Overview
Rapid decarbonization of electricity generation is essential to fighting climate change. Organized wholesale markets account for roughly two-thirds of U.S. generation. These markets are "designed" by policymakers, and current designs are not compatible with deep decarbonization. The project will work with academics and practitioners to develop new models for electricity markets around deep decarbonization and variable renewable energy.

Grants to this Grantee
for electric mobility initiative in India
World Resources Institute (WRI) is actively engaged in various geographies to produce relevant e-mobility research and provide deep technical assistance that supports stakeholders in delivering results. WRI’s electric mobility initiative in India has been working extensively with the Indian government and various state governments on developing the EV ecosystem and contributing to India’s strengthened commitment to the e-mobility transition. This grant will allow WRI to continue to support this transition and work closely at the subnational level with state governments to support the planning and implementation of EV initiatives, provide necessary technical assistance and enable capacity development within government departments, and facilitate collaborations between public and private sector stakeholders.
