The Rockefeller Foundation has announced grants totaling $10.9 million to advance African-led clean energy solutions.
Announced at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP29) in Baku, Azerbaijan, the funding will build on the foundation’s $10 million in earlier commitments to energy transition projects across sub-Saharan Africa through the Global Energy Alliance for People and Planet (GEAPP). The latest investments include $2.1 million to bolster its African Energy Futures Initiative; $3 million to the African School of Regulation; $400,000 to launch a Clean Cooking Alliance delivery unit in Kenya; $300,000 to help integrate off-grid solar into national electrification strategies in nearly two dozen countries; and $5 million to advance the Republic of Zambia’s effort to deploy more than 1,000 mini power grids in rural communities.
