Each episode dissects a specific transaction, from sourcing to exit, using real numbers, term sheets, and public filings. The show serves founders weighing an offer, analysts building models, and investors tracking the industry. Expect critical discussions on valuation multiples, earnouts, debt covenants, and the cultural friction between PE operators and portfolio-company management. Lucas, a journalist with a decade covering dealmaking, guides the numbers; Luna, an engaged interlocutor, presses on execution risk and founder psychology. Together they ask: What separates a value-destroying roll-up from a platform that compounds for a decade? No hype, no jargon — just the tradecraft of buying and scaling businesses. #PrivateEquity #LBO #RollUp #BuyAndBuild #PE #DueDiligence #Valuation #MergersAndAcquisitions #FamilyBusinessExit #SearchFund #EBITDA #DealSourcing #SMB #BusinessAcquisition #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #Finance #Podcast Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","last_synced_at":"2026-07-19T04:18:12.773861+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630"},"episode":{"title":"How Private Equity Is Buying Up Wind Farms","slug":"how-private-equity-is-buying-up-wind-farms","published_at":"2026-06-19T16:45:42+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/how-private-equity-is-buying-up-wind-farms","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630","url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0062.mp3","audio_url":"https://audio.fexingo.com/business/the-buyout-show/episode-0062.mp3","summary":"In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack the quiet rush of private equity into wind energy—specifically the roll-up of smaller wind farms by a single firm, Greenbacker Capital. With the Production Tax Credit set to phase down after 2026, PE firms are buying up operational wind assets at scale, bundling them into yieldcos, and selling them to institutional investors. Lucas walks through the economics: a typical 50-megawatt wind farm in the Midwest can be acquired for $60-$80 million, generating steady cash flows from long-term power purchase agreements. Luna questions whether the PTC cliff creates a buyer's market or a value trap. They also discuss how this mirrors the earlier consolidation of solar farms, and whether the same roll-up playbook applies to wind. A focused look at the intersection of energy policy and private equity M&A. #PrivateEquity #WindEnergy #GreenbackerCapital #RenewableEnergy #RollUps #YieldCo #ProductionTaxCredit #WindFarms #EnergyInfrastructure #MergersAndAcquisitions #InfrastructureInvestment #PTC #CleanEnergy #Business #Finance #FexingoBusiness #BusinessPodcast #TheBuyoutShow Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo","meta_description":"In this episode, Lucas and Luna unpack the quiet rush of private equity into wind energy—specifically the roll-up of smaller wind farms by a single firm,…","key_points":[],"chapters":[],"topics":[],"duration_seconds":750,"processing_state":"not_requested","actions":[{"name":"request_transcript","method":"POST","url":"https://stenobird.com/v1/public/podcasts/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/episodes/how-private-equity-is-buying-up-wind-farms/transcription-requests","description":"Idempotently request low-priority transcript generation for this episode."},{"name":"read_markdown","method":"GET","url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-buyout-show-with-fexingo-private-equity-roll-ups-and-business-acquisitions-7871630/how-private-equity-is-buying-up-wind-farms.md","description":"Read the agent-friendly Markdown representation of this episode resource."}]}}
