Description

The Energy Policy 2009 aligns ADB's energy operations to meet energy security needs, facilitate a transition to a low-carbon economy, and achieve ADB's vision of a region free of poverty. The policy represents a coherent translation of important elements of Strategy 2020 that prioritize energy-related objectives and identify the institutional capabilities needed for the future within a changing regional, global, and technological context.

ADB's new energy policy aims to help DMCs to provide reliable, adequate, and affordable energy for inclusive growth in a socially, economically, and environmentally sustainable way. To this end, ADB's energy policy has three pillars: promoting energy efficiency and renewable energy; maximizing access to energy for all; and promoting energy sector reform, capacity building, and governance.
