Dear Ladies and Gentlemen:

On behalf of our client, Alternus Clean Energy,
Inc. (the “Company”), we submit this letter setting forth the response of the Company to the comments provided
by the staff (the “Staff”) of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”)
in its comment letter dated February 21, 2025 (the “Comment Letter”) with respect to the Company’s Preliminary
Information Statement on Schedule 14C (the “Information Statement”).

For your convenience, we have reproduced below
in italics the text of the Comment Letter, followed by the Company’s response. Capitalized terms used but not defined herein shall
have the meanings assigned to such terms in the Information Statement.

1. Please tell us the basis for your belief that an information statement on Schedule 14C is the appropriate schedule to be filed. Your beneficial ownership table on page 14 indicates that Alternus Energy Group Plc is your only shareholder holding more than 5% of your outstanding common stock. Based on 9,399,075 shares of common stock you had outstanding as of January 24, 2025, Alternus Energy Group Plc holds 24% of your outstanding common stock. Therefore, it appears that some of your consenting shareholders hold less than 5% of your outstanding common stock. Based on your disclosure, you may have engaged in a solicitation in order to obtain these consents. In your response letter, please describe each consenting shareholder’s relationship to the company as well as the sequence of events through which the consents of these shareholders were obtained and provide your analysis as to whether such activities constitute a solicitation, as defined in Exchange Act Rule 14a-1(l). Also, tell us who inquired about the voting intentions of the shareholders that consented to these actions. Alternatively, file preliminary proxy statement on Schedule 14A.

Company Response. The Company acknowledges
the Staff’s comment and has
