India and Denmark have reinforced their long-standing energy cooperation by signing a renewed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

The MoU aims to foster knowledge exchange and technological collaboration between the two countries, particularly in the area of clean and sustainable energy solutions. This agreement follows five years of successful collaboration under the original MoU, signed on June 5, 2020, and initially set to expire on June 5, 2025. The proactive renewal ensures continuity in dialogue and cooperation, allowing for a seamless extension of joint efforts in energy sector development.

The MoU was signed by Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Power, Government of India, and Rasmus Abildgaard Kristensen, Ambassador of Denmark to India, in the presence of Manohar Lal, Union Minister of Power, and Housing and Urban Affairs.

Lal asserted that the renewed energy cooperation expresses the mutual commitment of India and Denmark to foster sustainable development. It also supports India's ambitious target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2070.

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 emphasizes increased knowledge exchange through expert interactions, joint training sessions, and study tours.
