Renewables Deals 2008. Mergers and acquisitions activity within the global renewable power market
This report examines the rationale behind the overall trends and the key individual deals. We also highlight, in a series of deal dialogues throughout the report, some of the critical issues for companies engaging in deal activity within the sector, drawing on our global experience as an adviser to players in major deals in renewable energy markets. Renewables deal activity during 2008 suggests that the credit crisis and downturn impact was felt particularly strongly in the second half of 2008. Although there was no fall in announcements coinciding with the autumn 2008 intensification of the banking and financial crisis, the value of deals dropped dramatically in the second half of 2008 compared to the same period in 2007. Total renewables first half year-on-year deal value was down 7% – from US$13.9bn to US$12.9bn – but second half deal value shrunk by more than half – from US$29.5bn to US$13.9bn – compared with the previous year.
