The Energy Utility Partnership Program (EUPP) is a cooperative initiative between the United States Energy Association and the United States Agency for International Development under the Bureau for Economic Growth, Education, and Environment (E3). EUPP works around the world to promote energy security, clean energy access, and capacity building to achieve self-reliance.
The EUPP team strengthens the capacity of utility executives and employees in USAID-assisted countries to:
- Effectively manage and operate power systems,
- Run financially viable businesses,
- Increase energy access;
- Design off-grid power sources, and
- Integrate sustainable energy resources into their power grids.
By bringing countries together and encouraging knowledge sharing of global best practices, EUPP enables emerging markets with access to U.S. public and private sector expertise and technical assistance. These partnerships between the U.S. and energy sector companies, and agencies and organizations within USAID-assisted countries expedite the transfer of private sector, market-based approaches in utility operation and management, regulation, and environmental improvement.
This transfer of information enables country partners to improve management efficiency, achieve economic pricing, increase revenue collection, privatize utility functions, enhance employee productivity, and operate within a regulatory environment. These partnership activities are conducted through executive exchanges, training sessions, technical assistance using industry experts, in-country workshops and conferences.
