About the programme:

The PACEsetter fund was constituted by India and the USA in 2015.
It is a joint fund to provide early-stage grant funding to accelerate the commercialization of innovative off-grid clean energy products, systems, and business models.
The funds aim is to improve the viability of the off-grid renewable energy businesses that sell small scale (under 1 megawatt) clean energy systems to individuals and communities without access to grid connected power or with limited/intermittent access.
