Regional : Integrated High Impact Innovation in Sustainable Energy Technology - Pilot Testing of Innovative Energy Technologies and Business Models (Subproject 3)

Sovereign Project | 52041-004

The knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) cluster on Integrated High Impact Innovation on Sustainable Energy Technology was approved by the President on 16 October 2018. The TA cluster will prepare energy system development scenarios and technology road maps and support the scale-up of innovative energy technologies in developing member countries (DMCs). The TA cluster is aligned with the energy policy of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). It will support ADB in implementing its Strategy 2030 and DMCs in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals, including their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) as part of the Paris Agreement on climate change. The TA cluster aims to achieve greater development impact through energy sector technology innovations in ADB operations to meet the SDGs and NDCs in Asia and the Pacific.

Description

The knowledge and support technical assistance (TA) cluster on Integrated High Impact Innovation on Sustainable Energy Technology was approved by the President on 16 October 2018. The TA cluster will prepare energy system development scenarios and technology road maps and support the scale-up of innovative energy technologies in developing member countries (DMCs). The TA cluster is aligned with the energy policy of the Asian Development Bank (ADB). It will support ADB in implementing its Strategy 2030 and DMCs in meeting the Sustainable Development Goals, including their nationally determined contributions (NDCs) as part of the Paris Agreement on climate change. The TA cluster aims to achieve greater development impact through energy sector technology innovations in ADB operations to meet the SDGs and NDCs in Asia and the Pacific.

The TA subproject 3 will have the following outcome: Use of sustainable innovative technologies in participating DMCs increased. The TA subproject 3 outcome will support the following outputs of the overall TA cluster: i) Pilot testing of innovative technologies deployed and impact assessment and knowledge solutions.

Project Rationale and Linkage to Country/Regional Strategy The TA subproject 3 will identify and support pilot demonstrations of innovative technologies and business models in coordination with ADB's regional departments, including cross-sector and thematic initiatives with, but not limited to, water, transport, environment, and urban sector groups; the Climate Change and Disaster Risk Management Thematic Group; and the Digital Technology for Development Unit. The TA subproject 3 will also finance impact assessment and knowledge solutions of pilot projects to assess the effectiveness and efficiency in the implementation of projects and provide on-hand information on project progress, particularly in relation to beneficiaries and results.

Project Data Sheets (PDS) contain summary information on the project or program. Because the PDS is a work in progress, some information may not be included in its initial version but will be added as it becomes available. Information about proposed projects is tentative and indicative.

The Access to Information Policy (AIP) recognizes that transparency and accountability are essential to development effectiveness. It establishes the disclosure requirements for documents and information ADB produces or requires to be produced.

The Accountability Mechanism provides a forum where people adversely affected by ADB-assisted projects can voice and seek solutions to their problems and report alleged noncompliance of ADB's operational policies and procedures.

In preparing any country program or strategy, financing any project, or by making any designation of, or reference to, a particular territory or geographic area in this document, the Asian Development Bank does not intend to make any judgments as to the legal or other status of any territory or area.
