Why us

Independent Research for an Energy-Sovereign Africa

Actionable data. Local expertise. Decision-grade insights

We provide the technical foundation for Africa’s energy transition. By combining deep subsurface data with transparent economics, we ensure that energy projects are built on evidence, not assumptions.

The Collective

Our strength lies in our network. We mobilize Africa’s top engineers, economists, and data scientists to solve the continent's most complex energy puzzles.

Purpose

Your security and peace of mind drive us to be better everyday. Simplifying the complex, saving you money and staying ahead of rapidly changing technology are why we wake up each morning. We’re geeks with a cause.

Process

It’s not just what we do, but how we do it. Our time tested delivery methods, communication process and premium software and hardware tools ensure consistent results and customer satisfaction again and again.

Reclaiming the African Narrative

By localizing technical expertise and standardizing energy data across regional chapters.

AER operates at the intersection of industry reality and academic rigor. We don’t just observe the market; we provide the frameworks—from methane measurement to power grid modeling—that allow African nations to lead their own energy future. We are one collective with one goal: to ensure development is data-driven and evidence-led.

Our impact

Drive you to achieve greater revenues, reduce inefficiencies and costs, and maximize profits.​
