Energy 4 Impact (formerly known as GVEP International) works to increase the quality of life for people in developing countries through access to energy. We provide energy sector participants with operational, financial and technical advice to accelerate the growth of private sector businesses that deliver energy access. We help businesses and entrepreneurs to secure capital, technology, expertise and networks which enable them to become profitable and sustainable.
