Energy and Utilities
Background
Our comprehensive solutions for the energy and utilities sector cover areas such as renewable energy, energy efficiency, power generation, and utility management. We help businesses navigate the evolving energy landscape, optimize operations, and drive sustainable practices.
Africa's energy transition is one of the most capital-intensive transformational opportunities on the continent. From independent power producer (IPP) projects under REIPPP and equivalent programmes in other African markets, to utility-scale battery storage, distributed solar, and grid infrastructure upgrades - the energy sector requires sophisticated, multi-instrument capital structures that combine DFI concessional tranches, commercial debt, mezzanine financing, and equity investment.
EcoSol's Energy & Utilities transaction advisory practice is built around a deep understanding of the regulatory frameworks, offtake agreement structures, lender technical requirements, and impact capital mandates that govern energy sector financing. We advise project sponsors, developers, and utilities on capital structuring, project finance modelling, investment memorandum preparation, and funder engagement across the full project lifecycle - from pre-feasibility to financial close.
