Transaction Due Diligence

Five workstreams across land, planning, grid, market and commercial risk — reported as one integrated view of whether a development-stage project is worth acquiring.

Built for the mid-stage asset

The hardest projects to price are the ones part-way through development: land tied up but not fully secured, a planning pathway with conditions still to come, a connection application in the queue, and a revenue case resting on a price curve someone else built.

Our report covers all five dimensions and, more usefully, tells you how they interact — because the risk that kills a project is rarely confined to one workstream.

How we differ

  • The market workstream runs on our own dispatch model and price forecasts, not a purchased curve.
  • Legal and engineering qualifications in-house, so land, contract and connection questions are read by someone qualified to read them.
  • One integrated report with a single investment recommendation, not five separate advisor reports for you to reconcile.
  • Indicative delivery in six weeks from data room access.

Scope

Five workstreams, one report

Each workstream has a defined boundary. We state what is excluded up front so there is no ambiguity about what you are buying.

01

Land

Tenure review, option and lease agreements, easements and encumbrances, third-party access dependencies, and environmental constraints on the site.

Not included: native title searches, crown land implications, landholder negotiations, mortgagee consents.

02

Planning

Development approval pathway, planning conditions and the risk attached to modifications, community engagement position, and an assessment of the timeline to financial close.

Not included: attendance at council meetings or with planning authorities, formal regulatory advice.

03

Grid

Connection application status, review of the project's grid model, connection agreement terms, augmentation costs and benchmarking of those costs against comparable connections.

Not included: economic curtailment forecasts, marginal loss factor forecasts.

04

Market

Wholesale price outlook from our own model, revenue cannibalisation analysis for the specific location and technology, certificate revenue, peer benchmarking and scenario sensitivities.

Optional scope: assessment of PPA and firming structures is quoted separately.

05

Commercial & Risk Overview

Cost structure review, consolidated risk register, bankability gap analysis, counterparty risk, and an investment recommendation drawing the four preceding workstreams together.

Fees

Due diligence is quoted as a fixed fee per project, with a discount on subsequent projects in the same programme and payment split between engagement and delivery. We will quote on scope — ask us.
