Improving Energy Security

USEA helps partner countries strengthen their energy security by diversifying supply sources, reducing reliance on adversarial or high-risk vendors, and accelerating the adoption of trusted U.S. technologies. By promoting regional interconnections, clean energy integration, and transparent market practices, USEA bolsters technical resilience. These efforts enhance energy system reliability while creating opportunities for U.S. companies to deliver secure, innovative solutions that advance both partner and global energy security.

Enhancing Grid Resilience

USEA helps host countries build resilient, adaptive power systems through technical training, modern grid management, and advanced U.S. technologies. By leveraging modeling and evidence-based analysis, USEA equips partners with data-driven insights to anticipate and mitigate risks, optimize investments, and strengthen decision-making. Addressing challenges like extreme weather, cyber threats, and demand fluctuations, while promoting smart grids, energy storage, and diverse generation, USEA enhances reliability and creates opportunities for U.S. companies to deliver innovative solutions that support long-term grid resilience.

De-risking investment 

USEA fosters stable investment environments, reduces barriers to entry, and encourages private sector involvement, while building confidence among U.S. companies pursuing opportunities in emerging energy markets. We do this by providing technical assistance, capacity building, and policy guidance to improve energy governance, promote transparent regulations, and align with international standards.

Leveraging Financing/Bankability

USEA strengthens the financial viability of energy projects by improving their bankability and attracting both public and private investment. Through technical assistance, project preparation support, and alignment with international financial standards, USEA helps host countries structure projects that meet investor requirements and reduce risks. By engaging with development banks, export credit agencies, and private financiers, USEA creates pathways for U.S. businesses to access capital and secure partnerships, enabling them to compete effectively in emerging energy markets and deliver high-quality solutions worldwide.
