Functioning Of The ECP

The ECP shall work towards securing public-private partnership that aims to leverage private sector business resources in both the U.S. and India to promote commercial project development work in clean energy infrastructure and energy efficiency; and support the sustainable development of energy sectors in both countries.

USTDA proposes to focus on project development work under the ECP (such as feasibility studies, technical assistance in business development, technology evaluation etc.) in clean energy and energy efficiency, that are likely to lead to increased opportunities for export of cutting edge technology, equipment, products and expertise from the U.S. to India. We also support trade missions to the U.S. focused on sectors that the U.S. private sector is globally competitive and at the cutting edge. Clean Energy, Unconventional Gas, Energy Efficiency are all such sectors.

The U.S. Trade and Development Agency (TDA) will provide guidance and support to the ECP, and has already committed funding for some technology exchange programs in the field of clean energy and energy efficiency solutions. Potential areas for such exchanges include smart grid applications, grid-scale solar power development, unconventional gas, clean coal, and industrial energy efficiency.
