Portfolio Management & Value Creation for Energy Investors

CRA’s Energy Practice supports private equity clients and their advisors as transactions move from diligence through execution and closing. We provide independent analysis of the market, regulatory, commercial, and financial issues that can affect transaction structure, valuation, financing, and regulatory approval.

Our energy and regulatory expertise is particularly valuable in transactions where market rules, rate regulation, ownership requirements, or government approvals can materially affect value or execution risk. We work alongside investors, legal counsel, investment banks, lenders, and other advisors to address issues as they arise during the transaction process.

Where regulatory approval is required, CRA can provide economic and market analysis supporting filings and proceedings before FERC, state utility commissions, and other regulatory bodies.

Our services include:

• Transaction and deal-structure analysis
• Valuation and bid support
• Independent commercial analysis
• Regulatory strategy and risk assessment
• FERC and state regulatory support
• Market-power and competitive-effects analysis
• Transaction modeling and scenario analysis
• Financing and lender support
• Responses to diligence and investor questions
• Expert analysis in contested transactions
