India-UAE Undersea Cable Aims to Boost Power Trade
India and the UAE are working together on a long undersea cable.
This is part of a larger plan called One Sun One World One Grid, led by Prime Minister Modi.
The goal is to make it easier to trade electricity between countries.
This project can help with energy security.
The International Solar Alliance (ISA) is also helping by using new digital tools to make the best use of renewable energy sources.
India and the UAE are collaborating on a 2,000-kilometer undersea cable project.
The project is part of the One Sun One World One Grid (OSOWOG) initiative.
This interconnection could facilitate large-scale cross-border power trade.
The initiative aims to address energy security and reduce dependence on costly storage.
ISA is promoting 'digital twins' to optimize energy use and improve renewable energy requirements.
