Investment in power systems requires advanced understanding of the business and its risks.

Technical due diligence is a key risk management tool to help identify the limitations and opportunities of an investment in a merger or acquisition before making an informed decision.

Investment Advisory and Due Diligence approach

Our due diligence process involves identifying any key risks in the vendor’s business case model, then, developing practical strategies to mitigate those risks. This provides clients with a strong foundation for project negotiations.

In addition, using its extensive global experience,  EGI focusses on identifying and assessing business opportunities that can lead to upsides for possible future performance.

Per nature, EGI has a wealth of industry experience at hand to conduct tailored and detailed technical Due Diligence on any power system asset around the globe.
