Initiative Partner: The Energy Farm International Foundation is an international foundation based in Norway, aiming to develop and establish energy centers, known as “energy farms,” worldwide. These centers both produce and utilize renewable energy—primarily solar energy and biomass. The activities of these centers are based on three principles: serving as a hub for knowledge—from know-how to demonstration; being a place for business—production, utilization, and supply of renewable energy; and acting as a meeting place—at the local, regional, and national levels.

The initiative is implemented under the Fund for Bilateral Relations at the national level, co-financed by the EEA Financial Mechanism and the Norwegian Financial Mechanism for 2014–2021.
