Projects that match your size, technology, stage and regions, including opportunities that never reach a public process.
M&A and origination
M&A and origination of solar and battery projects in Spain.
I help buyers find and close solar, battery storage and hybrid projects in Spain, and I help developers sell theirs. Ready-to-build or operating, from the first screening to signing. I have sat on both sides of the table: I co-founded Cable Energía, bought by Shell and later by Acciona, and I chair Capflex Energía, which develops and sells battery storage projects in Spain (500 MW).
For buyers
Screening
Grid access and posted guarantees, permits, hybridisation route and the revenue case a lender will bank, before you spend on due diligence.
To signing
Offer, negotiation and conditions precedent, with the developer, the EPC contractor and the lenders at the table.
For developers selling
Ready to sell
The grid, permits and land file a buyer’s due diligence will ask for, in order before the first call.
The right buyer
Utilities, independent power producers and infrastructure funds from Spain, the rest of Europe and the UK.
The process
From teaser and non-binding offers to signing, keeping several buyers in play.

How it works
