The Renewable Energy & Energy Efficiency Partnership's (REEEP) goal is to accelerate the global market for sustainable energy by acting as an international and regional enabler, multiplier and catalyst to change and develop sustainable energy systems.

REEEP works with Governments, Businesses, Industry, Financiers and Civil Society across the world in order to expand the global market for renewable energy and energy efficiency technologies.

The REEEP finances projects, which identify replicable models of policy and regulatory frameworks that overcome the market barriers to REES. Policy and regulatory projects help to stabilize the legal environment which is crucial to reducing financial risks and to stimulating investment . The REEEP also finances projects which leverage additional resources and enhance capacity building for investors, financiers and public officials. Innovative financing projects provide tool-kits, business plans and financing mechanisms which result in a significant increase in REES investments.

1. Abstract:

   The Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP) is a Vienna-based non-profit organisation that aims to accelerate the marketplace for renewable energy and energy efficiency with a particular emphasis on the emerging markets and developing countries. The organisation funds small-to-medium scale projects and other strategic activities that address the two main barriers to sustainable energy development: first, the lack of long term, stable government policies and regulations to support renewables and energy efficiency, and second, the corresponding lack of finance. REEEP was launched by the government of the United Kingdom along with other partners at the Johannesburg World Summit on Sustainable Development (WSSD) in August 2002. Its official goals are to: Reduce greenhouse gas emissions Deliver social improvements to developing countries and countries in transition, by improving the access to reliable clean energy services, and by making renewable energy and energy efficiency systems more affordable Bring economic benefits to nations that use energy in a more efficient way and increase the share of indigenous renewable resources in their energy mix. To date the organisation has been funded primarily by governments including: Australia, Austria, Canada, Germany, Ireland, Italy, Spain, The Netherlands, The United Kingdom, The United States and the European Commission.
