Energy and Renewables

At PwC Ireland, we help clients build a greener, more resilient future by reimagining renewable energy projects and investing in sustainable assets.

Ireland’s energy market is evolving at an unprecedented pace. With ambitious climate goals, we have a unique opportunity to revolutionise our energy system. However, this opportunity comes with challenges. Our dedicated energy transition team, comprising professionals in assurance, consulting, deals, regulation and tax, can help you navigate this rapidly changing environment.

 

Client priorities

Despite the societal and economic opportunities, the energy transition in Ireland faces significant industry challenges. Clients must navigate issues related to financing, routes to market, procurement, corporate structuring and stakeholder engagement. Additionally, entering or exiting investments requires strategic planning to maximise returns and minimise risks.

Financing

Financing energy transition projects in Ireland is challenging due to macroeconomic conditions like inflation and high interest rates. These conditions increase the cost of bids, making complex projects economically demanding. Such projects often need funding from multiple sources, and even minor issues can lead to significant cost overruns. At PwC Ireland, we understand the intricacies of debt markets and financial services. We help clients establish optimal debt syndicates and manage the debt and equity tender process to ensure project viability.
