Founded in 2018, E+ Energy Transition Institute is already connected to a global network of think tanks.
OUR STORY
The Brazilian energy transition has gained the perfect space to house and expand its debates.
E+ Energy Transition Institute originated from the inspiration of the team from the Institute for Climate and Society (iCS), with their experience in international dialogues about energy transition and low carbon economies. E+ Institute is being developed by iCS to become, subsequently, an autonomous and independent organization.
Founded in 2018, E+ Energy Transition Institute is already connected to a global network of think tanks. These centers of reflection are part of the International Network of Energy Transition Think Tanks (INETTT).
Since its foundation, adopting a multidisciplinary approach, the team from E+ Institute and its partners have researched, produced, gathered together and offered knowledge about advanced proposals in terms of energy transition.
This includes since information to qualify the debate to the design of new regulatory, institutional and financial arrangements, in addition to monitoring the technological revolution that has been modifying the way of producing, distributing and consuming energy.
