The Rockefeller Foundation and partners in Indian launched an effort to address the twin challenges of energy deprivation and poverty. The result is SPEED, or Smart Power for Environmentally-sound Economic Development, which seeks to identify and showcase scalable business models and implementation plans for addressing energy access. SPEED intends to trigger economic activities in underprivileged areas of the developing world, while simultaneously providing diesel-replacement opportunities to telecom towers and farmers who still use diesel-driven pumps and lighting generators. The Agenda for Action report builds upon the Strategic Transformation Plan for SPEED.
