World Resources Institute (WRI) is an independent national research organization that turns big ideas into action at the nexus of environment, economic opportunity, and human well-being. WRI works with various stakeholders to support policies and practices that are sustainable and profitable. WRI works with leaders in more than 50 countries for more than 30 years, with offices in Brazil, China, Europe, Africa, India, Indonesia, Mexico, and the United States. One of the programs that WRI manages is the Clean Energy Investment Accelerator or CEIA, an innovative public-private partnership that addresses barriers to clean energy deployment in the commercial and industrial sectors in emerging markets, which include Vietnam, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Jointly led by WRI, Allotrope Partners, and the U.S. National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), the program is supported by a range of public, private, and philanthropic partners. The CEIA is currently engaged in 5 countries and to date has provided continuous capacity building trainings to scale clean energy to over 5,000 people from 400+ public and private institutions. This engagement with energy buyers led to more than 50 MW of renewable energy pipeline with over 2 gigawatts of potential identified.
