It is an impact-driven and independent non-profit organisation created to accelerate the deployment of renewable generation in Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs). It focuses on implementation and is not a think tank.
RELP’s strategy is to support governments of developing countries in designing and implementing stable regulatory frameworks and new financial schemes to develop their renewable energy sectors and boost the reduction of their GHG emissions.
It is RELP’s goal to help eradicate energy poverty in the developing world by bringing down risks of long-term infrastructure investment, promoting clear and stable rules to foster competition, and promoting the deployment of clean energy solutions and technologies.
RELP’s objective is to mobilise investments to install at least 40 GW of new renewable capacity by implementing its solution in 20+ developing countries within 10 years, directly and indirectly avoiding in excess of 100 million tons of CO2 annually.
