Experience

Lorenz Wieshammer is a regulatory and energy economist with a strong background in finance. He advises utilities, investors, regulators, and other government authorities in the energy, water, transport, and telecommunications sectors. He provides analytical answers to complex infrastructure regulation and infrastructure financing questions, with a geographic focus on Western and Central Europe.

Mr. Wieshammer’s expertise in financial analyses and modelling, as evidenced by his Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA) qualification, allows him to regularly submit expert reports to arbitral tribunals, courts, and regulatory commissions on damage quantification and business valuation.

Over the last eight years, Mr. Wieshammer has supported regulatory authorities and infrastructure operators in Switzerland, Germany, Austria, the Czech Republic, France, Sweden, Belgium, Luxembourg, and the Netherlands in designing regulatory frameworks, including estimating the cost of capital and efficiency benchmarking scores.
