TORONTO — Brookfield Renewable and its institutional partners have signed an agreement to sell its Saeta Yield renewable energy business in Europe to the UAE’s Masdar in a deal valued at US$1.4 billion.
Saeta is an independent developer, owner and operator of renewable power assets in Spain and Portugal.
Masdar will acquire a portfolio of 745 megawatts of predominantly wind assets and a development pipeline of about 1.6 gigawatts worth of projects.

The deal excludes a regulated portfolio of 350 megawatts of solar power assets, which Brookfield will keep and continue to operate.
Mohamed Jameel Al Ramahi, chief executive officer at Masdar, says Saeta is a perfect complement to the company’s portfolio in Europe.
Masdar was established in 2006 and has developed and invested in projects in over 40 countries with a combined capacity of over 20 gigawatts.
