United States of America: Scaling up renewables
Tetra Tech, a US Agency for International Development contractor, is working with the government of Colombia to help reconstruct and strengthen the energy resilience of Providencia Island’s power grid following the destruction in the wake of Hurricane Iota in November 2020. The devastation comprised 98% of the island’s energy and road infrastructure, property, and motor vehicles.
Through USAID Scaling Up Renewable Energy programme, Tetra Tech has helped Providencia Island develop an Energy Master Plan that outlines clear pathways to diversifying the island’s energy mix through renewable energy generation.
The project also involved the first ever gender policy action plan on the part of the Fund for Non-Conventional Energy and Energy Efficiency in Colombia, including gender-inclusive training and communications for 52 employees.
