Legacy Project
Colombia Clean Energy Program
Funder: USAID
Project Timeline: This project was completed in October 2016.
Country: Colombia
Program Area: Clean Energy & Circular Economy
The vast majority of Colombia’s citizens are connected to the power grid and receive electricity from low-emissions sources like hydropower and natural gas. That’s a good thing. Unfortunately, many people in rural areas have no access to electricity or have to rely on dirty and expensive diesel generators. This program helps expand renewable energy and energy efficient technologies to underserved populations through technical assistance, project development and policy reforms.
