The transition to renewable energy is vital for reducing reliance on fossil fuels and achieving a sustainable energy future. APRC focuses on facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources like solar, wind, and hydro into national grids. This involves advocating for policies that provide incentives for renewable energy investments and removing barriers such as regulatory uncertainties and financial constraints. By supporting the development of renewable energy infrastructure, APRC aims to increase the share of renewables in the energy mix, thus contributing to SDG 7’s target of affordable and clean energy for all.
