What our Members say - The Alliance for Renewable Electrification

ARE is an amazing network platform that connects thousands of stakeholders across the sector. The events, webinars, case studies and newsletters have been great tools to showcase our activities. These tools have increased our visibility and enabled us to reach more targeted audiences.

ARE has a strong network. They introduced us to numerous developers and regulators across multiple markets that were critical for our growth. By publishing our case studies, ARE helped us attract valuable feedback and new opportunities. Ultimately, this support enabled us to scale and further legitimise our technology

Smarter Microgrid has been a member of ARE since 2018. We find that the ARE is the leading business association in promoting distributed renewable energy, especially to initiate and sustain economic development in developing countries. As this is also our corporate focus, it is hardly surprising that we find the ARE’s activities highly resonant with our our mission. We find their professionalism and organisation impressive, especially in articles and webinars for example, all of which helps us to make contact with like-minded companies, both as partners and customers.

Bob Carnell
Smarter Microgrid Limited
Director of Business Development

We have worked with ARE on the industry consultation for the EU Technical Facility. We also took part in the DRE Recovery Campaign by providing input but also hearing from other companies. So far, it has been very interesting and important for us to be collaborating with ARE and ARE Members.

Diane Domkam
ENGIE Energy Access
Policy Coordinator

Collaboration with diverse stakeholders is essential for us, which is why we chose to work with ARE. For example, the connection with EAIF proved very valuable. Through ARE, we generated new business opportunities and strengthened our brand visibility thanks to their communications and marketing support during the event.

We are very pleased with our Membership in ARE. Between finding new investment leads and attending high-level delegations, in particular with energy access initiatives in the EU and across Africa, ARE has provided us with the right access and knowledge to grow our business and meet like-minded companies. The network and information provided through ARE Membership is invaluable for companies across the energy access spectrum.

One of the activities that we have done through ARE that helped the most was the participation in the ARE Investment Academy. Prior to this, we had limited experience in interacting with investors and raising capital. The Investment Academy introduced us to the language and the processes that are used when seeking and closing investments and it taught us that we had the right to negotiate terms. It also introduced us to programs like GET.invest.
