Private Equity Investment in Electric Infrastructure
Research Reports International, September 2008, Pages: 45
The 1st Edition of Research Reports International's Private Equity Investment in Electric Infrastructure report is a 45-page overview of the recent trend towards private equity investment in electric infrastructure and the impact that it is having on the industry.
The need for large amounts of capital to build out electric infrastructure combined with financial missteps by utilities has created an opening for private equity funds to buy electric assets and whole utilities. These transactions are changing the structure of the electric industry and creating regulatory and economic issues. A major objective of this report is to provide readers with an understanding of the current state of private equity investing in electric infrastructure and the impact it is having.
The report provides an overview of what private equity is and why it is needed. Differences between private and publicly held companies are discussed. Three types of private equity are identified - mezzanine, venture capital, and buyouts. The report then discusses the advantages and disadvantages of private equity as compared to other funding sources.
Next the report discusses private equity in relation to electric infrastructure and why investors are putting their money into infrastructure projects and vertically-integrated utilities. The question of whether private equity is good for the electric industry is also examined. The report then shifts to a discussion on regulating private equity transactions including the lack of financial information and whether or not buyouts result in a divergence between public and private interests. Finally, the report profiles key private equity firms that are investing in electric infrastructure and utilities. Each profile includes a company overview, a description of specific funds created to invest in electric infrastructure, and a summary of major electric infrastructure-related transactions.
