Brookfield Proposes a Big Renewable Energy Merger
Brookfield Asset Management (NYSE: BAM) already controls one of the largest portfolios of renewable energy projects in the world, but it's making moves to consolidate that power. On Monday, Brookfield Renewable Partners (NYSE: BEP) made a $4 billion offer for TerraForm Power (NASDAQ: TERP).
The offer to buy out TerraForm Power isn't binding and may not go through as planned, but it makes sense for both sides right now. And it would lead to a massive renewable energy company with 22 gigawatts (GW) of power-generating capacity around the world. Here's what you need to know about the deal.
