Brookfield Renewable today announced that the Toronto Stock Exchange (the "TSX") has accepted notices filed by
- Brookfield Renewable Partners L.P. ((TSX:BEP.UN, NYSE:BEP), (TSX:BEP, NYSE:BEP)) ("BEP") of its intention to renew its normal course issuer bids for its limited partnership units ("LP Units") and Class A preferred limited partnership units ("Preferred Units");

- Brookfield Renewable Power Preferred Equity Inc. ("BRP Equity") of its intention to renew its normal course issuer bid for its outstanding Class A preference shares ("Preferred Shares"). BRP Equity is a wholly-owned subsidiary of BEP.
