Report Highlights
In May, M&A, private equity and venture finance deals in the energy and
utilities sector saw a marked reduction in activity. As the effects of the
' credit crunch' take their toll on global market sentiment, not to mention
liquidity and cost of finance, investors have continued to shift their focus
towards the burgeoning renewables sector.
M&A activity in the upstream energy segment recorded an increase of 20% in
volume terms over the six month average

advancements, political will and government subsidies. Market players are all
