While each due diligence engagement is dependent on the specific industry segment, the following represents a sample of the commercial due diligence work we have performed recently for the power and utility industry:

• Transmission services company – We developed risk based value assessment models to determine the expected free cash flow for various business scenarios related to the acquisition of an international transmission services company.
   

• Purchased power agreements – Our people worked with management to develop a detailed stochastic financial, market, and operational analysis model for purchased power agreements (PPA) offered as a part of the acquisition of a generation facility.
