Independent (Nicholas Sekpey)
My name is Nicholas Selardi Sekpey, born in Tema, Ghana and I am Renewable Energy lead at the Alliance for Empowering Rural Communities (AERC) in Ghana. I am passionate about advancing renewable energy access, carbon accounting, and climate resilience in rural and underserved communities. My work centers on accelerating the transition to decentralized renewable energy solutions, particularly in rural Ghana where access to reliable, affordable, and clean energy remains limited. At AERC, I support the development of community projects in areas such as clean cooking, youth-led climate action, and energy mapping to identify local needs and guide investment decisions.

I hope to contribute to the Catalyst movement by sharing community-based experiences and youth-driven approaches that demonstrate how local innovation can accelerate clean energy access and climate resilience. From the Catalyst community, I hope to learn from diverse practitioners, build strategic partnerships, and gain mentorship and technical guidance to strengthen the impact and scalability of my initiatives.
