2025 60 Decibels Energy Initiative

A movement to listen better, measure smarter, and drive impact in off-grid energy.

The 60 Decibels Energy Initiative unites leading off-grid energy companies and funders to understand and improve customer impact — directly from the people who matter most.

We’re creating a new standard for how social performance is measured in the energy sector. With streamlined tools, comparable benchmarks, and scalable listening, we help organisations understand their impact and use insights to grow.

Together, we are shifting the norm towards listening at scale and making data useful for enterprises, investors, and the sector as a whole.

Join us in 2025 to:

  • Hear directly from your customers
  • Understand your impact, experience, and areas for growth
  • See how your performance stacks up against your peers
