Policies, capabilities and institutions are just as important as transmission and distribution lines or solar parks. ADB supports its developing member countries in:
- establishing competitive electricity markets, adopting market pricing mechanisms, and regulating monopolies
- encouraging private sector participation, particularly public-private partnerships
- supporting research, legislation, technology development, and regulation
- adopting tariff structures to promote energy conservation
- training in energy planning, demand forecast, financial management, operations and maintenance of assets, and economic assessment
