African & Caribbean Energy Network
Connect, empower, and support energy stakeholders through knowledge sharing, clean energy investment, and collective action.

Centering the well-being and empowerment of communities, workers, and future generations in every energy initiative we undertake.
Committing to environmental stewardship, clean energy solutions, and reducing the carbon footprint across Africa and the Caribbean.
Promoting energy sovereignty and equitable access as foundations for stability, cooperation, and lasting peace in the regions we serve.
Driving economic growth through clean energy investment, job creation, and sustainable development for all communities.
Building lasting alliances between governments, investors, developers, and communities to deliver transformative clean energy solutions at scale.

ACEN works across two of the world's most energy-dynamic regions — each with immense potential and urgent need.
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.
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.
