GET FiT Uganda has created an enabling framework for renewable energy Independent Power Producers (IPPs), leveraging USD 450 million of investment and 158 MW of renewable power generation. These results were achieved through a combination of smart design and effective implementation arrangements. The day-to-day implementation has been instrumental to the program achieving highly ambitious targets, resulting in a positive, transformational change for the Ugandan electricity sector.

GET FiT Uganda is a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) program managed by KfW in cooperation with the Ugandan Government. The program leverages commercial investment in small-, and medium sized Renewable Energy (RE) projects in Uganda.

Viet Nam has a long-standing energy policy orientation that emphasises the crucial role of natural gas in providing reliable, competitive electricity. However, despite the considerable achievements recorded by the gas sector to-date, the sector will need to become more efficient, more competitive, and more transparent if it is to serve the longer-term interests of Viet Nam which include ensuring energy security and addressing the issue of climate change.

The National Transmission Corporation (TransCo) is a government agency created under Republic Act No. 9136, otherwise known as the Electric Power Industry Reform Act (EPIRA) of 2001.

The Core Values of the ERC:

REN21 was created in 2004 as an outcome of the Bonn2004 International Conference on Renewable Energy. This “coalition of the willing” came together with one objective in mind: to support and accelerate the development of renewable energy.

From the outset, REN21’s mandate has been to collect, consolidate and synthesise a vast body of renewable energy data to provide clear and reliable information on what is happening in real-time.
