Energy Transitions & Investment in Emerging Markets

The landscape of development finance is undergoing dramatic shifts, with important ramifications for energy transitions in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). Supporting equitable and investable approaches requires strategies and evidence that respond to these shifting dynamics.

Hosted by the James E. Rogers Energy Access Project (EAP), this event will bring together thought leaders, practitioners, Duke alumni, and students to explore how impact-driven businesses, private sector capital, and concessional finance can adapt and thrive in this evolving environment.

The discussions about this rapidly developing sector will help attendees refine research agendas, advance policy work, and gain insights into challenges in energy access, development, and investment. The conversations will contribute to shaping EAP's strategic direction for the next decade.

The event will include opportunities to network with development and finance professionals (including Duke alumni) as well as students working on energy transitions in LMICs. A post-event reception will recognize and celebrate M.A. Rogers for her recent generous gift to EAP to enable the program to expand its impact in the coming years.

Event partners include the Center for Energy, Development, and the Global Environment (EDGE) at the Fuqua School of Business; Global Energy Access Network (GLEAN); Nicholas Institute for Energy, Environment & Sustainability; and Sanford School of Public Policy.
