About

The Africa Utility Power Sector Exchange (AUPSE) was a global initiative to advance operational performance across the African electric power sector. Over three years, participating companies engaged with a global network of more than 250 companies, participated in five CEO roundtable events, accessed over 350 on-demand curated resources, and attended other events and training opportunities.

EEI launched AUPSE in 2017 in partnership with the U.S. Department of State and the Edison Foundation, and worked with the Association of Power Utilities of Africa as a supporting partner. With the conclusion of supporting grants, EEI sunset the AUPSE initiative at the end of 2019, but remains committed to working with African electric companies.

By engaging in international electricity dialogues, African electric companies can continue to strengthen their operations and accelerate innovation through the exchange of industry insights, trends, best practices, and lessons learned - a driver to the utility of the future - Abel Tella, Director General, Association of Power Utilities of Africa (APUA)
