This webinar takes a deep dive into the dynamic and rapidly evolving policy and regulatory environment, current market conditions and opportunities for corporate procurement of renewable energy in Southeast Asia.

 

This region is a powerhouse of global economic growth, manufacturing and, increasingly, greenhouse gas emissions. Governments are grappling with how to implement their commitments under the Paris Agreement while still meeting increasing energy demand.

In this webinar, Alexia Kelly, Partner at Allotrope Partners, and Letha Tawney, Director of Utility Innovation at WRI, introduces an innovative public-private partnership, the Nationally Determined Contribution Investment Accelerator (NDCIA), which seeks to dramatically increase deployment of renewable energy in South East Asia and other key emerging markets by 2020. Joining forces to launch the NDCIA are WRI, Allotrope Partners and the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), with support from the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).

The webinar is co-hosted by World Resources Institute and Allotrope Partners.
