Partnership to Advance Clean Energy (PACE) is the flagship program on clean energy between the U.S. and India to jointly work on a range of issues related to energy security, clean energy and climate change. PACE seeks to accelerate inclusive, low-carbon growth by supporting research and deployment of clean energy technologies and policies. PACE combines the efforts of several government and nongovernment stakeholders on both the U.S. and Indian sides and includes three key components: Research (PACE-R), Deployment (PACE-D), and Off-Grid Energy Access (PEACE). PACE-D includes a USD 20 million five-year technical assistance (TA) program which is led by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) and the U.S. Department of State and implemented in partnership with the Ministry of Power (MOP) and the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
