Segments

Renewable energy segments in which we run transactions

Six renewable energy segments in which we source projects, run due diligence and execute transactions. Each has different documents, risks and buyers, but the same review methodology.

How we work across segments

The same process, different questions in every segment

A solar farm, a battery storage project and a wind farm all follow the same path with us: selection from our own pipeline, verification across 42 areas, a GO or NO-GO recommendation, and only then presentation to the investor. What differs is which factors decide the outcome of the review and the price in each segment.

For a solar farm it is usually land title and grid connection status. For battery storage, the technology, fire safety and revenue model. For wind, the distance from residential buildings and the quality of wind data. Below you will find a page for each segment with the scope of work, typical risks and the questions buyers ask.

Segments

Choose a segment

Solar PV Solar farms from pre-RTB to operating assets. The largest transaction volume on the market and the most mature documentation standard. What decides the review: Land title, grid connection, environmental decision, P50/P90 yield. Battery Storage (BESS) Stand-alone and co-located projects next to solar or wind. Valuation depends on the technology, revenue strategy and capacity market auction results. What decides the review: Technology and degradation, fire safety, scope of the grid connection, revenue model. Wind Farms Onshore projects after the changes to the 10H rule. They are returning to the market, but require a local zoning plan and credible wind data. What decides the review: Distance from buildings, measurement campaign, environmental monitoring, fragmented land leases. Hybrid Projects Several generation sources and storage on one grid connection. Better use of connection capacity at the cost of a more complex contract structure. What decides the review: Cable pooling, scope of the environmental decision, settlements between co-users. Data center Powering data centres with renewables: PPAs, high-capacity grid connections and projects dedicated to a single offtaker. What decides the review: PPA structure, connection capacity, timeline relative to the offtaker's launch. Biogas & Biomethane Plants running on agricultural or waste feedstock with gas injected into the grid. Transactions are less frequent, but come with their own set of risks. What decides the review: Feedstock agreements, sector permits, gas grid connection, digestate management.

Services

Regardless of segment

The scope of the review, the course of the transaction and the terms of cooperation are common to all segments. We describe them on the due diligence and M&A transactions pages. If you are buying, start with an investment mandate; if you are selling, with submitting your project.
