Electric Utility Mergers and Acquisitions
Mergers and acquisitions involving electric generating facilities typically require approval from federal, and in some cases state, regulators. Analysis Group has provided advice and analyses involving a large number of such transactions. These analyses have involved, among other things, assessing the potential for a transaction to have anticompetitive impacts, designing appropriate mitigation measures to address any such transaction-created anticompetitive impact and, as appropriate, developing expert witness testimony and other material for filing with federal and state regulators.
In addition, Analysis Group has advised electric suppliers in considering other regulatory issues relating to mergers. We have also provided competitive analyses involving the restructuring of assets as part of bankruptcy proceedings.
Our clients in these transaction-related activities have included numerous major suppliers including Ameren, Constellation/EDF, Exelon, FirstEnergy, MidAmerican, PacifiCorp, PSEG and Southern.
