Cameco (CCJ.US) stock fell 15.0% after the Canadian uranium producer joined forces with power plant operator Brookfield Renewable Partners in order to acquire nuclear power equipment maker Westinghouse Electric in a deal worth $ 7.88 billion, including debt. The deal, which is expected to close in the second half of 2023, comes amid growing interest in nuclear power due to the energy crisis in Europe and high oil and gas prices.
“Bringing together Cameco’s expertise in the nuclear industry with Brookfield Renewable’s expertise in clean energy positions nuclear power at the heart of the energy transition and creates a powerful platform for strategic growth across the nuclear sector,” the companies said in a statement.
