Transforming Energy Access (TEA) invites applications from individual consultants or organisations to deliver a Technical Assistance Facility.
One successful applicant or consortium will deliver this TA facility, which will sit within the Research Programme Delivery Consortium (RPDC) delivered Support Services. This facility is one component of the Local Partnership Inclusion (LPI) project and aims to support local partners in applying for TEA funding and developing their technical capacity to successfully apply for future funding.
Transforming Energy Access (TEA) is a research and innovation platform supporting the technologies, business models and skills needed to enable an inclusive clean energy transition. TEA works via partnerships to support emerging clean energy generation technologies, productive appliances, smart networks, energy storage and more. It increases access to clean, modern energy services for people and enterprises in Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA), South Asia, and the Indo-Pacific, improving their lives, creating jobs and boosting green economic opportunities.
Aims
- The overarching aims of the LPI project are to:
- expand the geographical scope of the API work to include TEA’s new geographies,
- increase the inclusion of local expertise in the energy access sector, and,
- ensure that innovative solutions have been fully informed by comprehensive research, study and analysis of the contexts, realities, and socio-cultural paradigms in TEA’s geographies, within an empowering, enabling and partnership dynamic between all TEA partners.
