USAID's Tube Well Efficiency Improvement Program
The goal of USAID's Tube Well Efficiency Improvement Program is to demonstrate the potential to significantly improve the efficiency of the use of electricity in the world's largest irrigation-based agricultural system. The purpose of TWEIP is to reduce peak electricity demand of highly subsidized agricultural customers. TWEIP will achieve this purpose by replacing up to 11,000 highly inefficient irrigation tubewell pump-motor sets with an equal number of much more energy efficient motor-pump-sets.
