Asset Valuation

Investing in hydropower means either buying existing assets or developing projects. If the decision is to buy existing assets, then specific know-how is needed to assess all opportunities and threads related to the chosen hydropower schemes. A special focus must be set, not only on technical issues such as defective conditions, upgrading or rehabilitation potential and life expectancy, but also on economic issues, such as electricity price forecasts, market conditions and financial plant evaluation.

Pöyry combines technical and economical skills to offer you a full range of services, such as:

• Technical due diligence
• Rehabilitation assessments
• Upgrading and operational improvement analysis
• Electricity price forecasting
• Asset valuation
• Reports on economic return

Delivering sound reports on asset valuation requires an in-depth understanding of hydropower principles. We involve more than just economists - we also regularly mobilise hydrologists, geologists, structural experts, dam engineers as well as electrical and hydro-mechanical engineers.

We aim to give added value through finding hidden opportunities and, where suitable, upgrading possibilities.
