Energy & Infrastructure

Energy and infrastructure companies are currently benefiting from a rare convergence: political tailwinds from the energy transition, declining financing costs and high capital availability from infrastructure funds seeking stable, long-term cash flows. EBITDA multiples of 8x to 12x are realistic for companies with long-term offtake agreements and regulated revenue streams. Buyers in this segment differ fundamentally from other sectors: infrastructure funds and pension funds are not seeking short-term returns, but 10 to 20-year cash flow certainty. Strategic utilities and international energy groups seek market access and technology expertise. For business owners this means: those who can demonstrate long-term contracts, scalable structures and clear regulatory compliance encounter the broadest buyer market in the infrastructure world. Whether and under what conditions your business is attractive to these buyer groups — that cannot be answered generically. We are happy to discuss this in a first confidential conversation.

The energy transition and expansion of critical infrastructure are creating one of the most dynamic M&A markets in recent years. Strategic investors, infrastructure funds and international buyers are actively seeking companies with established positions in areas such as renewable energy, grid infrastructure, energy efficiency and utility services. Valuations in many sub-segments are at historically high levels — driven by political tailwinds and long-term offtake agreements.
