Energy and renewables

Dedicated corporate finance support for renewable energy developers and investors

We are one of the most active and successful corporate finance advisors for UK onshore renewable projects and platforms

If you’re considering selling or buying a renewable energy project or platform, then working with the right advisors can be key in ensuring you achieve the optimal result for your business. It’s therefore sensible to work with an experienced, senior team who can guide you through a smooth and successful transaction.

Over a century of combined experience is no small achievement in a sector which only really took off in the 1990s. It means we have one of the UK’s most knowledgeable and focused renewable energy corporate finance teams. We have completed numerous successful transactions across Scotland, England, Northern Ireland, and Wales.

That can make a real difference to your deal. Power prices and interest rates move fast with Developments having construction and planning schedules and funding often comes with a deadline. So a clear, trouble-free transaction is more than just desirable. It’s essential.

It’s why our senior experts will lead your transaction from the outset right through to completion. Our team has been fully focused on renewable energy for more than a decade. That doesn’t just mean we can see the opportunities and risks with your project – we also know the key buyers for your technology, and what’s important to each.

  • Senior led team working with you all the way through to completion

  • In-house tax and due diligence expertise covers your deal from every angle

  • Aligned interest fee structure means we succeed only when you do

Decades of success for renewable energy sellers and investors

“We have worked closely with the PKF Francis Clark team since 2018, as we developed our portfolio and strategy. Throughout the capital raise process, PKF’s advice and support were invaluable, and I would have no hesitation in recommending them.” Oliver Millican, Chairman, Bute Energy
“We worked with Andy, Richard and the wider PKF team on the sale of the British Solar Renewables business in 2022 , having worked with team previously on solar asset sales. Andy and Richard really took the time to get to know the business, understanding the importance of finding the right buyer in terms of the values and cultural fit. They were extremely hands on and professional and made it their mission to get the deal over the line. They were there whenever we needed them (including over Christmas) to offer advice or provide an objective view and were extremely solutions focussed when issues did arise. We could not be more delighted with the partner they found for us, which was a testament to their deep understanding of us and our business.” Tim Humpage, CEO at BSR
“Rich and the energy team at PKF Francis Clark acted as lead adviser to Low Carbon from the outset of these two landmark transactions through to successful completion. Their deep understanding of the UK renewables sector and investor landscape was instrumental in ensuring both deals progressed efficiently and closed on schedule. It was a pleasure working with the team, whose expertise and commitment helped deliver two fantastic outcomes.” Paul Allam, investment director at Low Carbon
“It was a pleasure dealing with you on the Dalquhandy sale. It’s not often I have been able to say that. Your responsiveness and attention to detail resulted in a smooth well managed transaction. Thank you very much. ” Alex Lambie, CEO, Brockwell Energy
“PKF Francis Clark provided valuable support throughout the transaction, helping us identify opportunities to grow our exposure to the wind sector. Their experience and ability to deliver a full scope of commercial, financial and tax advice was a real asset. ” Charlie Wright, Investment Director, Foresight Group
“We have a long, successful relationship with the PKF Francis Clark team. Having a senior, trusted advisory team throughout the transaction ensured we secured engagement with key investors in the market. This led to a market leading result which exceeded our expectations. ” Wes Dickson, Non-Executive Director, TCI Renewables
“We chose PKF Francis Clark to be our corporate finance advisor because of their experience in the renewable energy sector, in particular heat pumps. The team’s support and guidance of the management and shareholders of Clade has been excellent throughout the investment process, vindicating that original decision.” Michael Hodgson, FD, Clade
