Asset Valuations in the Power Sector

Asset valuation is a complex but vitally important task for any organization involved in the development,financing, investing, or operation of power generation, transmission, distribution, and energy storage assets. Today’s energy industry is rapidly evolving; the questions surrounding changing energy regulations and subsidies, the tradeoffs between new and old power technologies, the long-term price of natural gas, and the often-volatile financial markets all combine to make utility asset valuations challenging. Accurate valuations must be based on a keen understanding of power technologies and the industry with in-depth knowledge of technology costs, revenue drivers, and the regulatory landscape.
