Zelya Energy

Our consultants assist you in the financial valuation of energy companies and assets, in the context of an acquisition or an equity stake.

We have solid expertise and a strong reputation in this area, as we have contributed, on behalf of our clients, to the implementation of robust financial models and evaluation methodologies specific to the composition and diversity of their portfolio: wind, hydraulic, solar, biomass, thermal, networks, etc.

We apply the most appropriate valuation methods to the company's activity, whether the company is already in "cruise control" or whether it is looking for funding sources to support its development. Our work is exhaustive, it takes into account the exact nature of the companies evaluated, as well as the tax and accounting aspects specific to the different energy sectors concerned.

Financial modeling and valuation of energy companies and assets

We answer the key investor issues:

  • by calculating and determining precisely the parameters involved in the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC)
  • by taking into account, in our calculations, essential or specific variables to the energy sectors: country-risk, exchange rates, regulated rates, market revenues or guaranteed by the State
  • by quantifying their impact on the WACC to be retained according to the asset analyzed

Types of assets, companies and portfolios valued:

  • trading, production and service companies in the energy sector
  • power plants: wind, solar power, biomass, combined cycle gas, biogas, cogeneration, coal, hydro...
  • infrastructure and networks: gas and electricity transport and distribution networks, storage facilities, regasification facilities...
