Abstract

After the 1970s, the reorganization of the markets at the global level has been overwhelmed by the financial logic of investment in a setting characterized by expansion of institutional investors. Within this framework, the private equity funds’ investment strategies turn out to focus on short-term profits. Besides, these funds have enhanced the expansion of new business models where the process of strategic disinvestment is part of the financial management. Considering this background, this paper addresses that the evolution of the current global business environment in the energy sector has been attached to the new financial and business dynamics where private-equity funds are relevant to apprehend the recent investment and disinvestment trends in renewables.
