What do we do?

The Energy and Environment Partnership (EEP) programs support wider access to modern energy services and promote renewable energy and energy efficiency in program countries. The programs provide grants for developing, piloting and scaling up inclusive business models and provide seed money for the preparatory phases of sustainable energy investments. The programs run in Central America, the Andean region, Southern and Eastern Africa, Mekong region and Indonesia. They aim at increasing access to sustainable energy for all through improved climate sustainability.
