Project Summary / Description:
Energy Peace Partners (EPP) believes that renewable energy can support peace. We aim to create an enabling environment for deploying new clean energy capacity that will serve as the building blocks for climate resilience and peace in regions affected by violent conflict. Building off our initial Peace Renewable Energy Certification (P-REC) pilot project in Democratic Republic of Congo, our Asia P-REC work looks to link international renewable energy markets to conflict affected settings in Myanmar, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan to create new revenue streams that can support clean energy project development in places that lack other incentive

Impact on Underrepresented Groups:
Our efforts aim to create an enabling environment for deploying new renewable energy capacity that will serve as the building blocks for peace in regions most vulnerable to climate change, affected by violent conflict, and with low rates of electrification. The renewable energy revolution has been inequitable. Renewable energy investment can be transformative to building resilience, but little climate finance is currently deployed to communities in fragile states. We therefore target the 27 countries most threatened by the overlapping challenges of climate change, conflict and energy poverty. Developers of P-REC projects are required to engage local communities in every step of project development. Where P-REC revenue is being used to fund social impact activities, the community must be consulted when deciding the best use for these funds. For example, our pilot project in Goma, DRC is using P-REC revenue to fund street lights. Through a community engagement process the developer was able to determine the highest priority expenditure for the community and the neighborhoods most in need of the street lights. These streetlights have enabled greater nighttime security and allowed businesses to extend business hours, increasing the projects economic development impact.
