About me

My organisation

RMI

RMI is dedicated to transforming global energy systems by leveraging market-driven solutions to achieve a clean, prosperous, zero-carbon future for all. In Africa, we focus on promoting sustainable electricity access to foster equitable development. Our efforts encompass several key areas: 

-Capacity Development: We provide tailored capacity development opportunities that directly respond to the needs of energy practitioners in the Global South.

-Scaling Distributed Energy: We work with local partners to implement distributed energy resource projects that test innovative business models and technical designs that catalyze sector growth

-Climate Finance: Through initiatives like the Catalytic Climate Capital (C3) program and the Climate Finance Access Network (CFAN), we de-risk clean energy investments to unlock funding and improve the capacity of low-income countries to access green investments.

-Unlocking Power System Transformation: We support the development of least-cost, sustainable grids to modernize energy infrastructure.

-Productive Use of Energy: We stimulate efficient energy demand to boost local economic growth and productivity. 

By forging strategic partnerships, RMI catalyzes market-driven solutions that enable resilient communities and thriving businesses across the continent and beyond.
