Peter McPherson I1D111111 Administrator, Agency for * 119190 International Development Dear Mr. McPherson: Subject: i AID's renewable energy projects (GAO/ID-82-57) We have reviewed U.S. efforts to promote renewable energy and fuelwood projects in developing countries. Because AID's renewable energy and fuelwood projects are in early implementation stages, we believe it premature to evaluate the field projects. Two issues surfaced during our initial work, however, which should be brought to your attention: slow project implementation and questionable field-testing of energy devices. If AID is to meet its goals of easing energy constraints to development and assisting developing countries in making the tran- sition to using various energy sources, including renewable energy sources capable of sustaining developing-country economies in the future, project implementation and energy device field-testing should be reviewed. We have discussed these matters with program officials and have incorporated their views into our report where appropriate. We look forward to hearing about your actions regarding the issues we out- line in this report and will be happy to discuss these matters with you. The cooperation our staff received during this review is most appreciated. We are sending copies of this letter to the Chairmen of the Subcommittee on Energy, Nuclear Proliferation and Government Processes, Senate Committee on Government Affairs; the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations; the Senate Committee on Foreign Relations; the House Committee on Foreign Affairs; the Subcommittee on Energy Research and Development, House Committee on Energy and (471999) 19 0
