What is involved in the purchase / sale of energy and communications infrastructure?

The purchase or sale of energy and communications infrastructure assets involves complex, multi-disciplinary transactions. These can include renewable energy projects, electricity distribution and transmission assets, telecommunications infrastructure such as fibre optic cables and mobile towers, and data centres. Such transactions require expertise in regulatory compliance, planning and environmental law, contractual obligations, and property agreements.

Detailed due diligence processes are essential to assess existing liabilities, asset conditions, warranty implications and long-term operational considerations. Likewise, comprehensive contractual documentation is crucial to protect the parties involved, clearly define responsibilities, and mitigate risks related to ownership, operation and financing.
