Due diligence of production and transmission facilities

Why is due diligence needed?

Due diligence of energy production and transmission facilities is an important service for assessing environmental risks and compliance before acquisition, development, or major operational changes. Due diligence helps our clients identify potential environmental liabilities, contamination, or non-compliance issues linked to production or transmission sites. Early detection reduces risks related to legal penalties, cleanup costs, project delays, or reputational damage. It supports informed decision-making and responsible investment.

DGE has delivered due diligence assessments across numerous European production and transmission sites, supporting investors and operators to identify risks, verify compliance, and ensure robust transaction decisions.

Key elements of due diligence

• Review of historical site data, permits, and known contamination records.
• Site inspections and environmental sampling to assess current conditions.
• Evaluation of regulatory compliance status and risks.
• Reporting that summarizes findings, risk levels, and recommendations for remediation or further investigation.
