USAID - THE HAWAII-INDONESIA EXPERIENCE

How Utilities Can Partner Internationally to Support Renewable Energy Expansion

​

For utilities around the globe grappling with the unique challenges of bringing additional 

renewable energy into the electric grid, nothing beats learning from the first-hand experiences of those who have already made the transition.


USAID’s Energy Utility Partnership Program (EUPP) supports technical exchanges between utilities in the United States and counterparts in emerging markets. Through the EUPP, Indonesian government officials, engineers, and grid operators have learned first-hand the changes and innovations pioneered by Hawaii Electric Utility in its drive to achieve 100 percent renewable energy by 2045.
