The Secure Energy Project is shifting the global narrative on renewable energy.

Our economies and communities will thrive on clean energy.

Far from being a sacrifice, the renewable energy transition offers us a future of clean air, economic opportunity, stable prices and much greater energy access. So why does the transition feel so hard?
‍
Solar and wind power already make up over 80 percent of the capacity additions in electricity around the world. Yet, listening to the news, it seems the clean energy future is an open and difficult question.

The economics is on the side of renewables, but if we don’t ensure the government and the public is supportive of a shift to clean energy, we will not meet our deadline to clean our atmosphere in line with UN targets.

The Secure Energy Project has been designed to disprove the old myths and build global confidence that clean energy offers a cleaner, cheaper, safer and more secure future.

‍The Secure Energy Project supports three key actors in the energy transition movement.

Non-profit organizations
Renewable developers
Philanthropists

Campaign organizations have spent years fighting tough fossil fuel problems. Now we need to advocate for the real and available solution. Through centering hope and opportunity, we can reach many more people and mobilize new communities.

The Secure Energy Project is partnering with organizations in Africa, Latin America and Asia to build compelling white label campaigns that will draw new communities into demanding more renewable energy from their governments.

We need to triple our global renewable capacity by 2030

The energy transition requires massive political will to change, which requires massive public support. Right now the public still hears the wrong story about renewables.

The Secure Energy Project is changing the narrative around renewables.

Read Our Statement

What is the secure energy project?

The Secure Energy Project identifies obstacles to the renewable energy transition and solves for them. We are activating new communities, building new voices and gaining policy wins. By changing the story of renewables, we will shift power and thus political will to drive the renewable energy transition.

Our mission is to accelerate the energy transition in a way that benefits all of us, without sacrificing the speed required to get there.

The Secure Energy Project is committed to providing communication and campaign support to anyone with a commitment to increasing renewable energy capacity. We have a bias toward the global south where energy investment remains far too low. Our goal is to help organisations remove the obstacles that can slow the transition to a secure energy future. We believe that everyone should have access to clean, affordable, and reliable energy sources. We work with businesses, governments, and communities to ensure the shift to renewables is fast and fair so that we can create a brighter future for all.

The Secure Energy Project centers feminist principles of collaboration, deep-listening and intersectionality. We are an agile and effective team of global communication and campaign strategists that use our decades of experience to strategically shift power. Currently an all female staff, the project is led by Leila Aly El Deen. Leila is a seasoned expert in campaigns, strategic communications, grant-making and community organising. Leila has built & led campaigns for Greenpeace UK and USA, Purpose Climate Lab, C40 Cities and Bloomberg Philanthropies.
