8 Best Wind Energy Stocks for 2026 and How to Invest
Brookfield Renewable (BEP +1.28%) is a leading global clean energy infrastructure company. As of mid-2026, it had 46.8 GW of operating assets, including 8.5 GW of hydroelectric power, 16.9 GW of wind, 13.8 GW of utility-scale solar, 5 GW of distributed generation (e.g., rooftop and community solar), and 3.1 GW of storage capacity. It also has a growing sustainable solutions platform, including carbon capture and storage, biofuel production, recycling, solar panel manufacturing, and nuclear services.
Brookfield takes a diversified approach to investing in clean energy. However, wind is a big part of its future. Brookfield has nearly 225 GW of development projects in its pipeline, including 43 GW of onshore wind and 3 GW of offshore projects.
Recent investments have expanded Brookfield’s capacity to build and operate wind farms. They also support Brookfield’s strategy to boost its high-yielding dividend (over 4.5% in mid-2026) in the coming years (5% to 9% annual dividend growth target). That makes it an ideal stock for investors seeking a partially wind-powered passive income stream.
