What We Do

Since 1992, RAP has been advancing policies that help countries transition toward a clean energy future.

We work directly with governments and decision-makers across the globe, helping them see clean energy through a new lens.

By developing data-informed, real-world solutions — that are also cost-effective and reliable — RAP strives to create stronger, more equitable communities.

What Guides Our Work

We know the clean energy transition is not easy work.

RAP assists decision-makers with strategic guidance on the regulatory and market reforms needed to drive decarbonization. Our technical assistance addresses immediate challenges while our thought leadership pushes the conversation and problem-solves for the future. RAP provides decision-makers with thoughtful analysis through traditional and digital mediums. Through trainings and technical assistance, our experts provide policymakers and stakeholders with the knowledge and tools to implement effective policy solutions.

RAP strives to center people in all we do. We continue to educate ourselves on energy justice and listen to communities most impacted by energy inequities. RAP emulates the Initiative for Energy Justice when they define ‘energy justice’ as “the goal of achieving equity in both the social and economic participation in the energy system, while also remediating social, economic, and health burdens on those disproportionately harmed by the energy system. Energy justice aims to make energy accessible, affordable, clean, and democratically managed for all communities.”

As we work to advance clean energy policy across the globe, RAP’s focus is on three policy goals that help drive a more efficient and just decarbonized energy future. These goals often interweave but we consider each an integral thread.
