Brookfield to Acquire Aypa Power in $7 Billion Deal

Brookfield will acquire Aypa Power from Blackstone at an enterprise value of approximately $7 billion.
Aypa controls 6.5 GW of operating, construction-stage and contracted battery storage capacity, plus a development pipeline exceeding 20 GW.
About 95% of its operating and construction portfolio is covered by long-term contracts averaging 17 years.
Brookfield has agreed to acquire North American battery storage developer Aypa Power from Blackstone Energy Transition Partners in a transaction valued at approximately $7 billion.
The deal carries an equity value of $3 billion and gives Brookfield control of one of the continent’s largest dedicated battery storage platforms. The acquisition includes Aypa’s operating assets, projects under construction, contracted portfolio and development business.
Brookfield will also take on Aypa’s approximately 200 employees.
The transaction comes as North American electricity systems face rising demand from data centres, artificial intelligence, manufacturing and broader electrification. At the same time, power markets need more flexible capacity to manage renewable generation and reduce pressure on constrained grids.
Brookfield expands its storage portfolio
Aypa has approximately 6.5 GW of operating, under-construction and contracted battery storage capacity across the United States and Canada. Its development pipeline exceeds 20 GW.
The company’s assets are concentrated in regions where transmission capacity is limited and electricity demand is growing. These market conditions can increase the value of storage assets that shift power across different periods of the day.
Battery energy storage systems can absorb electricity when supply is abundant and release it when demand rises. They can also provide capacity, grid balancing and reliability services.
Brookfield is making the investment through the second vintage of its global transition strategy. Institutional partners, including Brookfield Renewable Partners, will invest alongside the group.
Jehangir Vevaina, Chief Investment Officer in Brookfield’s Energy group, said: “We are excited to partner with Aypa to deliver on the company’s scale growth pipeline. Battery storage is increasingly critical to the reliability and resilience of today’s energy systems, and bringing together this leading platform with Brookfield’s broad capabilities across technologies and geographies further strengthens our ability to deliver integrated energy solutions to the world’s largest buyers of power.”
Jehangir Vevaina, Chief Investment Officer in Brookfield’s Energy
Brookfield plans to use its operating experience, capital access, procurement network and commercial relationships to accelerate Aypa’s project pipeline.
The companies also intend to offer integrated power solutions to utilities, corporations and other large electricity customers.

Long-term contracts support cash flow
Aypa’s operating and under-construction portfolio is 95% contracted through long-term agreements with investment-grade customers. Those contracts have an average remaining term of 17 years.
That structure gives Brookfield greater visibility over future revenue and reduces exposure to short-term electricity price volatility.
For infrastructure investors, contracted battery storage can offer characteristics similar to other long-duration energy assets. However, project economics still depend on technology costs, market design, grid connections and regulatory treatment.
Aypa also brings capabilities in site selection, transmission analysis, procurement and power contracting. These skills have become increasingly important as interconnection queues lengthen across major power markets.
Moe Hajabed, Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Aypa Power, said: “This is an extraordinary achievement for the team that built Aypa. Over the past six years, with Blackstone’s partnership, we grew Aypa into the largest and most valuable storage-focused independent power producer in North America. Together, we helped establish battery storage as critical infrastructure, essential to a more reliable and resilient grid. I look forward to seeing Aypa flourish further under Brookfield’s ownership.”
Blackstone exits after six years of growth
Blackstone backed Aypa as battery storage shifted from an emerging technology into a core component of electricity infrastructure.
Bilal Khan, Senior Managing Director, and Mark Zhu, Managing Director, from Blackstone said: “We invested in Aypa based on our conviction that battery storage would become increasingly critical to supporting grid reliability and meeting growing electricity demand from AI and other use cases. Since then, the company has established itself as the leading battery storage platform in North America, supported by a premier development pipeline and strong customer relationships. We are proud to have partnered with Aypa and its exceptional management team, and look forward to its next phase of growth with Brookfield.”
Bilal Khan, Senior Managing Director, and Mark Zhu, Managing Director, from Blackstone
The acquisition reflects growing investor demand for assets that can support both energy security and decarbonisation. Storage can improve the use of renewable electricity, but it also serves a wider role in managing demand growth and grid congestion.
For governments and regulators, the transaction highlights the need for market rules that reward flexibility, capacity and reliability. Grid connection reform will also remain central to bringing large storage pipelines into operation.
The deal remains subject to customary regulatory approvals.
Cantor Fitzgerald acted as lead financial adviser to Aypa and Blackstone, with Bank of America also serving as financial adviser. Kirkland & Ellis provided legal counsel to Aypa and Blackstone. White & Case advised Brookfield.
Once completed, the acquisition will deepen Brookfield’s position in North American power infrastructure. It will also place significant capital behind battery storage as electricity demand, renewable deployment and grid reliability become increasingly linked.
