Brookfield Renewable is raising its quarterly distribution payment to $0.392 per share ($1.568 annualized). It pays the same rate across its corporate shares (BEPC) and limited partnership units (BEP). At that rate, you'd need to own 638 shares of either entity to generate $1,000 of income each year.
However, while each entity pays the same quarterly rate, they have different share prices. Brookfield Renewable Corporation's (BEPC) share price is around $42, giving it a 3.8% yield. Meanwhile, Brookfield Renewable Partners (BEP) is currently around $30 a share, putting its yield at 5.3%. The partnership trades at a lower price because it issues a Schedule K-1, a Federal tax form that can complicate tax filing. At those current price points, you'd currently need to invest over $26,550 into BEPC to generate $1,000 in annual dividend income compared to around $18,730 in BEP.
So, if income is your primary aim, and you don't mind the potential tax complications, Brookfield Renewable Partnership offers a lower-cost way to generate $1,000 of annual dividend income from the leading renewable energy company.
