Clean Energy: Green Power for Asia's Future Growth
With energy demand projected to almost double in the Asia and Pacific region by 2030, there is an urgent need for innovative ways to generate power while at the same time reducing greenhouse gas emissions. Compounding the problem is widespread energy poverty across Asia with almost a billion people still without access to electricity.
As many of ADB’s developing member countries (DMCs) forge ambitious plans to meet these challenges ADB is committed to helping them achieve access to clean energy for all.
