The Nigerian Energy space is a dynamic one with the booming oil and gas sector, the newly privatized and emerging power sector, and the developing petrochemical and renewable sector. The sector plays a critical role in the industrial, technological, economic and social development of the country. Hence, the large participation and influx of professionals into the field.

The Energy Institute Nigeria branch supports those working and interested in the energy sector by:

- Capacity building through specially designed trainings and workshops
- Providing networking opportunities through local and international events, and forums
- Fostering good relations and knowledge sharing through the evening sessions and quarterly branch meetings
- Promoting standards of operations and best practices through technical sessions
- Providing support to students and young professionals through the local Young Professionals Network
- Providing professional recognitions and guidance on the route to chartership
- Providing support to Universities through learning affiliate membership and accreditations to approved training centres.
