AREU was established under ACCI (Afghanistan Chamber of Commerce and Investment) in 2013 as a not-for-profit trade association, representing Afghanistan’s renewable energy stakeholders such as the available resources, the producers and promoting the use of renewable energy in the country.

AREU helps our members build commercially and environmentally sustainable businesses whilst increasing the contribution of renewable energy to the Afghanistan’s electricity needs. AREU endeavors to accomplish the right RE regulatory framework for renewables and organics waste recycling to deliver an increasing contribution to cope with the increasing energy demand.

A dedicated Board of Directors led by the Chairman directs the AREU’s activities. A full-time executive team handles operational, policy, and communication issues, based at our conveniently located office in Kabul. We also retain a number of specialist advisors with industry expertise in individual sectors, to support the activities of the sector groups and policy development in general.
