About us
Power for All is a global campaign to accelerate the deployment of distributed/decentralized renewable energy as the best solution to universal energy access. The campaign aims to transform the ''business as usual' timeline to achieve universal energy access by 2025, at a fraction of currently planned costs and in half the time. Our partners include companies, NGOs and foundations..

Your Support Can Help a Just Energy Transition This #GivingTuesday, the stakes are higher than ever as global funding for the development and nonprofit sector faces intense pressure. In addition, despite ongoing calls for ambitious action, the climate commitments at this year’s #COP29 have been appropriately described as a “band-aid on a bullet wound.” Communities are losing critical services, momentum toward the Sustainable Development Goals is slowing, and the fight against climate change impacts is hanging by a thread. Around the world, nonprofits are facing unprecedented challenges and our years of progress in clean energy access, climate resilience, and sustainable development are at risk. Since 2015, Power for All has worked to expand the market for distributed renewable energy (#DRE) as the fastest means to end energy poverty. We use awareness, advocacy, and market activation to address energy resource inequality and biases in the global power system across developing countries. In some regions, we conduct targeted campaigns promoting DRE benefits, collaborating across sectors to boost demand, and foster a more inclusive global energy system. This #GivingTuesday, your support will help deliver clean energy to underserved communities, drive climate action, and create a sustainable future. A gift can make a life-changing impact, connecting people to the benefits of reliable, affordable, clean energy. Donate here: https://lnkd.in/gNS5_HK3 #CleanEnergy #SDGs #EndEnergyPovertyFaster

💡#OutNow: Reflecting on the outcomes of #COP29, it's evident that without transparent, accountable and action-oriented commitments, achieving global energy goals remains elusive. We need to understand which countries are extending climate finance under the definition of the UNFCCC and which countries and sectors are receiving it. This information is often obscured, hindering effective negotiation of a meaningful budget. 👉 Read More: https://lnkd.in/dwH3Gm3C #EndEnergyPovertyFaster #EnergyGoals #SustainableGoals #SDG7

🌽💡This #Thanksgiving, we’re grateful for the transformative power of Distributed Renewable Energy (#DRE) in agriculture. DRE not only helps farmers prevent food waste but also enables them to: ▶️ Boost their income ▶️ Improve their daily lives ▶️ Eliminate fuel costs ▶️ Cut greenhouse gas emissions DRE fosters stronger local economies and creates more jobs by reducing reliance on volatile fossil fuel prices and opening doors to diverse products and services. #PoweringAg #SDG7 #Thanksgiving #EndEnergyPovertyFaster Lisa Cohn 👉https://t.ly/IZRC5

🔌 New annual connections in sub-Saharan #Africa have rebounded, with decentralized access solutions now serving 7% of the region's population. In 2023, grids and #minigrids provided access to over 4 million additional households. Additionally, the rise in Solar Home Systems (SHS) is crucial in improving electricity access. Despite these promising trends, increased financial commitments are essential to accelerate progress toward global energy access.

🟢 #NowReading: How is high-fidelity data revolutionizing the #RenewableEnergy space? RE Data Explorer is a shining example of how digital tools are reshaping the clean energy sector, proving that data can be a powerful catalyst for tackling the climate crisis. Accessible, high-fidelity data drives clean energy investments, shapes policies, and optimizes renewable energy deployment. Yet, for many countries, this critical resource remains out of reach. Thanks to USAID Power Africa National Renewable Energy Laboratory tools like RE Data Explorer are breaking barriers. Take #Tanzania, where NextGen Solar USA harnessed USAID-NREL data to advance renewable energy projects, accelerating Kigoma’s #cleanenergy transition. From accelerating Tanzania’s clean energy transition, to aiding Ukraine's rebuilding efforts, to enabling clean energy projects worldwide, USAID-NREL public data is helping users and local communities reduce greenhouse gas emissions, promote sustainable development, and pave the way for a cleaner, more resilient future. 👉 Read more about this transformative impact: https://lnkd.in/dFfb-Vmu #DataforGood #EndEnergyPovertyFaster #EnergyAccess #EnergyPoverty
