The UK’s energy sector is undergoing the most significant structural transformation in a generation.

The rapid expansion of renewable production, growing demand for battery storage, heat decarbonisation, and the increasing complexity of energy offtake and revenue arrangements are creating both substantial opportunity and material financial risk for developers, investors, and energy users alike.

QMPF is an independent financial adviser with deep expertise across the energy sector. Our team works across the full project lifecycle, from early-stage options appraisal and financial modelling through to fundraising, transaction execution, and sale processes.

We work with a broad range of clients including private developers, institutional investors, local authorities, community energy organisations, and corporate energy users seeking to reduce their exposure to grid electricity prices and meet sustainability commitments. Our role is to provide rigorous, independent advice.

Our clients value our understanding and experience of the full range of funding structures available to energy projects, associated revenue and offtake structures al in the context of an evolving regulatory and policy environment across Great Britain and Ireland.

In recent years, we have:
