Acquisition Risk Assessment
Buying and selling renewable energy and other clean infrastructure assets requires an understanding of a unique set of risks. Buyers need to be aware of the specific performance requirements and risks associated with different technologies, the risks of which tend to be very different than more typical energy and infrastructure projects. Sellers need to understand the concerns of buyers and know how to explain or allocate those risks in financially sustainable ways.
Climate Edge has a comprehensive understanding of the unique risks these projects face, how those risks are managed, and the financial and accounting implications of those different management tools. We can ensure that buyers fully understand and mitigate their risks and that sellers are able convey to their buyers the full value of the project and how they have managed inherent risks.
