VALUATION // INFRASTRUCTURE

Infrastructure valuation.

Renewable plants, networks and concessions are valued on contracted cash flows. The engine projects and discounts them at the rate investors actually require for that asset class, in that country.

METHODS

How the calculation works

The recognised approaches for this asset class, applied to your figures.

M.01

Discounted cash flow

The core method for infrastructure: contracted or regulated revenues minus operating costs, projected over the asset's life and discounted at a risk-adjusted rate built from the local risk-free rate, an equity risk premium and an asset-specific premium.

M.02

Yield and multiple benchmarks

Observed transaction yields and EBITDA multiples for comparable assets — solar and wind portfolios, fibre networks, toll roads, utilities — cross-check the DCF output, drawn from the same region where possible.

M.03

Contract and regulatory analysis

Remaining contract duration, indexation, offtaker credit quality, tariff mechanisms and the stability of the regulatory regime are the main value drivers and are reflected in both cash flows and the discount rate.

M.04

Country risk and currency

Assets in emerging markets carry sovereign, convertibility and expropriation risk. The engine values cash flows in the currency in which they are earned and adds an explicit country risk premium rather than a blanket haircut.

M.05

Terminal value and end of concession

What happens at the end of the contract — hand-back to the grantor, repowering, merchant operation or decommissioning — can represent a large share of value. Decommissioning provisions are deducted where the licence requires them.

QUESTIONS

Common questions

Straight answers before you start.

Q.01

What drives an infrastructure asset's value?

The duration and quality of its revenue contracts, the regulatory regime, operating performance, remaining asset life, and the cost of capital for that risk profile in that country.

Q.02

Can you value a renewable energy project?

Yes. Solar, wind, hydro, storage and biomass projects are valued on projected production, contracted or merchant power prices, operating costs and remaining life — whether operating, under construction or in development.

Q.03

How do you value a project still in development?

By applying a probability of reaching financial close to the fully built value, based on permitting stage, grid connection, land control and offtake status. Early-stage pipelines are usually valued per megawatt.

Q.04

Does the country change the valuation significantly?

Substantially. The same solar plant can differ by a third in value between a stable OECD market and a higher-risk jurisdiction, through the discount rate, power price assumptions and financing terms.

Q.05

What documents should I prepare?

The offtake or concession contract, the financial model, permits and licences, production or traffic history, O&M contracts, debt terms, and the technical due diligence report if one exists.

Q.06

Is the estimate suitable for investors or lenders?

The indicative estimate helps frame a transaction or a refinancing. Investment committees and lenders require a formal valuation report, which our network delivers.
