Garrad Hassan advises Alstom in purchasing €350 million manufacturer Ecotècnia

On June 26 2007 Alstom announced its acquisition of the Spanish wind turbine manufacturer Ecotècnia for €350 million. Garrad Hassan Ibérica (together with staff from the UK head office) acted as Alstom’s Adviser on both technical and commercial issues for this acquisition.

Charles Soothill, Vice President Technology, Alstom Power Systems, said

“Garrad Hassan played an important role in the due diligence as Alstom’s Advisor in the transaction.”

Garrad Hassan (GH) advised Alstom on both commercial and technical aspects of the transaction. GH has an unrivalled knowledge of the wind energy market and was able to help Alstom assess Ecotècnia’s position within it. GH provided a detailed evaluation of Ecotècnia engineering, using their experience with both turbine design and global due diligence.

Andrew Garrad CEO of Garrad Hassan Group commented

“I am delighted to see another “big name” join the wind industry. Coming hot on the heels of EdP’s purchase of Horizon in the US (€2.15bn) and the re-leveraging of Babcock and Brown Wind Partners’ global wind farm portfolio (€1.03bn) the Alstom purchase of Ecotecnia represents another milestone for the wind industry in general, and for Garrad Hassan in particular since GH acted as the Technical Advisor on all of these 2007 deals.”
