The Institute for Energy Economics and Financial Analysis (IEEFA) promotes the global transition towards a diverse, sustainable and profitable energy economy. While addressing the importance of protecting the environment and alleviating energy poverty, IEEFA’s work emphasises how the current energy transition makes financial sense for everyone—investors, governments, corporations and ratepayers.

 IEEFA does this by:

• producing market-based research that offers timely analysis of weaknesses in fossil-fuel investments, along with profit-making opportunities in the rapidly-growing renewable energy sector;
• directly influencing institutional investment leaders and policy-makers; and
• serving as the financial analysis arm of citizen efforts on energy issues, while offering strategic support to campaigns, alongside annual financial literacy training to advocates and attorneys worldwide.

After being established as a project of the Rockefeller Family Fund in 2007, IEEFA became an independent non-profit organisation in 2013. Since then, it has built a team of energy finance experts and communications professionals based in the mainland U.S. and Puerto Rico, Australia, the U.K., Hong Kong, India, the Philippines, Indonesia and Vietnam. It is headquartered in Cleveland, Ohio, USA.

IEEFA has produced over 300 in-depth reports, as well as daily commentary, substantive op-ed pieces and frequent interaction with news media around the world. IEEFA’s research and analysis has been instrumental in mobilising the capital investment from both the public and private sectors towards climate friendly projects, and has influenced the measures by which investors identify, justify and analyse their energy holdings.

To accelerate the transition to a diverse, sustainable and profitable energy economy.
