Our Renewable Energy Infrastructure Development (REID) Programme is looking into the heart of the electricity supply crisis in Africa, asking what are the key blockages to green investment and how can we resolve them? 

 

Researchers at FIDEP are exploring low-carbon development from a number of angles. We particularly focus on the way that policies, politics, institutions and markets shape innovation and investment in, and use of, low-carbon energy.

 

Our research focuses on community energy pathways and how investment in low-carbon technologies can be part of a development model that reduces poverty and transforms livelihoods to make people less vulnerable to climate change.
