Supporting the drive for energy independence by enabling a green economy, accelerating renewables and storage solutions, enhancing energy sector digitization, and scaling clean tech innovation

People-positive energy transition

Global Energy Alliance aims to provide dependable, green power to reduce carbon emissions and to enhance the livelihoods of millions of marginalized individuals across various geographies in India by 2030.

Global Energy Alliance is working towards the goal of improving the lives of more than 300 million people living with unreliable energy and accelerating India’s ambition to deploy 500 GW of RE by 2030. To achieve these goals and transform India’s energy landscape, we facilitate innovative public-private-philanthropic partnerships across three interconnected solutions in 10 states. These solutions implemented across a critical mass of states, along with high-quality knowledge sharing and communications, can unlock sustained adoption nationally.
