Merbeh Successes

Merbeh Project Successes

Selected mandates that show how Merbeh helps clients and projects move into the right commercial discussions.

Case Study One

Utility-Scale Solar And Storage Opportunity

Client Type: Investment Group
Project Context: Review of a utility-scale solar and battery storage project requiring external participation.
Jurisdictional Scope: UAE and Spain

Point of Friction

The opportunity had a sound commercial basis, though engagement was complicated by several interested parties and by uncertainty around the most suitable route into discussion. A direct approach risked weakening the client's position before a clearer structure had been established.

Merbeh's Role

Merbeh helped assess the fit between the client and the project, identified the most relevant commercial counterparties and supported the opening phase of engagement so that discussions began with stronger context and a more credible basis for progress.

Commercial Result

220 MW solar project and 90 MWh storage component advanced into structured commercial dialogue.
3 priority counterparties brought into the process through managed introductions.
Review and engagement timetable reduced from 14 weeks to 9 weeks.
Client progressed into the next phase with agreed discussion parameters around participation.

Case Study Two

Port-Linked Transport Infrastructure Mandate

Client Type: Industrial Group
Project Context: Evaluation of a port-linked infrastructure project with logistics and distribution relevance.
Jurisdictional Scope: UK and Saudi Arabia

Point of Friction

The project required alignment between operating interests, commercial participation and project-side stakeholders before substantive discussions could move forward. Broad outreach would have created unnecessary noise rather than useful engagement.

Merbeh's Role

Merbeh helped narrow the field of relevant counterparties and supported the route into project-side discussions. We also assisted with the early handling of communications so that the mandate could move on a more focused commercial basis.

Commercial Result

48km infrastructure corridor reviewed for phased participation.
2 operating groups and 1 funding counterparty moved into active discussion.
Initial engagement secured within 7 weeks of mandate launch.
Mandate progressed from preliminary review into a defined diligence pathway.

Case Study Three

Mixed-Use Development With Cross-Border Participation Interest

Client Type: Developer
Project Context: Assessment of a large mixed-use real estate development requiring selective commercial engagement.
Jurisdictional Scope: UAE and Italy

Point of Friction

The development had scale and relevance, though the sponsor needed engagement with the right commercial parties rather than a wide process. Poor sequencing at first contact would have reduced the quality of later discussions and diluted interest.

Merbeh's Role

Merbeh helped identify the most suitable route into the opportunity, filtered the field of relevant counterparties and supported early engagement around participation so that the project could move into discussion on a firmer footing.

Commercial Result

145,000 sq ft mixed-use scheme taken into targeted commercial review.
Counterparty field reduced from 6 possible approaches to 2 active discussions.
Initial project positioning refined ahead of substantive engagement.
Sponsor moved into a clearer participation process with stronger alignment around commercial fit.

Case Study Four

Grid-Support Energy Infrastructure Opportunity

Client Type: Project Sponsor
Project Context: Review of an energy infrastructure project linked to grid support and long-term industrial demand.
Jurisdictional Scope: Germany and the UAE

Point of Friction

The project sat in a technically credible space, though the path into meaningful engagement was unclear. It required a more deliberate sequence of contact between project-side stakeholders and potential participants before commercial discussions could gain momentum.

Merbeh's Role

Merbeh supported the review of the opportunity, mapped the most relevant lines of engagement and assisted with the opening stage of counterparty contact so that the project could be approached with greater precision.

Commercial Result

180 MW grid-support opportunity advanced into active evaluation.
4 stakeholder channels mapped, with 2 identified as commercially viable.
Early-stage outreach focused on the highest-probability engagement route.
Client entered discussions with a clearer basis for next-step assessment and participation review.
