Build Clean Electricity Resources
Accelerating the deployment of clean generation through better planning, markets, and procurement is essential to the clean energy transition. Clean power is now the most affordable source of new electricity in most markets, but investment still lags because regulation hasn’t kept step with technology. RAP helps governments and regulators modernize planning and procurement frameworks so clean generation can be built faster, competition can thrive, and investors have confidence to commit at scale.
Why This Matters
Electricity is the foundation of modern life and its potential has never been greater.
Wind, solar, and storage have transformed what’s possible for power systems worldwide. Countries that seize this opportunity can secure abundant, low-cost electricity to power homes, industries, mobility, and digital infrastructure, thereby driving competitiveness, improving quality of life, and strengthening energy security. The technologies are ready; the challenge is to ensure that market and policy frameworks move quickly enough to match their pace.
What needs to happen
Clean generation must be prioritized in planning, procurement, and dispatch, through transparent, competitive processes that bring the best-value resources online first. Strong, credible regulation and pricing frameworks are needed to guide investment, align decisions across institutions, and deliver value for consumers. When rules are clear and consistent, utilities and investors alike can act with confidence, making clean power the natural, lowest-risk choice. RAP’s Power System Blueprint sets out the essential reforms.
How Rap is Energizing Change
RAP helps redesign the rules that decide what gets built.
RAP’s market blueprints, procurement frameworks, and regulatory guidance translate global best practice into practical reforms that deliver real-world projects. We partner with policymakers and regulators to apply these tools in context, accelerating clean power investment and ensuring that affordable, reliable electricity becomes the foundation for growth.
