Powering Growth with Precision
- Region: Europe
- Industry: Energy & Infrastructure
Challenge
A European renewable energy developer was preparing a financing round to expand its battery storage portfolio. But beneath the momentum lay a structural problem: each project sat in a separate SPV, and there was no unified financial model to present a clear, consolidated view of the business.
Investors, understandably, hesitated. Without a credible, audit-ready model that showed the full picture—from the individual assets to the holding company level—it was difficult to assess risk, valuation, or long-term viability. Internally, the team struggled to align on projections, costs, and capital needs.
The client didn’t just need a model builder. They needed someone who understood energy infrastructure finance and could translate technical complexity into investor-ready clarity.
Deliverables
Fintalent deployed a Corporate Finance VP with years of experience in energy and infrastructure transactions. Within weeks, he rebuilt the financial model architecture from the ground up—consolidating multiple SPVs into a coherent DevCo/HoldCo structure that could withstand investor scrutiny.
He worked closely with the client’s CFO and project leads to incorporate real-world assumptions on CapEx, financing, battery degradation, and revenue streams. Just as important, he documented the logic behind the model, making handover and scenario testing seamless for the internal team and future analysts.
What emerged wasn’t just a spreadsheet. It was a tool that told the company’s story in numbers—flexible, defensible, and easy to navigate.
Result
With the new model in hand, the company regained control of the fundraising process. Internal alignment improved, investor conversations accelerated, and the raise progressed with newfound clarity and momentum. The model didn’t just serve as a financial tool; it became a bridge between technical operations, corporate strategy, and capital markets.
Strategic Takeaway: In infrastructure fundraising, the model isn’t an afterthought—it’s the linchpin. Fintalent brings in specialists who don’t just understand Excel formulas, but the strategic logic and investor expectations behind them. That’s what turns a collection of SPVs into a compelling growth story.
