Project Tools

REToolKit provides a broad set of tools to assist Bank task managers, country counterparts and policy makers to enhance the design and implementation of renewable energy (RE) projects. It incorporates best practices and lessons learned that have emerged from RE projects supported by the World Bank Group and others.
