Pattern Energy Expands Its Renewable Footprint with Cordelio Acquisition

HOUSTON, SAN FRANCISCO, TORONTO — In a strategic move to enhance its clean energy infrastructure across North America, Pattern Energy Group has announced a definitive acquisition agreement with Cordelio Power. This acquisition positions Pattern Energy to significantly bolster its independent clean energy platform in both the U.S. and Canada.

According to Hunter Armistead, CEO of Pattern Energy, “Today begins Pattern Energy’s next pivotal chapter in meeting North America’s rapidly growing energy demand. Cordelio brings a complementary portfolio of high-quality assets in attractive markets, supported by a strong and experienced team. This transaction will increase our presence and product offerings in the United States and Canada, and our ability to deliver the long-term, affordable and dependable infrastructure our customers expect as we fulfill our vision to Power the Future.”

Pattern Energy's new acquisition includes a 1,550-megawatt blend of operating and under-construction projects across 16 wind, solar, and storage sites in Canada and the U.S. Additionally, Pattern will take over the majority of Cordelio’s wind and storage development projects in key American markets, alongside adding Cordelio’s experienced team to its roster.

Chris Hind, CEO of Cordelio Power, emphasized the shared values between the companies, stating, “Pattern and Cordelio share a commitment to responsible development and the communities in which we work. We look forward to joining with Pattern Energy to deliver high-quality projects with expanded product offerings to support customers across more markets.”

The union of Pattern and Cordelio aims to leverage their collective scale and operational expertise to efficiently manage complex clean-energy projects amidst rising market demand.

Bill Rogers, Managing Director and Head of Sustainable Energies for Canada Pension Plan Investment Board (CPP Investments), remarked on the acquisition, saying, “Pattern’s acquisition of Cordelio represents a logical next step in strengthening a leading clean energy business, bringing together more resources and solutions to meet the growing energy demand across North America. This transaction brings together two complementary teams and portfolios, positioning the combined company to compete more effectively and accelerate growth.”

Evercore Group L.L.C. acted as the exclusive financial advisor to Pattern, while Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom LLP and Osler Hoskin & Harcourt LLP provided legal counsel. Meanwhile, Cordelio was advised by JPMorgan.

The transaction is slated for completion in the first quarter of 2026, pending customary regulatory approvals. Upon completion, it will increase CPP Investments’ ownership in Pattern Energy, given that Cordelio is fully owned by CPP Investments.
