Project due diligence
Stride’s strategic red-flag analysis and recommendations help you buy and sell projects.
The process of acquiring a renewable energy project is complex and expensive.
You are not just buying the project entity and associated contracts, but also the relationships with government, community and First Nation groups, and (in some cases) the ongoing services of a development team. The project also needs to be positioned in a complex electricity market, one increasingly governed by public investment in the transmission system and government tenders.
Stride’s deep experience in project development involves numerous transactions on both the vendor and acquiring sides.
We maintain strong relationships with government and government programs, allowing us to view projects strategically, rapidly identifying red flags that may make the purchase unsuitable.
Stride’s expertise allows us to develop project overviews and generate follow-up lists for specialists such as lawyer and planners. We dig deep with our outside contacts, strategically investigating every aspect of a project to determine whether it stacks up.
This enables your executives to identify issues early, saving time and money on specialist consultants.
Stride analysed several BESS projects for BW Group as part of their business growth strategy.
