The relentless demand for electrical current, driven by an intelligence of questionable purpose – they call it ‘artificial’ – presents a peculiar situation. It is not a question of need, precisely, but of an insatiable appetite, a hunger that expands with each calculation performed. One is left to observe the companies positioned to satisfy this demand, not with optimism, but with a detached curiosity, as though cataloging specimens in a dimly lit archive. The promise of ‘robust profits’ feels less like a forecast and more like a bureaucratic inevitability, a form to be filled out and filed in triplicate.
Brookfield Renewable (BEP +2.15%) (BEPC +1.70%) has, through a process not entirely dissimilar to geological drift, accumulated a portfolio of assets. Hydroelectric dams, wind turbines, solar arrays – these are not solutions, merely points of convergence, locations where the current is momentarily captured and redirected. The company occupies an intersection, a precisely calculated point on a map of escalating demands, pressures to ‘decarbonize’ (a term freighted with an unspoken anxiety), and the need for a continuous, uninterrupted flow of energy – a demand that seems to exist outside the realm of reason.
The latest earnings report – a document meticulously compiled and audited, yet ultimately describing a system operating on principles beyond comprehension – indicates a growth of ten percent in ‘funds from operations.’ This figure, presented with an air of significance, feels less like an achievement and more like a confirmation of the inescapable logic of the system. The reported $4.6 billion in available liquidity is not a sign of strength, but a temporary reprieve, a buffer against the inevitable pressures of expansion. The ‘robust pipeline’ of assets suggests not innovation, but a relentless replication of existing structures, a perpetual motion machine driven by an unseen force.
Brookfield now collaborates with entities such as Microsoft, Alphabet‘s Google, and Amazon. These are not partnerships, but acknowledgements of mutual dependence, a silent agreement to perpetuate the cycle. The fact that BEPC has increased by twelve percent year to date and sixty-two percent in the past twelve months is not a testament to its inherent value, but a reflection of the prevailing currents, a temporary elevation within a system governed by forces beyond individual control. The dividend yield of 3.6% feels less like a reward for investment and more like a calculated disbursement, a means of maintaining the illusion of stability.
The assertion that Brookfield possesses ‘staying power’ is, perhaps, the most unsettling claim of all. It suggests a permanence, a resistance to the inevitable entropy that governs all things. The balance sheet, capable of ‘flexibility and aggression,’ is not a source of reassurance, but a reminder of the company’s capacity to adapt and perpetuate itself, to navigate the labyrinthine regulations and escalating demands with ruthless efficiency. It is, ultimately, one of the better positioned entities, yes, but within a system whose ultimate destination remains shrouded in an unsettling, perpetual twilight.
