Rockefeller Foundation Advances African Energy Solutions at COP29

At COP29 in Baku, Azerbaijan, The Rockefeller Foundation committed $10.9 million to African-led clean energy initiatives. Key investments include the African Energy Futures Initiative, the African School of Regulation, Kenya’s Clean Cooking Delivery Unit, and Zambia’s 1,000 Mini-Grid Initiative. These efforts aim to bridge Africa’s energy gap, impacting over 600 million people without electricity.
