Mission Statement
We accelerate the growth of the cleantech sector across the globe by focusing on 2 strategic areas.
Through our $100M fund, co-managed by a consortium of Japanese companies, we aim to be a key part of the private sector’s response to the United Nations’ call to action on Sustainable Development from Japan and for the world.
We follow 5 of the UN SDGs
At Japan Energy Fund, we want to help bring these 5 Sustainable Development Goals to fruition.
10 – Reduce Inequalities
By investing in decentralised energy sources, we help ensure access to energy is non-discriminatory. Equal access to energy represents both an economic lifeline to the people in emerging markets and new opportunities for firms seeking to diversify their assets.
9 - Industry, Innovation, Infrastructure
Through the promotion of innovation across the sector we help guarantee that more advanced and reliable technologies have clear pathways to success and an easier time finding their appropriate market.
7 - Affordable and Clean Energy
By investing in the growth of innovative companies operating in the alternative energy sector, we help pave the road to clean energy not only being more widespread, but also cost-effective.

13 - Climate Action
Electricity and Heat production account for 25% of total CO2 emissions. Our work in promoting carbon-neutral or negative technologies will help bring this number down, assisting in mitigating the impacts of climate change.
17 - Partnerships for the Goals
None of the previous goals can be achieved on their own or by a single entity; this is why we promote cooperation between companies, governments and the international community.
Our Divisions
Ensuring global decarbonisation targets are met by contributing to development and continuously expanding an extensive portfolio of renewable generation assets.
We target operating renewable assets – including solar, wind, and geothermal – across emerging markets in the Middle East and Africa.
We invest in innovative energy-sector companies developing new technologies to help them expand to the Japanese market and accelerate their products worldwide.
A key component of our pipeline is ENECHANGE Insight Ventures, where all investment opportunities are thoroughly vetted by our in-house team of energy experts.
