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.

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.

Decisions regarding the future of natural gas will shape local economies, and the global effort to combat both energy poverty and climate change.

Smart and just climate strategies must account for the realities, priorities, and ambitions of energy poor countries

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.

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.
