New opportunities and the valuation of energy assets

Abstract: When the Coalition Government came to power in 2010, it was very keen to support the emerging renewable energy market to reduce CO2 emissions to comply with world and European directives. To boost the market, large financial incentives were introduced. These have virtually disappeared, but there are now a large number of energy assets that require specialist valuation work. A new ‘smart’ grid system is being introduced, replacing the old coal and nuclear power stations with a rapidly emerging market in energy storage, using battery and short term operating reserve (STOR) technology. This can supply power into the grid in a fraction of a second and ideally complement the intermittent power from renewable projects.
