial reporting by requiring defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosure about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. Brookfield Renewable has not yet determined the impact of this standard on its disclosures.
Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) - Contracts Referencing Nature-Dependent Electricity
The amendments apply only to contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity and clarify the application of the “own-use” requirements, the use of hedge accounting, and adds new disclosure requirements around the effect of these contracts on the partnership’s financial performance and cash flows. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Brookfield Renewable is currently assessing the impacts of these amendments.
There are currently no other future changes to IFRS with a potential material impact on Brookfield Renewable.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to the quarter, having met the required statutory threshold for ownership, Brookfield Renewable completed a squeeze-out transaction to acquire the remaining outstanding 2% of Neoen shares and the outstanding convertible bonds resulting in the delisting of Neoen on the Euronext Paris.

Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable repurchased and cancelled 306,300 LP units on the Toronto Stock Exchange at a total cost of approximately $7 million.
Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable declared the fixed quarterly distributions on the Class A Preference Shares, Series 1 of BRP Equity during the five years commencing May 1, 2025 will be paid at an annual rate of 5.203%.
Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable declared the floating quarterly distributions on the Class A Preference Shares, Series 2 of BRP Equity during the three months commencing May 1, 2025 will be paid at an annualized rate of 5.76%.
Subsequent to the quarter, 1,619 Class A Preference Shares, Series 1 of BRP Equity were converted, on a one-for-one basis, into Class A Preference Shares, Series 2 of BRP Equity.
Subsequent to the quarter, 1,524,396 Class A Preference Shares, Series 2 of BRP Equity were converted, on a one-for-one basis, into Class A Preference Shares, Series 2 of BRP Equity.

PRESENTATION TO PUBLIC STAKEHOLDERS
Equity
Brookfield Renewable’s consolidated equity interests include (i) non-voting publicly traded LP units, held by public unitholders and Brookfield, (ii) BEPC exchangeable shares, held by public shareholders and Brookfield Holders, (iii) class A.2 exchangeable shares, held by Brookfield, (iv) Redeemable/Exchangeable Limited partnership units in BRELP, a holding subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, held by Brookfield, and (v) the GP interest in BRELP, held by Brookfield.
The LP units, the BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units have the same economic attributes in all respects, except that the BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares provide the holder, and the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units provide Brookfield, the right to request that all or a portion of such shares or units be redeemed for cash consideration. Brookfield Renewable, however, has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy any such redemption request related to Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units and BEPC exchangeable shares with LP units, rather than cash, on a one-for-one basis. Similarly, Brookfield Renewable has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy any such redemption request related to class A.2 exchangeable shares with BEPC exchangeable shares or LP units, at the election of Brookfield, rather than cash, on a on-for-one basis. The public holders of BEPC exchangeable shares, and Brookfield Holders, as holder of BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, participates in earnings and distributions on a per unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of the LP units. Because Brookfield Renewable, at its sole discretion, has the right to settle any redemption request in respect of BEPC exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units with LP units and any redemption request in respect of class A.2 exchangeable shares with BEPC exchangeable shares or LP units, at the election of Brookfield, the BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units are classified under equity, and not as a liability.
Given the exchange feature referenced above, we are presenting LP units, BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, and GP Interest as separate components of consolidated equity. This presentation does not impact the total income (loss), per unit or share information, or total consolidated equity.
Actual and Long-term Average Generation
For assets acquired, disposed or reaching commercial operation during the year, reported generation is calculated from the acquisition, disposition or commercial operation date and is not annualized. Generation on a same store basis refers to the generation of assets that were owned during both periods presented. As it relates to Colombia only, generation includes both hydroelectric and cogeneration facilities. Distributed energy & sustainable solutions includes generation from our distributed generation, pumped storage, North America cogeneration and Brazil biomass assets.
North America hydroelectric long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation based on historical inflow data performed over a period of typically 30 years. Colombia hydroelectric long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation based on historical inflow data performed over a period of typically 20 years. For substantially all of our hydroelectric assets in Brazil the long-term average is based on the reference amount of electricity allocated to our facilities under the market framework which levelizes generation risk across producers. Wind long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of simulated historical wind speed data performed over a period of typically 10 years. Utility-scale solar long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation using historical irradiance levels in the locations of our projects from the last 14 to 20 years combined with actual generation data during the operational period.
We compare actual generation levels against the long-term average to highlight the impact of an important factor that affects the variability of our business results. In the short-term, we recognize that hydrology, wind and irradiance conditions will vary from one period to the next; over time however, we expect our facilities will continue to produce in line with their long-term averages, which have proven to be reliable indicators of performance.
Our risk of a generation shortfall in Brazil continues to be minimized by participation in the MRE administered by the government of Brazil. This program mitigates hydrology risk by assuring that all participants receive, at any particular point in time, an assured energy amount, irrespective of the actual volume of energy generated. The program reallocates
| Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | March 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Page 42 |
energy, transferring surplus energy from those who generated an excess to those who generate less than their assured energy, up to the total generation within the pool. Periodically, low precipitation across the entire country’s system could result in a temporary reduction of generation available for sale. During these periods, we expect that a higher proportion of thermal generation would be needed to balance supply and demand in the country, potentially leading to higher overall spot market prices.
Generation from our pumped storage and cogeneration facilities in North America is highly dependent on market price conditions rather than the generating capacity of the facilities. Our pumped storage facility in Europe generates on a dispatchable basis when required by our contracts for ancillary services. Generation from our biomass facilities in Brazil is dependent on the amount of sugar cane harvested in a given year. For these reasons, we do not consider a long-term average for these facilities.
Voting Agreements with Affiliates
Brookfield Renewable has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield, whereby Brookfield Renewable gained control or have significant influence over the entities that own certain renewable power and sustainable solution investments. Brookfield Renewable has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of the Colombian business. The voting agreements provide Brookfield Renewable the authority to direct the election of the Boards of Directors of the relevant entities, among other things, and therefore provide Brookfield Renewable with control. Accordingly, Brookfield Renewable consolidates the accounts of these entities.
For entities previously controlled by Brookfield Corporation, the voting agreements entered into do not represent business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3, as all combining businesses are ultimately controlled by Brookfield Corporation both before and after the transactions were completed. Brookfield Renewable accounts for these transactions involving entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interest, which requires the presentation of pre-voting agreement financial information as if the transactions had always been in place. Refer to Note 1(s)(ii) – Critical judgments in applying accounting policies – Common control transactions in our December 31, 2024 audited consolidated financial statements for our policy on accounting for transactions under common control.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
Segment Information
Our operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) utility-scale solar, 4) distributed energy and storage (distributed generation, pumped storage and battery energy storage systems), 5) sustainable solutions (agricultural renewable natural gas, carbon capture and storage, recycling, cogeneration, biomass, nuclear services, eFuels, and power transformation), and 6) corporate - with hydroelectric further segmented by geography (i.e., North America, Colombia, and Brazil). This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews results of our company.
We report our results in accordance with these segments and present prior period segmented information in a consistent manner. See Note 6 – Segmented information in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
One of our primary business objectives is to generate stable and growing cash flows while minimizing risk for the benefit of all stakeholders. We monitor our performance in this regard through three key metrics – i) Net Income (Loss), ii) Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and iii) Funds From Operations.
It is important to highlight that Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and have limitations as analytical tools. We provide additional information below on how we determine Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations. We also provide reconciliations to Net income (loss). See “Part 4 – Financial Performance Review on Proportionate Information – Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” and “Part 6 – Selected Quarterly Information – Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures”.

| Page 43 |
Proportionate Information
Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources has been provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects Brookfield Renewable’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method, whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides a Unitholder perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results that can be allocated to Unitholders.
Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, current income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items (1) include Brookfield Renewable’s proportionate share of earnings (loss) from equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, (2) exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items, and (3) other income includes but is not limited to our proportionate share of settled foreign currency and other hedges, income earned on financial assets and structured investments in sustainable solutions, monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects and realized disposition gains on non-core assets and on recently developed assets that we have monetized to reflect the economic value created from our development activities as we design, build and commercialize new renewable energy capacity and sell these assets to lower cost of capital buyers which may not otherwise be reflected in our consolidated statements of income.
The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
•The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and
•Other companies may calculate proportionate results differently than we do.
Because of these limitations, our proportionate financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under IFRS.
Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses do not represent Brookfield Renewable’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable’s legal claims or exposures to such items.
Unless the context indicates or requires otherwise, information with respect to the megawatts ("MW") attributable to Brookfield Renewable’s facilities, including development assets, is presented on a consolidated basis, including with respect to facilities whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or jointly controls the applicable facility.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income (loss) is calculated in accordance with IFRS.
Net income (loss) is an important measure of profitability, in particular because it has a standardized meaning under IFRS. The presentation of net income (loss) on an IFRS basis for our business will often lead to the recognition of a loss even though the underlying cash flows generated by the assets are supported by strong margins and stable, long-term power purchase agreements. The primary reason for this is that accounting rules require us to recognize a significantly higher level of depreciation for our assets than we are required to reinvest in the business as sustaining capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze the operating performance of companies.
Brookfield Renewable uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of its operations before the effects of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, management service costs, non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash income or loss from equity-accounted investments, distributions to preferred shareholders, preferred limited partnership unit holders, perpetual subordinated noteholders and other typical non-recurring items. Brookfield Renewable adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and/or are not factors used by
| Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | March 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Page 44 |
management for evaluating operating performance. Brookfield Renewable includes other income within Adjusted EBITDA in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in the current period.
Brookfield Renewable believes that presentation of this measure will enhance an investor’s ability to evaluate its financial and operating performance on an allocable basis.
Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze net earnings from operations without the effects of certain volatile items that generally have no current financial impact or items not directly related to the performance of Brookfield Renewable.
Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of Brookfield Renewable before the effects of certain cash items (e.g. acquisition costs and other typical non-recurring cash items) and certain non-cash items (e.g. deferred income taxes, depreciation, non-cash portion of non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, and other non-cash items) as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business. Brookfield Renewable includes other income in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in the current period. In the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Brookfield Renewable, the revaluation approach is used in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, whereby depreciation is determined based on a revalued amount, thereby reducing comparability with peers who do not report under IFRS as issued by the IASB or who do not employ the revaluation approach to measuring property, plant and equipment. Management adds back deferred income taxes on the basis that they do not believe this item reflects the present value of the actual tax obligations that they expect Brookfield Renewable to incur over the long-term investment horizon of Brookfield Renewable.
Brookfield Renewable believes that analysis and presentation of Funds From Operations on this basis will enhance an investor’s understanding of the performance of Brookfield Renewable. Funds From Operations is not a substitute measure of performance for earnings per share and does not represent amounts available for distribution.
Funds From Operations is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Funds From Operations used by other entities, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALPAC”) and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”). Furthermore, this measure is not used by the CODM to assess Brookfield Renewable’s liquidity.
Proportionate Debt
Proportionate debt is presented based on the proportionate share of borrowings obligations relating to the investments of Brookfield Renewable in various portfolio businesses. The proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Proportionate debt measures are provided because management believes it assists investors and analysts in estimating the overall performance and understanding the leverage pertaining specifically to Brookfield’s share of its invested capital in a given investment. When used in conjunction with Proportionate Adjusted EBITDA, proportionate debt is expected to provide useful information as to how Brookfield Renewable has financed its businesses at the asset-level. Management believes that the proportionate presentation, when read in conjunction with Brookfield Renewable’s reported results under IFRS, including consolidated debt, provides a more meaningful assessment of how the operations of Brookfield Renewable are performing and capital is being managed. The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
•Proportionate debt amounts do not represent the consolidated obligation for debt underlying a consolidated investment. If an individual project does not generate sufficient cash flows to service the entire amount of its debt payments, management may determine, in their discretion, to pay the shortfall through an equity injection to avoid defaulting on the obligation. Such a shortfall may not be apparent from or may not equal the difference between aggregate Proportionate Adjusted EBITDA for all of the portfolio investments of Brookfield Renewable and aggregate proportionate debt for all of the portfolio investments of Brookfield Renewable; and
•Other companies may calculate proportionate debt differently.
Because of these limitations, the proportionate financial information of Brookfield Renewable should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial statements of Brookfield Renewable as reported under IFRS.

significant influence over us; Brookfield’s election not to source acquisition opportunities for us and our lack of access to all renewable power acquisitions that Brookfield identifies, including by reason of conflicts of interest; the departure of some or all of Brookfield’s key professionals; Brookfield acting in a way that is not in our best interests or the best interests of our shareholders or our unitholders; our inability to terminate the Master Services Agreement and the limited liability of the Service Provider under our arrangements with them; Brookfield’s relationship with walled-off businesses (including Oaktree); changes in how Brookfield elects to hold its ownership interests in Brookfield Renewable; changes in the amount of cash we can distribute to our unitholders; future sales or issuances of our securities will result in dilution of existing holders and even the perception of such sales or issuances taking place could depress the trading price of the BEP units or BEPC exchangeable shares; any changes in the market price of the BEP units and BEPC exchangeable shares; the inability of our unitholders to take part in the management of BEP; limits on unitholders’ ability to obtain favourable judicial forum for disputes related to BEP or to enforce judgements against us; our reliance on subsidiaries to provide funds to pay distributions; foreign currency risk associated with BEP’s distributions; we are not subject to the same disclosure requirements as a U.S. domestic issuer; being deemed an “investment company” under the Investment Company Act; the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting; changes in tax law and practice; and other factors described in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F, including those set forth under Item 3.D “Risk Factors”.
We caution that 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 report and should not be relied upon as representing our views as of any date subsequent to the date of this report. 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. For further information on these known and unknown risks, please see “Risk Factors” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 20-F and other risks and factors that are described therein.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING USE OF NON-IFRS MEASURES
This report contains references to Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit which are not generally accepted accounting measures standardized under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit used by other entities. In particular, our definition of Funds From Operations may differ from the definition of funds from operations used by other organizations, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”), in part because the NAREIT definition is based on U.S. GAAP, as opposed to IFRS. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit are useful supplemental measures that may assist investors in assessing our financial performance. None of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations or Funds From Operations 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. These non-IFRS measures reflect how we manage our business and, in our opinion, enable the investors and other readers to better understand our business.
Reconciliations of each of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit to net income (loss) are presented in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis. We have also provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations to net income in Note 6 – Segmented information in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.

Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), have been omitted or condensed. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Brookfield Renewable’s December 31, 2024 audited consolidated financial statements. The interim consolidated statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the December 31, 2024 audited consolidated financial statements.
The results reported in these interim consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire year. The policies set out below are consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.
These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of Brookfield Renewable’s general partner, BRPL, on May 1, 2025.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
References to $, C$, €, £, R$, COP, INR, and CNY are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, British pound, Brazilian reais, Colombian pesos, Indian rupees, and Chinese yuan, respectively.
All figures are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
(b) Basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of property, plant and equipment and certain assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value. Cost is recorded based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
(c) Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries, which are the entities over which Brookfield Renewable has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Non-controlling interests in the equity of Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries are shown separately in equity in the interim consolidated statements of financial position.
(d) Future changes in accounting policies
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 is expected to improve the quality of financial reporting by requiring defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosure about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. Brookfield Renewable has not yet determined the impact of this standard on its disclosures.
Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) - Contracts Referencing Nature-Dependent Electricity
The amendments apply only to contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity and clarify the application of the “own-use” requirements, the use of hedge accounting, and adds new disclosure requirements around the effect of these contracts on the partnership’s financial performance and cash flows. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Brookfield Renewable is currently assessing the impacts of these amendments.
There are currently no other future changes to IFRS with a potential material impact on Brookfield Renewable.

- ACQUISITIONS
Neoen
In December 2024, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the acquisition of a 53% controlling stake in Neoen, a leading global renewables developer headquartered in France for proceeds of €3.2 billion ($3.4 billion) (expected €258 million ($269 million) net to Brookfield Renewable) (the “Initial Investment”). Neoen has 8 GW of operating and in construction renewable power and energy storage assets, as well as a 20 GW development pipeline. Following the closing of the Initial Investment, the consortium was required to conduct a mandatory cash tender offer (“MTO”) for the remaining shares and convertible bonds of Neoen at the same price per share paid for its 53% controlling interest.
In January 2025, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners acquired an incremental 21,214,001 shares and 1,103,895 convertible bonds of Neoen on the open market during the pre-offer period, for €901 million ($926 million) (expected €72 million ($74 million)) net to Brookfield Renewable). After giving effect to the pre-offer period purchases, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners held an approximate 67% interest.
In March 2025, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners closed the MTO, pursuant to which a total of 46,084,401 shares and 2,578,731 convertible bonds of Neoen were acquired for €2.3 billion ($2.4 billion) (expected €182 million ($194 million) net to Brookfield Renewable). After giving effect to the MTO, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners held an approximate 98% interest as at March 31, 2025.
Total transaction costs pertaining to the acquisition to date, including stamp duties from achieving prescribed ownership thresholds in certain jurisdictions Neoen operates, have totaled $135 million of which, $125 million were incurred during the first quarter of 2025. These costs have been recognized in Other in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners implemented a squeeze-out procedure to acquire the Neoen shares not tendered in the offer. Refer to Note 10 - Non-controlling interests and Note 22 - Subsequent events for more details.
- DISPOSAL OF ASSETS
On January 15, 2025, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, received approximately 540 MW of distributed generation assets from its joint venture in a 1,020 MW distributed generation portfolio in China resulting in a reduction of our equity-accounted investment. Brookfield Renewable accounted for the distributed generation assets received as an asset acquisition as they do not constitute a business combination under IFRS 3. The dissolution of the joint venture is expected to occur during 2025. Refer to Note 8 - Property, plant and equipment for more details.
On February 28, 2025, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the sale of a 999 MW portfolio of wind and solar assets in India for proceeds of approximately INR16.5 billion ($188 million) (INR4.6 billion ($52 million) net to Brookfield Renewable. As a result of the disposition, Brookfield Renewable derecognized $565 million of total assets and $377 million of total liabilities from the consolidated statements of financial position. As a result of the disposition, accumulated other comprehensive income on foreign currency translation of $20 million ($6 million net to Brookfield Renewable) was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income directly to Other in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Transaction costs and taxes of $8 million ($2 million net to Brookfield Renewable) have been recognized within Other in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Brookfield Renewable’s post-tax portion of the accumulated revaluation surplus of $117 million was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income directly to equity and presented as a Disposal item in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.
On March 25, 2025, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the sale of a 25% interest in a 2.2 GW pumped storage facility in Europe for proceeds of approximately £280 million ($361 million) (£80 million ($105 million) net to Brookfield Renewable). As a result of the disposition, Brookfield Renewable derecognized $604 million of total assets and $317 million of total liabilities from the consolidated statements of financial position. This resulted in a gain on disposition, before adjusting items, of $73 million ($22 million net to Brookfield Renewable) recognized within Other income in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Accumulated other comprehensive income on foreign currency translation of $16 million ($5 million net to Brookfield Renewable) was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income directly to Other income in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Transaction costs of $11 million ($3 million net to Brookfield Renewable) were recognized in the previous year within Other in the consolidated statements of income (loss). As a result of the disposition, Brookfield Renewable’s post-tax portion of the accumulated revaluation surplus of $187 million was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income directly to equity and presented as a Disposal item in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

- RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
RISK MANAGEMENT
Brookfield Renewable’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (i.e., commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Brookfield Renewable uses financial instruments primarily to manage these risks.
There have been no other material changes in exposure to the risks Brookfield Renewable is exposed to since the December 31, 2024 audited consolidated financial statements.
Fair value disclosures
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates. In determining those assumptions, management looks primarily to external readily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves, currency rates, commodity prices and, as applicable, credit spreads.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset is the consideration that would be received in an orderly transaction between market participants, considering the highest and best use of the asset.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels, described below. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.
Level 1 – inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs, other than quoted prices in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

(a) Energy derivative contracts and IFRS 9 PPAs
Brookfield Renewable has entered into long-term energy derivative contracts primarily to stabilize or eliminate the price risk on the sale of certain future power generation. Certain energy contracts are recorded in Brookfield Renewable's interim consolidated financial statements at an amount equal to fair value, using quoted market prices or, in their absence, a valuation model using both internal and third-party evidence and forecasts.
(b) Interest rate hedges
Brookfield Renewable has entered into interest rate hedge contracts primarily to minimize exposure to interest rate fluctuations on its variable rate debt or to lock in interest rates on future debt refinancing. All interest rate hedge contracts are recorded in the interim consolidated financial statements at fair value.

- SEGMENTED INFORMATION
Brookfield Renewable’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the chief operating decision maker or “CODM”) review the results of the business, manage operations, and allocate resources based on the type of technology.
Brookfield Renewable operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) utility-scale solar, 4) distributed energy and storage (distributed generation, pumped storage and battery energy storage systems), 5) sustainable solutions (renewable natural gas, carbon capture and storage, recycling, cogeneration biomass, nuclear services, and power transformation), and 6) corporate - with hydroelectric further segmented by geography (i.e., North America, Colombia, and Brazil). This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews results of our company.
Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources is provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects Brookfield Renewable’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides a Unitholder (holders of the GP interest, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2
| Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Interim Report | March 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Page 59 |
exchangeable shares and LP units) perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results allocable to Brookfield Renewable’s Unitholders.
Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate consolidation basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, current income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items (1) include Brookfield Renewable’s proportionate share of earnings from equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, (2) exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items , and (3) other income includes but is not limited to our proportionate share of settled foreign currency and other hedges, income earned on financial assets and structured investments in sustainable solutions, monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects credits and realized disposition gains on non-core assets and on recently developed assets that we have monetized to reflect the economic value created from our development activities as we design, build and commercialize new renewable energy capacity and sell these assets to lower cost of capital buyers which may not otherwise be reflected in our consolidated statements of income.
Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its consolidated financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses does not represent Brookfield Renewable’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable’s legal claims or exposures to such items.
Brookfield Renewable reports its results in accordance with these segments and presents prior period segmented information in a consistent manner.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – Basis of preparation and material accounting policy information. Brookfield Renewable analyzes the performance of its operating segments based on Funds From Operations. Funds From Operations is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Funds From Operations used by other entities, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALPAC”) and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”).
Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of Brookfield Renewable before the effects of certain cash items (e.g., acquisition costs and other typical non-recurring cash items) and certain non-cash items (e.g., deferred income taxes, depreciation, non-cash portion of non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, and other non-cash items) as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business, and including monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects. Brookfield Renewable includes realized disposition gains and losses on assets that we developed and/or did not intend to hold over the long-term within Funds From Operations in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in current period net income.

- INCOME TAXES
Brookfield Renewable's effective income tax rate was 44.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (2024: (25)%). The effective tax rate is different than the statutory rate primarily due to investment and production tax credits, changes in tax assets not recognized, non-controlling interest income not subject to tax, and rate differentials.
The partnership operates in countries, including Canada, which have enacted new legislation to implement the global minimum top-up tax, effective from January 1, 2024. The partnership/company has applied a temporary mandatory relief from recognizing and disclosing deferred taxes in connection with the global minimum top-up tax and will account for it as a current tax when it is incurred. There is no material current tax impact for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The global minimum top-up tax is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the financial position of the partnership.

Medium term notes
Corporate borrowings are obligations of a finance subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield Renewable Partners ULC (“Canadian Finco”) (Note 21 – Subsidiary public issuers). Canadian Finco may redeem some or all of the borrowings from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the indenture. The balance is payable upon maturity, and interest on corporate borrowings is paid semi-annually. The term notes payable by Canadian Finco are unconditionally guaranteed by Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield Renewable Energy L.P. (“BRELP”) and certain other subsidiaries.
During the quarter, Brookfield Renewable issued C$450 million of Series 19 medium-term notes. The medium-term notes have a fixed interest rate of 4.54% and a maturity date of October 12, 2035. The Series 19 medium-term notes are corporate-level green bonds.
Non-recourse borrowings
Non-recourse borrowings are typically asset-specific, long-term, non-recourse borrowings denominated in the domestic currency of the subsidiary. Non-recourse borrowings in North America and Europe consist of both fixed and floating interest rate debt indexed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”), the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) and the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”). Brookfield Renewable uses interest rate swap agreements in North America and Europe to minimize its exposure to floating interest rates. Non-recourse borrowings in Brazil consist of floating interest rates of Taxa de Juros de Longo Prazo (“TJLP”), the Brazil National Bank for Economic Development’s long-term interest rate, or Interbank Deposit Certificate rate (“CDI”), plus a margin. Non-recourse borrowings in Colombia consist of both fixed and floating interest rates indexed to Indicador Bancario de Referencia rate (“IBR”), the Banco Central de Colombia short-term interest rate, and Colombian Consumer Price Index (“IPC”), Colombia inflation rate, plus a margin. Non-Recourse borrowings in India consist of both fixed and floating interest indexed to Prime lending rate of lender (“MCLR”). Non-recourse borrowings in China consist of floating interest rates of People's Bank of China (“PBOC”).

General partnership interest in a holding subsidiary held by Brookfield, Participating non-controlling interests – in a holding subsidiary – Redeemable/Exchangeable units held by Brookfield, Class A exchangeable shares of Brookfield Renewable Corporation held by public shareholders and Brookfield Holders and Class A.2 exchangeable shares of Brookfield Renewable Holdings Corporation held by Brookfield Holders.
Brookfield, as the owner of the 1% GP interest in BRELP, is entitled to regular distributions plus an incentive distribution based on the amount by which quarterly distributions exceed specified target levels. As at March 31, 2025, to the extent that LP unit distributions exceed $0.20 per LP unit per quarter, the incentive is 15% of distributions above this threshold. To the extent that quarterly LP unit distributions exceed $0.2253 per LP unit per quarter, the incentive distribution is equal to 25% of distributions above this threshold. Incentive distributions of $37 million were declared during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (2024: $33 million).
Consolidated equity includes Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and the GP interest. The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units and the GP interest are held 100% by Brookfield, the BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares are held 25% by Brookfield Holders, with the remainder held by public shareholders. The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares provide the holder, at its discretion, with the right to redeem these units or shares, respectively, for cash consideration. Since this redemption right is subject to Brookfield Renewable’s right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy the redemption request with LP units of Brookfield Renewable, or in the case of class A.2 exchangeable shares, BEPC exchangeable shares or LP units, at the election of Brookfield, rather than cash, on a one-for-one basis, the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares are classified as equity in accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation. Refer to Note 20 - Related party transactions for more details.
The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and the GP interest are presented as non-controlling interests since they relate to equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to Brookfield Renewable. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, exchangeable shareholders of BEPC exchanged 35,313 BEPC exchangeable shares (2024: 2,683 exchangeable shares) for an equivalent number of LP units amounting to less than $1 million (2024: less than $1 million). No Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units or class A.2 exchangeable shares have been redeemed.
The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units issued by BRELP, the BEPC exchangeable shares issued by BEPC and the class A.2 exchangeable shares issued by BRHC have the same economic attributes in all respects to the LP units issued by Brookfield Renewable, except for the redemption rights described above. The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and the GP interest, excluding incentive distributions, participate in earnings and distributions on a per unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of the LP units of Brookfield Renewable.
As at March 31, 2025, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares on a combined basis and units of GP interest outstanding were 194,487,939 units (December 31, 2024: 194,487,939 units), 179,605,538 shares (December 31, 2024: 179,640,851 shares), and 3,977,260 units (December 31, 2024: 3,977,260 units), respectively.

An integral part of Brookfield Renewable’s strategy is to participate with institutional partners in Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds that target acquisitions that suit Brookfield Renewable’s profile. In the normal course of business, Brookfield Renewable has made commitments to Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds to participate in these target acquisitions in the future, if and when identified. From time to time, in order to facilitate investment activities in a timely and efficient manner, Brookfield Renewable will fund deposits or incur other costs and expenses (including by use of loan facilities to consummate, support, guarantee or issue letters of credit) in respect of an investment that ultimately will be shared with or made entirely by Brookfield sponsored vehicles, consortiums and/or partnerships (including private funds, joint ventures and similar arrangements), Brookfield Renewable, or by co-investors.
Contingencies
Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, arbitrations and actions arising in the normal course of business. While the final outcome of such legal proceedings and actions cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such proceedings and actions will not have a material impact on Brookfield Renewable’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Brookfield Renewable, on behalf of Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries, and the subsidiaries themselves have provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance. The activity on the issued letters of credit by Brookfield Renewable can be found in Note 9 – Borrowings.
Brookfield Renewable, along with institutional partners, has provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance as it relates to interests in the Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, the Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund V, Brookfield Global Transition Fund, Brookfield Global Transition Fund II and The Catalytic Transition Fund. Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries have similarly provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance.
Letters of credit issued by Brookfield Renewable along with institutional partners and its subsidiaries were as at the following dates:
| (MILLIONS) | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brookfield Renewable along with institutional partners | $ | 73 | $ | 74 |
| Brookfield Renewable's subsidiaries | 3,749 | 2,718 | ||
| $ | 3,822 | $ | 2,792 |
Guarantees
In the normal course of operations, Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries execute agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third-parties of transactions such as business dispositions, capital project purchases, business acquisitions, power marketing activities such as purchase and sale agreements, swap agreements, credit facilities of certain Brookfield private funds and that are also secured by committed capital of our third-party institutional partners, and sales and purchases of assets and services. Brookfield Renewable has also agreed to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings prevents Brookfield Renewable from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that Brookfield Renewable could be required to pay third parties as the agreements do not always specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, neither Brookfield Renewable nor its subsidiaries have made material payments under such indemnification agreements.

Brookfield Renewable participates with institutional partners in Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund V, Brookfield Infrastructure Income Fund, Brookfield Global Transition Fund I, Brookfield Global Transition Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Debt Fund, and The Catalytic Transition Fund (“Private Funds”), each of which is a Brookfield sponsored fund, and in connection therewith, Brookfield Renewable, together with our institutional partners, has access to financing using the Private Funds’ credit facilities.
Brookfield Renewable from time to time may enter into agreements with Brookfield and its subsidiaries to transfer income tax credits generated by renewable energy projects. These agreements are typically entered into at market rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Brookfield Renewable transferred $19 million (2024: nil) of income tax credits to Brookfield and its subsidiaries.
During the first quarter of 2025, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the sale of a 52 MW utility-scale solar asset in Jamaica owned by Neoen to an associate of Brookfield Renewable for proceeds of approximately $19 million (approximately $2 million net to Brookfield Renewable). The asset was subject to a pre-existing sale and purchase agreement negotiated at arms’ length that was entered into prior to Brookfield Renewable acquiring Neoen and therefore no gain or loss was recorded as a result of the transaction.

- BASIS OF PREPARATION AND MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
(a) Statement of compliance
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34, Interim Financial Reporting.
Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”), as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (“IASB”), have been omitted or condensed. These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with Brookfield Renewable’s December 31, 2024 audited consolidated financial statements. The interim consolidated statements have been prepared on a basis consistent with the accounting policies disclosed in the December 31, 2024 audited consolidated financial statements.
The results reported in these interim consolidated financial statements should not be regarded as necessarily indicative of results that may be expected for an entire year. The policies set out below are consistently applied to all periods presented, unless otherwise noted.
These consolidated financial statements have been authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors of Brookfield Renewable’s general partner, BRPL, on May 1, 2025.
Certain comparative figures have been reclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.
References to $, C$, €, £, R$, COP, INR, and CNY are to United States (“U.S.”) dollars, Canadian dollars, Euros, British pound, Brazilian reais, Colombian pesos, Indian rupees, and Chinese yuan, respectively.
All figures are presented in millions of U.S. dollars unless otherwise noted.
(b) Basis of preparation
The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the revaluation of property, plant and equipment and certain assets and liabilities which have been measured at fair value. Cost is recorded based on the fair value of the consideration given in exchange for assets.
(c) Consolidation
These consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries, which are the entities over which Brookfield Renewable has control. An investor controls an investee when it is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Non-controlling interests in the equity of Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries are shown separately in equity in the interim consolidated statements of financial position.
(d) Future changes in accounting policies
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 is expected to improve the quality of financial reporting by requiring defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosure about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. Brookfield Renewable has not yet determined the impact of this standard on its disclosures.
Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) - Contracts Referencing Nature-Dependent Electricity
The amendments apply only to contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity and clarify the application of the “own-use” requirements, the use of hedge accounting, and adds new disclosure requirements around the effect of these contracts on the partnership’s financial performance and cash flows. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Brookfield Renewable is currently assessing the impacts of these amendments.
There are currently no other future changes to IFRS with a potential material impact on Brookfield Renewable.

- ACQUISITIONS
Neoen
In December 2024, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the acquisition of a 53% controlling stake in Neoen, a leading global renewables developer headquartered in France for proceeds of €3.2 billion ($3.4 billion) (expected €258 million ($269 million) net to Brookfield Renewable) (the “Initial Investment”). Neoen has 8 GW of operating and in construction renewable power and energy storage assets, as well as a 20 GW development pipeline. Following the closing of the Initial Investment, the consortium was required to conduct a mandatory cash tender offer (“MTO”) for the remaining shares and convertible bonds of Neoen at the same price per share paid for its 53% controlling interest.
In January 2025, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners acquired an incremental 21,214,001 shares and 1,103,895 convertible bonds of Neoen on the open market during the pre-offer period, for €901 million ($926 million) (expected €72 million ($74 million)) net to Brookfield Renewable). After giving effect to the pre-offer period purchases, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners held an approximate 67% interest.
In March 2025, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners closed the MTO, pursuant to which a total of 46,084,401 shares and 2,578,731 convertible bonds of Neoen were acquired for €2.3 billion ($2.4 billion) (expected €182 million ($194 million) net to Brookfield Renewable). After giving effect to the MTO, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners held an approximate 98% interest as at March 31, 2025.
Total transaction costs pertaining to the acquisition to date, including stamp duties from achieving prescribed ownership thresholds in certain jurisdictions Neoen operates, have totaled $135 million of which, $125 million were incurred during the first quarter of 2025. These costs have been recognized in Other in the consolidated statements of income (loss).
Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners implemented a squeeze-out procedure to acquire the Neoen shares not tendered in the offer. Refer to Note 10 - Non-controlling interests and Note 22 - Subsequent events for more details.
- DISPOSAL OF ASSETS
On January 15, 2025, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, received approximately 540 MW of distributed generation assets from its joint venture in a 1,020 MW distributed generation portfolio in China resulting in a reduction of our equity-accounted investment. Brookfield Renewable accounted for the distributed generation assets received as an asset acquisition as they do not constitute a business combination under IFRS 3. The dissolution of the joint venture is expected to occur during 2025. Refer to Note 8 - Property, plant and equipment for more details.
On February 28, 2025, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the sale of a 999 MW portfolio of wind and solar assets in India for proceeds of approximately INR16.5 billion ($188 million) (INR4.6 billion ($52 million) net to Brookfield Renewable. As a result of the disposition, Brookfield Renewable derecognized $565 million of total assets and $377 million of total liabilities from the consolidated statements of financial position. As a result of the disposition, accumulated other comprehensive income on foreign currency translation of $20 million ($6 million net to Brookfield Renewable) was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income directly to Other in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Transaction costs and taxes of $8 million ($2 million net to Brookfield Renewable) have been recognized within Other in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Brookfield Renewable’s post-tax portion of the accumulated revaluation surplus of $117 million was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income directly to equity and presented as a Disposal item in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.
On March 25, 2025, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the sale of a 25% interest in a 2.2 GW pumped storage facility in Europe for proceeds of approximately £280 million ($361 million) (£80 million ($105 million) net to Brookfield Renewable). As a result of the disposition, Brookfield Renewable derecognized $604 million of total assets and $317 million of total liabilities from the consolidated statements of financial position. This resulted in a gain on disposition, before adjusting items, of $73 million ($22 million net to Brookfield Renewable) recognized within Other income in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Accumulated other comprehensive income on foreign currency translation of $16 million ($5 million net to Brookfield Renewable) was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income directly to Other income in the consolidated statements of income (loss). Transaction costs of $11 million ($3 million net to Brookfield Renewable) were recognized in the previous year within Other in the consolidated statements of income (loss). As a result of the disposition, Brookfield Renewable’s post-tax portion of the accumulated revaluation surplus of $187 million was reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income directly to equity and presented as a Disposal item in the consolidated statements of changes in equity.

- RISK MANAGEMENT AND FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
RISK MANAGEMENT
Brookfield Renewable’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks, including market risk (i.e., commodity price risk, interest rate risk, and foreign currency risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. Brookfield Renewable uses financial instruments primarily to manage these risks.
There have been no other material changes in exposure to the risks Brookfield Renewable is exposed to since the December 31, 2024 audited consolidated financial statements.
Fair value disclosures
Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date.
Fair values determined using valuation models require the use of assumptions concerning the amount and timing of estimated future cash flows and discount rates. In determining those assumptions, management looks primarily to external readily observable market inputs such as interest rate yield curves, currency rates, commodity prices and, as applicable, credit spreads.
A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset is the consideration that would be received in an orderly transaction between market participants, considering the highest and best use of the asset.
Assets and liabilities measured at fair value are categorized into one of three hierarchy levels, described below. Each level is based on the transparency of the inputs used to measure the fair values of assets and liabilities.
Level 1 – inputs are based on unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities;
Level 2 – inputs, other than quoted prices in Level 1, that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly; and
Level 3 – inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data.

- SEGMENTED INFORMATION
Brookfield Renewable’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (collectively, the chief operating decision maker or “CODM”) review the results of the business, manage operations, and allocate resources based on the type of technology.
Brookfield Renewable operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) utility-scale solar, 4) distributed energy and storage (distributed generation, pumped storage and battery energy storage systems), 5) sustainable solutions (renewable natural gas, carbon capture and storage, recycling, cogeneration biomass, nuclear services, and power transformation), and 6) corporate - with hydroelectric further segmented by geography (i.e., North America, Colombia, and Brazil). This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews results of our company.
Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources is provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects Brookfield Renewable’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides a Unitholder (holders of the GP interest, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2
| Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Q1 2025 Interim Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes | March 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Page 13 |
exchangeable shares and LP units) perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results allocable to Brookfield Renewable’s Unitholders.
Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate consolidation basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, current income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items (1) include Brookfield Renewable’s proportionate share of earnings from equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, (2) exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items , and (3) other income includes but is not limited to our proportionate share of settled foreign currency and other hedges, income earned on financial assets and structured investments in sustainable solutions, monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects credits and realized disposition gains on non-core assets and on recently developed assets that we have monetized to reflect the economic value created from our development activities as we design, build and commercialize new renewable energy capacity and sell these assets to lower cost of capital buyers which may not otherwise be reflected in our consolidated statements of income.
Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its consolidated financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses does not represent Brookfield Renewable’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable’s legal claims or exposures to such items.
Brookfield Renewable reports its results in accordance with these segments and presents prior period segmented information in a consistent manner.
The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 1 – Basis of preparation and material accounting policy information. Brookfield Renewable analyzes the performance of its operating segments based on Funds From Operations. Funds From Operations is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Funds From Operations used by other entities, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALPAC”) and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”).
Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of Brookfield Renewable before the effects of certain cash items (e.g., acquisition costs and other typical non-recurring cash items) and certain non-cash items (e.g., deferred income taxes, depreciation, non-cash portion of non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, and other non-cash items) as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business, and including monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects. Brookfield Renewable includes realized disposition gains and losses on assets that we developed and/or did not intend to hold over the long-term within Funds From Operations in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in current period net income.

- INCOME TAXES
Brookfield Renewable's effective income tax rate was 44.3% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 (2024: (25)%). The effective tax rate is different than the statutory rate primarily due to investment and production tax credits, changes in tax assets not recognized, non-controlling interest income not subject to tax, and rate differentials.
The partnership operates in countries, including Canada, which have enacted new legislation to implement the global minimum top-up tax, effective from January 1, 2024. The partnership/company has applied a temporary mandatory relief from recognizing and disclosing deferred taxes in connection with the global minimum top-up tax and will account for it as a current tax when it is incurred. There is no material current tax impact for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The global minimum top-up tax is not anticipated to have a significant impact on the financial position of the partnership.

Medium term notes
Corporate borrowings are obligations of a finance subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield Renewable Partners ULC (“Canadian Finco”) (Note 21 – Subsidiary public issuers). Canadian Finco may redeem some or all of the borrowings from time to time, pursuant to the terms of the indenture. The balance is payable upon maturity, and interest on corporate borrowings is paid semi-annually. The term notes payable by Canadian Finco are unconditionally guaranteed by Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield Renewable Energy L.P. (“BRELP”) and certain other subsidiaries.
During the quarter, Brookfield Renewable issued C$450 million of Series 19 medium-term notes. The medium-term notes have a fixed interest rate of 4.54% and a maturity date of October 12, 2035. The Series 19 medium-term notes are corporate-level green bonds.
Non-recourse borrowings
Non-recourse borrowings are typically asset-specific, long-term, non-recourse borrowings denominated in the domestic currency of the subsidiary. Non-recourse borrowings in North America and Europe consist of both fixed and floating interest rate debt indexed to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”), the Sterling Overnight Index Average (“SONIA”), the Euro Interbank Offered Rate (“EURIBOR”) and the Canadian Overnight Repo Rate Average (“CORRA”). Brookfield Renewable uses interest rate swap agreements in North America and Europe to minimize its exposure to floating interest rates. Non-recourse borrowings in Brazil consist of floating interest rates of Taxa de Juros de Longo Prazo (“TJLP”), the Brazil National Bank for Economic Development’s long-term interest rate, or Interbank Deposit Certificate rate (“CDI”), plus a margin. Non-recourse borrowings in Colombia consist of both fixed and floating interest rates indexed to Indicador Bancario de Referencia rate (“IBR”), the Banco Central de Colombia short-term interest rate, and Colombian Consumer Price Index (“IPC”), Colombia inflation rate, plus a margin. Non-Recourse borrowings in India consist of both fixed and floating interest indexed to Prime lending rate of lender (“MCLR”). Non-recourse borrowings in China consist of floating interest rates of People's Bank of China (“PBOC”).

General partnership interest in a holding subsidiary held by Brookfield, Participating non-controlling interests – in a holding subsidiary – Redeemable/Exchangeable units held by Brookfield, Class A exchangeable shares of Brookfield Renewable Corporation held by public shareholders and Brookfield Holders and Class A.2 exchangeable shares of Brookfield Renewable Holdings Corporation held by Brookfield Holders.
Brookfield, as the owner of the 1% GP interest in BRELP, is entitled to regular distributions plus an incentive distribution based on the amount by which quarterly distributions exceed specified target levels. As at March 31, 2025, to the extent that LP unit distributions exceed $0.20 per LP unit per quarter, the incentive is 15% of distributions above this threshold. To the extent that quarterly LP unit distributions exceed $0.2253 per LP unit per quarter, the incentive distribution is equal to 25% of distributions above this threshold. Incentive distributions of $37 million were declared during the three months ended March 31, 2025 (2024: $33 million).
Consolidated equity includes Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and the GP interest. The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units and the GP interest are held 100% by Brookfield, the BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares are held 25% by Brookfield Holders, with the remainder held by public shareholders. The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares provide the holder, at its discretion, with the right to redeem these units or shares, respectively, for cash consideration. Since this redemption right is subject to Brookfield Renewable’s right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy the redemption request with LP units of Brookfield Renewable, or in the case of class A.2 exchangeable shares, BEPC exchangeable shares or LP units, at the election of Brookfield, rather than cash, on a one-for-one basis, the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares are classified as equity in accordance with IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation. Refer to Note 20 - Related party transactions for more details.
The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and the GP interest are presented as non-controlling interests since they relate to equity in a subsidiary that is not attributable, directly or indirectly, to Brookfield Renewable. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, exchangeable shareholders of BEPC exchanged 35,313 BEPC exchangeable shares (2024: 2,683 exchangeable shares) for an equivalent number of LP units amounting to less than $1 million (2024: less than $1 million). No Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units or class A.2 exchangeable shares have been redeemed.
The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units issued by BRELP, the BEPC exchangeable shares issued by BEPC and the class A.2 exchangeable shares issued by BRHC have the same economic attributes in all respects to the LP units issued by Brookfield Renewable, except for the redemption rights described above. The Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and the GP interest, excluding incentive distributions, participate in earnings and distributions on a per unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of the LP units of Brookfield Renewable.
As at March 31, 2025, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares on a combined basis and units of GP interest outstanding were 194,487,939 units (December 31, 2024: 194,487,939 units), 179,605,538 shares (December 31, 2024: 179,640,851 shares), and 3,977,260 units (December 31, 2024: 3,977,260 units), respectively.
In December 2024, Brookfield Renewable renewed its normal course issuer bid in connection with its LP units and outstanding BEPC exchangeable shares.

- COMMITMENTS, CONTINGENCIES AND GUARANTEES
Commitments
In the course of its operations, Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries have entered into agreements for the use of water, land and dams. Payment under those agreements varies with the amount of power generated. The various agreements can be renewed and are extendable up to 2089.
In the normal course of business, Brookfield Renewable will enter into capital expenditure commitments which primarily relate to contracted project costs for various growth initiatives. As at March 31, 2025, Brookfield Renewable had $3,108 million (December 31, 2024: $2,923 million) of capital expenditure commitments outstanding of which $1,935 million is payable in 2025, $911 million is payable in 2026, $239 million is payable in 2027 to 2029, and $23 million thereafter.
The following table lists the assets and portfolio of assets that Brookfield Renewable, together with institutional partners have agreed to acquire which are subject to customary closing conditions as at March 31, 2025:
| Region | Technology | Capacity | Consideration | Brookfield Renewable<br>Economic Interest | Expected Close | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| China | Wind | 50 MW development | CNY $58 million ($8 million) | 20% | Q2 2025 | ||||

An integral part of Brookfield Renewable’s strategy is to participate with institutional partners in Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds that target acquisitions that suit Brookfield Renewable’s profile. In the normal course of business, Brookfield Renewable has made commitments to Brookfield-sponsored private equity funds to participate in these target acquisitions in the future, if and when identified. From time to time, in order to facilitate investment activities in a timely and efficient manner, Brookfield Renewable will fund deposits or incur other costs and expenses (including by use of loan facilities to consummate, support, guarantee or issue letters of credit) in respect of an investment that ultimately will be shared with or made entirely by Brookfield sponsored vehicles, consortiums and/or partnerships (including private funds, joint ventures and similar arrangements), Brookfield Renewable, or by co-investors.
Contingencies
Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, arbitrations and actions arising in the normal course of business. While the final outcome of such legal proceedings and actions cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the opinion of management that the resolution of such proceedings and actions will not have a material impact on Brookfield Renewable’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Brookfield Renewable, on behalf of Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries, and the subsidiaries themselves have provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance. The activity on the issued letters of credit by Brookfield Renewable can be found in Note 9 – Borrowings.
Brookfield Renewable, along with institutional partners, has provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance as it relates to interests in the Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, the Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund V, Brookfield Global Transition Fund, Brookfield Global Transition Fund II and The Catalytic Transition Fund. Brookfield Renewable’s subsidiaries have similarly provided letters of credit, which include, but are not limited to, guarantees for debt service reserves, capital reserves, construction completion and performance.
Letters of credit issued by Brookfield Renewable along with institutional partners and its subsidiaries were as at the following dates:
| (MILLIONS) | March 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brookfield Renewable along with institutional partners | $ | 73 | $ | 74 |
| Brookfield Renewable's subsidiaries | 3,749 | 2,718 | ||
| $ | 3,822 | $ | 2,792 |
Guarantees
In the normal course of operations, Brookfield Renewable and its subsidiaries execute agreements that provide for indemnification and guarantees to third-parties of transactions such as business dispositions, capital project purchases, business acquisitions, power marketing activities such as purchase and sale agreements, swap agreements, credit facilities of certain Brookfield private funds and that are also secured by committed capital of our third-party institutional partners, and sales and purchases of assets and services. Brookfield Renewable has also agreed to indemnify its directors and certain of its officers and employees. The nature of substantially all of the indemnification undertakings prevents Brookfield Renewable from making a reasonable estimate of the maximum potential amount that Brookfield Renewable could be required to pay third parties as the agreements do not always specify a maximum amount and the amounts are dependent upon the outcome of future contingent events, the nature and likelihood of which cannot be determined at this time. Historically, neither Brookfield Renewable nor its subsidiaries have made material payments under such indemnification agreements.

Brookfield Renewable from time to time may enter into agreements with Brookfield and its subsidiaries to transfer income tax credits generated by renewable energy projects. These agreements are typically entered into at market rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Brookfield Renewable transferred $19 million (2024: nil) of income tax credits to Brookfield and its subsidiaries.
During the first quarter of 2025, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the sale of a 52 MW utility-scale solar asset in Jamaica owned by Neoen to an associate of Brookfield Renewable for proceeds of approximately $19 million (approximately $2 million net to Brookfield Renewable). The asset was subject to a pre-existing sale and purchase agreement negotiated at arms’ length that was entered into prior to Brookfield Renewable acquiring Neoen and therefore no gain or loss was recorded as a result of the transaction.

Operations
Funds From Operations of $315 million or $0.48 on a per Unit basis is higher than the prior year driven by:
•Contributions from growth, both from acquisitions and over 7,000 MW of new development projects reaching commercial operation in the past 12 months;
•Stable and growing contracted, inflation linked cash flows from our global operating fleet; and
•Accretive capital recycling activities
After deducting non-cash depreciation, foreign exchange and derivative gains or losses and other, net loss attributable to Unitholders for the three months ended March 31, 2025 was $197 million.
Our large global operating fleet which is approximately 90% contracted, with approximately 70% of revenues indexed to inflation is largely unimpacted from the recently announced tariffs. We will continue to monitor and assess potential impacts and leverage our large global supply chain and strong relationships with domestic U.S. suppliers to mitigate future impacts.
We continued to be a global partner of choice to procure clean power by:
•Advancing commercial priorities, including securing contracts to deliver an incremental ~4,500 GWh per year of generation
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our significant access to scale capital and strong investment grade balance sheet with BBB+ credit rating continues to differentiate our franchise and support our growth initiatives
•Our financial position remains strong with $4.5 billion of available liquidity at the end of the quarter
•In March, we opportunistically issued C$450 million of 10-year notes at 4.54%. We achieved our lowest coupon in the past 5 years and our 155-bps spread matched our tightest new issue spread in almost 20 years
Executed asset recycling initiatives and advanced our robust pipeline, closing or reaching agreements to sell ~$900 million of assets and businesses (~$230 million net to Brookfield Renewable) in the quarter, including:
•Closed the first phase of our India portfolio sale and the sale of our interest in a joint venture with over 2 GW of pumped storage capacity in the U.K., generating almost three times our invested capital and a ~20% return; and
•Following our sale of a 50% interest in an 845 MW portfolio of wind assets in the U.S. in the fourth quarter of 2024, we agreed to sell an additional 25% on the same terms, generating almost two times our invested capital and proceeds of ~$200 million (~$50 million net to Brookfield Renewable)
Growth and Development
Together with our institutional partners, we have deployed or committed to deploy ~$4.6 billion (~$500 million net to Brookfield Renewable) across multiple investments, adding leading platforms and assets in the U.S. and globally, including:
•Agreed to acquire a fully integrated onshore renewable power operator and developer in the U.S. with 3.9 GW of operating and under construction assets, a 1 GW construction ready portfolio and an over 30 GW development pipeline, focused predominantly on utility-scale solar and battery storage systems; and
•Successfully acquired the remaining outstanding shares of Neoen, resulting in our 100% ownership of the business (expected 8%, net to Brookfield Renewable). The privatization and close of the acquisition further demonstrates our ability to execute scale acquisitions and the opportunity in the present market for investors with access to capital. We expect to drive value generation through the acceleration of Neoen’s development activities and via the implementation of an asset rotation program
We continue to accelerate our development activities
•We delivered ~800 MW of capacity during the quarter and expect to bring on ~8,000 MW of new renewable capacity this year

◦Our development projects are well protected against changes in input costs as a result of the implementation of new tariffs as most of our projects have fixed priced engineering, procurement and construction (“EPC”) contracts that have limited exposure to price increases. Where we do retain price exposure, we have also taken actions to help limit the impact on our returns by integrating clauses in our power purchase agreement (“PPA”) contracts to enable price adjustments. These fixed price EPC contracts and PPA adjustment clauses help protect against changes in input costs impacting our currently under construction and near-term development pipeline; and we will continue to execute our development with this approach going forward.
◦Further supporting our development in light of recently announced tariffs, we have a diverse global supply chain that supports our U.S. and worldwide development and have proactively increased consumption of domestic goods in the U.S. through the signing of framework agreements with original equipment manufacturers to support the expansion of domestic suppliers.
We have been active in repurchasing our units at current trading levels, as we see this as an accretive use of capital. Year-to-date we have bought back approximately $35 million of our own units, while ensuring we have substantial liquidity to take advantage of the robust growth opportunities we are seeing today.

Variance Analysis For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2025
Revenues totaling $1,580 million represents an increase of $88 million over the same period in the prior year due to our stable and growing contracted, inflation-linked cash flows from our global operating fleet, successful commissioning of new capacity and recently closed investments. Recently acquired and commissioned facilities that we consolidate contributed 3,613 GWh of generation and $239 million to revenues, which was partly offset by our recently completed asset sales that reduced generation by 495 GWh and revenues by $61 million. On a same store, constant currency basis, revenue decreased by $31 million as the benefits from inflation escalation on our contracted generation in Canada, Brazil and Colombia, strong pricing on recent recontracting initiatives at our hydroelectric assets and higher resources at our wind portfolio and South American hydroelectric assets were offset by lower resources at our North American hydroelectric assets, which benefited from unseasonably mild conditions in the prior year that pulled hydrology forward and resulted in above LTA generation.
The strengthening of the U.S. dollar relative to the same period in the prior year across most currencies decreased revenues by $59 million, which was partly offset by a $39 million favorable foreign exchange impact on our direct operating costs and interest expense for the quarter.
Direct operating costs totaling $675 million represents an increase of $41 million over the same period in the prior year primarily due to additional costs from our recently acquired and commissioned facilities, which were partially offset by our recently completed asset sales and the above noted strengthening of the U.S. dollar.
Management service costs totaling $49 million represents an increase of $4 million over the same period in the prior year.
Interest expense totaling $609 million represents an increase of $133 million over the same period in the prior year due primarily to recent acquisitions, including temporary bridge funding associated with the acquisition of Neoen that is attributed to our institutional partners and financing initiatives to fund development activities, partially offset by the above noted strengthening of the U.S. dollar.
Depreciation expense totaling $583 million represents an increase of $81 million over the same period in the prior year due to the growth of our business.
Net loss totaling $108 million represents a decrease of $38 million over the prior year primarily due to the above noted items and stamp duties levied upon reaching prescribed ownership thresholds in certain jurisdictions Neoen operates that were factored into our underwriting, partly offset by a gain on sale of our interest in a pumped storage business in the U.K.

| COP | 4,193 | 4,409 |
All values are in US Dollars.
Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment totaled $73.7 billion as at March 31, 2025 compared to $73.5 billion as at December 31, 2024, representing an increase of $0.2 billion. Our continued investments in the development of power generating assets increased property, plant and equipment by $1.8 billion, and the weakening of the U.S. dollar versus most currencies increased property, plant and equipment by $1.2 billion. These increases were partly offset by assets reclassified to held for sale that decreased property, plant and equipment by $2.2 billion and depreciation expense that decreased property, plant and equipment by $0.6 billion.
Assets held for sale and Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale
Assets held for sale and Liabilities directly associated with assets held for sale totaled $3,084 million and $1,705 million, respectively, as at March 31, 2025 and are comprised of an 845 MW portfolio of wind assets in the U.S., and a 638 MW portfolio of solar assets in India. Assets held for sale also include a 650 MW portfolio of wind, solar and battery assets in Australia that were classified as held for sale upon the acquisition of Neoen.

Brookfield Renewable has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield, whereby Brookfield Renewable gained control of the entities that own certain renewable power generating facilities. Brookfield Renewable has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of the Colombian business. The voting agreements provide Brookfield Renewable the authority to direct the election of the Boards of Directors of the relevant entities, among other things, and therefore provide Brookfield Renewable with control. Accordingly, Brookfield Renewable consolidates the accounts of these entities.
Brookfield Renewable participates with institutional partners in Brookfield Americas Infrastructure Fund, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund III, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund IV, Brookfield Infrastructure Fund V, Brookfield Infrastructure Income Fund, Brookfield Global Transition Fund I, Brookfield Global Transition Fund II, Brookfield Infrastructure Debt Fund, and the Catalytic Transition Fund (“Private Funds”), each of which is a Brookfield sponsored fund, and in connection therewith, Brookfield Renewable, together with our institutional partners, has access to financing using the Private Funds’ credit facilities.
From time to time, in order to facilitate investment activities in a timely and efficient manner, Brookfield Renewable will fund deposits or incur other costs and expenses (including by use of loan facilities to consummate, support, guarantee or issue letters of credit) in respect of an investment that ultimately will be shared with or made entirely by Brookfield sponsored vehicles, consortiums and/or partnerships (including private funds, joint ventures and similar arrangements), Brookfield Renewable, or by co-investors.
Brookfield Corporation has provided a $400 million committed unsecured revolving credit facility maturing in December 2029 and the draws bear interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate plus a margin. During the current period, there were no draws on the committed unsecured revolving credit facility provided by Brookfield Corporation.
Brookfield Corporation may from time to time place funds on deposit with Brookfield Renewable, which are repayable on demand including any interest accrued. There were nil funds placed on deposit with Brookfield Renewable as at March 31, 2025 (December 31, 2024: nil). The interest expense on the Brookfield Corporation revolving credit facility and deposit for the three months ended March 31, 2025 totaled nil (2024: nil).
Brookfield Renewable from time to time may enter into agreements with Brookfield and its subsidiaries to transfer income tax credits generated by renewable energy projects. These agreements are typically entered into at market rates. During the three months ended March 31, 2025, Brookfield Renewable transferred $19 million (2024: nil) of income tax credits to Brookfield and its subsidiaries.
During the first quarter of 2025, Brookfield Renewable, together with its institutional partners, completed the sale of a 52 MW utility-scale solar asset in Jamaica owned by Neoen to an associate of Brookfield Renewable for proceeds of approximately $19 million (approximately $2 million net to Brookfield Renewable). The asset was subject to a pre-existing sale and purchase agreement negotiated at arms’ length that was entered into prior to Brookfield Renewable acquiring Neoen and therefore no gain or loss was recorded as a result of the transaction.
In addition, our company has executed, amended, or terminated other agreements with Brookfield that are described in Note 29 - Related party transactions in Brookfield Renewable’s December 31, 2024 audited consolidated financial statements.

North America
Funds From Operations at our North American business was $103 million versus $137 million in the prior year as the benefit from higher average revenue per MWh due to recontracting initiatives and inflation indexation on our contacted generation was offset by lower resources compared to the prior year. Last year benefited from unseasonably mild conditions that pulled hydrology inflows forward, resulting in above LTA generation (12%) and increased FFO by $39 million.
Brazil
Funds From Operations at our Brazilian business was $30 million versus $36 million in the prior year as the benefit of higher hydrology and inflation indexation on our contracted generation was offset by lower pricing realized on our uncontracted generation and the weakening of the Brazilian real versus the U.S. dollar.
Colombia
Funds From Operations at our Colombian business was $30 million versus $20 million in the prior year as the benefits from stronger hydrology and higher average revenue per MWh on contracted generation and inflation indexation was partially offset by the weakening of the Colombian peso versus the U.S. dollar and higher realized pricing on our uncontracted generation in the prior year driven by weak system-wide hydrology.

CONTRACT PROFILE
We operate our power business on a largely contracted basis to provide a high degree of predictability in Funds From Operations. We maintain a long-term view that electricity prices and the demand for electricity will rise due to electrification of the global economy including segments like industrial and transportation as well as from increasing digitalization. We also expect demand for clean power to grow as renewables are the cheapest form of bulk electricity generation, on the increasing level of acceptance around climate change and the legislated requirements in some areas to diversify away from fossil fuel based generation.
In Brazil and Colombia, we also expect power prices will continue to be supported by the need to build new supply over the medium-to-long term to serve growing demand and therefore we would expect to capture rising prices as we re-contract our power over the medium-term.
The following table sets out our power contracts over the next five years for generation output in North America, Brazil, Europe and certain other countries, assuming long-term average on a proportionate basis. The table excludes Brazil and Colombia hydroelectric portfolios, where we would expect the energy associated with maturing contracts to be re-contracted in the normal course given the construct of the respective power markets. In these countries we currently have a contracted profile of approximately 80% and 85%, respectively, of the long-term average and we would expect to maintain this going forward. Overall, our power portfolio has a weighted-average remaining contract duration of 14 years on a proportionate basis.

Weighted-average remaining contract durations on a proportionate basis are 14 years in North America, 18 years in Europe, 9 years in Brazil, 5 years in Colombia, and 14 years across our remaining jurisdictions.
In North America, over the next five years, a number of contracts will expire at our hydroelectric facilities. Based on current market prices for energy and ancillary products, we expect a net positive impact to cash flows.
In our Colombian portfolio, we continue to focus on securing long-term contracts while maintaining a certain percentage of uncontracted generation to mitigate hydrology risk.
The majority of Brookfield Renewable’s long-term power purchase agreements within our North American and European businesses are with investment-grade rated or creditworthy counterparties. The economic exposure of our contracted generation on a proportionate basis is distributed as follows: power authorities (34%), distribution companies (23%), commercial & industrial users (32%) and Brookfield (11%).

CAPITALIZATION
A key element of our financing strategy is to raise the majority of our debt in the form of asset-specific, non-recourse borrowings at our subsidiaries on an investment-grade basis with no maintenance covenants. Substantially all of our debt is either investment grade rated or sized to investment grade and approximately 90% of debt is project level.

We maintain a strong, investment grade balance sheet characterized by a conservative capital structure, access to multiple funding levers including a focus on capital recycling on an opportunistic basis, and diverse sources of capital. Principal sources of liquidity are cash flows from operations, our credit facilities, up-financings on non-recourse borrowings and proceeds from the issuance of various securities through public markets.

We remain focused on refinancing near-term facilities on acceptable terms and maintaining a manageable maturity ladder. We do not anticipate material issues in refinancing our borrowings through 2029 on acceptable terms and will do so opportunistically based on the prevailing interest rate environment.
CAPITAL EXPENDITURES
We fund growth capital expenditures with cash flow generated from operations, supplemented by non-recourse debt sized to investment grade coverage and covenant thresholds. This is designed to ensure that our investments have stable capital structures supported by a substantial level of equity and that cash flows at the asset level can be remitted freely to our company. This strategy also underpins our investment grade profile.
To fund large scale development projects and acquisitions, we will evaluate a variety of capital sources including proceeds from selling mature businesses, in addition to raising money in the capital markets through equity, debt and preferred share issuances. Furthermore, we have $2.5 billion of committed revolving credit facilities available for investments and acquisitions, as well as funding the equity component of organic growth initiatives. The facilities are intended, and have historically been used, as a bridge to a long-term financing strategy rather than a permanent source of capital.

CRITICAL ESTIMATES AND CRITICAL JUDGMENTS IN APPLYING ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with IFRS, which require the use of estimates and judgments in reporting assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and contingencies. In the judgment of management, none of the estimates outlined in Note 1 – Basis of preparation and material accounting policy information in our audited consolidated financial statements are considered critical accounting estimates as defined in Canadian National Instrument 51-102 – Continuous Disclosure Obligations with the exception of the estimates related to the valuation of property, plant and equipment, financial instruments, deferred income tax liabilities, decommissioning liabilities and impairment of goodwill. These assumptions include estimates of future electricity prices, discount rates, expected long-term average generation, inflation rates, terminal year, the amount and timing of operating and capital costs and the income tax rates of future income tax provisions. Estimates also include determination of accruals, provisions, purchase price allocations, useful lives, asset valuations, asset impairment testing and those relevant to the defined benefit pension and non-pension benefit plans. Estimates are based on historical experience, current trends and various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances.
In making estimates, management relies on external information and observable conditions where possible, supplemented by internal analysis, as required. These estimates have been applied in a manner consistent with that in the prior year and there are no known trends, commitments, events or uncertainties that we believe will materially affect the methodology or assumptions utilized in this report. These estimates are impacted by, among other things, future power prices, movements in interest rates, foreign exchange volatility and other factors, some of which are highly uncertain, as described in the “Risk Factors” section. The interrelated nature of these factors prevents us from quantifying the overall impact of these movements on Brookfield Renewable’s financial statements in a meaningful way. These sources of estimation uncertainty relate in varying degrees to substantially all asset and liability account balances. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES
IFRS 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements (“IFRS 18”)
In April 2024, the IASB issued IFRS 18, Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements. IFRS 18 is effective for periods beginning on or after January 1, 2027, with early adoption permitted. IFRS 18 is expected to improve the quality of financial reporting by requiring defined subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, requiring disclosure about management-defined performance measures, and adding new principles for aggregation and disaggregation of information. Brookfield Renewable has not yet determined the impact of this standard on its disclosures.
Amendments to IFRS 9 - Financial Instruments (“IFRS 9”) and IFRS 7 - Financial Instruments: Disclosures (“IFRS 7”) - Contracts Referencing Nature-Dependent Electricity
The amendments apply only to contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity and clarify the application of the “own-use” requirements, the use of hedge accounting, and adds new disclosure requirements around the effect of these contracts on the partnership’s financial performance and cash flows. The amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 apply to annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2026. Brookfield Renewable is currently assessing the impacts of these amendments.
There are currently no other future changes to IFRS with a potential material impact on Brookfield Renewable.
INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING
No changes were made in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2025, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
Subsequent to the quarter, having met the required statutory threshold for ownership, Brookfield Renewable completed a squeeze-out transaction to acquire the remaining outstanding 2% of Neoen shares and the outstanding convertible bonds resulting in the delisting of Neoen on the Euronext Paris.

Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable repurchased and cancelled 306,300 LP units on the Toronto Stock Exchange at a total cost of approximately $7 million.
Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable declared the fixed quarterly distributions on the Class A Preference Shares, Series 1 of BRP Equity during the five years commencing May 1, 2025 will be paid at an annual rate of 5.203%.
Subsequent to the quarter, Brookfield Renewable declared the floating quarterly distributions on the Class A Preference Shares, Series 2 of BRP Equity during the three months commencing May 1, 2025 will be paid at an annualized rate of 5.76%.
Subsequent to the quarter, 1,619 Class A Preference Shares, Series 1 of BRP Equity were converted, on a one-for-one basis, into Class A Preference Shares, Series 2 of BRP Equity.
Subsequent to the quarter, 1,524,396 Class A Preference Shares, Series 2 of BRP Equity were converted, on a one-for-one basis, into Class A Preference Shares, Series 2 of BRP Equity.

PRESENTATION TO PUBLIC STAKEHOLDERS
Equity
Brookfield Renewable’s consolidated equity interests include (i) non-voting publicly traded LP units, held by public unitholders and Brookfield, (ii) BEPC exchangeable shares, held by public shareholders and Brookfield Holders, (iii) class A.2 exchangeable shares, held by Brookfield, (iv) Redeemable/Exchangeable Limited partnership units in BRELP, a holding subsidiary of Brookfield Renewable, held by Brookfield, and (v) the GP interest in BRELP, held by Brookfield.
The LP units, the BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units have the same economic attributes in all respects, except that the BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares provide the holder, and the Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units provide Brookfield, the right to request that all or a portion of such shares or units be redeemed for cash consideration. Brookfield Renewable, however, has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy any such redemption request related to Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units and BEPC exchangeable shares with LP units, rather than cash, on a one-for-one basis. Similarly, Brookfield Renewable has the right, at its sole discretion, to satisfy any such redemption request related to class A.2 exchangeable shares with BEPC exchangeable shares or LP units, at the election of Brookfield, rather than cash, on a on-for-one basis. The public holders of BEPC exchangeable shares, and Brookfield Holders, as holder of BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, participates in earnings and distributions on a per unit basis equivalent to the per unit participation of the LP units. Because Brookfield Renewable, at its sole discretion, has the right to settle any redemption request in respect of BEPC exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units with LP units and any redemption request in respect of class A.2 exchangeable shares with BEPC exchangeable shares or LP units, at the election of Brookfield, the BEPC exchangeable shares, class A.2 exchangeable shares and Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units are classified under equity, and not as a liability.
Given the exchange feature referenced above, we are presenting LP units, BEPC exchangeable shares and class A.2 exchangeable shares, Redeemable/Exchangeable partnership units, and GP Interest as separate components of consolidated equity. This presentation does not impact the total income (loss), per unit or share information, or total consolidated equity.
Actual and Long-term Average Generation
For assets acquired, disposed or reaching commercial operation during the year, reported generation is calculated from the acquisition, disposition or commercial operation date and is not annualized. Generation on a same store basis refers to the generation of assets that were owned during both periods presented. As it relates to Colombia only, generation includes both hydroelectric and cogeneration facilities. Distributed energy & sustainable solutions includes generation from our distributed generation, pumped storage, North America cogeneration and Brazil biomass assets.
North America hydroelectric long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation based on historical inflow data performed over a period of typically 30 years. Colombia hydroelectric long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation based on historical inflow data performed over a period of typically 20 years. For substantially all of our hydroelectric assets in Brazil the long-term average is based on the reference amount of electricity allocated to our facilities under the market framework which levelizes generation risk across producers. Wind long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of simulated historical wind speed data performed over a period of typically 10 years. Utility-scale solar long-term average is the expected average level of generation based on the results of a simulation using historical irradiance levels in the locations of our projects from the last 14 to 20 years combined with actual generation data during the operational period.
We compare actual generation levels against the long-term average to highlight the impact of an important factor that affects the variability of our business results. In the short-term, we recognize that hydrology, wind and irradiance conditions will vary from one period to the next; over time however, we expect our facilities will continue to produce in line with their long-term averages, which have proven to be reliable indicators of performance.
Our risk of a generation shortfall in Brazil continues to be minimized by participation in the MRE administered by the government of Brazil. This program mitigates hydrology risk by assuring that all participants receive, at any particular point in time, an assured energy amount, irrespective of the actual volume of energy generated. The program reallocates
| Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | March 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Page 31 |
energy, transferring surplus energy from those who generated an excess to those who generate less than their assured energy, up to the total generation within the pool. Periodically, low precipitation across the entire country’s system could result in a temporary reduction of generation available for sale. During these periods, we expect that a higher proportion of thermal generation would be needed to balance supply and demand in the country, potentially leading to higher overall spot market prices.
Generation from our pumped storage and cogeneration facilities in North America is highly dependent on market price conditions rather than the generating capacity of the facilities. Our pumped storage facility in Europe generates on a dispatchable basis when required by our contracts for ancillary services. Generation from our biomass facilities in Brazil is dependent on the amount of sugar cane harvested in a given year. For these reasons, we do not consider a long-term average for these facilities.
Voting Agreements with Affiliates
Brookfield Renewable has entered into voting agreements with Brookfield, whereby Brookfield Renewable gained control or have significant influence over the entities that own certain renewable power and sustainable solution investments. Brookfield Renewable has also entered into a voting agreement with its consortium partners in respect of the Colombian business. The voting agreements provide Brookfield Renewable the authority to direct the election of the Boards of Directors of the relevant entities, among other things, and therefore provide Brookfield Renewable with control. Accordingly, Brookfield Renewable consolidates the accounts of these entities.
For entities previously controlled by Brookfield Corporation, the voting agreements entered into do not represent business combinations in accordance with IFRS 3, as all combining businesses are ultimately controlled by Brookfield Corporation both before and after the transactions were completed. Brookfield Renewable accounts for these transactions involving entities under common control in a manner similar to a pooling of interest, which requires the presentation of pre-voting agreement financial information as if the transactions had always been in place. Refer to Note 1(s)(ii) – Critical judgments in applying accounting policies – Common control transactions in our December 31, 2024 audited consolidated financial statements for our policy on accounting for transactions under common control.
PERFORMANCE MEASUREMENT
Segment Information
Our operations are segmented by – 1) hydroelectric, 2) wind, 3) utility-scale solar, 4) distributed energy and storage (distributed generation, pumped storage and battery energy storage systems), 5) sustainable solutions (agricultural renewable natural gas, carbon capture and storage, recycling, cogeneration, biomass, nuclear services, eFuels, and power transformation), and 6) corporate - with hydroelectric further segmented by geography (i.e., North America, Colombia, and Brazil). This best reflects the way in which the CODM reviews results of our company.
We report our results in accordance with these segments and present prior period segmented information in a consistent manner. See Note 6 – Segmented information in our unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
One of our primary business objectives is to generate stable and growing cash flows while minimizing risk for the benefit of all stakeholders. We monitor our performance in this regard through three key metrics – i) Net Income (Loss), ii) Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (“Adjusted EBITDA”), and iii) Funds From Operations.
It is important to highlight that Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by IFRS and therefore are unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies and have limitations as analytical tools. We provide additional information below on how we determine Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations. We also provide reconciliations to Net income (loss). See “Part 4 – Financial Performance Review on Proportionate Information – Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures” and “Part 6 – Selected Quarterly Information – Reconciliation of Non-IFRS measures”.

Proportionate Information
Reporting to the CODM on the measures utilized to assess performance and allocate resources has been provided on a proportionate basis. Information on a proportionate basis reflects Brookfield Renewable’s share from facilities which it accounts for using consolidation and the equity method, whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or exercises significant influence or joint control over the investment, respectively. Proportionate information provides a Unitholder perspective that the CODM considers important when performing internal analyses and making strategic and operating decisions. The CODM also believes that providing proportionate information helps investors understand the impacts of decisions made by management and financial results that can be allocated to Unitholders.
Proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Tables reconciling IFRS data with data presented on a proportionate basis have been disclosed. Segment revenues, other income, direct operating costs, interest expense, current income taxes, and other are items that will differ from results presented in accordance with IFRS as these items (1) include Brookfield Renewable’s proportionate share of earnings (loss) from equity-accounted investments attributable to each of the above-noted items, (2) exclude the proportionate share of earnings (loss) of consolidated investments not held by us apportioned to each of the above-noted items, and (3) other income includes but is not limited to our proportionate share of settled foreign currency and other hedges, income earned on financial assets and structured investments in sustainable solutions, monetization of tax attributes at certain development projects and realized disposition gains on non-core assets and on recently developed assets that we have monetized to reflect the economic value created from our development activities as we design, build and commercialize new renewable energy capacity and sell these assets to lower cost of capital buyers which may not otherwise be reflected in our consolidated statements of income.
The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
•The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and
•Other companies may calculate proportionate results differently than we do.
Because of these limitations, our proportionate financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under IFRS.
Brookfield Renewable does not control those entities that have not been consolidated and as such, have been presented as equity-accounted investments in its financial statements. The presentation of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses do not represent Brookfield Renewable’s legal claim to such items, and the removal of financial statement amounts that are attributable to non-controlling interests does not extinguish Brookfield Renewable’s legal claims or exposures to such items.
Unless the context indicates or requires otherwise, information with respect to the megawatts ("MW") attributable to Brookfield Renewable’s facilities, including development assets, is presented on a consolidated basis, including with respect to facilities whereby Brookfield Renewable either controls or jointly controls the applicable facility.
Net Income (Loss)
Net income (loss) is calculated in accordance with IFRS.
Net income (loss) is an important measure of profitability, in particular because it has a standardized meaning under IFRS. The presentation of net income (loss) on an IFRS basis for our business will often lead to the recognition of a loss even though the underlying cash flows generated by the assets are supported by strong margins and stable, long-term power purchase agreements. The primary reason for this is that accounting rules require us to recognize a significantly higher level of depreciation for our assets than we are required to reinvest in the business as sustaining capital expenditures.
Adjusted EBITDA
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze the operating performance of companies.
Brookfield Renewable uses Adjusted EBITDA to assess the performance of its operations before the effects of interest expense, income taxes, depreciation, management service costs, non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash income or loss from equity-accounted investments, distributions to preferred shareholders, preferred limited partnership unit holders, perpetual subordinated noteholders and other typical non-recurring items. Brookfield Renewable adjusts for these factors as they may be non-cash, unusual in nature and/or are not factors used by
| Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis | March 31, 2025 |
|---|---|---|
| Page 33 |
management for evaluating operating performance. Brookfield Renewable includes other income within Adjusted EBITDA in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in the current period.
Brookfield Renewable believes that presentation of this measure will enhance an investor’s ability to evaluate its financial and operating performance on an allocable basis.
Funds From Operations
Funds From Operations is a non-IFRS measure used by investors to analyze net earnings from operations without the effects of certain volatile items that generally have no current financial impact or items not directly related to the performance of Brookfield Renewable.
Brookfield Renewable uses Funds From Operations to assess the performance of Brookfield Renewable before the effects of certain cash items (e.g. acquisition costs and other typical non-recurring cash items) and certain non-cash items (e.g. deferred income taxes, depreciation, non-cash portion of non-controlling interests, unrealized gain or loss on financial instruments, non-cash gain or loss from equity-accounted investments, and other non-cash items) as these are not reflective of the performance of the underlying business. Brookfield Renewable includes other income in order to provide additional insight regarding the performance of investments on a cumulative realized basis, including any unrealized fair value adjustments that were recorded in equity and not otherwise reflected in the current period. In the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of Brookfield Renewable, the revaluation approach is used in accordance with IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment, whereby depreciation is determined based on a revalued amount, thereby reducing comparability with peers who do not report under IFRS as issued by the IASB or who do not employ the revaluation approach to measuring property, plant and equipment. Management adds back deferred income taxes on the basis that they do not believe this item reflects the present value of the actual tax obligations that they expect Brookfield Renewable to incur over the long-term investment horizon of Brookfield Renewable.
Brookfield Renewable believes that analysis and presentation of Funds From Operations on this basis will enhance an investor’s understanding of the performance of Brookfield Renewable. Funds From Operations is not a substitute measure of performance for earnings per share and does not represent amounts available for distribution.
Funds From Operations is not a generally accepted accounting measure under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Funds From Operations used by other entities, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada (“REALPAC”) and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”). Furthermore, this measure is not used by the CODM to assess Brookfield Renewable’s liquidity.
Proportionate Debt
Proportionate debt is presented based on the proportionate share of borrowings obligations relating to the investments of Brookfield Renewable in various portfolio businesses. The proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, presented in accordance with IFRS. Proportionate debt measures are provided because management believes it assists investors and analysts in estimating the overall performance and understanding the leverage pertaining specifically to Brookfield’s share of its invested capital in a given investment. When used in conjunction with Proportionate Adjusted EBITDA, proportionate debt is expected to provide useful information as to how Brookfield Renewable has financed its businesses at the asset-level. Management believes that the proportionate presentation, when read in conjunction with Brookfield Renewable’s reported results under IFRS, including consolidated debt, provides a more meaningful assessment of how the operations of Brookfield Renewable are performing and capital is being managed. The presentation of proportionate results has limitations as an analytical tool, including the following:
•Proportionate debt amounts do not represent the consolidated obligation for debt underlying a consolidated investment. If an individual project does not generate sufficient cash flows to service the entire amount of its debt payments, management may determine, in their discretion, to pay the shortfall through an equity injection to avoid defaulting on the obligation. Such a shortfall may not be apparent from or may not equal the difference between aggregate Proportionate Adjusted EBITDA for all of the portfolio investments of Brookfield Renewable and aggregate proportionate debt for all of the portfolio investments of Brookfield Renewable; and
•Other companies may calculate proportionate debt differently.
Because of these limitations, the proportionate financial information of Brookfield Renewable should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for the financial statements of Brookfield Renewable as reported under IFRS.

CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING USE OF NON-IFRS MEASURES
This report contains references to Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit which are not generally accepted accounting measures standardized under IFRS and therefore may differ from definitions of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit used by other entities. In particular, our definition of Funds From Operations may differ from the definition of funds from operations used by other organizations, as well as the definition of funds from operations used by the Real Property Association of Canada and the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (“NAREIT”), in part because the NAREIT definition is based on U.S. GAAP, as opposed to IFRS. We believe that Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit are useful supplemental measures that may assist investors in assessing our financial performance. None of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations or Funds From Operations 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. These non-IFRS measures reflect how we manage our business and, in our opinion, enable the investors and other readers to better understand our business.
Reconciliations of each of Adjusted EBITDA, Funds From Operations and Funds From Operations per Unit to net income (loss) are presented in our Management’s Discussion and Analysis. We have also provided a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA and Funds From Operations to net income in Note 6 – Segmented information in the unaudited interim consolidated financial statements.
