BUILDING LOW-CARBON ECONOMIES

Breakthrough storage solutions

The rapid expansion in intermittent sources of clean energy such as wind and solar power must be matched by investments in energy storage to ensure communities get electricity when they need it most.

A funding window under the Clean Technology Fund, GESP is a first-of-its-kind investment program dedicated to pilot storage solutions for renewable power, supporting clean energy transitions, and ensuring that consumers have reliable and consistent electricity throughout the day and night. Working hand-in-hand with the Renewable Energy Integration program, GESP is crowding-in public and private funding to accelerate cost reductions, integrate renewable energy into grids, and expand energy access for communities in some of the poorest countries of the world.
