Expanded access to energy services to alleviate poverty, power economic growth, and advance social development
To help alleviate poverty, power economic growth, and advance social development, Chemonics supports initiatives to expand access to modern energy services. We offer development solutions that promote a low-carbon future by modernizing energy sector policy and legal and regulatory frameworks, and by strengthening human and institutional resources to plan, manage and implement change in ministries, utilities and regulatory bodies.

Chemonics integrates clean energy with broad client-funded initiatives in areas such as economic policy reform, local governance, private sector development, and financial services. We work with stakeholders at global, national, regional, and local levels to restructure energy sector policy, laws, and regulations; build human and institutional capacity; apply clean technology solutions; improve utility management; and facilitate energy infrastructure finance.
 
Enabling Environment Reforms: We develop policy, legal, regulatory, and commercial reforms to improve energy sector governance and performance and increase private sector participation and investment.
 
Institutional Strengthening and Utility Management: We enhance the operational and commercial performance of public and private sector energy institutions, including electric power utilities.
 
Low Carbon Growth: Our projects help countries reduce their carbon emissions and address climate change by using low emissions development strategies and by designing and implementing programs to facilitate effective integration of renewable energy and energy efficiency initiatives.
 
Energy Infrastructure: We assist in energy sector infrastructure rehabilitation in post-conflict and post-disaster countries.
 
Rural Clean Energy: We design and implement off-grid renewable energy solutions for rural populations.
