Financial modeling and valuation of energy companies and assets

Valuation of Energy Portfolios

We address key investor concerns:

  • by precisely calculating and determining the parameters of the Weighted Average Cost of Capital (WACC);
  • by factoring in sector-specific variables: country risk, exchange rates, regulated tariffs, and market or state-guaranteed revenues;
  • by quantifying their impact on the WACC applied to the asset under review.

Types of energy assets, companies, and portfolios valued:

  • trading, production, and service companies in the energy sector;
  • power plants: wind, solar, biomass, combined-cycle gas, biogas, cogeneration, coal, hydro, etc.;
