Biography
Former Valuation Lead at the VOA, Michael Rowbottom heads up Dunlop Heywood’s thriving Energy, Renewables and Battery Storage Division.
Michael has more than 30 years’ global experience in the energy & renewables sectors having worked on various mining projects in Africa and Europe at the start of his career, returning to the UK take up work in the opencast coal industry.
A move to join the mineral valuers at the Valuation Office Agency followed where he undertook rating valuations for a wide range of minerals, as well as landfill and brickworks. His remit also covered preparation of mining subsidence reports and mineral valuation work for tax cases.
He later moved to the VOA Utilities Rating Team which coincided with the growth in green energy and, having worked on both hydro-electric schemes and wind farms, he became Lead Valuer for Renewables. He was also heavily involved in fossil fuel and nuclear valuations.
Michael specialises in the valuation for rating of all forms of energy and storage assets, industrial properties and minerals extraction.
