World Alliance for Decentralized Energy - WADE works to accelerate the worldwide development of high efficiency cogeneration, onsite power and decentralized renewable energy systems that deliver substantial economic and environmental benefits. In an effort to raise the profile of cogeneration as a climate change mitigation strategy in the 1997 UNFCCC climate change negotiations the International Cogeneration Alliance was founded. In 2002 the group changed its name to WADE and broadened its scope to include all manner of DE technologies.

WADE's five key objectives and programmes:

• To provide its Members and supporters with value added market intelligence, information and business opportunities
• To bring about effective power sector reform which eliminates barriers to DE and creates real market opportunity for DE
• To co-ordinate the creation and monetization of high quality carbon credits from DE projects
• To compile global data on all aspects of DE development
  To support the establishment of DE groups in every country
