📢 NDF has committed 5.65 million to the Peace Renewable Energy Certificate (P-REC) Aggregation Facility! In partnership with the African Development Bank and Sustainable Energy Fund for Africa (SEFA), the Facility aims to help scale off-grid renewable energy in some of Africa’s most energy-poor and fragile markets. 🔋🌱 🌍⚡ Managed by Camco and Energy Peace Partners, the P-REC Aggregation Facility will support projects across 14 frontier countries and help deliver first-time electricity access to around 856,000 people. This effort contributes to The World Bank's and AfDB’s Mission 300, which aims to connect 300 million people in Africa to electricity by 2030. “Countries in Sub‑Saharan Africa facing fragile and conflict‑affected situations urgently need support and access to clean, reliable energy solutions. At NDF, we are proud to contribute to the Innovative Peace Renewable Energy Certificate (P‑REC) Aggregation Facility, which helps bring small‑scale, off‑grid renewable energy to communities with no, limited or disrupted energy access,” says Satu Santala, Managing Director of NDF. 📌 Read more: https://shorturl.at/IWdUE #ClimateFinance #RenewableEnergy #CatalyticFinance
