2.9. Renewable Energy and Energy Efficiency Partnership (REEEP)

♤ REEEP is an international multilateral partnership that works to accelerate market-based deployment of renewable energy and energy efficient systems in low- and middle-income countries.

♤ It invests in clean energy markets in developing countries to reduce CO2 emissions and build prosperity.

♤ It 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.

♤ In June 2004, REEEP obtained formal, legal non-profit status as an international NGO and has since been located at the UN complex in Vienna, Austria.
