Projects must be delivered as joint projects between Australian and Indo-Pacific organisations. Organisations in India, Japan and the United States of America can also be additional project partners.

The Australian Government has committed $50 million to this program. Up to $25 million will be available under this round, with grants ranging from $100,000 to $2.5 million.

The program was originally announced by the Quad – Australia, India, Japan and the United States – at the May 2023 Leaders’ Summit. It supports the implementation of the Quad Principles on Clean Energy Supply Chains – a foundation for engagement on clean energy supply chains in the Indo-Pacific.

We are holding information sessions about the program and applications process. Our final session is on Monday 9 December at 3-4pm AEDT.

Applications close at 5pm AEDT, 10 February 2025.
