The SADC Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (SACREEE) was established with the objective of fostering a closer regional cooperation on the development of Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency, through coordination of projects based on renewable energy and energy efficiency.
In August 2015, the SADC Council of Ministers, at its meeting held in Gaborone, Botswana, endorsed the establishment of SACREEE and approved Namibia as host Country for the SADC Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency basing itself on the recommendations of the Ministers responsible for Energy. The Government of Namibia agreed to host and provide support and second staff to the Centre, and in 2016 the SACREEE office was established in Windhoek, Namibia.
SACREEE continues to work alongside SADC Members States’ Energy Ministries and National Focal Institutions (NFIs) towards the development of renewable energy and energy efficiency projects in the region.
