Our Focus Regions
ACEN works across two of the world's most energy-dynamic regions — each with immense potential and urgent need.
Africa
Home to some of the world's richest renewable energy resources — solar, wind, hydro, and geothermal — Africa is poised to leapfrog fossil fuels. ACEN works with governments, utilities, and developers across Sub-Saharan Africa, East Africa, and West Africa to unlock investment and expand energy access.
- • Sub-Saharan Africa energy access programs
- • East Africa renewable energy corridors
- • West Africa grid integration initiatives
The Caribbean
Caribbean islands face some of the world's highest energy costs and greatest climate risks. ACEN supports the region's transition from imported fossil fuels to local renewable energy, strengthening energy security and economic resilience for island communities.
- • Island-scale solar and wind deployment
- • Caribbean energy policy coordination
- • Climate resilience and adaptation programs
