What the grant funds
The speaker program will increase awareness among Andhra Pradesh and Telangana policy makers about valuable lessons learned from U.S. experts as they worked with state governments in the United States to achieve similar renewable energy goals. The result will be the two states successfully develop policies that embrace solar and wind energy for the benefit of the state and also to set these two states up to be models for other states that will pursue similar goals. The project will also facilitate social, professional, and economic relationships that will benefit both countries. Project Objectives: 1. At least five U.S. speakers will engage in workshops on one or more of the target topic areas in both Andhra Pradesh and Telangana. 2. Post workshop surveys completed by the participants will indicate an increased awareness and knowledge of best practices in developing renewable energy policies. 3. The governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana develop renewable energy policies and projects that are responsible and respectful of the local population and environment. 4. The governments of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana demonstrate progress toward their 2022 and 2030 targets in renewable energy production.
