The Green grid\/OSOWOG initiative announced at COP-26, Glasgow by India and UK, is an international initiative to create an interconnected global power grid for reliable, resilient and affordable supply of clean energy for all.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Purpose of the Green Grid Initiative can be highlighted as:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. To speed up the process to decarbonize energy production, which is the largest source of global GHG emissions.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  2. \u00a0To help in increasing investment in Research and development centers by pooling skill, technology and financial resources.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. To transport solar power to different countries by creating a three phase 2600 GW of interconnection by connecting Asia, Africa and rest of the world by 2050.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. To create international network of global interconnected solar power grid, to ensure 24×7 supply of green power.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  5. To operate by building and scaling inter-regional energy grids, leveraging the difference of time zones, seasons, resources, and prices between the country and region.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    The idea for the single global grid for solar was first outlined at the first assembly of International Solar Alliance in the late 2018 by the Indian Prime Minister to:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Initiate a collaborative effort to minimize cost, maximize efficiency and attract investments to build a global green grid.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    2. Envision a sustainable and impactful change to lift millions out from poverty through green energy.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      However, the implementation of Green Grids will face the challenges of:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Financing, for creation of global transmission infrastructure.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      2. Global cooperation between the countries, for connecting with the green grid.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
      3. As the grid will pass through several geographical locations, it will be sensitive to the security risks emanating from terror organizations.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Green grid initiative has the potential to create avenues for scalable green energy source, which could be the answer to the rising global temperatures.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
