Energy & Natural Resources

We provide regulatory, transactional, and project-based counsel across the energy and extractives sector.

Our approach to energy & natural resources

Ashitiva Advocates LLP plays a pivotal role in advising clients across Kenya’s evolving energy and natural resources landscape. We support public and private sector players in structuring, negotiating, and implementing energy and extractive industry projects — including those in oil and gas, renewables, power generation, transmission, and mining. Our multidisciplinary team understands the commercial and regulatory drivers that shape energy transactions at both national and regional levels.

We guide clients through Kenya’s energy and environmental frameworks, including licensing under the Energy and Petroleum Regulatory Authority (EPRA), compliance with the Mining Act, environmental approvals under NEMA, and sector-specific laws in electricity, petroleum, and renewable energy. Our team also provides insight on community rights, land access, local content requirements, and cross-border project dynamics.

Whether supporting independent power producers (IPPs), advising on energy purchase agreements (PPAs), or structuring mineral rights arrangements, we deliver legal solutions that balance investor protection, environmental responsibility, and long-term sustainability. We are also active in emerging sectors such as carbon markets, clean tech, and green hydrogen initiatives.
