New industry analysis details transaction multiples, private equity activity, and strategic buyer momentum across oil & gas, renewables, and power infrastructure
-- MergersAndAcquisitions.net today announced the release of its latest industry research report, Energy & Power Mergers and Acquisitions, offering a comprehensive analysis of transaction activity, valuation trends, and capital deployment strategies across the energy value chain.
The report examines mergers and acquisitions spanning traditional oil and gas, midstream and downstream infrastructure, renewable energy platforms, power generation assets, and emerging energy technologies. Drawing on publicly available transaction data, industry filings, and advisory market insights, the report outlines how shifting capital markets conditions, energy transition initiatives, and private equity liquidity cycles are reshaping deal structures in 2025.
According to the study, energy and power assets continue to attract both strategic acquirers and financial sponsors seeking stable cash flows, infrastructure-backed returns, and long-term inflation hedges. At the same time, elevated interest rates and commodity price volatility have increased scrutiny around leverage levels, working capital assumptions, and integration risk.
“Energy remains one of the most capital-intensive and strategically important sectors in the global economy,” said Ryan Schwab, Managing Director at MergersAndAcquisitions.net. “What we’re seeing is a bifurcation in the market. High-quality, scalable platforms with predictable EBITDA are commanding strong multiples, while subscale or operationally complex assets are facing more disciplined underwriting.”
The report highlights several key themes:
- Continued consolidation among independent power producers and regional utility operators
- Private equity-backed roll-ups in energy services and field operations
- Increased strategic acquisitions of renewable portfolios and storage assets
- Greater use of structured capital, including seller notes, earnouts, and minority recapitalizations
- Heightened diligence around regulatory exposure, environmental liabilities, and long-term offtake agreements
The study also explores valuation dynamics across subsectors. Infrastructure-like assets with long-term contracted revenue streams are often trading at materially different multiples than exploration and production businesses exposed to commodity cycles. Buyers are increasingly structuring transactions to balance risk allocation between sellers and capital providers.
Schwab noted that capital stack design has become a defining factor in closing transactions. “In today’s environment, the ability to structure senior debt, mezzanine capital, and equity in a disciplined way can determine whether a deal gets done. Sponsors and strategic acquirers alike are focusing on downside protection and debt service coverage,” he said.
Beyond transaction data, the report outlines operational considerations for prospective buyers, including:
- Integration of legacy and renewable asset portfolios
- Supply chain resilience in equipment and turbine components
- Workforce retention in technical and field-based roles
- Exposure to federal and state regulatory policy shifts
As global demand for reliable and diversified energy sources increases—driven in part by data center growth, electrification trends, and AI-related power consumption—the energy and power sector remains central to long-term infrastructure investment strategies.
