Partnership for National Energy Transformations

The Island Resilience Partnership has partnered with GridMarket, an artificial intelligence company that spun out of New York City’s Hurricane Sandy Task Force, to transition island nations toward renewable energy and resilient infrastructure – at no-cost to governments.

IRP is proud to have established public-private partnerships with the Republic of Palau, Independent State of Samoa, and Kingdom of Tonga to achieve their climate mitigation and climate adaptation goals.

GridMarket aggregates data points such as climate and weather, energy costs, energy use, local laws, subsidy programs, and physical characteristics of sites in order to automate renewable energy and microgrid recommendations for evaluated projects and properties. Utilizing GridMarket’s data-based platform, the IRP helps governments and island stakeholders achieve energy goals, measure their progress, and demonstrate how – and to what extent – they’ve made an impact. It’s critical that nations are not only supported in their efforts to address the Sustainable Development Goals, but given the tools to effectively quantify their impact.
