Strategic investors and energy companies are increasingly acquiring renewable assets—such as wind, solar, and battery storage projects—to meet sustainability targets and regulatory requirements.

At the same time, traditional oil and gas players are diversifying their portfolios through acquisitions in green energy to remain competitive in a rapidly evolving energy landscape.

Private equity and infrastructure funds are also heavily involved, attracted by the long-term growth potential and stable returns of renewable assets.

Private equity and infrastructure funds are actively investing in ESG-compliant assets, viewing them as both a risk mitigation strategy and a source of long-term value. As ESG factors become central to investment decisions, M&A activity in this space is expected to continue rising, reshaping the energy landscape for a low-carbon future.

As technology advances and climate policies tighten, M&A activity is expected to remain a critical strategy for scaling clean energy capacity and accelerating the global energy transition.

Following the recommendation of my accountancy firm, I contacted Cognos France for the sale of MG Habitat. I particularly appreciated the professional and human approach, the fluidity of exchanges and the defence of my interests throughout the process. Cognos France really played its role as advisor from the beginning to the end of the assignment by being a source of proposals and solutions! Monty Godfrey, Managing Director of MG Habitat
