Geni & Kebe has been recognized as the 2026 Energy & Natural Resources Law Firm of the Year – Senegal by Corporate INTL. The London based business publication applauded our firm's leading role in advising on complex energy, natural resources, and infrastructure projects that are shaping the future of Senegal and the wider West African region.

We have a longstanding commitment to delivering sophisticated legal counsel on high-value transactions, regulatory reforms, and strategic infrastructure developments. Among the firm's most notable achievements is its role in advising on a €95 million solar streetlighting project in Senegal. The transaction involved the Republic of Senegal, Standard Chartered Bank, and Murabaha financing arrangements to support the installation and long-term maintenance of 50,000 solar streetlights across the country. The project represents a significant step toward expanding access to clean energy infrastructure while improving public safety and promoting sustainable urban development.

Beyond Senegal, Geni & Kebe has also played an important role in advancing legal and regulatory reform across Africa's energy sector. The firm assisted the Republic of Chad with the implementation of its Law Relating to the Electric Energy Sector, a legislative framework designed to modernize the country's electricity market. The legislation establishes licensing regimes for participants in the electricity sector and creates an independent regulatory authority to oversee the industry. Geni & Kebe's contribution included drafting key contractual documentation and delivering specialized workshops to support the law's implementation and build institutional capacity.

These mandates demonstrate the breadth of the firm's Energy & Natural Resources practice, which combines transactional expertise with a deep understanding of regulatory frameworks and public policy. Whether advising on renewable energy projects, infrastructure financing, regulatory reform, or cross-border investment, Geni & Kebe provides commercially focused legal solutions tailored to the evolving needs of clients operating across Africa.
