India and Denmark renew partnership for energy sector

They will connect knowledge exchange and tech collaboration.

India and Denmark have signed a renewed energy cooperation deal, which aims to support the South Asian state’s environmental goals.

In a statement, India said the memorandum of understanding was signed by Pankaj Agarwal, India’s Ministry of Power secretary, and H.E. Rasmus Abildgaard Kristensen, ambassador of Denmark to India.

The latest deal supports India's target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070. Under the agreement, the parties will conduct knowledge exchange and technological collaboration, particularly in clean and sustainable energy solutions. 

This agreement follows five years of successful collaboration under the original MoU, signed on 5 June 2020, and initially set to expire next month.

“The renewed agreement broadens the partnership to cover advanced areas such as power system modelling, integration of variable renewable energy, cross-border electricity trading, and development of EV charging infrastructure,” the Ministry of Power said.
