In the US, market was on fire for renewables and everybody had good deal flow at the peak. 
 

you’ll see things simmer down - Jefferies (Dolezal), BAML, and Lazard have the longest running top power groups - deal flow and exits. Evercore and Guggenheim will probably still be solid. Citi is good too. 
 

CIBC is only relevant for PF - not power M&A

WF / TD / DB all are weak at power in the US (M&A). Marathon in Chicago isn’t strong - they always take small deals nobody else wants. Japanese banks are mostly PF.

 

What sort of exits do you see people doing after working in renewables coverage? You think the move away from renewable energy under the new administration will hamper deal flow?

 

Yep one to Gugg and one to Solomon Partners as well the head of the group (now in some random partner role at EIP). Deal flow is solid from a quantity perspective but probably some of the larger renewable infrastructure deals are gonna be done elsewhere. Lazard, Gugg, MS all good for P&U coverage (basically includes renewables infra). I think Lazard is probably the best.

For the techier stuff, not really sure - Greentech has good battery presence which is one element of the transition but “renewables” is a cross-coverage industry at most shops.
