Brookfield Renewable Partners LP and Brookfield Renewable Corp Q1 2022 Earnings Call Transcript

The following is excerpted from the question-and-answer section of the transcript.

Question: Nelson Ng - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst : I just had a few questions on your development pipeline. So thanks for providing all the extra granularity on the development pipeline and kind of outlining the commissioning schedule for the next few years. One thing I noticed is that there's like very little hydro and onshore wind being developed in 2023 and 2024. I guess, big picture, is that trend -- is the trend of solar just getting -- becoming a larger part of your pipeline, like will that continue?

Question: Nelson Ng - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst : Okay. And then just on that pipeline, I think there's roughly 9 gigawatts that you're expecting to commission through 2024. You did mention that you're managing through the inflation costs and supply chain issues. So on that 9 gigawatts, is that -- like are you like very comfortable with that number with potential upside? Or have you baked in -- like does that include some contingencies due to any supply issues? Because I know in the U.S., there's obviously some uncertainty on U.S. solar panel imports. And then I think people are still waiting for the Biden administration to put through some renewable tax credits in terms of PTC. So what's your view on the 9 gigawatts?

Question: Nelson Ng - RBC Capital Markets, Research Division - Analyst : Okay. Great. And then just one last question. In terms of the 235-megawatt wind acquisition in Asia, can you give a bit more color on that acquisition? Is it in India or another location? And then also, can you give a bit of background on timing on the rest of that 700-megawatt portfolio in Asia?
