The Toolbox on Solar Powered Irrigation Systems is made possible through the global initiative
Powering Agriculture: An Energy Grand Challenge for Development (PAEGC). In 2012, the United
States Agency for International Development (USAID), the Swedish International Development
Cooperation Agency (Sida), the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and
Development (BMZ), Duke Energy, and the Overseas Private Investment Cooperation (OPIC)
combined resources to create the PAEGC initiative. The objective of PAEGC is to support new and
sustainable approaches to accelerate the development and deployment of clean energy solutions for
increasing agriculture productivity and/or value for farmers and agribusinesses in developing
countries and emerging regions that lack access to reliable, affordable clean energy.
