REEEP was originally launched by the government of the United Kingdom, along with other partners, at the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in August 2002.[2][3] Since 2004 it has been headquartered at the United Nations Office in Vienna[4] and is supported by the Government of Austria[4] among others.
REEEP develops and implements programmes which use a combination of financial instruments, capacity building, facilitation of stakeholder cooperation and technical assistance to encourage private sector investment in clean energy markets, primarily in low- and middle income countries. It designed and implemented the Beyond the Grid Fund for Zambia,[5] funded by Sweden, which won the Ashden Award in 2019[6] and delivered energy service subscriptions to over 1 million Zambians.[7] The programme has been expanded into the Beyond the Grid Fund for Africa[7] which as of 2024 aims to reach over 8.6 million people across Burkina Faso, DRC, Liberia, Uganda and Zambia.[8]
