Asset valuation

USAENE lleva a cabo valoración de activos de acuerdo con los procedimientos internacionales, trabajando en estrecha coordinación con los expertos y analistas. Nos aseguramos de forma continua del monitoreo de las condiciones económicas y de mercado con el fin de determinar el valor de los activos y las variables relevantes. Estos análisis proporcionan una evaluación imparcial y fiable de activos para la toma de decisiones adecuada.
Dentro de los análisis específicos que USAENE realiza en este campo están:

Decommissioning cost assessment

The decommissioning of a generation plant can occur for various reasons, some examples are the end of the useful life of the plant, the closure of the generation business due to strategic or economic business decisions, or even environmental or judicial decisions that so decree.

For this purpose, USAENE is able to develop a methodology and determine the provisions for decommissioning costs of a generation plant, which correspond to the costs incurred by the company to dismantle, remove and/or rehabilitate the area where the unit or units of the plant currently operate.

Appraisals of generation assets

In the appraisals we determine the valuation and useful life for each of the components (assets or equipment) of a generation plant up to the taxonomy level required by the client, carrying out the inventory survey in accordance with international standards for the appraisal of assets.
