We build transformative partnerships to accelerate clean energy and economic opportunity.
Global efforts to tackle energy poverty have made immense strides in recent decades. But progress has stalled. Today, nearly 700 million people live without electricity and a billion more live with access that is unaffordable or unreliable. This deficit holds back development, raises the cost of doing business and suppresses economic growth.
A new approach is urgently needed.

Founded in 2021 by The Rockefeller Foundation, IKEA Foundation and Bezos Earth Fund, we build public, private, philanthropic partnerships to accelerate clean energy and economic opportunity.
Our partnerships, combined with our technical expertise and catalytic investments, help build the foundations that make clean energy investable and scalable in emerging economies.
Central to our approach are two interconnected pillars: Grids of the Future, which strengthens energy supply by building AI-enabled, renewables-ready power systems; and Powering Opportunity, which strengthens energy demand by helping communities and countries harness clean energy to power businesses, create jobs and drive economic growth.
Together, we work for a world where everyone has abundant electricity and the means to use it to improve their lives.
