About Naviara

Independent advisory across Energy, Climate & Nature

Naviara Energy is an independent advisory led by Dominic Goncalves, an energy strategy and decarbonization expert with more than 16 years’ experience across global energy markets.

Naviara advises across three focus areas: Energy Strategy, Natural Capital and Climate Tech.

What Naviara does

Naviara helps clients navigate complex energy transition decisions and move viable projects, strategies and business models into action. We work with corporates, developers, investors, technology companies and project platforms that need clear strategic direction, commercial insight and practical delivery support.

Having sat on both sides of the table — in project development, IPP and EPC roles, and on the buyer/procurer/investor side — Naviara brings practical insight into what is bankable and buildable and helps move these plans into action.

Energy Strategy

Naviara supports corporates, critical loads, islanded grids, developers and IPPs on energy strategy, energy security, fuel risk, project bankability, procurement, and new products and business models for the energy transition.

In Africa, Naviara partners with Cresco Project Finance to deliver integrated advisory services for corporate energy consumers, developers, IPPs, investors and public entities. Globally, Naviara works with Data Centres and islanded grids on their energy strategy.

Natural Capital

Naviara supports natural infrastructure and nature-based solution developers to strengthen project positioning, enhance commercial credibility, and secure funding, investors and delivery partners.
