M&A in Power – Thematic Research
Powered by
All the vital news, analysis, and commentary curated by our industry experts.
In this report, we look at merger and acquisition (M&A) activity in the power sector over the last five years. We have also highlighted potential future takeover targets in the sector, which companies are likely to acquire them, and why.
The global power M&A market remained strong in 2018 with transaction volumes reaching $158bn, the second highest in the last five years. However, the number of deals registered decreased to 622, compared to 651 deals in 2017. As of 2019 year-to-date (YTD), 244 M&A deals were witnessed.
The largest announced M&A deal in the power industry in 2018 was the acquisition of Innogy by E.ON for $52.9bn.
Deals around coal-fired plants, renewables (particularly solar, hydro and wind), and gas fired plants were prominent in M&A activity. Deals featuring renewable energy are expected to set the trend in coming years due to growing awareness of clean energy and desire to meet global targets set by the Paris agreement, leading towards low-carbon emission investments.
Some of the key catalysts driving these financial activities include emergence of new markets, thinning margins, investment in renewable energy, and the shift away from exposure to fossil fuels, mainly coal.
