Introduction: the Alliance for Rural Electrification

Dear all,

I'd like to introduce the Alliance for Rural Electrification (ARE) to the group.

ARE is an international business association representing the decentralised energy sector working towards the integration of renewables into rural electrification markets in developing and emerging countries.

We enable improved energy access through business development support for more than 80 members along the whole value chain for off-grid technologies by targeted advocacy and facilitating access to international and regional funding.

Our aim is to attract and unite all relevant actors in order to speak with one voice about rural electrification with renewable energies.

Since its creation in 2006, ARE has been serving as a global platform for sharing knowledge and best practices to provide for the rapid implementation of available and advanced renewable energy technologies and services.
