Energy Transition & ESG

Legal Support for Sustainable Energy, Climate Action & ESG-Driven Investment

Ewelukwa Legal offers strategic legal counsel to clients navigating Nigeria’s evolving energy transition and Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) frameworks. Our services empower public and private sector actors—renewable energy developers, Independent Power Producers (IPPs), oil & gas firms, development finance institutions, and investors—to align their projects with global climate goals and national sustainability mandates.

We advise on Just Energy Transition Plans (JETPs), integration of renewables, and climate-aligned regulatory frameworks. Our legal support enables clients to comply with the Paris Agreement, Nigeria’s Climate Change Act, and the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), while attracting ESG-aligned finance.

We help structure carbon market transactions, green bonds, and climate finance instruments—ensuring that emissions reductions are bankable, verifiable, and legally compliant. For clean energy projects, we provide contract negotiation, risk advisory, local content compliance, and regulatory approvals across solar, wind, hydro, hydrogen, and battery systems.

On the ESG front, we build credible legal frameworks for sustainability reporting, ethical investing, corporate disclosures, and fiduciary ESG obligations. We support sustainability risk management for mergers, acquisitions, infrastructure development, and climate governance within organizations.

Whether transitioning from diesel to renewables, entering carbon markets, or embedding ESG into operations, our legal advisory de-risks projects, unlocks funding, and strengthens stakeholder trust.
