Investment strategy in wind and hydro

Zelya Energy advised an investment bank on its investment strategy in renewable energy electricity production. The mandate was to establish a coherent and ambitious strategy aimed at targeting the most profitable investments across electricity production and wind / hydroelectric equipment manufacturing.

The strategy was built on the segmentation of the wind and hydroelectric sector — manufacturers, subcontractors, developers, insurers, turnkey constructors — combined with a financial evaluation, for a typical plant of 4.5 to 10 MW, of future cash flows by segment.

The result allowed the bank to identify the most attractive profit margins and returns on investment, by sector of activity and by country.

This engagement is part of our broader cross-sector energy and renewable asset due diligence and advisory practice, combining wind and hydropower expertise.
