ON THE CALENDAR: Mergers & Acquisitions in the Renewable Energy Industry, July 19-20
Boston, MA - Mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the renewable energy industry are expected to increase throughout the next year and into the future. However, the numerous federal, state, and local programs designed to spur renewable energy growth coupled with the recent financial crisis makes the M&A environment turbulent and at times contradictory. Although most experts agree that renewable energy development remains a profitable industry, financers’ current appetite for risk remains extremely low despite the slight economic upswing making M&A transactions difficult.
This conference will discuss the current status of M&A in the renewable industry and describe where it is heading on both a national and international level. As financing transactions remains extremely difficult, the conference will suggest innovative new financing mechanisms and provide lessons learned from recent transactions. It will review the basics of due diligence and provide an in-depth review of due diligence in a cross border transaction. This conference is designed to set the stage for where M&A is now and provide suggestions regarding where it will be headed to help those in the industry adequately prepare for what is to come.
Goodwin Procter partner, Elise Zoli will co-present the “Lessons Learned From Recent Transactions” session along side Bryan Fennell, NextEra Energy Resources and Tim Huckaby, FMI Capital Advisors. As companies attempt to navigate the M&A environment, it is helpful to learn from what has been successful in the recent past. Zoli, Fennell and Huckaby will share their experience with negotiating and completing transactions in the renewable energy industry despite the financial crisis.
Mergers and Acquisitions in the Renewable Energy Industry is hosted by Electric Utility Consultants, Inc. (EUCI). Attendees are eligible for 0.9 continuing eduation credits.
