Utility & Power Generation Company Valuation

American Appraisal offers unrivaled experience across all sectors and stages of distribution - around the world.

Regulatory issues, new legislative acts, economic realities and competitive concerns are producing a surge of restructuring activities and consolidation within the utility & power generation industry - all around the globe.  Consequently, we are seeing the establishment of regulated "wires and pipe" businesses; an increase in competitive retail/wholesale marketing; and the outright sale of competitive generation and transmission assets.
