Need to release equity from your energy project ?

Published On: January 12th, 2016Categories: News

We are used to constant political upheaval in the renewable energy sector, but the last six months have been particularly difficult.  Many are still looking at once viable projects trying to work out how make them stack up commercially after the recent FiT  amendments take hold.  Farming commodities have also entered a trough over the last 12 months, putting extra financial pressure on many rural businesses.

For those who have projects up and running there may also have been some changes in circumstance that means the release of a capital sum from their own projects could be an interesting option.   Family splits, succession planning, refinancing for re-investment or simply taking profits from a de-risked development might all lead to existing owner operators wanting to lease or sell their project to a specialist third party.

We have been involved in a number of similar transactions where owners have managed to secure significant cash returns from the sale of a project and we are actively seeking to support more clients across wind, hydro, solar and AD technologies.

Whilst there is no ‘one size fits all’ arrangement we have expert knowledge on how best to structure an equity release arrangement to suit the needs of the parties involved.  We can source purchasers with a proven track record and get deals put in place quickly to make the cash available.

If this is something that maybe be of interest to you, a friend or client then do please get in touch to see how we can help.
