Energy markets and Due Diligence

The decarbonization, decentralization and digitalisation of the energy industry offers numerous opportunities, especially for players in the non-regulated areas. For more than 15 years, E-Bridge has been accompanying the transformation in the German and European energy industry and has gained expertise and experience that are indispensable for assessing and overcoming the challenges ahead.

The Energy markets team supports the players in these competitive areas by helping to shape the market design, market, price and risk analyses, development and evaluation of business models as well as the development of sales and procurement strategies including the structuring of Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs).

Within the transformation process of the energy transition, changes are creating numerous opportunities. Transactions involving companies or assets offer the potential to exploit these opportunities. At the same time, transactions require a comprehensive examination of the target objects so that, in addition to the resulting opportunities, potential risks are also carefully analyzed and a sound basis for decision-making can be established.

Sound audits and valuations in the context of transactions require a high level of technical expertise as well as a holistic understanding of complex interrelationships in the energy system. E-Bridge’s experts have many years of experience in the execution of numerous successful transactions.
