As efforts to drive forward toward revitalising Europe’s conventional and renewable energy production, many market operators are reviewing their asset portfolios. As this occurs, buyers and sellers will look to make deals for individual projects or entire companies. The deal market for energy assets is undoubtedly changing in size and scope and although players are prepared to deal, the path to selecting the correct deal and actually closing it remains challenging. European energy policy, while very promising, is still in evolution, and credit markets remain tight and uncertain. Only the well informed will be able to judge asset values and develop optimal portfolio strategies going forward.

In order to provide critical perspectives on these points, the EPG Power Project Financing Pre-Summit has been designed to bring together the industry’s most active, seasoned and forward-looking developers, portfolio companies, equity investors, investment bankers, lenders and regulatory experts. Together, they will share their perspectives on the European energy financing and M&A market.

Attendees will benefit by gaining critical intelligence while networking and make contacts with industry peers who wish to do business. The Summit will serve as the market nerve-centre for European energy dealmakers
