Introduction
Angola, Ghana, Kenya, Mauritius, Mozambique, Tanzania, Uganda and Zambia to a certain extent form the biggest and most dynamic markets in Sub-Saharan Africa in the energy and infra- structure space, outside of South Africa and Nigeria. Mozambique has been one of the most talked about countries,
thanks largely to natural resources specifically coal, where Brazilian giant Vale has been developing a multifaceted mining, transport and power operation in the north. There has also been activity connected to gas and in other minerals. Partners note that there has been a high volume of M&A transactions as companies swap and trade assets relating to oil and gas reserves off the Mozambique and Tanzanian coast. Many trends are contained in some the key matters across these
countries, for instance looking at Tullow’s sale to CNOOC in Uganda. “It is a high profile $3 billion deal which took a year or two to get done. It’s interesting as it is one of the deals that pulls together many themes: the interest in East Africa, Asian invest- ment into Africa and also Tullow, which is not one of the big oil companies like Shell or BP but it has grown quickly and is a new player and real success story,” says a lawyer. Another matter that has been much discussed is the 300MW Lake Turkana Wind Proj- ect in Kenya, which will comprise 365 wind turbines. The project has drawn the largest single private investment Kenya has ever seen and showcases a mix or numerous types of investors and invest- ment structures coming together in a very young and undefined sector. Lawyers noted a number of developments across the hub coun-
tries, among them COMESA’s new competition regulations in East Africa.
