نبذة عنا
The African Energy Commission (AFREC) is a specialised energy agency of the African Union (AU), in charge of coordinating, harmonising, protecting, conserving, rational exploitation, commercialising and integrating energy resources on the African continent. Member States, continental and regional African institutions and international organisations use the energy statistic datasets as their main source to plan and inform decisions on energy development, production and supply on the continent. Up to 2018 AFREC has been focusing mainly on the collection of energy statistics through dedicated National Focal Points (NFP) who are appointed by the Ministers responsible for energy from all 55 AU Member States. As part of its mandate, AFREC is working closely with development partners and AU agencies on the continent and abroad, to ensure an effective continental energy information system is developed, integration of energy resources, strengthening national energy information systems and developing a comprehensive continental energy action programme for the development of the whole Africa's energy sector and in response to Africa's Agenda 2063, in realisation of delivering 'The Africa We Want' and the SDGs is achieved. AFREC welcomes all development partners who wish to collaborate on feasibility research/studies in 5 African Regions namely: Southern, Eastern, Western, Central and Northern in: Renewable energy in general, Bio-energy, Oil and Gas, Energy Efficiency, Energy Transition and the Africa Energy Information System. We work with Regional Economic Communities (RECs), Africa Regional Power Pools who are responsible for accelerating energy development at regional level for regional integration purposes, resources sharing and development of regional energy sector, in view of achieving continental energy efficiency and sustainable development.
