History and Foundation
The company was founded in 1899 in Toronto, originally under the name São Paulo Tramway, Light and Power Company, with an initial focus on electric infrastructure and urban transportation in Brazil and Canada. Its creation reflected the international deployment of capital into public-service assets and essential-utility operations.The early years were marked by the expansion of energy systems, transportation networks, and urban services, including the construction of hydroelectric plants and distribution grids. Consolidation of operations required significant capital investment, corporate restructuring, and alignment with public-service regulations in the jurisdictions where it operated.
Subsequent decades saw diversification into real estate, renewable energy, and industrial assets, accompanied by corporate reorganization that culminated in the Brookfield name. Global expansion accelerated with the acquisition of infrastructure companies and the development of dedicated funds for institutional investors.
Among its key milestones are the corporate restructuring of the 1990s, the consolidation of renewable-energy platforms in the 2000s, expansion into private equity in 2010, and the initial public offering (IPO) of operational units tied to infrastructure and energy in international markets.
From 2020 to 2024, the period was characterized by growth in energy-transition initiatives, expansion of private-credit platforms, increased institutional fundraising, and strategic adjustments driven by global macroeconomic conditions. Recent developments also included new acquisitions, expansion of digital operations, and strengthened sustainability and governance policies.
