Background
Under USAID’s Power Central Asia Activity (PCA), Tetra Tech established a virtual American Innovation Center for Central Asia (AICCA), which USAID officially launched in September 2022 at the USAID Clean Energy Forum in Almaty. The AICCA is a platform that facilitates partnerships between U.S. companies and Central Asian entities to support the region’s transition to clean energy in a safe, secure, uncoerced and resilient manner. Tetra Tech seeks proposals from U.S. and Central Asian companies and institutions.
Objective
This Request for Information (RFI) seeks to identify U.S. and Central Asian companies and institutions for business-to-business (B2B) partnerships, sharing of information and know-how, and networking opportunities in the areas of sustainable energy technologies, business methods, and financing that can contribute to the region’s transition to a clean energy future.
Submissions are requested in three areas: (1) U.S. companies and institutions interested in partnerships with specific Central Asian institutions; (2) Central Asian companies interested in partnerships with specific U.S. sustainable energy and technology companies; and (3) Central Asian education and non-government institutions interested in serving as a hub for information, education, and networking on U.S. clean energy technologies. Ideally application should demonstrate complementarity and/or synergies with existing development programs in the region.
Tetra Tech will support selected applicants with introductory workshops, capacity building, advisory and technical assistance services, preparation of concept notes and pre-feasibility studies, facilitation of investment attractions from development banks, public and private source of funding.
Respondents should provide concept notes or project proposals as described in Attachment A. Based on an evaluation of these responses, Tetra Tech may begin detailed discussions with one or more respondents.
