Energy Utility Partnership Program (EUPP): USAID anticipates awarding a five-year cooperative agreement to strengthen the capacity of utility executives and employees in USAID assisted countries to effectively manage and operate power systems, run financially viable businesses, and integrate different types of energy resources into their power grids. These partnerships will bring together professionals/peers to share and discuss real world power sector challenges and the best means to address them. Activities will focus on grid expansion, planning and strengthening of transmission and distribution systems to satisfy technical, economical, social, and environmental constraints while planning for future scenario options that assess uncertainties and minimize investment risks. Power sector experts will share lessons learned and collaborate to strengthen power systems with more open and flexible grids to integrate distributed energy resources into system planning, operations and investment decisions. In addition, partnership activities will focus on optimizing utility core business functions as well as support the adaptation to changing market realities across the full spectrum of power generation, delivery, and utilization.
