Houda Law has combined with the international law firm Simmons & Simmons to provide the Senegal content for its Clean Energy Tool. The tool provides online access to comprehensive legal and regulatory information that is vital for those looking to develop or invest in a renewable energy project. Detailed information is presented in a standardised Q&A style, with 160 questions covering a wide range of topics including acquisition of land, structuring and finance, green hydrogen, revenue streams, grid access and disputes. This format enables the tool’s cross-jurisdiction comparison function, for subscribers to browse and compare renewable energy frameworks across multiple jurisdictions.

The overall purpose is to provide accurate, consistent and up-to-date information via a user-friendly platform that can streamline decisions for investors and developers across jurisdictions. More than 45 jurisdictions are already covered, with more being added every month. Content is created through Simmons & Simmons’ collaboration with best-in-class local counsel in over 60 countries across Africa, Asia, Europe, Latin America, Australia and the Middle East.

The Senegalese energy sector is changing rapidly and first-class information is key to investor certainty. The Clean Energy Tool is therefore a major resource, critical not only to those interested in investing, but also to Senegal’s ambition to make growth in this sector a major contributor to the country’s development.

The Houda Law team is proud to have participated in a truly remarkable step for the clean energy sector.
