Under the South Asia Regional Initiative for Energy (SARI/Energy) Program, funded by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID), the U.S. Energy Association sponsored six participants in the Public Utility Research Center's (PURC) 29th International Training Program on Utility Regulation and Strategy. The two week training course was specifically tailored to the professional requirements of utility regulators and regulatory staff and designed to enhance the economic, technical, and policy skills required for implementing policies and managing sustainable regulatory systems for infrastructure sectors. The program was a collaborative effort between the World Bank and PURC that encompassed more than 50 sessions that included case studies, practical exercises and panel discussions with leading experts and international faculty.
