it is an integral part of Brookfield’s (and our) strategy to pursue the acquisition or development of renewable power assets through consortium arrangements with institutional investors, strategic partners or financial sponsors and to form partnerships (including private funds, joint ventures and similar arrangements) to pursue such acquisitions on a specialized or global basis. Although Brookfield has agreed with us that it will not enter into any such arrangements that are suitable for us without giving us an opportunity to participate in them, there is no minimum level of participation to which we will be entitled;
|
•
|
the same professionals within Brookfield’s organization that are involved in sourcing and executing acquisitions that are suitable for us are responsible for sourcing and executing opportunities for the vehicles, consortiums and partnerships referred to above, as well as having other responsibilities within Brookfield’s broader asset management business. Limits on the availability of such individuals will likewise result in a limitation on the availability of acquisition opportunities for us. As well, acquisitions made by other Brookfield sponsored vehicles, partnerships or consortiums may result in the application of additional statutory or regulatory requirements to our business, which could limit the availability of additional acquisition opportunities for us;
|
•
|
Brookfield will only recommend acquisition opportunities that it believes are suitable and appropriate for us. Our focus is on assets where we believe that our operations-oriented approach can be deployed to create value. Accordingly, opportunities where Brookfield cannot play an active role in influencing the underlying operating company or managing the underlying assets may not be suitable for us, even though they may be attractive from a purely financial perspective. Legal, regulatory, tax and other commercial considerations will likewise be an important consideration in determining whether an opportunity is suitable and appropriate for us and could limit our ability to participate in these certain investments; and
|
•
|
in addition to structural limitations, the question of whether a particular acquisition is suitable and/or appropriate is highly subjective and is dependent on a number of portfolio construction and management factors including an assessment by Brookfield of our liquidity position, the expected risk-return profile of the opportunity, its fit with the balance of our then current investments and related operations, other opportunities that we may be pursuing or otherwise considering at the relevant time, our interest in preserving capital in order to secure other opportunities and/or to meet other obligations and other factors. If Brookfield determines that an opportunity is not suitable or appropriate for us, it may still pursue such opportunity on its own behalf or on behalf of a Brookfield sponsored vehicle, partnership or consortium such as Brookfield Property Partners L.P., Brookfield Infrastructure Partners L.P., Brookfield Business Partners L.P. and one or more Brookfield-sponsored private funds or other investment vehicles or programs.

Privatizations. We believe that governments will continue to engage the private sector in providing funding solutions for infrastructure requirements which could increasingly involve sales of existing assets. Our proven operating track record, global scale and ability to partner with local pension funds and institutional investors position us well to participate in such opportunities.

Asset monetization and divestitures. Significant renewable power generation capacity is owned by industrial companies, smaller independent power producers, private equity investors and foreign companies. These types of owners sell renewable power assets either because power generation is not their core business, their investment horizons are shorter, or a particular market ceases to be strategic. In

Development cycle divestitures. Renewable power assets are often developed or built by smaller developers or construction companies who, in our experience, seek to capture development-stage returns or who have insufficient capital to develop projects. Because of our extensive project development expertise we are well positioned to evaluate these sorts of assets and therefore have been, and believe we will continue to be, a logical acquirer of, or partner in, such projects.

Acquisitions of assets within core markets. We expect to continue our growth in North America, Colombia, Brazil, Europe and Asia, where our existing renewable power businesses allows us to efficiently integrate operating or development-stage renewable power assets and capture economies of scale. Within each of these operating businesses, our growth strategy is focused on the higher-value and higher-growth regional electricity markets.
|
•
|
Diversification into new markets. We intend to establish an operating presence in new markets that offer attractive opportunities to enhance the geographic diversification of our operations by adding businesses that we can grow over time by investing capital at attractive risk-adjusted returns. With the acquisition of TerraForm Global, we acquired assets in India and China, among others. Additionally, we believe our Brazil experience and team enables us to continue to expand into other South American countries, as was the case when we completed the acquisition of Isagen in early 2016 and the acquisition of TerraForm Global in December 2017. We have investment teams established in each of our core markets (North America, Colombia, Brazil, Europe and Asia), giving us the ability to transact on a global basis.
|
•
|
Development growth. We intend to continue to grow our business by pursuing development growth, either through the acquisition of development-stage assets or by building projects from our approximate 13,000 MW development pipeline. For example, through our 50-50 joint venture for X-Elio, we acquired operating assets and assets under construction in Mexico, Chile and Japan, as well as other geographies. We intend to focus on development-stage acquisition opportunities that are in high-value sites in our core markets,

|
Diversification of renewable power technologies. While we intend to maintain our predominantly hydroelectric focus, we also intend to direct some of our efforts to acquiring select assets using other renewable power technologies that share similar fundamental characteristics to our hydroelectric portfolio of long-life, predictable operating costs and cash flows and sustainable competitive cost advantages. For example, in addition to wind, we have invested in utility scale solar generating assets through TerraForm Power and TerraForm Global as well as distributed generation assets through TerraForm Power.

Offer solutions to support the decarbonization of the world: The global economy is in the early stages of a transformation from reliance on fossil fuel-related energy sources to a low-carbon economy. At Brookfield Renewable, we actively work to continue to position the business to be a meaningful participant in the decarbonization of the globe.
|
2.
|
Measure, reduce, and avoid greenhouse gas ("GHG") emissions: We measure our GHG emissions with a focus on reporting avoided emissions, meaning GHG emissions that would have been produced had our electricity been sourced from non-renewable fossil fuels. Our portfolio's annual generation avoids approximately 27 million metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions annually, which is equivalent to:
|
◦
|
6 million vehicles removed from the road annually
|
◦
|
9 million tons of waste recycled instead of landfilled
|
◦
|
5 million homes' electricity use for one year
|
◦
|
450 million trees planted
|
◦
|
Nearly all of London, England's emissions in one year
|

Financial Risk
|
Description of Risk
|
Management of Risk
|
Interest rate
|
We are exposed to risk on the interest rates of our debt, and on dividend and distribution rate resets on our Class A Preference Shares and Preferred Units, respectively.
|
- Assets largely consist of long duration physical assets, and financial liabilities consist primarily of long-term fixed rate debt or floating-rate debt that has been swapped to fixed rates with interest rate financial instruments to minimize the exposure to interest rate fluctuations
- Enter into interest rate contracts to lock-in fixed rates on certain anticipated future debt issuances
- Our proportionate floating rate exposure represents 12% of our total debt, after affecting for variable rate debt that has been hedged through the use of interest rate swaps (including those entered into subsequent to year-end). Our floating rate exposure arises primarily from our South American operations, as we have limited opportunities to raise fixed rate debt or hedge due to the high associated costs
|
Credit
|
We are exposed to credit risk from operating activities and certain financing activities, the maximum exposure of which is represented by the carrying amounts reported in the statements of financial position. We are exposed to credit risk if counterparties to our energy contracts, interest rate swaps, forward foreign exchange contracts and physical electricity and gas transactions as well as trade receivables are unable to meet their obligations.
|
- Diverse counterparty base with long standing credit histories
- Exposure to counterparties with investment-grade credit ratings
- Use of standard trading contracts and other standard credit risk mitigation techniques
- As at December 31, 2019, 66% (2018: 74%) of Brookfield Renewable’s trade receivables were current

Allocation of Investment Opportunities. In recommending acquisition opportunities, Brookfield has significant discretion to determine the suitability and/or appropriateness of opportunities for us and to allocate such opportunities among us, Brookfield, Brookfield Accounts, and/or third parties as it deems appropriate, in its sole discretion. Brookfield and Brookfield Accounts have (and future Brookfield Accounts may in the future have) investment mandates that overlap with our investment mandate, including TerraForm Power, the CEE Funds, and other Brookfield Accounts that invest in renewable power assets and in which we generally expect to be a significant investor. In addition, Brookfield has provided, and will in the future provide (without notice to our Unitholders), priority rights with respect to certain investment opportunities, including all or a select geographic, industry or other subset of opportunities, to certain Brookfield Accounts (but not to us) or to other persons pursuant to contractual or other arrangements. For example, pursuant to a relationship agreement between TerraForm Power and Brookfield, Brookfield has, subject to certain exceptions, designated TerraForm Power (of which Brookfield Renewable owns approximately 30%) as its primary vehicle for the acquisition of operating solar and wind assets in North America and Western Europe. In addition, the CEE Funds (in which Brookfield Renewable does not own an interest) has a mandate that targets low risk renewable power investments with lower target returns than Brookfield Renewable. As well, Brookfield Accounts with real estate, infrastructure or technology focused investment mandates generally have been (and will in the future be) given priority with respect to investment opportunities that are suitable and appropriate for them. As a result, in certain cases, Brookfield Accounts will compete with, or have priority over, Brookfield Renewable in respect of investment opportunities, and opportunities that would otherwise be suitable for us will not be made available to us, we will receive a smaller allocation of such opportunities than would otherwise have been the case, or we will receive an allocation of such opportunities on different terms than Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts (which may be less favourable than otherwise would have been the case).

Allocation of Broken-Deal Expenses. We will incur expenses with respect to the consideration and pursuit of transactions that are not ultimately consummated, referred to as broken-deal expenses, including through our investments in Brookfield Accounts. Examples of broken-deal expenses include (i) research costs, (ii) fees and expenses of legal, financial, tax, accounting, consulting or other advisers (including Brookfield) in connection with conducting due diligence or otherwise pursuing a particular non-consummated transaction, (iii) fees and expenses in connection with arranging financing for a particular non-consummated transaction, (iv) travel costs, (v) deposits or down payments that are forfeited in connection with, or amounts paid as a penalty for, a particular non-consummated transaction, and (vi) other expenses incurred in connection with activities related to a particular non-consummated transaction. Broken-deal expenses generally will be allocated among Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield and Brookfield Accounts in the manner that Brookfield determines to be fair and equitable, which may be pro rata or on a different basis.
|
•
|
Co-Investment Opportunities and Expenses. Because of the scale of renewable power acquisitions, we offer portions of certain acquisition opportunities for co-investment. In addition, because our strategy includes completing acquisitions through Brookfield Accounts, we will likely make co-investments with Brookfield and Brookfield Accounts. Decisions regarding whether and to which parties to offer co-investment opportunities are made by Brookfield and are based on a number of factors, including portfolio construction, strategic or other considerations, taking into account the specific facts and circumstances relating to each potential co-investment opportunity. As a result, from time to time, we expect to offer (or receive from Brookfield Accounts) larger or smaller portions of co-investment opportunities than would otherwise have been the case or no portion of certain opportunities.

Other Activities of Our Investment Personnel. The same professionals within Brookfield’s organization who are involved in sourcing and executing acquisitions that are suitable for us are responsible for sourcing and executing opportunities for Brookfield Accounts as well as having other responsibilities within Brookfield’s broader asset management business. Limits on the availability of such individuals will likewise result in a limitation on the availability of acquisition opportunities for us, and such individuals’ broader responsibilities will potentially conflict with their responsibilities to us. These potential conflicts may be exacerbated in situations where Brookfield or its employees are entitled to greater fees, incentive compensation or other remuneration in connection with their activities for other Brookfield Accounts relative to their activities for Brookfield Renewable or where there are differences in investments made for us relative to investments made for other Brookfield Accounts (including the Investing Affiliate (as defined below)).
|
•
|
Investments by Brookfield Personnel. The partners, members, shareholders, directors, officers and employees of Brookfield (“Brookfield Personnel”) are permitted to buy and sell securities or other investments for their own or their family members’ accounts (including through Brookfield Accounts), subject to the limitations described below. Positions may be taken by such Brookfield Personnel that are the same, different from, or made at different times than positions taken directly or indirectly for us. To reduce the possibility of (i) potential conflicts between our investment activities and those of Brookfield Personnel, and (ii) us being materially adversely affected by Brookfield Personnel’s personal trading activities, Brookfield has established policies and procedures relating to personal securities trading. To this end, Brookfield Personnel that participate in managing our investment activities are generally restricted from engaging in personal trading activities (unless such activities are conducted through accounts over which the personnel have no influence or control), and other personnel generally must pre-clear proposed personal trades. In addition, Brookfield’s policies include prohibitions on insider trading, front running, trading in securities that are on Brookfield’s restricted trading list, trading in securities that are subject to a black-out period and other restrictions.
|
•
|
Investments by the Investing Affiliate. Certain Brookfield executives own a substantial majority of an entity that makes investments for its own account (the “Investing Affiliate”). The Investing Affiliate’s activities are managed separately from our (or any Brookfield Account’s) activities. There is no formal informational barrier between the Investing Affiliate and the rest of Brookfield. Brookfield has adopted protocols designed to ensure that the Investing Affiliate’s activities do not materially adversely affect our (and Brookfield Accounts’) activities and to ensure that potential conflicts are resolved in a manner pursuant to which our (and Brookfield Accounts’) interests are, to the extent feasible, prioritized relative to the Investing Affiliate’s.
|
•
|
Warehousing Investments. From time to time, Brookfield will “warehouse” certain investments on our behalf, i.e., Brookfield will make an investment on our behalf and transfer it to us at a later date at cost plus a pre-agreed interest rate, after we have raised sufficient capital, including financing, to support the acquisition. Similarly, from time to time we will warehouse one or more investments for a Brookfield Account in which we are invested (or expect to invest) and transfer the warehoused investments to the applicable Brookfield Account at cost plus a pre-agreed interest rate, once the Brookfield Account has raised sufficient capital, including financing, to support the acquisition. In the event the applicable Brookfield Account does not obtain sufficient capital and/or financing to purchase the warehoused investment and we cannot find another buyer for the investment, we would be forced to retain the investment, the value of which may have increased or declined.
|
•
|
Transacting with Brookfield. When permitted by applicable law and subject to and in accordance with our conflicts policy, from time to time we buy investments from and/or sell investments to Brookfield and/or Brookfield Accounts. While such transactions generally require the approval of the Managing General Partner’s independent directors and, in connection with transactions with a Brookfield Account, the advisory committee of the applicable Brookfield Account, there can be no assurance that such transactions will be effected or that such transactions will be effected in the manner that is most favourable to us as a party to any such transaction

Investments with Related Parties. In certain circumstances, we will participate in investments that involve Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts in equity or debt positions within a transaction. For example, from time to time Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts will: (a) enter into a joint transaction with us; (b) be borrowers of certain investments or lenders in respect of Brookfield Renewable; or (c) invest in different levels of an issuer’s capital structure. As a result of the various conflicts and related issues described herein, we could sustain losses during periods in which Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts achieve profits generally or with respect to particular investments, or could achieve lower profits or higher losses than would have been the case had the conflicts described herein not existed. Brookfield Accounts invest in a broad range of asset classes throughout the corporate capital structure, including debt positions (either junior or senior to our positions) and equity securities (either common or preferred). It is possible that we will hold an interest in one part of a company’s capital structure while Brookfield or a Brookfield Account holds an interest in another. The interests of Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts in such investments could differ from our interests and could have been acquired at different times, at different prices and/or subject to different terms and conditions. Brookfield and/or Brookfield Accounts may dispose of their interests at different times and on different terms than us. In situations in which we invest alongside Brookfield or a Brookfield Account, conflicts of interest will potentially arise with respect to the nature and timing of the initial investment and purchase price, the allocation of control rights and the strategic objectives or timing of transactions, including in connection with the disposition of all or part of an investment. These conflicts could result from various factors, including investments in different levels of the capital structure, different investment objectives, different measurements of control, different risk profiles, different rights with respect to disposition alternatives, different investment horizons and/or different target rates of return.

Excess Funds Liquidity Arrangement with Related Parties. We have an arrangement in place with Brookfield pursuant to which it lends us excess funds from time to time. This arrangement is intended to enhance the use of excess funds between us and Brookfield when Brookfield has excess funds and we have a business need for the capital (including, without limitation, to fund operating or investment activities and/or to pay down higher cost capital), providing (i) to Brookfield, a higher rate of return on the funds than it otherwise would be able to achieve in the market and (ii) to us, a lower cost of funds than it otherwise would be able to obtain in the market.

Pursuit of Investment Opportunities by Certain Non-Controlled Affiliates. Certain companies affiliated with Brookfield: (i) are controlled, in whole or in part, by persons other than Brookfield, including, for example, joint ventures or similar arrangements with third parties where Brookfield does not have complete control; (ii) are separated from Brookfield pursuant to an information barrier; or (iii) do not coordinate or consult with Brookfield with respect to investment decisions (together, “Non-Controlled Affiliates”). Such Non-Controlled Affiliates are likely to have investment mandates that overlap with our investment mandate giving rise to potential conflicts. For example, from time to time such Non-Controlled Affiliates or investment vehicles managed by such Non-Controlled Affiliates will pursue investment opportunities which are suitable for us but which are not made available to us since such Non-Controlled Affiliates do not consult with and/or are not wholly controlled by Brookfield. Similarly, certain of Brookfield’s investment activities are managed independently of, and carried out without any reference to the management of Brookfield Renewable. In certain instances, there are information barriers in place pursuant to which investment operations are managed independently of each other and information is not generally shared relating to such activities.
|
•
|
Arrangements with Brookfield. Our relationship with Brookfield involves a number of arrangements, including the Master Services Agreement and Relationship Agreement, pursuant to which Brookfield provides various services, including access to financing arrangements and acquisition opportunities. Certain of these arrangements were effectively determined by Brookfield in the context of the formation of BEP, and could contain terms that are less favorable than those which otherwise might have been negotiated between unrelated parties. Circumstances may arise in which these arrangements will need to be amended or new arrangements will need to be entered into, and conflicts of interest between Brookfield Renewable and Brookfield will arise in negotiating such new or amended arrangements. Furthermore, Brookfield is generally entitled to share in the returns generated by our operations, which creates an incentive for it to assume greater risks when making decisions than it otherwise would in the absence of such arrangements. In addition, our investment in Brookfield Accounts provides Brookfield with certain ancillary benefits, such as satisfying Brookfield’s commitment to invest in such accounts (which Brookfield would otherwise need to satisfy from different sources) and assisting Brookfield in marketing the Brookfield Accounts.
|
•
|
Brookfield Personnel Arrangements. In the ordinary course, Brookfield employees are hired or retained by, or seconded or otherwise allocated to (in whole or in part), Brookfield Renewable and/or portfolio companies in which we are (directly or indirectly) invested for performance of operating services or roles that in the normal course are expected to be carried out by Brookfield Renewable personnel. In connection with any such arrangement, all or a portion of the compensation and overhead expenses relating to such employees (including base salaries, benefits and incentive compensation (which may include long term incentive awards of equity or options for equity in Brookfield), among other things) will directly or indirectly be borne by us. The compensation and overhead expenses relating to such employees generally will be within the market compensation range for the roles filled in the relevant market based on one or more of the following (i) market compensation studies or guidance provided by third parties, (ii) recent market hires made by Brookfield Renewable for comparable positions, (iii) the employee’s peers at Brookfield and Brookfield Renewable, and/or (iv) specific compensation reviews conducted by compensation consultants. For these purposes, given how certain compensation arrangements are structured and valued (particularly various forms of incentive compensation that vest over time and whose value upon payment is based on estimates) and how overhead expenses are generally allocated, in each case requiring certain judgments and assumptions, there can be no assurance that Brookfield Renewable will not bear higher costs than we would have had such expenses been valued, allocated or charged differently.

Brookfield Investments in Companies. Brookfield (or Brookfield Accounts) will from time to time make equity or other investments in companies or businesses that provide services to or otherwise contract with us, Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested or our direct or indirect portfolio companies. In particular, Brookfield has in the past entered into, and expects to continue to enter into, relationships with companies in technology and other sectors and industries in which Brookfield has broad expertise and knowledge, whereby Brookfield acquires an equity or other interest in such companies that may, in turn, transact with us, Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested or our direct or indirect portfolio companies. For example, Brookfield (through an investment program referred to as Brookfield Growth) invests in emerging technology companies that develop and offer technology products that are expected to be of relevance to us, Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested or our direct or indirect portfolio companies (as well as third-party companies). In connection with such relationships, Brookfield refers, introduces or otherwise facilitates transactions between such companies and us, Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested or our direct or indirect portfolio companies. In all cases, Brookfield seeks to ensure that the transactions are in our best interests, the Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested and/or our direct or indirect portfolio companies, with terms to be determined in good faith as fair, reasonable and equitable under the circumstances. However, these transactions also result in benefits to Brookfield, including via increased profitability of the relevant company as well as financial incentives and/or milestones which benefit Brookfield (including through increased equity allotments), which are likely in some cases to be significant. Such financial incentives that inure to or benefit Brookfield (or Brookfield Accounts) pose an incentive for Brookfield to cause us, Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested or our direct or indirect portfolio companies to enter into such transactions that may not have otherwise been entered into. Financial incentives derived from relationships with such companies will generally not be shared with us. Furthermore, such transactions are likely to contribute to the development of expertise, reputational benefits and/or the development of new products or services by Brookfield and/or the companies or businesses that Brookfield is invested in, which Brookfield will seek to capitalize on to generate additional benefits that are likely to inure solely to Brookfield (or Brookfield Accounts) and not to us. For the avoidance of doubt, any of the arrangements and/or benefits described in this paragraph will not require notice to, or the consent of, our Unitholders. Brookfield may take its own interests into account in considering and making determinations regarding these matters.
|
•
|
Sharing of Services. In certain circumstances, in order to create efficiencies and optimize performance, one or more of our investments, portfolio companies or assets will determine to share the operational, legal, financial, back-office or other resources of another of our investments, portfolio companies or assets, or of an investment, portfolio company or asset of Brookfield or a Brookfield Account. In connection therewith, the costs and expenses related to such services will be allocated among the relevant entities on a basis that Brookfield determines in good faith is fair and equitable (but which will be inherently subjective, and there can be no assurance that we will not bear a disproportionate amount of any costs, including Brookfield’s internal costs).
|
•
|
Related Party Transactions. We (including our subsidiaries and investee companies and portfolio companies of Brookfield Accounts that we are invested in) are and will be counterparties in agreements, transactions and other arrangements with other Brookfield Accounts (including their portfolio companies) for the provision of goods and services, purchase and sale of assets and other matters that would otherwise be transacted with independent third parties. Some of these agreements, transactions and other arrangements would not have been entered into but for the affiliation or relationship with Brookfield and, in certain cases, are expected to replace agreements, transactions and/or arrangements with third parties. These agreements, transactions and other arrangements will involve payment of fees and other amounts and/or other benefits to Brookfield Accounts and their portfolio companies (including, in certain cases, performance-based compensation), none of which will result in any offset to management and other fees payable by us to Brookfield. Such agreements, transactions and other arrangements will generally be entered into without the consent or direct involvement of the Managing General Partner’s independent directors or our Unitholders.

|
Information Sharing. Because of the extensive scope of Brookfield’s activities, Brookfield often has or obtains information that can be utilized by Brookfield across multiple strategies. For example, information Brookfield has or acquires through its management of Brookfield Accounts and/or its own investing activities is used by Brookfield to identify or evaluate potential investments for us. Conversely, information Brookfield has or acquires in connection with our activities is used for the benefit of Brookfield and/or Brookfield Accounts (and, for the avoidance of doubt, Brookfield will have no duty (contractual, fiduciary or otherwise) to keep such information confidential from, or not to use such information in connection with the investment activities of, itself and/or Brookfield Accounts). Brookfield will trade, or may cause Brookfield Accounts to trade, on the basis of information it has or obtained through our investment and operations activities. In some cases, this trading will result in Brookfield or a Brookfield Account taking a position that is different from, and potentially adverse to, a position taken by us, or result in Brookfield or a Brookfield Account benefiting from our investment activities. Brookfield has implemented policies and procedures to mitigate potential conflicts of interest and address certain regulatory requirements and contractual restrictions with respect to communication and information sharing. Such policies and procedures generally reduce synergies across Brookfield’s various activities, and negatively affect Brookfield’s or our ability to pursue attractive investment opportunities that would otherwise be available to Brookfield or us if such policies and procedures were not implemented. From time to time, such policies and procedures will result in Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts having reduced investment opportunities or investment flexibility, or otherwise restrict us, Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts in their activities with respect to such information.
|
•
|
Material Non-Public Information; Trading Restrictions. From time to time, our ability to buy or sell certain securities will be restricted by applicable securities laws, regulatory requirements, information held by Brookfield, contractual obligations applicable to Brookfield, and potential reputational risks relating to us, Brookfield and/or Brookfield Accounts (including Brookfield’s internal policies designed to comply with these and similar requirements). As a result, from time to time Brookfield will not engage in transactions or other activities for, or enforce certain rights in favor of, us due to Brookfield’s activities outside Brookfield Renewable, regulatory requirements, policies, and reputational risk assessments.

|
Client and Other Relationships. Brookfield pursues other business activities and provides certain services (including, in each case, through portfolio companies that it and Brookfield Accounts invest in) that compete directly with our business activities without providing us with an opportunity to participate, which results in the allocation of Brookfield's resources, personnel and acquisition and business opportunities to others that compete with us. In addition, certain portfolio companies in which we, Brookfield and/or Brookfield Accounts are invested in provide investment banking and other advisory services to third parties with respect to assets in which we are invested or seeking to invest. The interests of such portfolio companies in such circumstances generally will conflict with (and be adverse to) our interests, and we generally will compete with such portfolio companies (and their third party clients) in pursuing certain investments. Brookfield generally implements policies and procedures (including, for example, information barriers) to mitigate potential conflicts of interest and address certain regulatory requirements relating to these potential circumstances.
|
•
|
Limited Liability of Brookfield. The liability of Brookfield and its directors is limited under our arrangements with them, and we have agreed to indemnify Brookfield and its directors against claims, liabilities, losses, damages, costs or expenses which they may face in connection with those arrangements, which may lead them to assume greater risks when making decisions than they otherwise would if such decisions were being made solely for Brookfield's own account, or may give rise to legal claims for indemnification that are adverse to the interests of our Unitholders.
|
•
|
Valuation of Our Investments. Brookfield performs certain valuation services related to our securities and assets. Brookfield performs such services in accordance with its valuation policies. From time to time, Brookfield will value a similar or identical asset differently for Brookfield Renewable than for itself or a Brookfield Account, including because Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield and Brookfield Accounts are subject to different valuation guidelines pursuant to our and their respective governing agreements (e.g., in connection with differing applicable regulatory restrictions), different third-party vendors are hired to perform valuation functions for Brookfield Renewable, Brookfield or the Brookfield Accounts, or otherwise. In addition, Brookfield faces a conflict with respect to valuations generally because of their effect on Brookfield’s fees and other compensation.

Brookfield Public Securities Group. Brookfield is an active participant, as agent and principal, in the global fixed income, currency, commodity, equities and other markets. Certain of Brookfield’s investment activities are managed independently of, and carried out without any reference to, the management of Brookfield Renewable. For example, Brookfield invests, trades or makes a market in the equity, debt or other interests of certain of our portfolio companies without regard to the impact on us of such activities. In particular, Brookfield’s Public Securities Group (“PSG”), manages investment funds and accounts that invest in public debt and equity markets. There is currently an information barrier in place pursuant to which PSG manages its investment operations independently of other parts of Brookfield and does not generally share information relating to such activities. Consequently, neither we nor PSG consults the other about, or has awareness of, investment decisions made by the other, and neither is subject to any internal approvals over its investment decisions by any person who would have knowledge of the investment decisions of the other. As a result, PSG will not share investment opportunities that may otherwise be suitable for Brookfield Renewable with us, and our company will have no rights with respect to such opportunities. In addition, in certain circumstances, funds and/or accounts managed by PSG will hold an interest in one of our investments and, as a result of different investment objectives and views, PSG is likely to manage such interests in a way that is different from us (including, for example, by investing in different portions of an issuer’s capital structure, short selling securities, voting securities in a different manner, and/or selling its interests at different times than us). As a result of the information sharing barrier, our investment team may not be aware of, and may not have the ability to manage, such conflicts. Brookfield has discretion at any time, and without notice to our Unitholders, to remove or modify such information barrier. In the event that the information barrier is removed or modified, Brookfield

Oaktree. In 2019, Brookfield acquired approximately 61% of the business of Oaktree. Oaktree is a global investment manager with significant assets under management, emphasizing an opportunistic, value-oriented and risk-controlled approach to investments in credit, private equity, real assets and listed equities. Brookfield and Oaktree operate their respective investment businesses largely independently pursuant to an information barrier, with each remaining under its current brand and led by its existing management and investment teams.

Service Providers. Our service providers or service providers of our portfolio companies (including deal sourcers, consultants, lenders, brokers, accountants, attorneys and outside directors) may be (or their affiliates may be) Unitholders and/or sources of investment opportunities and counterparties therein, or may otherwise participate in transactions or other arrangements with us and/or Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts. Furthermore, employees of Brookfield or Brookfield portfolio companies have and may in the future have family members or relatives employed by service providers (particularly the large, global providers) to Brookfield, Brookfield Accounts, us, and portfolio companies that we are directly or indirectly invested in. These factors create incentives for Brookfield in deciding

Advisors. Brookfield engages or retains strategic advisors, senior advisors, operating partners, executive advisors, consultants and/or other professionals who are not employees or affiliates of Brookfield (including former Brookfield employees as well as current and former executive officers of Brookfield portfolio companies) and who are expected, from time to time, to receive payments from, or allocations or performance-based compensation with respect to, our portfolio companies (as well as from us, Brookfield or Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested). In such circumstances, such payments from, or allocations or performance-based compensation with respect to, our direct and indirect portfolio companies and/or BEP or Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested generally will be treated as our expenses or of such Brookfield Accounts. These strategic advisors, senior advisors, operating partners, executive advisors, consultants and/or other professionals (which may include certain former Brookfield employees) in certain circumstances are offered the ability to co-invest alongside Brookfield Renewable, including in those investments in which they are involved (and for which they may be entitled to receive performance-based compensation, which will reduce our returns), or otherwise participate in equity plans for management of a portfolio company. In certain cases, these persons are likely to have certain attributes of Brookfield “employees” (e.g., they have dedicated offices at Brookfield, participate in general meetings and events for Brookfield personnel, work on Brookfield matters as their primary or sole business activity, have Brookfield-related email addresses, and/or participate in certain benefit arrangements typically reserved for Brookfield employees) even though they are not considered Brookfield employees, affiliates or personnel. Where applicable, Brookfield allocates the costs of such personnel to the applicable portfolio companies, to us and/or to Brookfield Accounts in which we are invested. Payments or allocations to Brookfield’s strategic advisors, senior advisors, operating partners, executive advisors, consultants and other similar professionals can be expected to increase the overall costs and expenses borne indirectly by unitholders. There can be no assurance that any of the strategic advisors, senior advisors, operating partners, executive advisors, consultants and/or other professionals will continue to serve in such roles and / or continue their arrangements with Brookfield and/or any portfolio companies or Brookfield Accounts.

|
Diverse Interests. The various types of investors in and beneficiaries of Brookfield Renewable, including Brookfield, may have conflicting investment, tax and other interests with respect to their interests. When considering a potential investment for us, Brookfield will generally consider our investment objectives, not the investment objectives of any particular investor or beneficiary. Certain of Brookfield's decisions, including with respect to tax or other reporting positions, will be more beneficial to one type of investor or beneficiary than another, or to Brookfield than to investors or beneficiaries unaffiliated with Brookfield. Brookfield reserves the right on behalf of itself and its affiliates to take actions adverse to us or other Brookfield Accounts in these circumstances, including withholding amounts to pay actual or potential tax liabilities.

|
Reputational Considerations. Given the nature of its broader platform, Brookfield has an interest in preserving its reputation, including with respect to certain of its affiliates' statuses as publicly traded vehicles, and in certain circumstances, such reputational considerations may conflict with our interests. The Managing General Partner or Brookfield have made (and will likely make) decisions on our behalf for reputational reasons that may not be directly aligned with the interests of Unitholders or consistent with the determination the Managing General Partner or Brookfield otherwise would have made absent its interest in Brookfield’s broader reputation. For example, Brookfield has limited (and will in the future limit) transactions and activities on our behalf for reputational or other reasons, including where Brookfield is providing (or may provide) advice or services to an entity involved in such activity or transaction, where a Brookfield Account is or may be engaged in the same or a related activity or transaction to that being considered on our behalf, where a Brookfield Account has an interest in an entity involved in such activity or transaction, or where such activity or transaction on behalf of or in respect of Brookfield Renewable could affect the Managing General Partner, Brookfield, Brookfield Accounts or their activities.
|
•
|
Possible Future Activities. Brookfield expects to expand the range of services that it provides over time. Except as provided herein, Brookfield will not be restricted in the scope of its business or in the performance of any services (whether now offered or undertaken in the future) even if such activities could give rise to conflicts of interest, and whether or not such conflicts are described herein. Brookfield has, and will continue to develop, relationships with a significant number of companies, financial sponsors and their senior managers, including relationships with companies that may hold or may have held investments similar to those intended to be made by us. These companies may themselves represent appropriate investment opportunities for us or may compete with us for investment opportunities.

Pursuant to our Master Services Agreement, we pay the Service Provider a fixed base management fee equal to $20 million, which amount is annually adjusted for inflation, with the first adjustment having been made on January 1, 2013, at an inflation factor based on year-over-year United States consumer price index) plus 1.25% of the amount by which the Total Capitalization Value exceeds an initial reference value determined based on its market capitalization immediately following combination of the assets of the Fund and Brookfield Power Renewable Assets into BEP. In the event that the measured Total Capitalization Value in a given period is less than the initial reference value, the Service Provider will receive only the Base Management Fee of $20 million annually (subject to an annual escalation by the specified inflation factor described above). The Base Management Fee is calculated and paid on a quarterly basis. For any quarter in which the Managing General Partner determines that there is insufficient available cash to pay the base management fee as well as the next regular distribution on our LP Units, we may elect to pay all or a portion of the base management fee in our LP Units or in limited partnership units of BRELP, subject to certain conditions. See Item 6.A. “Directors and Senior Management – Our Master Services Agreement – Management Fee”.

Revaluation of power generating assets
|
Description of the Matter
|
The Partnership measures power generating assets (classified as property, plant and equipment) using the revaluation method under IAS 16, Property, Plant and Equipment. As at December 31, 2019, Property, plant and equipment on the balance sheet totaled $30,714 million. Revaluations of property, plant and equipment recognized on the statement of other comprehensive income totaled $1,971 million and on the statement of profit or loss totaled $18 million for 2019. As discussed in Note 1(h), 1(q)(i) and 1(r)(iii) and 13 - Property, Plant and Equipment, at Fair Value to the consolidated financial statements, significant estimation and management judgment are involved in assessing the estimates and assumptions regarding the future performance of the power generating assets.
Management applies a dual approach which involves a discounted cash flow model as well as a market evaluation in determining the fair value of the Partnership’s power generating assets. Significant assumptions included within the discounted cash flow models are: future electricity prices, discount rate, anticipated long-term average generation and estimated operating and capital expenditures.
Auditing the measurement of power generating assets is complex due to the highly judgmental nature of the significant assumptions described above, which required the involvement of specialists. Changes in these assumptions can have a material effect on the fair value of the power generating assets.
|
How We Addressed the Matter in Our Audit
|
We obtained an understanding, evaluated the design and tested the operating effectiveness of controls over management’s processes in determining the fair value of power generating assets. We tested controls over management’s review of the valuation models, including the controls over the review and approval of all significant assumptions.
To test the fair value of the power generating assets, our audit procedures included, among others, evaluating the Partnership’s valuation methodology, the significant assumptions used, and testing the completeness and accuracy of the underlying data supporting the significant assumptions. For each power generating asset, we analyzed the significant drivers of the change in fair value including the future electricity prices and discount rates. With the support of our valuation specialists, we inspected management’s valuation analysis and assessed the estimates of future electricity prices by reference to shorter-term broker price quotes and management’s longer-term market forecasts specific to each region and power generating asset. We also involved our valuation specialists in the evaluation of the discount rates which included consideration of benchmark interest rates, geographic location, contracted versus uncontracted assets and type of technology.
For a sample of power generating assets, we performed audit procedures that included, among others, agreeing contracted power prices to executed power purchase agreements and assessing the anticipated long-term average generation through corroboration with third party engineering reports and historical trends. Further we assessed the estimated operating and capital expenditures by comparison to historical data, and tested the computational accuracy of the fair value model. With the assistance of our valuation specialists for the same sample, we also performed a sensitivity analysis over the significant assumptions to evaluate the fair value of power generating assets. We also evaluated the fair values using other market-based evidence by comparing the portfolio as a whole to recent similar transactions and by calculating the revenue and EBITDA multiples of a sample of power generating assets and comparing them to multiples of comparable public companies.
Furthermore, we evaluated the adequacy of the Partnership’s disclosures regarding the significant assumptions and sensitivity analysis around the fair value of power generating assets.

Applied the exemption not to recognize right-of-use assets and liabilities for leases with less than twelve months of lease term;
|
•
|
Relied on its assessment of whether leases are onerous immediately before the date of initial application;
|
•
|
Used hindsight in determining the lease term where the contract contained options to extend or terminate the lease; and

|
the contract specified explicitly or implicitly the use of an identified asset, and that is physically distinct or represents substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified;
|
•
|
Brookfield Renewable has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
|
•
|
Brookfield Renewable has the right to direct the use of the asset. Brookfield Renewable has this right when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to changing how and for what purpose the asset is used. In rare cases where the decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined, Brookfield Renewable has the right to direct the use of the asset if either:
|
◦
|
Brookfield Renewable has the right to operate the asset (or to direct others to operate the asset in a manner that it determines) throughout the period of use, without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or
|
◦
|
Brookfield Renewable designed the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.
|
•
|
Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
|
•
|
Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

The exercise price under a purchase option that Brookfield Renewable is reasonably certain to exercise, lease payments in an optional renewable period if Brookfield Renewable is reasonably certain to exercise an extension option, and penalties for early termination of a lease unless Brookfield Renewable is reasonably certain not to terminate early.
|
•
|
Fulfillment of the arrangement was dependent on the use of a specific asset or assets; and
|
•
|
The arrangement had conveyed a right to use the asset. An arrangement conveyed a right to use the asset if one of the following was met:
|
◦
|
The purchaser had the ability or right to operate the asset while obtaining or controlling more than an insignificant amount of the output;
|
◦
|
The purchaser had the ability or right to control physical access to the asset while obtaining or controlling more than an insignificant amount of the output; or
|
◦
|
Facts and circumstances indicated that it was remote that other parties would take more than an insignificant amount of the output, and the price per unit was neither fixed per unit of output nor equal to the market price per unit of output.

Indications that a debtor or group of debtors is experiencing significant financial difficulty;
|
•
|
A default or delinquency in interest or principal laments;
|
•
|
Probability that a debtor or a group of debtors will enter into bankruptcy or other financial reorganization;

Foreign exchange risk associated with the cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges);
|
•
|
Foreign exchange risk associated with net investment in foreign operations (net investment hedges);
|
•
|
Commodity price risk associated with cash flows of highly probable forecast transactions (cash flow hedges); and
|
•
|
Floating interest rate risk associated with payments of debts (cash flow hedges).
|
•
|
There is an 'economic relationship' between the hedged item and the hedging instrument;
|
•
|
The effect of credit risk does not 'dominate the value changes' that result from that economic relationship; and
|
•
|
The hedge ratio of the hedging relationship is the same as that resulting from the quantity of the hedged item that Brookfield Renewable actually hedges and the quantity of the hedging instrument that Brookfield Renewable actually uses to hedge that quantity of hedged item.

Evaluation - The Nominating and Governance Committee performs an annual evaluation of the effectiveness of the Board as a whole, the committees of the Board and the contributions of individual directors, and provides a report to the Board on the findings of this evaluation. In addition, each committee assesses its own performance annually.
