President Droupadi Murmu will deliver the keynote address at the 8th International Solar Alliance (ISA) Assembly at Bharat Mandapam in New Delhi today. Minister of New and Renewable Energy, Pralhad Joshi, will address the inaugural session of ISA today.
The four-day global event is being attended by 124 countries and over 40 Ministers across the globe. This event brought the global community together to deepen cooperation and accelerate solar adoption for a brighter and sustainable future. During the sessions, the member countries are reviewing progress, addressing challenges, and aligning actions toward one vision – affordable solar energy for all.
The International Solar Alliance is taking forward the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi of harnessing the power of solar energy. India achieved 50 per cent of its total installed electricity generation capacity from non-fossil fuel sources five years ago, ahead of its target of 2030.
India is the 3rd world largest Solar Producer and the world’s second-largest market for renewable energy growth. More than 20 lakh households have already been benefiting from solar power on their rooftop under the PM Surya Ghar Muft Yojana.
The International Solar Alliance is an international organisation with 124 Member and Signatory countries. It works with governments to improve energy access and security worldwide and promote solar power as a sustainable transition to a carbon-neutral future. It also promotes the use of solar energy in the agriculture, health, transport, and power generation sectors.
