• Partnership with ANSER focuses on structuring and mobilizing financing

• Mechanism relies on phased funding tied to project performance

• Initiative supports expansion of off-grid electrification

The National Agency for Electrification and Energy Services in Rural and Peri-Urban Areas (ANSER) has signed a memorandum of understanding with financial advisory firm Infinite Capital to mobilize funding for electrification projects in the Democratic Republic of Congo.

The agreement, signed March 30 in Kinshasa, focuses on structuring, promoting, and securing both public and private financing for rural and peri-urban energy infrastructure.

Under the deal, Infinite Capital will support ANSER in raising funds by acting as an intermediary with institutional investors, investment funds, development banks, and technical partners. The firm will also provide financial engineering services to structure projects and monitor fundraising efforts.

ANSER, for its part, will provide a pipeline of bankable electrification projects, along with the technical, institutional, and financial data needed to engage potential partners. The memorandum is valid for six months.

A $100 million financing target

While no formal amount is specified in the agreement, Infinite Capital’s managing partner, Théophane Mokoko, said the partnership could mobilize around $100 million.

The proposed model relies on establishing financing lines with financial institutions, with funds disbursed progressively as projects advance. Repayments would be tied to revenues generated by the infrastructure, allowing capital to be recycled into new projects.

The initiative is part of ANSER’s broader strategy to expand electricity access in underserved rural and peri-urban areas, where electrification rates remain low. Projects are expected to focus on decentralized energy systems, particularly off-grid solutions.

The agreement comes amid a growing number of partnerships in the sector. In February 2026, ANSER signed a similar deal with U.S.-based Cybastion Institute LLC to develop and finance energy projects, including solar infrastructure, in rural areas.

Based in Brazzaville, Infinite Capital is a financial advisory and economic engineering firm active in Central Africa. It positions itself as an intermediary between investors and project developers, particularly in infrastructure, energy, and natural resources.
