Utility mergers and acquisitions
Unlocking value through due diligence
We understand the long-term value of investments in electric, gas, and water utilities. And we know the historical approach of terminal value calculations is challenged by rapidly evolving factors like the changing role of electricity and natural gas under the pressure of decarbonisation, emerging technologies, and government policies that move the market.
Today's successful growth forecasting requires understanding and modelling these complex dynamics to derive estimates of long-term value. Through comprehensive assessment of strategic growth opportunities and risks, we'll help you maximise value across the utility business.
