Tetra Tech Awarded $29.7 Million USAID Renewable Energy Contract

The U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID) has awarded Pasadena-based Tetra Tech Inc. a five-year, $29.7 million single-award contract for the continuation of the agency’s Scaling Up Renewable Energy project, or SURE II.

Under SURE II, Tetra Tech will provide technical services to promote reliable, cost-effective, and environmentally responsible solutions to increase the adoption of renewable and advanced energy technologies, according to a statement issued by Tetra Tech.

Activities covered in the contract may include creating programs to integrate renewable energy into existing power grids and enhancing national strategic energy planning to capitalize on renewable energy technologies.

Tetra Tech also will support the development of an innovation fund, which will attract new and nontraditional partners to scale up the deployment of renewable energy technology.

“Tetra Tech is pleased to support USAID in developing sustainable renewable energy solutions for emerging economies,” said Dan Batrack, Tetra Tech chairman and CEO. “Tetra Tech will use its ‘Leading with Science’ approach to help deploy the best technologies, policies, and practices to transform the power sector in developing countries.”

Tetra Tech has worked with USAID and 20 partner countries under the previous SURE I contract to integrate new technologies, promote competitive procurement of renewable energy generation, support the development of progressive energy policies, and advance gender equality in the energy sector.
