The East African Community (EAC), comprised of Burundi, Kenya, Rwanda, Tanzania, and Uganda is establishing a new regional East African Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (EACREEE).
Inspired by the successful equivalent in West Africa, the ECOWAS Centre for Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency (ECREEE), the new Eastern African Centre responds to the difficult energy situation in the EAC countries. These nations are facing three simultaneous challenges: energy access, energy security and climate change mitigation.
