DR Congo’s rural electrification agency, ANSER, and a financial advisory firm signed an agreement on March 30 to structure and raise financing for electrification projects across the country.

ANSER and Brazzaville-based Infinite Capital signed the memorandum of understanding in Kinshasa, according to a document seen by this publication. The partnership covers financial structuring, promotion, and the mobilization of public and private resources for rural and peri-urban electrification infrastructure.

Under the agreement, Infinite Capital will support ANSER in raising funds by acting as an intermediary with institutional investors, investment funds, development banks, and technical and financial partners. The firm will also provide financial engineering support for project structuring and monitor fundraising efforts.

ANSER, for its part, will provide a portfolio of electrification projects with strong financing potential, along with the technical, institutional, and financial data needed for discussions with partners. The memorandum is valid for six months from the date of signing.

A $100 million target

While the agreement does not specify a precise funding figure, Infinite Capital Managing Partner Théophane Mokoko said the partnership could help mobilize around $100 million to finance electrification projects. He said the mechanism would involve establishing credit lines with financial institutions, with disbursements made progressively based on project progress and repayments tied to revenues generated by the infrastructure.

The model is designed to enable the gradual mobilization of resources and their reuse to support new projects as part of a sustainable financing approach.

The partnership is part of ANSER’s strategy to accelerate electricity access in rural and peri-urban areas, where coverage remains low. The projects are expected to focus on decentralized energy infrastructure, particularly off-grid electrification, in line with sector priorities.

The deal comes as electrification partnerships in the DRC continue to expand. In February 2026, ANSER signed a memorandum of understanding with U.S. firm Cybastion Institute LLC covering the design, financial structuring, and implementation of energy projects, including solar, in rural and peri-urban areas.

Infinite Capital is a financial advisory firm active in Central Africa. The company acts as an intermediary between investors and project developers, particularly in infrastructure, energy, and natural resources. According to its company materials, it advises governments, companies, and institutions on financing structures and capital mobilization for high-impact projects.
