Projects include the installation of 20 biogas digesters which will convert organic waste into energy in Nepal and an 8MW solar and wind hybrid power plant in Antigua and Barbuda

They intend to step up the exchange of knowledge on the energy transition to help tackle climate change

The project supports the government’s target to increase the share of renewables to 24% by 2030
