Regulatory Assistance Project (RAP) is an independent, non-partisan nonprofit based in Montpelier, Vermont, dedicated to accelerating a clean, reliable, and efficient energy future. The organization helps energy and air quality regulators and NGOs navigate the complexities of power sector policy, regulation, and markets, shaping practical, locally tailored solutions. RAP focuses on the world's four largest power markets—China, Europe, India, and the United States—to address policy and regulatory challenges that affect energy transition outcomes. It functions as a resource for regulators and other stakeholders seeking effective, evidence-based policy options for the energy sector. With a midsize nonprofit profile, RAP's operations span its local base and international policy work. In May 2026, Agora Energiewende merged with RAP, a development that could result in Europe's largest green transition policy shop.
