India and Denmark have signed the renewed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to reinforce the cooperation in energy sector. The renewed MoU supports India’s ambitious target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.

The proactive renewal ensures continuity in dialogue and cooperation, allowing for a seamless extension of joint efforts in energy sector development.

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. It also emphasises increased knowledge exchange through expert interactions, joint training sessions and study tours.  Manohar Lal, Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs said that the renewed energy cooperation expresses the mutual commitment of India and Denmark to foster sustainable development.

The MoU was signed by Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Power, and Rasmus Abildgaard Kristensen, Ambassador of Denmark to India, in the presence of Manohar Lal, Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs. This agreement reflects both countries’ continued commitment to accelerating clean energy transitions.
