In our analysis of corporate transactions involving solar, wind, and battery developers globally since 2022, Enerdatics has observed a significant increase in the number of transactions valued over 10X last twelve months (LTM) EBITDA. Specifically, the number of such transactions has increased significantly during the last 2 years, from 7 deals in 2022 to 13 since 2023. This trend can be attributed to the strategic actions of PE firms like Brookfield and KKR, as well as cash-rich players such as Statkraft and Equinor. These companies are acquiring platforms that have substantial development pipelines to leverage economies of scale and lower their per-unit procurement costs. Additionally, intense competition for these platforms has resulted in attractive EV/EBITDA valuations, as sellers can attract bids from multiple interested parties. Overall, these transactions are driving growth and providing opportunities for both buyers and sellers in the renewable energy sector.
