Energy and Environment (E&E)
The Energy and Environment (E&E)
Program of Winrock International India (WII) promotes sustainable energy development
through accelerated commercialization of energy
efficiency and clean and renewable
energy technologies. The overarching goal is
to bring about significant improvement in the quality
of life of the people through sustainable solutions
linked to the development process and livelihoods.
The major initiatives of E&E are in the areas of
market development for renewable energy,
promotion of energy efficiency in different sectors,
and capacity building at various levels to enable and
improve access to finance and credit services for renewable
energy. E&E also works toward formulation of policies
that would lead to an enabling environment for clean
and renewable energy market development. Our activities
are well supported by our project offices in Andhra
Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, Chhattisgarh and Karnataka.
