India Explores Cross-Border Power Grids

12 Nov 2024 CW Team

India is in advanced discussions with several Gulf and Asian nations to establish cross-border power grid connections as part of the One Sun One World One Grid (OSOWOG) initiative. Led by the Ministry of Power, this initiative aims to create a unified, sustainable electricity grid that connects Asia with the Gulf and beyond, enhancing energy security and promoting renewable energy distribution across regions. Talks involve nations including Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, with the aim of facilitating seamless electricity exchange and integrating renewable energy sources like solar and wind into the grid.

OSOWOG seeks to address global energy disparities by sharing surplus renewable energy across borders, especially from regions with abundant sunlight and wind resources. The initiative also aligns with India’s broader energy goals of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070 and positioning itself as a global leader in renewable energy solutions. By creating a shared grid infrastructure, India and its partners aim to reduce the costs associated with energy storage and fossil fuel reliance, while promoting sustainable development.

The project underscores India's proactive approach to collaborating on international energy frameworks, potentially marking a new era in regional cooperation on clean energy. If successful, OSOWOG could serve as a model for other continents looking to maximize renewable energy potential, reduce carbon footprints, and establish energy resilience through cross-border collaboration.
