The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has partnered with the U.S. Department of Energy’s national laboratories to form the Advanced Energy Partnership for Asia. Led by USAID and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the Partnership supports energy sector transformation and the growth of clean, secure, and sustainable energy markets across Asia. This Partnership leverages U.S. expertise to provide rigorous, unbiased, third-party technical leadership to enhance the adoption of best practices and deploy advanced energy systems at speed and scale.
The Partnership helps USAID partner countries address the technical challenges of rapidly transitioning to advanced, integrated, and resilient energy sectors by focusing on key opportunities in the region to:
- Enhance energy utility planning and performance to accelerate the adoption of advanced clean energy technologies.
- Create a level playing field by assisting governments with fostering more supportive policy, legal, and regulatory frameworks that unlock private sector investment.
- Enable data-driven decision making by providing high quality data to support critical investment and deployment decisions.
- Advance regional energy integration through energy system planning and operational practices for efficient cross-border energy trade.
