Technical Due Diligence
When targeting a renewable energy project, company or technology for acquisition, investment or lending, clients need to know much more than just what the company tell them. They need to know how robust current income streams are and what liability potential lies hidden in the management accounts.
Due diligence is an essential step in the decision-making process of acquiring, investing, divesting or consolidating.
OWC offers specialist technical due diligence supporting the financing, acquisition, sale and refinancing of assets, technology and companies within the renewables and energy market.
With OWC’s assistance, owners and financial institutions can obtain an objective expert view on actual project performance or asset value to make informed decisions related to loans, consolidation or mergers and acquisitions.
With a combination of offshore wind engineers and consultants who have overseen engineering and project management from the first concepts to the operational phase; and mariners who have overseen vessels, rig moves, and major marine operations, OWC is extremely well-placed to perform solid, independent technical due diligence.
