In news

Details
  • India is well on its way to achieving its Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) relating clean energy and emission reduction well ahead of the target date. 
  • Accelerating global power transition is a top priority for the UK as it leads the UN Climate Change Conference (COP26).
Background
  • The idea was first floated by Modi in 2018 during the first assembly of the International Solar Alliance (ISA).
  • The ambitious OSOWOG will connect 140 countries through a common grid that will be used to transfer solar power.
  • The vision behind the OSOWOG mantra is “the Sun never sets” and is a constant at some geographical location, globally, at any given point of time.
  • With India at the fulcrum, the solar spectrum can easily be divided into two broad zones, which is the far East which would include countries like Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, Lao, Cambodia and far West which would cover the Middle East and Africa Region,” MNRE said in the terms of reference in the RfP published to hire consultants for OSOWOG.
  • OSOWOG is planned to be completed in three phases. The first phase will entail interconnectivity within the Asian continent; the second phase will add Africa and the third phase will globalise the whole project.
