The Energy for Growth Hub
All nations need a high-energy future to power industrial and commercial development, job creation and economic growth. But small-scale solutions to energy poverty can’t build competitive economies. So the hopes and security of billions are at risk. The Energy for Growth Hub connects the latest research directly with policymaker demand — to fuel prosperity for everyone. Our Vision: • No person’s potential is wasted because the power where they live and work is too costly or too unreliable. • All countries achieve the high-energy future they need to become prosperous, competitive, and climate-resilient. • Evidence and data drive energy decisions over ideology. Our Mission: • Promote energy goals, policies, and metrics aligned with countries’ own development ambitions. • Advance data-driven solutions by translating research into practical ideas and insights for policymakers.
