Who We Are

We uncover and structure great investment opportunities in the fast growing power sector in Sub-Saharan Africa.

Sphinx Energy is a power company focused on the development of thermal and solar plants in Africa. Sphinx Energy is primarily focused on countries in West and Central Africa. Sphinx is registered in The Republic of Mauritius with an office in Douala, Abidjan and Washington, DC.

 Our leadership team has an extensive experience in (1) the development and operation of electricity generation infrastructures, (2) the operation of power utilities, (3) the management of upstream and downstream gas assets and (4) the coordination cross-country power projects taking place with power pools in Africa. Therefore, our in-depth understanding of technical, commercial and financial issues in the context of Africa provides us with an edge in identifying opportunities and mitigating risks.

We leverage cultural affinity and country knowledge to understand needs, engage Governments and other stakeholders and quickly implement strategically transformational projects. Sphinx Energy is willing to allocate significant resources on early stage development works to present well-structured and bankable projects to institutional investors and larger developers in order to close the gap between available funding and late stage development pipeline for power projects in Africa.
