INFORMATION & STRATEGY

The Africa Renewable Energy Initiative - AREI - is a political decision led by Africa for Africa, to increase and accelerate the domestication of the continent's renewable energy potential. Under the mandate of the African Union, approved by the Heads of State, AREI has a Board of Directors, chaired ad interim by the Republic of Namibia.
After successfully achieving the Phase I objective (10 GW by 2020), AREI is now focusing on increasing the mobilization of partners and private investments to exploit the energy potential of the African continent. The objective of Phase II is to deploy at least 50 GW by 2025 and reach 300 GW by 2030 by focusing on innovative and diversified solutions in renewable energies. This new phase is part of a strategy aimed at accelerating the energy transition in Africa while promoting sustainable development.
