Hunton Andrews Kurth LLP advised, as lead international legal counsel, International Finance Corporation (IFC) on its equity investment in CrossBoundary Energy Access Platform.

The investment will support the continued construction and expansion of CrossBoundary’s portfolio of distributed renewable energy assets, including mini-grids, battery-as-a-service (BaaS), and adjacent technologies in Sub-Saharan Africa.
