London Infrastructure and Energy Financial Modelling Services

Infrastructure and energy finance runs deep in London, from the lenders and advisors who structure global transactions to the secondary market that trades them. The city is home to the deepest pool of project finance lenders, the most active secondary market for infrastructure assets, and the advisory community that structures transactions from West Africa to Southeast Asia. Domestically, the UK’s energy transition is generating a sustained pipeline of offshore wind, solar, battery storage and interconnector projects, while the government’s infrastructure ambitions across transport, water and digital connectivity continue to drive PPP and regulated asset activity. For North Sea investors and operators, the financing of late-life assets, decommissioning obligations and energy transition plays adds a further layer of complexity.

In this environment, the quality of financial analysis is not a differentiator, it is a baseline requirement. Our team at Forvis Mazars works with sponsors, lenders, investors and advisors active in London and across the UK to develop, audit and stress-test financial models that meet that standard, and to train the teams responsible for building them, from early development through to financial close and beyond.

Financial model development for London-based sponsors, lenders and advisors

The transactions structured through London span the full complexity spectrum — from straightforward CfD-backed renewables through to multi-tranche North Sea financings and regulated asset base transactions with decades-long revenue visibility. We build models that reflect that complexity from first principles, tailored to the specific commercial, offtake and financing structure of each deal.

• Offshore and onshore wind, solar and hybrid renewable energy projects
• Battery storage and co-located renewables, including merchant and capacity market revenue stacking
• PPP and PFI transactions across transport, healthcare, education and social infrastructure
• Regulated asset base models for water, energy networks and similar structures
• North Sea oil and gas, including late-life acquisitions and decommissioning modelling
• Digital infrastructure including data centres, fibre and tower financing models
• Portfolio and fund-level models for infrastructure investors and asset managers

Independent model audit and review for London transactions

We provide award-winning model audit services to lenders, sponsors and investors on UK and international transactions structured through London. Our methodology is rigorous, structured and designed to integrate with transaction timelines rather than disrupt them — an important distinction in a market where lender workstreams routinely run in parallel and timelines are tight.

• Independent model audit for project finance lenders
• Sponsor-side model review and pre-close assurance
• Validation against financing documentation, base case assumptions and technical adviser inputs
• Risk identification, bankability assessment and findings resolution

Ongoing model support for UK infrastructure and energy assets

London’s active secondary market and refinancing pipeline means models frequently need to evolve well beyond financial close. Our valuation and advisory team supports clients through refinancings, regulatory resets, acquisition processes and operational updates, maintaining model integrity across the asset lifecycle.

• Model restructuring for refinancing, change of control or regulatory reset
• Acquisition and secondary market modelling
• Operational variance and performance analysis
• Scenario and sensitivity analysis for portfolio management
