Moving energy
across Africa —
from cargo to
clean power.
Novaris Global Energy & Trade Ltd sources, finances and delivers energy commodities across East & Central Africa, and channels the proceeds of trade into the region's clean-energy transition.
A trading house built on bankable structures.
Novaris Global Energy & Trade Ltd is an energy commodities trading and trade services company serving importers, distributors and industrial off-takers across East & Central Africa. We combine physical supply capability with the financial structuring discipline that regional banks and international counterparties expect.
Every cargo we move sits inside a documented, instrument-backed structure — letters of credit, standby guarantees, import loans and revolving facilities — arranged with our banking partners so that risk is allocated clearly and settlement is predictable.
The same rigour powers our clean-energy desk: we supply solar, storage and e-mobility equipment into the region and support project sponsors from procurement through to financial close.
Three desks. One standard of execution.
Physical trading, the finance that moves it, and the clean-energy supply chain the region is building next.

From enquiry to settlement, in five disciplined steps.
Counterparties know exactly where a transaction stands at every stage — because the structure is agreed before the cargo moves.

Counterparty onboarding, sanctions screening and KYC/AML checks completed before commercial terms are tabled.
Term sheet & contract
Sales agreement executed with agreed incoterms, specifications, pricing basis and payment instrument.
Instrument issuance
LC, SBLC or facility put in place with our banking partners; workability confirmed on both sides.
Shipment & inspection
Cargo loaded, independently inspected and shipped; documents prepared strictly to instrument terms.
Delivery & settlement

Anchored in Nairobi. Active across the region.
We work the corridors that keep East & Central Africa supplied — from the Indian Ocean gateways to landlocked demand centres.
