What I get called in for

Four kinds of mandate

Always the same shape: a company that needs a market, a partner or a project moved forward, and not enough senior bandwidth inside to do it.

Market entry and country opening

Regulatory and commercial assessment, partner identification and screening, go-to-market strategy, first deals. Spain and France for a Swiss utility, East Africa for Engie, 54 countries mapped for a French transformer manufacturer.

Partnerships, consortia and M&A

Consortium and joint bidding agreements, shareholders' agreements, target origination and screening, negotiation support. Two offshore consortia alongside TotalEnergies and Corio Generation, acquisition screening in Spain and France.

Tenders and PPAs

Bid direction on the French floating offshore auctions AO5 and AO6, lead negotiator on IPP power purchase agreements, EPC and O&M contracting, bid preparation and bid evaluation.

Feasibility, structuring and financing

Financial modelling, information memoranda, negotiation with equity investors and lenders, blended finance and tariff design, from hybrid and mini-grid systems to utility scale.

Where the work has been

Forty-seven countries in energy. Eighty-eight across the career.

Isolated grids and island systems, emerging markets, European utilities, North American distributed wind, and the North Sea. Working languages: English, French, Spanish.
