EEP Africa supports early-stage, locally driven innovative clean energy projects that are in active development. All applications need to demonstrate a clear need and additionality for EEP Africa financing.
Funding is provided to feasibility studies, pilot, replication or scale-up projects.
All project activities need to have a clear path to profitability with reasonable expectation of further investment and sustainable commercialisation.
EEP Africa is technology agnostic as long as solutions are based on renewable energy sources (solar, wind, biomass, geothermal, hydro, other renewable energy sources) or energy efficiency.
For the CfP2026, EEP Africa limits applications from Kenya, Botswana, Mauritius, Namibia and South Africa to projects that focus on e-waste management, specifically e-waste generated from the clean energy sector. See Annex II of CfP2026 Guidelines for more details.
