PANERECC - the Parliamentary Network on Renewable Energy and Climate Change was established by Members of the Parliamentary Committee on Energy, Communications and Public Works in December 2006 to promote New and Renewable Energy (NRE) as a tool for combating climate change and ensuring development using sustainable pathways.

Hosted by PC-ECPW – Parliamentary Committee on Energy Communication and Public Works in the Kenya National Assembly (Parliament of Kenya), PANERECC is open to all Members of Parliament with an interest in cleaner technologies, renewable energy, the environment and sustainable development. Members of the public from private sector, civil society and multilateral organizations are welcome to join as associate members.

The purpose of PANERECC is to ensure that parliamentarians are educated and better informed on the need for improved energy policy instruments and legal frameworks that address climate change mitigation as well as adaptation and that foster the accelerated development of renewable energy.
