Call-prep brief

Background

Enrique covers European renewables M&A from Madrid. Meaning he has line-of-sight on every meaningful Iberian and Italian renewable transaction, and on cross-Atlantic flows where European majors sell U.S. assets or vice versa.

What he cares about

  • Iberian solar and Italian / Greek renewables. The most active European M&A theaters.
  • Carve-outs from majors (Iberdrola, Repsol, Enel, Naturgy).
  • Infrastructure-fund cross-border flow (e.g., InfraVia, Macquarie, EQT into Iberian renewables).

Sensitivities

  • European deal-flow has different rhythms. Be sensitive to August / Christmas closure windows.
  • Mid-market in Europe often means EUR 200-500M equity tickets, different from U.S. mid-market sizing.

Questions to ask

  1. Which Iberian renewable-IPP carve-outs are most likely to come to market in the next 12-18 months?
  2. How is European mid-market valuation diverging from U.S. comps post-IRA?
  3. Which U.S. mid-market sponsors are most active in European renewables auctions today?

Hi Enrique, I lead clean-energy investing at [Firm]. We're sizing our European renewable-IPP appetite; particularly Iberian and Italian flow, and your coverage out of Madrid is the most informed view in the market.
