The Union Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) had invited proposals for implementing ‘One Sun One World One Grid’ (OSOWOG) in May 2020.
The concept of OSOWOG was introduced in the Global RE-Invest meeting of the Indian Ocean Rim Association and the first assembly of the International Solar Alliance (ISA).
OSOWOG is India’s initiative to build a global ecosystem of interconnected renewable energy resources.
The blueprint will be developed under the World Bank’s technical assistance programme that is implemented to accelerate the deployment of grid connected rooftop solar installations.
OSOWOG is planned to be completed in three phases.
Phase I - It will entail interconnectivity within the Asian continent.
Phase II - It will add Africa.
Phase III - It will globalize the whole project.
This is seen as India’s counter to China’s Belt and Road initiative (BRI).
