Advised Konexa in connection with the development, construction and financing of its renewable energy project, designed to power two (2) brewery sites of the pioneer and largest brewery company in Nigeria, the Nigeria Breweries PLC (NBP), with 100% renewable energy (the Project). NBP, a subsidiary of Heineken, has been a market leader in Nigeria in pursuing renewable energy solutions and the Project will help accelerate the company’s transition to receiving 100% of their electricity needs from renewable energy while increasing electricity reliability. The Project will facilitate the transmission of renewable energy from the Gurara Hydro power plant (the Gurara Facility) located in Kaduna State and operated by North South Power Company Limited (NSP), to NBP’s breweries in Kakuri and Kudenda in Kaduna State (the NBP Sites), which are currently powered by fossil fuels. In this regard, the Firm advised Konexa on the power purchase agreement entered into with NSP in relation to the purchase of power from the Gurara Facility and the power purchase agreement entered into with NBP with respect to the supply of power to the NBP Sites.
