Power Project Development

From Feasibility to Financial Close—and Beyond

Integrated Legal Support Across the Entire Energy Infrastructure Lifecycle—Empowering Developers, Investors, Governments, and Donors from Early-Stage Feasibility to Post-Commissioning Success.

At Ewelukwa Legal, we deliver comprehensive legal support throughout the energy project lifecycle—helping developers, investors, governments, and donors navigate Nigeria’s evolving electricity landscape with clarity and confidence. From early feasibility to post-commissioning compliance, we provide the legal foundation for projects to succeed commercially and regulatorily.

Our services begin at the pre-investment stage, where we conduct legal risk assessments, land and title reviews, and regulatory due diligence to determine project viability. We develop tailored Go/No-Go legal memos to support board-level decision-making and reduce exposure to early-stage pitfalls.

We then support clients in structuring & licensing—establishing SPVs or JVs, navigating licensing requirements under both national and sub-national regimes, and aligning with ESG and donor standards. We engage directly with regulators such as the Nigerian Electricity Regulatory Commission (NERC), and state electricity commissions to secure approvals and compliance.

For transaction advisory, we guide clients through legal due diligence, contract negotiation (Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs), Gas Supply Agreements (GSAs), Engineering Procurement and Construction (EPC) Contracts, Operation & Maintenance Agreements), and structuring of blended finance and credit enhancement tools—ensuring projects are bankable and finance-ready.

Beyond execution, our contract management and dispute resolution services help track contractual performance, breach and remedies, renegotiate outdated terms, and resolve conflicts through mediation, arbitration, or litigation.

We also support policy and regulatory reform, helping shape market rules, drafting legislation, and facilitating public-private dialogue to promote investment-ready legal environments.

Our Value to Clients:

• Align projects with Nigeria’s dual-layer electricity regime

• Ensure legal soundness, bankability, and regulatory compliance

• De-risk investment with thorough legal frameworks

• Resolve disputes and enforce contracts effectively

• Access ESG-aligned and donor-compliant financing
