Power (excl. nuclear and renewables)

The electricity markets continue to undergo change driven by the green agenda, continuing global liberalisation, changing patterns of power usage and rapid industrialisation in many emerging markets. This results in significant structural change in developed economies and developing countries opening their doors to foreign investment.

Power consumers are often seeking increased efficiency in operations and asset utilisation. Power companies additional revenues from new geographic markets, multi-utility and non-utility operations. Meanwhile, the institutional infrastructure and debt industry looks for investable targets.
