About

• The One Sun One World One Grid (OSOWOG) is an initiative to introduce a transnational electricity grid that supplies power worldwide. 
• The idea for this initiative was first proposed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, during the assembly of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) 2018. 
• The Green Grids initiative (GGI) was launched by the United Kingdom (UK). This initiative intends to create a framework for international collaboration on the optimal use of renewable resources to ensure that clean and efficient energy is a reliable alternative for all countries to meet their energy requirements by 2030. 
• At the Conference of Parties (COP-26) climate summit held in Glasgow in 2021, both the initiatives were launched together by India and UK as a part of bilateral cooperation in partnership with the International Solar Alliance (ISA) and the World Bank Group (WB). 
• As both initiatives focused on the transition to renewable energy at a global level, they merged and became a single initiative for a common purpose called the GGI-OSOWOG.
