Financial restructuring for an industry shaped by regulation, commodity cycles, and capital intensity.
Energy companies face financial distress driven by commodity price volatility, regulatory shifts, and capital structures that can't absorb market downturns. Lighthouse has served as receiver and restructuring advisor for wind farms, biomass facilities, and LNG operations, managing complex dispositions that have yielded over $225 million in recovery.
Energy assets don't wait for a restructuring to finish. Permits expire, equipment degrades, and offtake agreements have deadlines. We manage the financial crisis while preserving the operational and regulatory standing that drives asset value.
Appointed as receiver over a renewable energy power plant.
Challenge: A 55 megawatt poultry litter and other biomass fueled electric generating facility had ceased operations but had significant potential value for future operations and recovery for creditors.
The Solve: Lighthouse was appointed as receiver and was able to procure investments for a turnkey sale process.
The Outcome: Lighthouse executed an expedited sale process resulting in a sale of assets and operations for consideration totaling $225 million.
How we handle energy sector engagements.
1. Asset & Regulatory Assessment: We evaluate the full scope of energy assets — generation capacity, permits, power purchase agreements, interconnection rights, and environmental obligations — to determine both value and risk.
2. Stakeholder Alignment: We coordinate with lenders, equity holders, offtake counterparties, and regulatory bodies to build consensus around a realistic restructuring or disposition strategy.
3. Operational Preservation: We maintain plant operations, environmental compliance, and contractual obligations during the restructuring process — protecting the value that buyers and investors are underwriting.
4. Disposition & Recovery: We manage asset sales through targeted processes designed for energy-specific buyers, achieving valuations that reflect the full value of permits, contracts, and operational infrastructure.
The best outcomes start with early action.
