Powering Peace and Resilience

Nearly a billion people live without reliable power in fragile or conflict-affected contexts.  For them, energy is not just infrastructure, it is the enabler of recovery itself.

Energy for Recovery is PALiNVEST’s flagship programmatic pillar and strategic service center dedicated to embedding distributed renewable energy (DRE) into reconstruction and stabilization agendas.

It reframes energy access as a recovery architecture: modular, locally managed, and finance-ready.  Through hybrid mini-grids, storage systems, and micro-solutions, we power clinics, schools, and livelihoods; shifting response agencies from “keeping the lights on” to building the foundations of resilience.

From Concept to Policy Architecture

Building on two decades of field and policy work, PALiNVEST supports governments, donors, and private investors in translating pilot successes into national and regional frameworks.

Our approach combines technical expertise with local context. We co-design every system with community partners, ensuring adaptability and ownership. Each installation is built for durability, scalability, and low maintenance, supporting both emergency power and long-term economic recovery.

Our Energy for Recovery framework rests on five pillars:

  1. Continuity beyond the grid – securing essential services through renewable systems for health, water, and education.

  2. Scaling from pilots to national programs – embedding DRE components in reconstruction compacts and donor coordination.

  3. Localization and peacebuilding – training local cooperatives and technicians to operate systems, turning beneficiaries into economic actors.

  4. Blended finance and investment readiness – linking concessional finance, impact capital, and carbon credits.

  5. Integrated governance and diplomacy – aligning regional institutions and international platforms such as IRENA and the League of Arab States.

Strategic Business Function

Energy for Recovery operates as a specialized business unit within PALiNVEST, serving as a center for design, financing, and delivery of distributed renewable-energy systems across fragile markets.

It provides:

  • Policy and investment advisory services for governments and development banks.

  • Design and deployment of modular systems (i.e. PowerBox™, FieldVolt™, CivGrid™).

  • Coalition-building among humanitarian, climate, and private-sector actors.

Its objective is to position clean energy not as an add-on, but as core infrastructure for recovery economies; measurable, investable, and scalable.
