Calling attention to the successful work of the Clean Energy Solutions Center’s Ask an Expert service, the Clean Energy Ministerial is featuring the service on its home page.

One of 13 Clean Energy Ministerial initiatives, the Clean Energy Solutions Center launched its Ask an Expert service in early 2012. Since then, its clean energy policy experts have responded to more than 130 requests for no-cost policy assistance from policymakers in more than 70 countries worldwide. The impact of that assistance has been wide-ranging, from evaluating policies and programs that advance the use of energy efficiency and renewable energy technologies to enhancing energy access and rural electrification.

The Clean Energy Ministerial is a high-level global forum to share best practices and promote policies and programs that encourage and facilitate the transition to a global clean energy economy.
