SADC Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (SACREEE) focuses on the promotion of renewable energy (RE) and energy efficiency (EE) technologies and the development of markets, through sharing information and best practices, developing sound policy, regulatory, and legal frameworks, and building the capacity within SADC Member States. SACREEE supports the implementation of the regional RE and EE Strategy and Action Plan (REEESAP) of SADC. The REEESAP mandates SACREEE to work with the Member States in developing their national Action Plans.
In the SADC region, renewable energy entrepreneurs are at the forefront of efforts to extend access to modern energy services as they are often the best placed to offer tailor-made local solutions. Such entrepreneurs, however, face serious challenges including business management and operations, as well as bringing their innovative ideas to fruition.
