Brookfield Renewable Partners (“Brookfield Renewable”), along with its institutional partners and Cameco Corporation (“Cameco”), announced on October 11, 2022 that they are forming a strategic partnership (“the consortium”) to acquire Westinghouse Electric Company (“Westinghouse”), one of the world’s largest nuclear services businesses, for a total enterprise value of $7.875 billion.
Brookfield Renewable and its institutional investors will control 51% of Westinghouse, while Cameco will own 49%. The existing debt structure of Westinghouse will stay in place, leaving the consortium with an anticipated $4.5 billion equity cost, subject to closing modifications. Brookfield and its institutional partners (about $2.3 billion) and Cameco (roughly $2.2 billion) will share this equity cost proportionally. Brookfield Renewable is represented by Cravath in relation to the transaction.
