◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
If you make anything that goes into a battery storage system—inverters, thermal management, power electronics, site software—Brookfield just became your customer, and it's buying at scale with a 20+ gigawatt pipeline to fill. The data centre boom is pulling power infrastructure into the hands of mega-cap operators, which means your route to market is now through them, not the grid.
