Brookfield Asset Management is set to become the largest owner and operator of renewable energy in Australia with a massive $10 billion bid to acquire France’s Neoen. Neoen, known for its Victorian Big Battery near Geelong, has a robust project pipeline of nearly 10 gigawatts expected to come online over the next decade. This acquisition, backed by Neoen's board, highlights the growing demand for sustainable power solutions. Despite challenges in the renewable sector, Brookfield remains undeterred, viewing these as mere speed bumps in the 20-year megatrend towards low-cost clean energy. Recent successes, such as the deal to supply 10.5 gigawatts of renewables to Microsoft, showcase this unwavering commitment. Neoen CEO Xavier Barbaro expressed enthusiasm about partnering with Brookfield to propel Neoen’s growth further. With regulatory approvals pending, this acquisition marks a significant step forward in Brookfield's renewable energy strategy. Brookfield's acquisition of Neoen is a milestone for renewable energy in Australia and beyond. It demonstrates a robust commitment to sustainable development and positions Brookfield as a key player in the global shift towards cleaner, greener energy. #renewableenergy #sustainability #cleanenergy #brookfield #neoen #greenfuture #australia #evoegy
