Regional and Global Energy Interconnection (RGEI)
The Regional and Global Energy Interconnection (RGEI) Initiative facilitates the transition of energy systems to electricity-centred and interconnected modern energy systems. The RGEI aims to:
- Discuss enabling policy and regulatory frameworks for regional and global energy system integration;
- Build consensus on facilitating the energy transition through an increased share of renewable energy in energy
Consumption and increased grid interconnection; Encourage CEM member countries to engage in the RGEI process and seize opportunities for cooperation.

Green Powered Future Mission (GPFM)
The Green Powered Future Mission (GPFM), launched within the second phase of the global intergovernmental initiative Mission Innovation (MI2.0), is a public-private partnership with members from MI countries, private sector companies and international organisations. It aims to demonstrate that by 2030, power systems in different geographies and climates can effectively integrate up to 100% variable renewable energies, like wind and solar, in their generation mix, and maintain a cost-efficient, secure and resilient system.
The GPFM is a 10-year endeavor which will accelerate innovation in clean energy by demonstrating innovative solutions to transform the present system.

Green Grids Initiative (GGI)
Electricity grid infrastructure is critical to enable the clean energy transition and deliver the global pledge to triple renewables by 2030. No transition without transmission.
The Green Grids Initiative (GGI) brings together key actors (including governments, finance institutions, operators, regulators, industry, academia, and civil society) to provide a conduit for investment and assistance to accelerate the deployment of green grids globally.
Demand-led working groups are driving forward priority regional and thematic projects, to address gaps in the international landscape. This includes newly launched technical assistance programmes, including the Electricity Transitions Playbook, as well as coordinating support for critical regional infrastructure projects.
