PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The program focused explicitly on incorporating renewable energy into planning, promoting smart incentives, building an enabling environment for renewable energy policies and frameworks, and mobilizing finance. The program collaborated with diverse stakeholders, partners, and regional organizations in four Lower Mekong (LM) countries, Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam, and shared lessons learned and best practices among additional ASEAN member states, including the Philippines and Indonesia. USAID Clean Power Asia’s goal was to accelerate the regional transition to a high performing, low carbon power sector, that was to be accomplished with three interconnected outcomes: high renewable energy scenarios included in energy planning; improved enabling policy, regulatory, and technical environment for renewable energy deployment; and increased investment in and deployment of grid-connected renewable energy projects.
