Advisory and Managed Services
A Complete Suite of Project Acquisition, Development and Management Services
ArcStar provides investment and acquisition advisory and transaction management services including investment valuation, due diligence and managed transaction closing services to project owners, equity investors, lenders and asset operators.

An energy generation plant is a long-term asset investment. Initial decisions regarding the site, the system and the investment structure have long-term consequences. ArcStar's expertise, sophisticated financial tools and investment-grade methodologies ensure maximum energy production and investment returns over the 30+ year life of these assets.

Site Quality and Control: The Foundation of all Energy Projects
Whether acquiring sites for development or investing in an operating asset, the quality of the site and the quality of the site control agreements are equally critical to the ultimate success and asset value of the project, its cost of capital and the return to the investor.

This is true in both utility scale and commercial renewable energy projects. Excelling in this core component of renewable energy services requires not only specialized technical, legal and financial expertise, but also extensive experience. ArcStar has experience in hundreds of projects throughout the Americas.
