With the worldwide population expected to hit 9 billion by 2040 and urbanisation rates projected to be at 63% in the same time frame, global energy demand is set to grow. Locally, there is a mismatch between the country’s population growth and its energy capability. With the 2015 energy crisis still fresh in mind, both the government and private sector are increasingly seeing the value of investing in the energy sector. There is therefore need for transactional legal advice to enable the investors steer through the complexities of the energy regime. At Gill & Seph, we advise on a wide array of energy-related issues including:

  • Energy infrastructure financing.
  • Energy trading (Power Purchase Agreements).
  • Energy dispute resolutions.
  • Energy regulatory and compliance matters.

  • Infrastructure financing.
