Global Clean Energy M&A Volume
There were 86 M&A transactions in Q2 2011, of which 31 deals were disclosed for a total of $13 billion. This deal total was down compared to 140 transactions totaling $15.2 billion in Q1 2011. While this quarters figures may on the surface represent a slowing of momentum in the M&A markets, we think the downward adjustment was more a function of the robustness of the Q1 2011 activity and that the Q2 2011 numbers indicate more of a steady state environment. *** Michael Butler is the CEO and co-founder of Cascadia Capital.
