What can we recognis for you?
As a project developer, you want to make sure your homework is properly done to improve the value and bankability of your project. As an investor, you want to be sure to have recognised the right targets and to pay the right price for them. Being aware of the risks involved, and finding the means to mitigate or price them is equally important. And you want to time your actions right, recognising the impact of regulatory changes and other external factors shaping the market conditions.
Renewable energy technologies are developing rapidly. Their LCOE keeps on falling and their bankability improving. Geographical areas and markets that were once not considered feasible for renewable energy deployment will soon become profit-hunting grounds for early investors willing to seize the opportunities and able to acknowledge the risks. Latecomers need to find smarter ways to enter the market at a reasonable entry price. Regulatory changes can shake even the most mature markets overnight. We can help you to analyse your options and make your move: Sell, keep or buy? Retreat, hibernate or fight back?
