India and Denmark have strengthened their commitment to sustainable energy by signing a renewed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on Friday, aimed at advancing clean energy initiatives and supporting India’s ambitious target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.

The agreement was formalized by Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary of the Ministry of Power, Government of India, and Rasmus Abildgaard Kristensen, Denmark’s Ambassador to India, in the presence of Manohar Lal, Minister of Power and Housing & Urban Affairs. The signing marks a continuation of the successful collaboration that began with the original MoU on June 5, 2020, which was set to expire in June 2025.

The renewed MoU expands the scope of the partnership, focusing on cutting-edge areas such as power system modeling, integration of variable renewable energy, cross-border electricity trading, and the development of electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure. It also emphasizes enhanced knowledge sharing through expert interactions, joint training programs, and study tours.

Speaking at the event, Manohar Lal highlighted the mutual dedication of both nations to sustainable development, stating, “This renewed energy cooperation reflects our shared commitment to fostering a cleaner and greener future.”
Building on five years of fruitful collaboration, the agreement ensures uninterrupted dialogue and technological exchange, positioning India and Denmark as key partners in the global transition to clean energy.
