Our Work

The world’s energy goals--as embodied in the definition of energy access -- are setting the bar far too low and often measuring the wrong thing.

The cost and reliability of energy is a leading barrier to firm expansion and job creation in many countries across Africa and Asia.

The potential of cloud computing, remote sensors, and satellite imagery are underexploited in the energy sector.

Renewable energy will be a critical component of any long-term energy mix. But solar, wind, geothermal, and hydro are all currently under-exploited across many frontier and emerging markets.

Lots of countries with abundant natural gas also have huge unmet domestic power needs.

All thriving competitive economies require a modern adaptable grid. New technologies and business models can make that possible.

To fulfill the promise of a high energy future for everyone, we will need the full suite of public financial tools and better ways to crowd-in private capital.

Energy systems drive development when they deliver reliable power at scale to industry, commerce, and other productive uses.

Across Africa, the lack of reliable and affordable electricity is a major barrier to human development, job creation, and future prosperity.

More than two billion people live in Asian countries where inadequate and unreliable energy is a constraint to future prosperity.
