Powering Renewable Energy Opportunities (PREO) Open Call 2025 (up to EUR 200,000)

Applications are now open for Powering Renewable Energy Opportunities (PREO) to support the implementation of Productive Uses of Renewable Energy (PURE) in sub-Saharan Africa. This open call will accept applications from enterprises seeking to pilot innovative PURE business models in sub-Saharan Africa in sectors including (but not limited to) solar water pumping for irrigation, cold storage for food, agro processing of crops (e.g. milling, drying, oil press), food value chain processing activities, electric mobility for taxi drivers and fishing boats, and more. These can be start-ups at advanced concept stage or operational small and medium-sized enterprises.

PREO promotes the productive use of renewable energy (PURE) in sub-Saharan Africa and the Pacific Island Countries to stimulate local economic development and support global progress towards the Sustainable Development Goals (SDG7, SDG8 & SDG13). By bolstering investment and engagement in the PURE sector, PREO strives to realise the potential of PURE as a key driver in a just and inclusive global clean energy transition. The PREO programme supports collaborative partnerships that are designed to meet the specific needs of local communities.
