Sectors
Renewable energy
Tunisia, Algeria and West Africa are expanding their solar and wind capacity. We handle the legal side of projects for developers, investors and industrial partners.
What we do
- Authorisation, concession and self-generation regimes under Tunisia's 2015 renewable energy law
- Power purchase agreements and relations with the public utility
- EPC, operation and maintenance contracts
- Project companies and partner agreements
- Land, environmental permits and site security
- Project-related disputes and arbitration
Questions our clients ask
- A solar developer must choose between self-generation and a concession: what are the consequences?
- The regime determines who buys the electricity, the authorisation procedure, and the term and guarantees of the sales contract. We compare the options against the project's financial model before the application is filed.
- An investor is buying into an existing project company: what should be checked?
- Permits and whether they can be transferred, land rights, the power purchase agreement, EPC and O&M contracts, and change-of-control clauses that may require the consent of the public utility or the lenders.
