The grid will be installed by the International Solar Alliance in the next few years (one is), another initiative launched by India, to transport solar energy to different countries under the Green Grid Initiative.
Johnson took the occasion to praise India’s role in making the international grid a reality and invoked Modi to speak, mentioning “One Surya, One World, One Grid and One Narendra Modi” amidst all-round applause from the participants. did.
Modi also announced that the country’s space agency, ISRO, would come up with a “solar calculator application” to find the availability of sunlight in different countries in real time using satellite data, which would help these countries plan several activities. will help to create.
“The solar energy potential of any country can be mapped with the help of this calculator. This will help in locating solar projects and strengthen the ‘One Sun One World One Grid’ initiative.” Joe Biden and other leaders.
“The One Sun One World One Grid and Green Grid Initiative is an idea whose time has come. If the world is to move towards a clean and green future, these interconnected transnational grids are going to be the key solution,” Modi said.
He added that the transnational grid will not only help reduce the global carbon footprint, but will also bring countries closer through cooperation while harnessing the benefits of solar energy, unlike the industrialization supported by fossil fuels in the past, which eroded nature And as a result geopolitical tensions arose.
“The UK is working hand in hand with our friends in India to transform the future of the power sector and provide clean and reliable electricity everywhere by the end of this decade. It is wonderful that over 80 countries have supported our newly launched Green Grid Initiative, which will not only see greater growth, jobs and investment in our global green future, but will also ensure that any energy is left without access,” Johnson said.
The announcement was accompanied by the “One Sun Declaration”, which stated that, realizing the vision of “One Sun, One World, One Grid” through an interconnected green grid can be transformative, enabling us all to be able to meet your goals. Paris Agreement To prevent dangerous climate change, accelerate the clean energy transition and achieve the Sustainable Development Goals. These efforts can encourage green investment and create millions of good jobs. By sharing the energy of the sun, we can help build a more peaceful and prosperous world.”
80 ISA member states have supported the declaration. The implementation of OSOWOG will revolve around the concept that ‘the sun never sets’ and therefore, remains constant at any given time, globally, in a geographic location.
“This network has the potential to be a modern engineering marvel, and a catalyst for expanding renewable electricity generation and effectively mitigating climate change over the next decade. Globally, approximately 2,600 GW of interconnection capacity should be possible by 2050. This would lead to an estimated electricity savings of EUR 226 billion per year. Ajay Mathuri, Director General of ISA.
According to ISA’s concept note on OSOWOG, the Global Solar Grid will be implemented in three phases. In the first phase, the ‘Indian Grid’ will connect the Middle East, South Asia and South East Asia grids to share solar and other renewable energy resources to meet power needs, including peak demand.
It will then be linked with the African Power Pool in the second phase. The third phase will cover the global interconnection of power transmission grids to achieve OSOWOG’s vision.
