Advising AESG on acquisition of The Energy Project

Gateley Middle East has advised global engineering, consultancy and advisory firm AESG on its acquisition of Australian renewable energy consultancy The Energy Project (TEP).

The deal strengthens AESG’s renewable energy capabilities and supports its continued international expansion, adding specialist expertise in energy transition, distributed energy projects, battery storage, microgrids and electric vehicle infrastructure.

Founded in 2011, TEP advises major corporations, utilities, airports, governments and institutions on energy transition strategies and the development and delivery of distributed energy projects, including onsite solar, battery storage, microgrids and electric vehicle infrastructure. Its clients include, amongst others, Sydney and Adelaide Airports, Bunnings and IKEA.

Headquartered in Dubai, AESG operates across the UK, Saudi Arabia, Australia, Singapore, South Africa and Egypt. The acquisition brings one of Australia’s leading renewable energy consultancies into the AESG group and is supported by the appointment of senior industry leader Andrew Mather as Fractional Managing Director of AESG’s Australian business.

Gateley Middle East’s team was led by Dubai managing partner and head of corporate Darren Harris, supported by Legal Director Nadine Wilson and Associate Ammarah Shamim.

Darren Harris said: “This acquisition marks an exciting step in AESG’s growth journey and further strengthens its position as a leading international consultancy. We were delighted to support the AESG team on this transaction and wish them every success as they integrate TEP into the group and continue to expand their global renewable energy and engineering footprint.”
