What I'm looking for

I want to continue advising lenders and investors with lender-grade technical assessments for renewables and storage, helping de-risk projects from development through construction while translating engineering assumptions into bankable recommendations.

I’m an Energy Consultant at G-advisory (Garrigues Group), advising lenders, investors, and sponsors on technical due diligence for project-finance and M&A transactions across wind, solar PV, BESS, cogeneration, and CCGT assets. I bring deep wind advisory experience across development and operational portfolios, including repowering and overpowering, with detailed support for wind-resource and energy-yield assessments and long-term production estimates.

I also guide projects through construction by acting as a Lenders Technical Advisor—monitoring physical and financial progress, reviewing drawdown requests and eligible costs, and issuing lender-focused progress and drawdown certificates. Previously, I worked as a Regulatory and Power Systems Engineer at Lightsource BP, where I tracked regulatory developments across EMEA markets and performed PowerFactory studies for reactive-power analysis and transformer sizing, supporting technical optimization across PV, BESS, and wind.
