Quantum Leap in Wind Power Development in Asia and the Pacific

The Quantum Leap in Wind Power Development in Asia and the Pacific (QLW) is a regional capacity development technical assistance of the Asian Development Bank (ADB) under the Energy (renewable energy) sector.

Participating Develioping Member Country governments are expected to achieve their targets for installed wind power capacity through the formulation of road maps, improved knowledge and capacity, better quantification of wind resource potential, and the identification of viable wind projects.

QLW will (i) draw up wind energy development road maps for better planning and facilitating public private partnership, (ii) assess wind resources in four countries (Mongolia, the Philippines, Sri Lanka, and Viet Nam) to reduce start-up time and manage resource risk, (iii) manage regional knowledge and build capacity to facilitate the transfer of knowledge and regional cooperation, (iv) prepare pre-feasibility studies, and (v) develop business and financing models to make wind projects in participating countries more bankable.
