As the energy sector copes with the pressure to transition to greener alternatives, energy producers of all types are considering multiple options to stay in the game – such as debt financing, securitisation, consolidations, acquisitions or a combination of these options.
Traditional fossil fuel producers are dealing with declining revenues and huge levels of debt, while renewables firms struggle to meet ever-evolving capital needs.
Key topics discussed:
- Strategic financing options available to energy firms
- Streamlining and digitising financing processes
- Technologies and tools available to improve deal marketing and due diligence
- Navigating contract and document risk.
