Brookfield Asset Management, along with its institutional partners, has announced that following the acquisition of National Grid Renewables, the company will now operate under the name Geronimo Power. This rebranding marks a return to the company’s original identity, established by its founder Noel P. Rahn, a rural Minnesota native and landowner. The name Geronimo Power reflects the company’s longstanding commitment to supporting American farmers and rural communities through clean, reliable energy solutions.
Geronimo Power has built a strong reputation in the renewable energy sector for its focus on sustainable development and community empowerment. The company develops and operates critical electric infrastructure that delivers dependable, domestically produced energy while contributing to the economic resilience of local communities. Currently, Geronimo Power operates more than 2 gigawatts (GW) of power generation across several U.S. states, including Minnesota and Texas. In addition, it has 1 GW of projects under construction and a development pipeline exceeding 20 GW.
Throughout its operations, Geronimo Power has prioritized generating tangible economic benefits for the regions in which it operates. Collectively, its active and under-construction projects are expected to provide approximately $840 million in direct economic benefits to American communities over their lifespans. These benefits include job creation, lease payments to landowners, and increased tax revenues for local governments. As part of its broader commitment to social responsibility, Geronimo Power also establishes charitable funds for each of its large-scale operational projects.
Blake Nixon, President and CEO of Geronimo Power, said in a statement, “We’re honored to rebrand the company in a way that celebrates and recognizes the roots we established under the Geronimo brand back in 2007. We’re proud to have earned a reputation for putting landowners and communities first, and we’ll carry that legacy forward as Geronimo Power, continuing our commitment to deliver reliable, innovative power solutions to meet growing demand in the US.”
These funds are designed to support local nonprofit organizations and community initiatives. The company collaborates with residents and community leaders to identify funding priorities, ensuring that the financial support is aligned with local needs and values. With the transition to Geronimo Power, the company aims to strengthen its legacy of community engagement and sustainable growth, while continuing to play a key role in building a more resilient and future-ready American energy landscape.
