Energy Technologies
Storage, grid technology, efficiency and generation businesses with contracted revenue and permits.
How We Read This Sector
Energy technology spans technology licensors, equipment manufacturers and project developers. Each has a distinct risk profile, and companies that blend all three require particularly careful presentation of where revenue actually originates.
What We Examine
Five areas that carry disproportionate weight in this sector.
Business model
Whether the company licenses technology, sells equipment or develops and owns projects.
Offtake and PPAs
Power purchase agreements or offtake contracts, their counterparties, terms and duration.
Permitting and interconnection
Grid connection status, queue position and permitting timeline for any project assets.
Subsidy dependency
Reliance on tax credits, feed-in tariffs or grant programmes, and the effect of their withdrawal.
Project financing
Existing project debt, its recourse, and how it consolidates onto a public balance sheet.
Where Companies in This Sector Get Caught
Project-level financing structures can be complex and are often held in special-purpose vehicles. Establishing how those vehicles consolidate, and what obligations follow them, is central to any assessment in this sector.
Sector Fit Is the Starting Point, Not the Test
Beyond sector-specific factors, every company is assessed against the same conditions: a verifiable asset, documented ownership, auditable financial reporting, management capable of operating a public company, and a budget to fund preparation.
