United States · International Affairs

Energy Peace Partners (EPP) is a nonprofit organization established in 2017, based in Sausalito, California. The organization focuses on developing climate finance solutions to foster peace and development in fragile, conflict-affected regions. EPP operates globally, particularly in areas facing energy poverty and instability, such as the Central African Republic, where it promotes renewable energy to address conflict dynamics. EPP's mission is to leverage renewable energy and finance to create economic opportunities and reduce marginalization in fragile states. It offers Peace Renewable Energy Credits (P-RECs), which allow corporate buyers to support renewable energy projects in these regions while achieving decarbonization goals. Additionally, EPP provides market development guidance to help companies integrate P-RECs into their sustainability strategies and conducts research to align industrial value chains with fragile countries. The organization collaborates with various partners, including corporate buyers, nonprofit coalitions, and international institutions, to advance renewable energy as a tool for peacebuilding.
