BEP Reports Record Q3 Funds Despite Drier Conditions in Colombia
What happened
Brookfield Renewable Partners reported record third-quarter funds from operations, which rose 15% to $346 million, supported by newly commissioned projects and asset sales. The company noted that drier conditions associated with El Niño affected its Colombian business, Isagen, impacting generation output. Despite this, the company expects earnings growth in 2026 to meet or exceed its long-term targets.
