Roll-Up : The Past, Present, and Future of Utilities Consolidation Hardback

An insiders' guide to everything interested readers need to know about the ongoing consolidation of the utilities industry. Roll-Up delves into the rich history of utilities consolidation-from the original, highly fragmented US industry structure, through the development of industry views on consolidation and participation, to the drivers and events occurring in the cycles of the modern era.

Roll-Up also explores the changing motivations for combinations, the hands-on perspectives of successful transactions, and gives a glimpse into what could happen next for utility mergers and acquisitions. Expert utilities consultant Tom Flaherty interviewed twelve current or former chief executive officers, investment bankers, attorneys, and ratings analysts who provided introspection and commentary on their experiences with consolidation in the modern era from 1995-2020.

These notable individuals made the tough decisions about whether to pursue a transaction, and they provided constant advice to management, crafted merger agreements, and evaluated the logic of transactions and the potential for successful outcomes. From deal execution to the current nature of business simplification and portfolio rationalization, Roll-Up covers the past and present of utilities consolidation and looks over the horizon at how future transactions might evolve beyond those seen today.
