How we work

We’re working with developing countries across Latin America and the Caribbean, Africa and Asia to accelerate an equitable energy transition for people and planet

Our vision

We work for a world where everyone has access to abundant, clean electricity, and the means to use it to improve their lives. 

Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet builds transformative public, private, philanthropic partnerships to end energy poverty and accelerate green economic opportunity.

Founded in 2021 by The Rockefeller Foundation, IKEA Foundation and Bezos Earth Fund, we work in more than 30 countries to unlock finance, strengthen institutions and transform markets, delivering progress that goes beyond individual projects to drive lasting systems change.

Through our two interconnected global pillars, Grids of the Future – focused on innovation and infrastructure – and Powering Opportunity – with a focus on jobs and livelihoods – we work toward our vision: a world where everyone has access to affordable, reliable, clean electricity and the means to use it to improve their lives.

Powering Opportunity

Energy has the greatest impact when we look beyond access to how it’s used—integrated across sectors and paired with tools, training, and finance to create jobs and improve lives.

Grids of the Future

Grids of the Future works in deep partnership with utilities, local governments, regulators and innovators to realize this opportunity through the D4 framework.
