Partnership activities will focus on India and the United Kingdom, with scope to extend to other mutually agreed geographies, and will aim to enhance efficiency, affordability and reliability while accelerating clean energy adoption. Workstreams are expected to consider business models for distributed energy resources, grid friendly EV charging and system level storage that support renewable integration.
