The Alliance for Renewable Electrification (ARE) is a global industry association that brings together and supports renewable energy companies and their partners to accelerate private-sector-led renewable electrification in emerging markets. ARE operates across Africa, Asia-Pacific, and Latin America & the Caribbean.
In 2026, ARE expanded its mandate from its previous focus as the Alliance for Rural Electrification to a broader focus on renewable electrification. Its work now covers energy access and productive use, commercial and industrial electrification, grid integration and utility-scale renewable projects.
ARE supports the renewable energy industry through policy advocacy, market intelligence, business development, partnerships, events and investment facilitation. It also works with governments, regulators, investors, development partners and energy users to create opportunities for renewable energy deployment.
