The U.S. Trade and Development Agency (TDA) sponsored a visit to the United States for delegates of the Eurasian and Southeastern Europe District Energy/Combined Heat and Power (CHP) Orientation Visit from June 21, 2003 to June 27, 2003. The delegation was invited to view American technology in the district heating and combined heat and power sector.

In addition to attending the IDEA conference, the delegation participated in site visits to various heating and power facilities in Philadelphia and Baltimore. GMC also organized meetings for four of the delegates to Washington, D.C. to meet with high-level officials at USAID.
