Brookfield selling Westinghouse nuclear assets

It took me a few minutes to realize that here, one Brookfield entity (Brookfield Business Partners: BBU) is selling Westinghouse to a consortium whose majority partner is another Brookfield entity (Brookfield Renewable Partners: BEP)!

From this BBU article:

“When combined with distributions received to date, Brookfield’s expected proceeds will equate to approximately 6 times its invested capital, a 60% IRR and $4.5 billion of total profit”

While this is great for BBU unitholders, I hope this doesn’t mean BEP overpaid.
