About The Company
Infrastructure deals are getting faster. The model used by most project finance advisory firms isn’t. Most firms sell you a brand name, then hand the work to a junior team in a regional silo. At Gridlines, the team we pitch to you is the team you get. That means a global-first, senior-led execution engine designed for the speed of 2026 project finance - from day one to financial close. We are a global-first project finance advisory and modelling firm. We don’t staff based on who is in the local office; we deploy the best talent from our global pool to match the specific demands of your deal. With over $130B in transactions supported, we provide institutional-grade rigour without the friction of the "Big Firm" hierarchy. We bridge the gap between complex strategy and spreadsheet execution. Whether you are navigating a renewable energy transition or a large-scale infra bid, our senior-led teams stay "inside the model" to ensure your commercial strategy actually holds up under lender scrutiny. WHAT WE DO: - Transaction Advisory: Strategic structuring, debt advisory, and bid support for M&A and PPPs. We move you from "thinking" to "closing." - Valuations: Real-time asset valuation for BESS, Hydrogen, and Energy Transition portfolios. - Model build: Audit-grade financial models built to the FAST standard - Model Audit: Ranked #3 globally (Inframation - 2025 by deal count), we’re trusted by the world’s leading lenders. SECTOR EXPERTISE: Renewables & Energy Transition (Solar, Wind, BESS, Hydrogen) Infrastructure (Aviation, Transport, Social Infra, PPPs) Utilities (Water, Desalination, Waste-to-Energy) WHO TRUSTS US: Trusted by the architects of global infrastructure: DIF | Masdar | Equitix | The World Bank | EDF | Ofgem | TotalEnergies | Engie | CIP NEXT STEP: If you're tired of advisory "layers" and want direct access to the experts structuring your next $500M+ close, get in touch today for a free consultation. www.gridlines.com/contact-us
