Connor Teskey has been named chief executive of Brookfield Renewable Partners, replacing Sachin Shah, who is now chief investment officer for Brookfield Asset Management.
Teskey (pictured) has been with Brookfield since 2012 and most recently served as Brookfield Renewable’s chief investment officer.
Although Shah will relinquish his role as CEO, he will continue to be responsible for Brookfield’s renewable power activities for the firm’s private funds.
He will also be a vice chair of Brookfield Renewable.
Mark Carney, who recently joined Brookfield Asset Management as vice chair and global head of ESG and impact investing, has been named a vice chair of Brookfield Renewable.
Brookfield Asset Management chief executive Bruce Flatt said: “With Brookfield Renewable now one of the largest renewable electricity generators and developers in the world, we continue to plan for new areas of growth.
“These appointments will help us move to the next phase of expansion, helping governments and corporations meet their renewable power and energy transition targets and driving decarbonisation initiatives around the world.”
