Power Grid Corporation of India Limited (POWERGRID), a ‘Maharatna’ company under Ministry of Power, Govt. of India, organised a seminar on ‘Transnational Grid Interconnections for One Sun, One World, One Grid’ (OSOWOG) at Hotel Shangri-La Eros, New Delhi in the run up to the G20 event to be held in Delhi. The gathering was virtually addressed by Shri R. K. Singh, Hon’ble Minister of Power, New & Renewable Energy, Govt. of India. He stated, “India has already established cross border interconnections with its neighbours and strengthening of various cross border links is under process. OSOWOG will enable all nations to reap the benefit of energy from the Sun. This is very relevant to today’s context particularly when we are transitioning to renewable energy. Once this transnational grid interconnection happens, it will do away with dependence on storage, which is costlier and required for round the clock renewable energy. It will also ensure power access to the millions without it.” He wished the seminar a great success. Shri Ghanshyam Prasad, Chairperson, CEA, Shri Ajay Tewari, Additional Secretary, Ministry of Power, Shri Ashish Upadhyaya. Special Secretary & Financial Adviser, Ministry of Power, Govt. of India and Shri K. Sreekant, CMD, POWERGRID addressed in the inaugural session of the seminar which was attended by think tanks, industry, academia, sector experts and media.
