India and Denmark have strengthened their energy sector cooperation by signing a renewed Memorandum of Understanding today. The agreement was signed by Shri Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Power, Government of India, and H.E. Mr. Rasmus Abildgaard Kristensen, Ambassador of Denmark to India. The signing took place in the presence of Shri Manohar Lal, Hon’ble Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs. This renewed partnership highlights the commitment of both countries to support clean energy transitions and promote sustainable development.
The renewed MoU supports India’s ambitious goal of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070. It encourages the exchange of knowledge and collaboration on clean and sustainable energy technologies. The original MoU was signed on June 5, 2020, and was initially valid until June 5, 2025. However, both countries have decided to renew the agreement early to maintain the continuity of dialogue and joint efforts in energy development.
Under the renewed agreement, the partnership will now include advanced areas such as power system modeling, integration of variable renewable energy, cross-border electricity trading, and the development of electric vehicle charging infrastructure. It also aims to improve collaboration through expert interactions, joint training programs, and study tours.
Shri Manohar Lal said the renewed cooperation between India and Denmark is a clear expression of mutual commitment towards sustainable growth. The focus will remain on advancing technologies and sharing best practices to support energy goals and reduce carbon emissions. This partnership builds on five years of successful collaboration and aims to further enhance energy sector cooperation between the two countries for a cleaner and greener future.
