A continental non-profit membership association galvanising
Africa's adoption of clean, reliable energy
ACEB is a continental non-profit membership association galvanising Africa's adoption of clean, reliable energy. It coalesces businesses, policymakers, nonprofits and institutions to increase clean energy investment and procurement, and to credibly claim renewable energy across the continent.
As energy is central to socio-economic advancement, we advocate for aspirational, high-ambition energy investment, development, and consumption.
We do this by providing expert analysis, policy and regulatory advocacy, training and education and expanding innovation in clean energy markets.
We collaborate with governments, financial institutions, nonprofits and institutions. We welcome partnerships and supporters.
We unlock this investment by simposting demand for renewables and supporting the design of the markets that deliver them. We capitalise on the intersection of Energy Attribute Certificates (EACs) and Carbon Credits to maximise, as core tools for verifying renewable consumption, signal demand for, and catalyse finance for new clean power.
Africa Clean Energy Buyers (ACEB) is founded by Enam Akoetey-Eyiah to serve as both a bridge—bringing stakeholders together—and a catalyst—harnessing collective power to drive innovation, market development, and accelerated action across Africa's energy markets.
Enam brings over two decades of pioneering work across climate and carbon-asset project development, international development, education, renewable-energy market development, and policy and regulatory innovation in Africa and globally.
She serves on the Methodological Expert Panel for the Paris Agreement's Article 6.4 mechanism and is a member of the Technical Working Group revising the Greenhouse Gas Protocol's Scope 2 guidance.
Before founding ACEB, she established reNewClimate in 2006, a pioneer carbon-asset developer that created and sold forestry credits on the voluntary market in 2007. reNewClimate continues its project development and advises corporates on climate, sustainability, and clean-energy strategies. Enam led the development of the I-REC market in Africa and is a regular speaker at regional and international forums on Africa's energy paradox and opportunities.
She has advised and led corporates to measure, report, and account for greenhouse-gas emissions and to design credible net-zero strategies worldwide. Enam owns a forest in Ghana and supports community reforestation and afforestation by donating nursery inputs and seeds.
She holds a multidisciplinary academic background: BSc in Marketing; MSc in Development Studies; MBA in Leadership; and is an LL.M. candidate in Energy and Environmental Law at the University of Birmingham. She also holds professional qualifications in teaching, GHG accounting and reporting, and PRINCE2.
Enam chairs the governing board of a high-achieving school in London, England. She is a traditional leader—Nana Efua Adadzewa I, Safohen to the Paramount Chief of the Ekumfi Traditional Area—and a proud mother of three.
