The RESET Network will launch in 2026. We invite interested parties to find out more...
What we do
What we do
Foster collaboration and knowledge exchange that accelerate a rapid and just energy transition
Conduct frontier economic and policy research, modeling, and evaluation on energy transition, with a focus on emissions pricing
Connect local researchers and decision-makers across the Global South to collaborate in sharing knowledge and building technical capacity
Encourage more participatory, transparent, and empowered approaches to energy planning
Translate technical analysis and modeling into actionable guidance and tools for decision makers to support credible energy transition plans.
Provide independent, evidence-based research and policy analysis—not lobbying or advocacy—empowering local partners to make informed decisions on their own terms.
Why it matters:
Why it matters:
Decarbonising energy production in the Global South is essential to avoiding dangerous climate change, but these countries get only 20% of global clean energy investment
This investment gap represents both a climate risk and a massive untapped opportunity
Current energy planning often fails to incorporate up-to-date and country-specific research that uses open-source models, transparent information, and collaborative processes
Countries across the Global South need trusted local experts who understand their conditions and can help bridge gaps between research, policy design, and investment
We bring together:
We bring together:
South-led economic and policy innovation for energy and climate transition grounded in local needs
An inclusive, collaborative, and transparent approach across a multi-country network, producing open-source and locally tailored tools, resources, and reports
Training to bridge gaps in technical and institutional capacity across researchers and decision-makers to achieve better policy outcomes
If we succeed:
If we succeed:
Countries in the Global South accelerate their actions to reduce climate change and develop more sustainably
Governments undertake deep transformation of energy planning and investment processes
Local researchers become more influential voices in national energy planning
Local communities benefit from more secure, sustainable and affordable energy
Global initiatives use our tools to help deliver on a shared vision for a rapid and just energy transition
What we provide:
What we provide:
Cutting-edge economic and policy research and tools that support a rapid and just energy transition
Free, open-source data, tools, publications and policy briefs
A multi-country network for information sharing and collaboration among researchers and decision-makers working on energy transition and climate change mitigation in the Global South
A platform that complements, leverages, and partners with other initiatives supporting energy and climate transition
Researcher training and capacity building
The RESET Network is an international, non-profit research and engagement network, coordinated by the Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) and launching in early 2026. The RESET Network evolved from the Multi-Country Electricity Transition (MCET) Network, a group of academics and energy modelers. MCET will continue its work within the broader RESET Network.
