“The platform launching this year aims to empower 1 billion people with distributed renewable energy (DRE). This is renewable energy generated from sources such as mini-grid and off-grid solutions, located near the point of use, rather than centralized sources like power plants,” Ikea Foundation said in a statement.

Ikea Foundation said the new global platform will oversee the organisations’ combined matching funds.
