PROJECTS AND ENERGY
Garane & Somane Advocates is a top choice for the strategic development and financing of multi-billion shilling infrastructure and energy projects across East Africa. The firm’s Projects team is led by partners with deep institutional insights, including experience within the national Public-Private Partnership (PPP) landscape. This unique vantage point allows the firm to guide international sponsors, developers, and government entities through the full project lifecycle from complex technical structuring and bankability assessments under the PPP Act 2021 to the negotiation of high-value Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs). The firm is particularly adept at navigating Kenya’s regulatory recalibration, providing elite counsel on renewable energy initiatives, large-scale housing construction, and the entry of private firms into newly liberalized electricity markets. By blending technical rigour with a forward-thinking approach to risk management, Garane & Somane Advocates ensures that even the most capital-intensive projects achieve financial close and operational resilience in a shifting regulatory landscape.
