WHERE WE WORK
Global knowledge leads to lasting, local solutions.
As the world transitions into a clean energy future, barriers to effective change continue to surface. No one solution will surmount these obstacles; what may be practical in one location may not be applicable in another. RAP’s experts understand the unique nuances of different markets and share proven efforts for your consideration.
RAP advisors can help you create reliable and adaptable solutions, just as we have done in the world’s largest power markets — leading to durable change across the world.

“Supporting government to better serve communities of color, indigenous communities, and low-and moderate-income communities is critical to RAP’s work. Hearing from and consulting with marginalized communities isn’t just a matter of equitable inclusion — it’s essential to protecting the public interest and securing the nation’s energy future.”
