Paving the way to universal energy access and net zero emissions
Developing countries are committed to expanding energy access while contributing to the global effort to address climate change. Achieving these goals requires not only ambition, but also robust financial resources and technical assistance.
Energy Transition and Investment Plans serve as actionable solutions for countries to design resilient energy systems that help achieve their energy and climate ambitions while unlocking environmental, economic, and social benefits. Developed in alignment with national policies and priorities, each plan offers in-country technical support to build institutional capacity and chart a clear path toward sustainable development.
Each plan includes a detailed investment roadmap that identifies specific opportunities and the types of finance required (public, private, concessional), which helps the country engage with investors and development institutions to attract funding.
SEforALL, with the support of partners, is currently focused on developing these plans in Africa, Asia, and Small Island Developing States (SIDS), ensuring that transitions are inclusive, just, and leave no one behind.
The ASEAN Energy Transition and Investment Roadmap was launched in October 2026 at the ASEAN Energy Business Forum. The plan sets out a pathway for the region to advance its energy transition, reduce emissions and identify the investments needed to support ASEAN’s commitment to achieving carbon neutrality strategy by 2050.
The Barbados Energy Transition and Investment Plan was launched during the 2025 SEforALL Global Forum in Barbados by President Mia Mottley. Barbados aims to become the first 100 percent renewable energy country as it moves away from a petroleum-based economy.
The Botswana National Renewable Energy and Power Sector Plan was launched in 2026. The plan sets out an integrated roadmap to transition the nation's energy sector through 2050, pairing rapid solar expansion with deep electrification across key economic drivers.
The Ghana Energy Transition and Investment Plan was launched in 2023. The plan brings forward Ghana’s commitment to achieving net zero by 2060 while fostering economic development.
The Kenya Energy Transition and Investment Plan was published before COP28 in 2023. The plan was developed on the backdrop of Kenya's commitment to champion the fight against climate change. It provides a harmonized roadmap for the country's energy transition, which represents a USD 600 billion investment opportunity by 2050.
The Nigeria Energy Transition and Investment Plan was first launched in 2021 and updated in 2024. The plan outlines a pathway for achieving net-zero emissions by 2060, while lifting 100 million people out of poverty and ensuring inclusive, sustainable development.
The Sierra Leone Energy Transition and Green Growth Plan was unveiled by President Julius Maada Bio in November 2024. The plan focuses on a green growth transition, specifically advancing clean technologies that can drive energy access and development for a country with a 27 percent electrification rate, while maintaining a low-carbon profile.
Announced in June 2025, SEforALL is partnering with NTPC, India’s largest power utility, to develop its comprehensive Energy Transition and Investment Plan. The plan will explore pathways for NTPC’s clean energy transition, as well as supporting India’s long-term energy security, climate, and development objectives.
