Major Projects Advisory

Development in large scale renewable energy infrastructure is extensive. Spanning generation through to transmission and distribution, it requires special insight across technical, commercial, risk, financial and regulatory domains. We work with governments and network operators to deliver major transmission projects, with developers of generation and storage assets, and with new market entrants seeking to establish and grow their energy businesses.

We help our clients work through complex due diligence exercises to identify risk and optimise value. We can support project appraisals with targeted due diligence across critical value drivers including grid connection and curtailment risk, market and revenue risks, capex and opex expenditure planning, and regulatory risk factors. Alternatively, we can scope, implement and manage your end-to-end due diligence program to ensure investors receive timely, focussed and relevant information.
