ACE-ESD was created with the objective to become a world-class regional hub for research and training for African engineers, researchers, policy makers, and energy utility managers. The center trains Masters and Ph.D. students in Renewable Energy, Electrical Power Systems, and Energy Economics. The center established the Grid Innovation and Incubation Hub (GIIH), which is a research, innovation and entrepreneurship initiative.
