We are an Alliance united in a common belief that renewable energy is fundamental to tackling the climate crisis and powering equitable growth.
Clean energy is development; without it, every other form of progress, is impacted. Today, half the world’s population – 3.6 billion people – live in energy poverty, with 675 million people lacking any access to electricity.

GEAPP works to accelerate the green energy transition to end energy poverty across emerging economies.
We do this by expanding access to affordable, reliable, clean electricity for the hardest to reach communities that are most vulnerable to the impacts of climate change. Our work also aims to reduce carbon emissions, powering progress for people and the planet.
Formed in a spirit of radical collaboration, GEAPP brings together philanthropy, governments, development partners, and the private sector.
Our founder partners include the IKEA Foundation, The Rockefeller Foundation and the Bezos Earth Fund. Together we seek to tackle the challenge of energy access for all through a just transition, unlocking a new era of inclusive green economic growth for vulnerable people while enabling the global community to meet critical climate goals within the next decade.
Our Alliance Partners
GEAPP takes a fresh approach to partnership. The Alliance you find in our name reflects the fundamental aspect of GEAPP’s approach: committed partnerships, which enable us to channel our collective ambition to bring longer-term impact at speed.
We collaborate with country governments and communities, bringing together technology, policy and regulation, development finance, and private sector partners to drive transformational action and achieve our ambitious goals.
It’s time.
It’s time to accelerate a renewable energy movement that powers progress for people and planet because when you change energy, you change lives.
Powering People and Planet Report 2023
The Powering People and Planet (P3) Report explores the progress made towards the ambitious goals that GEAPP was set up to achieve at COP26.
The report takes an evidence-based view at GEAPP’s work to tackle endemic challenges, take calculated risks and nurture innovation to unleash and unblock current barriers to the green energy transition. It highlights GEAPP’s impact in its seven deep-dive countries.
