In Belgium, Partners for Euro-African Green Energy (PANGEA), Embark Energy, Education, and Entrepreneurship (Embark Energy) and Everest Energy Group (Everest Energy) have announced a partnership under the United Nations Sustainable Energy for All initiative (SE4ALL) to support current efforts to match clean energy projects to finance. This partnership, developed under the auspices of the SE4ALL High-Impact Initiative for Sustainable Bioenergy in Africa (African HII), is created in order to speed up deployment of clean energy projects and enterprises, and expand opportunities for investment in clean energy in Africa. It will support the on-going role of PANGEA, as Secretariat for the African HII, of Embark Energy, as a leading social enterprise in the region working with entrepreneurs, and Everest Energy as an experienced bioenergy project developer to help close the financing gap in addressing energy poverty through enterprise development—especially for African energy start-ups and SMEs—to achieve greater energy access across the continent.
