Africa Renewable Energy Initiative rows with major donors
Civil society organisations from 25 African countries have accused the European Commission and France of gaining "premature, undue approval of their [electricity] projects" via the Africa Renewable Energy Initiative (AREI). They also accuse AREI of moving away from its principles of "sustainable development, enhanced wellbeing and sound economic development" and the board of directors has come under fire for a lack of transparency. The initiative aims to bring clean energy to Africa, with the first phase, aiming at 10,000 MW of power, due to begin this year. The organisations also object to the EU and France pushing to be on AREI's board.
