India and US to hold Clean Energy Partnership Dialogue on This Date

(The Quiver): On October 7, Hardeep Singh Puri, the Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas, and Jennifer Granholm, the US Secretary of Energy, will hold a ministerial discussion on the US-India Strategic Clean Energy Partnership (USISCEP).

The revamped USISCEP was introduced in line with the U.S.-India Climate and Clean Energy Agenda 2030 Partnership, which was unveiled in April 2021 by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and US President Joe Biden.

The cooperation intends to scale up developing clean energy technologies and deploy technical solutions through five pillars: responsible oil and gas, power and energy efficiency, renewable energy, sustainable growth, and emerging fuels and technologies.

According to sources, he will hold conversations with the CEOs of US-based energy businesses and take part in two executive roundtables hosted by the USA India Business Council in Washington, D.C. and the USA India Strategic Partnership Forum in Houston.

From October 6 to 11, Puri will head a corporate and official delegation to Houston and Washington, DC.

The visit also becomes more significant because India and other nations are striving to diversify their energy sources and push for renewable energy at a time when the global energy market is going through a turbulent phase due to the war between Russia and Ukraine.
