This is an extract of our article in the GAR’s The Middle Eastern and African Arbitration Review 2023. The whole publication is available here.

This article outlines some of the legal concepts faced by investors and African states involved in large energy projects when a sudden change in the legal and economic context arises, and the disputes around these concepts. It also gives insight into two trending issues for energy projects in Africa that could give rise to contractual renegotiations and arbitrations in the years to come.
