To expand the opportunity to participate in ACEF 2015 to a broader range of officials and practitioners, we are extending the deadline for abstract submissions to Friday, April 3. This year's Forum will feature 18 sessions covering a range of topics, including renewable energy grid integration, scaling up energy access through mini-grids, the Green Climate Fund, and many others.

This year, ADB welcomes three co-organizers to ACEF:

The US Agency for International Development (USAID) is the lead U.S. Government agency that works to end extreme global poverty and enable resilient, democratic societies to realize their potential.

The Call for Abstracts for ACEF 2015 is now open. As with last year, the Co-Chairs for each Thematic Track —Energy Efficiency, Renewable Energy, Energy Access, Policy and Regulation, Finance, Technology—have selected session topics focused on important cutting edge issues facing the clean energy community in Asia.
