EnergyInc Advisors Debuts to De-risk, Mobilise Capital for Africa’s Energy Transition

Indigenous advisory firm, EnergyInc Advisors, has officially launched operations in the Nigerian market with a mission to mobilise capital, simplify complex concepts in energy financing, and de-risk oil, gas, and energy transition projects across Africa and connect them with global capital.

The firm, which is Africa-focused, aims to shape the continent’s future in energy, infrastructure, and climate-aligned investments.

Founded by renowned energy and finance expert, Rolake Akinkugbe-Filani, EnergyInc Advisors proposes to unlock capital and support sustainable economic growth by bridging the gap between African projects and international investors.

With consummate experience of nearly two decades, kinkugbe-Filani brings to bear her wealth of executive experience which has facilitated the deployment of over $8 billion in capital across the continent.

“Africa is at a pivotal moment. The continent holds immense opportunity, but unlocking its potential requires the right capital, partners, and positioning,” she said. “EnergyInc Advisors was created to bridge that gap with local intelligence, international reach, and a commitment to delivering results.”

The firm will provide a comprehensive suite of services that includes strategic advisory, capital raising, transaction structuring, investor engagement, and market positioning. It aims to break down complex ideas ranging from upstream oil and gas projects to solar mini-grids and national energy transition plans into investment-ready opportunities.

“At EnergyInc Advisors, we are architecting solutions that de-risk complexity and channel capital to where it’s needed most. We see ourselves as partners in Africa’s growth story, helping clients navigate evolving markets while aligning with global investment trends,” she said.

By leveraging on an expansive network of institutional investors, banks, DFIs, and fund managers, the firm aims to create bankable deals that meet both investor expectations and Africa’s development needs.
