About Us

The vision of EEU is to provide evidence-based, impactful, data-driven research on energy and environmental economics issues for South Africa, the African continent and the world. EEU is hosted by the Department of Economics at the Faculty of Economics and Management Sciences (EMS) at the University of Pretoria. It comprises a group of enthusiastic, internationally recognised, expert researchers in energy economics and policy research.

The EEU team aims to conduct analysis toward offering innovative policy recommendations and build a solid knowledge and understanding base of the energy economics fundamentals. EEU trusts in the next generation of energy economists; thus, capacity building is at the forefront of our activities. We combine our expertise in energy economics and modelling with our leadership skills to train PhD and Postdoctorate researchers to become the energy leaders of tomorrow.
