Renewable Energy

Established in 2015 by Bill Gates and a coalition of private investors concerned about the impacts of accelerating climate change, Breakthrough Energy supports the innovations that will lead the world to net-zero emissions. Breakthrough Energy is a network of entities and initiatives, including investment funds, nonprofit and philanthropic programs, and policy efforts linked by a common commitment to scale the technologies we need to achieve a path to net zero emissions by 2050. Breakthrough Energy encourages the development of new net-zero energy technologies, champions policies that speed innovation from lab to market, and brings together governments, research institutions, private companies, and investors to expand and enhance clean energy investment.

We believe that funding cutting-edge research; investing in new clean technologies as they evolve from idea to market; crafting smart, tailored, and scalable energy policies; and forging deep partnerships among policymakers, innovators, and markets will lead to positive solutions that will bring clean energy to all.
