The Greening the Grid toolkit provides guidance to developing countries in defining and implementing grid-integration road maps, a necessary step for the efficient, large-scale delivery of renewable energy sources to power grids. 

This fact sheet provides an overview of the resources and technical assistance available to energy system planners, regulators, and grid operators to overcome challenges associated with integrating variable renewable energy into the grid.

Greening the Grid's global toolkit provides concise overviews of emerging practices for addressing grid-integration challenges through policy, market, and regulatory mechanisms as well as guidance on applying these mechanisms to develop robust grid-integration road maps.

The resources and guidance material address several topics, including:

• Incentivizing new renewable energy generation
• Planning for smart grid technologies
• Increasing power system flexibility
• Integrating distributed generation
• Leveraging renewable energy and demand response to achieve long-term adequate supply
• Financing and implementing grid integration strategies

Greening the Grid also has a unique feature – Ask the Expert – by which power system stakeholders in developing countries can connect directly with experts from their grid integration expert network to provide remote consultation and advice. Learn more about this feature here.
