International law firm Hogan Lovells Cadwalader has assisted the Emerging Africa & Asia Infrastructure Fund (EAAIF) on USD50 million in senior secured debt financing to Ukko Renewable (Ukko RE).
Managed by investment firm Ninety One, the EAAIF provides long-term commercial debt for crucial infrastructure projects in Asia and Africa. Ukko RE is a Singapore-based clean energy development platform owned by Groupe Duval, a French real estate and investment group.
The financing will aid in the continued development of Ukko RE’s portfolio of wind, solar and hydropower projects in Vietnam, the Philippines and other Southeast Asian jurisdictions.
The Hogan Lovells Cadwalader team was led by Matt Bubb, head of the firm’s infrastructure, energy, resources and projects practice for the Asia-Pacific region. He was assisted by partners Kaveeta Sandhu and Timothy Goh, counsel David Rho, senior associate Wei Lun Koh, and associates Josh Everett, Ashleigh Gan and Precia Lian.
The firm’s Paris office, including partner Olivier Fillie-Lambie, counsel Alexandre Salem and associates Takudzwa Matondo and Jean-Noe Mwizerwa provided further support.
