EU M&A Outlook 2024 - 2026: Forecasting the Major Trends that Will Define Deal Activity for Solar, Wind and Storage Assets

Enerdatics’ EU M&A Outlook 2024-2026 projects a significant rise in solar M&A in emerging markets like Romania, Italy, and Greece, driven by favorable CfD tariffs and streamlined permitting processes. Meanwhile, onshore wind M&A will shift towards repowering opportunities as infrastructure funds divest older assets. The battery storage sector is set for diversification, with activity expanding beyond the UK to regions like Finland, Italy, Poland, and Spain. Notably, PE acquisitions will dominate, accounting for up to 60% of utility-scale solar deals and 30-40% of wind and battery M&A. Enerdatics highlights the increasing volatility in energy prices, urging investors to strategically position themselves in markets primed for growth.
