What You’ll Do

The Intern will join a team of professionals with deep expertise and experience in the infrastructure and energy sectors, gained on complex, high-stakes and sophisticated economic, financial and strategic issues. These issues span five dimensions of expertise in the infrastructure and energy sectors:

Project Finance – FTI Consulting advises on project finance matters in the context of project debt restructuring, capital raising, infrastructure M&A, and sovereign advisory – Examples:

• Advising a group of 10 international lenders on the debt restructuring of a large independent power producer (IPP) in West Africa
• Advising a transmission system operator (TSO) on designing a comprehensive and innovative financial strategy to finance interconnectors connecting offshore wind farms across the North Sea.

Strategy – FTI Consulting advises energy companies and governments on how to position and invest in the decarbonisation of energy systems – Examples:

• Advising an African government on its 10-year gas import strategy, in the context of strong energy demand growth

Dispute – FTI Consulting acts as an independent economic expert in complex and high-stakes disputes to advise tribunals on energy markets issues and the quantification of damages – Examples:

• Assessing the lost profits of a terminated hydropower plant project in Southern Europe in an investment dispute between a power company and the State
• Assessing the economic implications of the determination of the disputed maritime border between two African countries, focusing on offshore oil and gas production

Regulation – FTI Consulting advises energy ministries, regulators and regulated companies on the design and impact of regulatory regimes applicable to electricity, gas, carbon, fuels and related markets – Examples:

• Designing a new, comprehensive, incentive-based regulatory regime for the electricity sector over the next 12 years, in an developing country aiming to further liberalize its electricity sector
• Assessing the quantitative impact of several proposed reforms of the EU’s carbon market on carbon emissions, carbon price, electricity price and investments in future power generation

Transaction – FTI Consulting advises investors and contracting parties on energy asset transactions and long-term energy supply and infrastructure contracts – Examples:

• Conducting commercial due diligence on a French smart meter company for a potential international acquirer
• Negotiating a 25-year Power Purchase Agreement for a new 400 MW power plant for the Energy Ministry of an African country

The intern will be based at FTI Consulting's central Paris office, with sporadic international travels if permitted. The intern will work within focused teams, supervised by senior professionals who will help frame analyses and transfer their expertise to help the Intern develop his/her industry understanding and analytical skills.
