Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you provide an updated perspective on the cadence and magnitude of overall asset recycling plans over the next year? A: Connor Teskey, CEO, explained that the growth in asset recycling is a natural expansion tied to their organic and development activities. They expect it to grow similarly in the future, driven by market values. They anticipate deploying $9 billion to $10 billion into growth over five years, with at least a third from asset recycling. The returns from this program are consistently at the high end of their target range.
Q: Do you still see public equities offering more compelling opportunities than private M&A, and what is your continued M&A appetite post-Boralex? A: Connor Teskey stated that opportunities in the public market continue to exist due to capital constraints faced by some companies. They see a robust pipeline across both private and public markets for the remainder of the year, with public companies struggling due to limited access to capital.
Q: Can you clarify the progress with the US Government and Westinghouse regarding long-lead items? A: Connor Teskey mentioned that discussions are ongoing, and they hope to announce significant progress soon. There is strong demand for nuclear energy, particularly in the US, from various stakeholders, including the government and utilities.
Q: Is there an expectation to exceed the 10% FFO per unit growth target in the next few years? A: Connor Teskey indicated that they are well-positioned to exceed the 10% target due to M&A, new capacity from organic growth, and attractive asset recycling values. The operating fundamentals and organic growth profile are strong, with asset sale gains providing additional upside.
Q: How should we think about the cadence of future dropdowns into Northview Energy, and is it a steady-state funding lever? A: Connor Teskey explained that they have the option but not the obligation to sell assets into Northview Energy. The additional capital for future dropdowns is expected to be utilized over a two to four-year period, with decisions on expanding or creating new vehicles to be made in the future.
