Transaction & Deal Support

Bring grid risk
into the price.

From the vendor’s data room to the buyer’s investment committee, make the connection position part of a clear, defensible transaction case.

Sharper pricing starts with understanding what the asset can do, what could change and where the value is exposed.

Support on each side of the decision

The same rigour.
A different commercial question.

Vendor preparation

Put a substantiated grid case in front of the market.

Anticipate the questions that will arise in diligence. Set out the connection terms, constraint assumptions and valuation implications in a report bidders can interrogate.

Commercial objectiveSupport sharper pricing and reduce avoidable uncertainty in the sale process.
  • Vendor grid-risk report for the data room
  • Documented assumptions, source references and evidence gaps
  • Revenue and valuation sensitivities around the seller’s case
  • Technical-to-commercial support for bidder questions
Bidder diligence

Understand what you are acquiring, before you commit.

Test the grid claims in sale materials against the underlying evidence. Identify what a different queue, reinforcement date or constraint shape does to the operating and acquisition case.

Commercial objectiveBid, reprice, seek protection or walk away with a clearer basis for the decision.
  • Independent review of connection and curtailment claims
  • Queue, reinforcement and energisation dependencies
  • Buyer-case and downside valuation sensitivities
  • Acquisition issues register, mitigants and diligence questions
Investment committee support

Make the grid assumptions visible in the investment decision.

Connect technical findings to the price, returns and downside exposure. Distinguish the evidence from the judgement, and make the conditions for proceeding explicit.

Commercial objectiveA decision record that explains the risk accepted, the assumptions relied on and the actions still required.
  • Concise acquisition and investment committee brief
  • IRR, NPV and, where relevant, DSCR stress cases
  • Key value drivers, unresolved issues and mitigants
  • Support through committee challenge and follow-up questions
The outputs

Evidence that travels
with the deal.

The engagement is scoped to the transaction. Each output connects the underlying grid evidence to the commercial question it needs to answer.
