Expanding access to modern energy services to power economic and social development is the cornerstone of USAID’s energy-related mission.
To achieve this mission, USAID develops and implements programs that seek to:
- Support the construction and rehabilitation of infrastructure to restore basic services in post conflict and conflict-prone states
- Improve enabling environments, including policy, legal, regulatory, and commercial reforms, to boost energy sector performance and increase private sector participation and investment
- Enhance operational and commercial performance of public and private sector institutions, including utilities
- Promote increased energy trade and regional power pools
- Help countries reduce their overall carbon emissions and address climate change through clean energy and energy efficiency projects.
