5i Research Answer:

BEPC is the largest of the three and its portfolio consists of approx 21,000 MW of capacity and nearly 6,000 generating facilities. Nearly 62% of its portfolio focuses on hydroelectric power, with the remainder in wind, solar, and distributed generation. Management aims to deliver long-term annualized total returns of 12%-15%, including annual distribution increases. 

NPI focuses on offshore wind (60% of portfolio) in Asia and Europe, with an aggregate capacity of 3,018 MW, with another ~3,500 MW in development. The remainder of the capacity comes from Solar (25%), the other 10%, and onshore wind 5%. 

BLX has a capacity of 3,000 MW, with another 6,000 MW in development. Nearly 82% of generated energy comes from wind, 10% from solar, and the rest from hydro. The aim is to expand the portfolio to have a split of 45-45% between wind and solar and another 10% in battery storage. 

If we had to pick one, we would side with BEPC given the size, ability to move contracts, relatively stronger cash flow profile, and track record.
