NEW DELHI: RK Singh, Minister of Power and New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, with his Danish counterpart Dan Jorgensen, Climate Minister, Energy and Utilities, Government of Denmark, agreed on further engagement of the two countries in the field of renewable energy on Thursday, September 9.

In the meeting, Singh highlighted that transition towards green energy is a significant part of India’s policy. He also pointed out that Prime Minister Narendra Modi mentioned a set target of 450 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity to be achieved by 2030 in his speech on Independence Day. Moreover, the two ministers together launched the ‘Centre of Excellence on Offshore Wind’ as a constituent of the Green Strategic Partnership.  This Centre will be surrounded by four working groups such as spatial planning, financial framework conditions, supply chain infrastructure and standards and testing, and in its initial phases of operation, focus would be given to the offshore wind sector.

In the long run, the Centre will tend to broaden to include wider groups of international governments and accumulate expertise in offshore wind sector and become an international Centre for offshore wind and have broader links in new and renewable energy.
