Focus Areas
Offering expertise in the strategic, technical, and policy aspects of sustainable energy markets
Access to reliable energy services is a cornerstone of development. We advise governments around the world on reforms and partnerships that can help countries build more stable energy sectors. With our partners, we work to:
- Advance energy sector resilience and security, new generation capacity, and energy-efficient solutions.
- Foster enabling policy and regulatory environments.
- Catalyze public and private investment in energy.
- Strengthen local capacity and champion locally led solutions to grow, innovate, and deliver quality energy services.
- Increase the professional participation and leadership of women in the power sector.
Our Approach
We provide technical guidance on legal, regulatory, and market restructuring efforts to increase the confidence of private investors in developing countries, and we support promising energy projects through strong industry connections and a global network of experts. To promote sustainability, we connect commercial and financial stakeholders in partner countries to build lasting supply chains.
We enhance the capacity of organizations across the energy value chain—from national electricity regulators to small, rural solar companies—by providing training and tools necessary for effective operations. Additionally, we also develop innovative processes to increase the professional participation and leadership of women in the power sector.

Expert Interview: Exploring Global Careers in Clean Energy
The energy sector is a dynamic space for new jobs and opportunities, especially as more economies transition to clean energy. It remains a male-dominated field, with only 16% of jobs in the sector filled by women. Despite this, women are making inroads and leading in exciting ways.
