We work for a world where everyone has access to clean electricity and the means to use it to improve their lives.
Affordable, reliable, clean electricity is essential for a resilient planet and a secure and prosperous future. Yet today, 685 million people live without electricity. Billions live with access that is unaffordable and unreliable.
Together, we can change this.
The Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet builds transformative public, private, philanthropic partnerships to end energy poverty and accelerate green economic opportunity.
With more than 50 partners worldwide, including governments, businesses, investors, development banks, community groups and philanthropies, we convene the right actors with the right expertise to match the challenges we face.
These multi-sectoral partnerships engage every part of the value chain from households to heads of state. By pooling resources and expertise, our Alliance can unlock investments, upskill workforces, empower communities, overcome bottlenecks and reshape entire energy systems.
