USAID has awarded Tetra Tech a five-year, USD 29.7 million single-award contract for the continuation of its Scaling Up Renewable Energy project (SURE II).

Tetra Tech has announced that the US Agency for International Development (USAID) awarded the Company a five-year, USD 29.7 million single-award contract for the continuation of its Scaling Up Renewable Energy project (SURE II).

Recent advancements in renewable energy technologies and business models have made solar and wind power viable options for emerging economies. Battery storage prices also have declined, providing opportunities to meet demand through innovative, market-driven options.

Tetra Tech worked with USAID and 20 partner countries under the previous SURE I contract to integrate new technologies, promote competitive procurement of renewable energy generation, support development of progressive energy policies, and advance gender equality in the energy sector.

Under SURE II, Tetra Tech will provide technical services to promote reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible solutions to increase the adoption of renewable and advanced energy technologies. Activities may include the creation of programs to integrate renewable energy into existing power grids, and enhancement of national strategic energy planning to capitalize on renewable technologies that increase energy security and reduce costs. Tetra Tech also will support the development of an innovation fund that will attract new and nontraditional partners to scale up the deployment of renewable energy technology.
