PPA Analyst - Internship

1) Company description

Finergreen is a boutique investment bank dedicated to the energy transition with in-depth expertise in M&A and complex financing. Founded in 2013, the company now operates around the world through 12 offices with more than 90 collaborators in total, of which 25 are based in Madrid.

Back in January 2022 Finergreen launched a new scope of services, the Offtake Advisory.

This new scope of services is complementing and enhancing the M&A and Project Finance practices already offered by Finergreen for renewables markets globally. With this new activity Finergreen can link the financial world including banks, funds, and investors; to the commodities world, including utilities, traders, and corporates who discuss long-term offtake agreements with developers for different commodities such as PPAs, Biogas, BESS, biofuels, or carbon.

Finergreen aims at accelerating the development of such long-term offtake agreements giving visibility to investors on the profitability of investments into renewable and nature-based projects over the long-term.

With a strong track record of working with family businesses and entrepreneurs but also with large and international financial institutions, Finergreen is a recognized advisor in the industry while remaining true to the entrepreneurial spirit that was at its inception.
