Singh appreciated the resolve of Maldives government to achieve net zero emission target by 2030, according to a power ministry statement.

During the meeting, both leaders proposed two Memoranda of Understanding -- on energy cooperation and on transmission interconnection under One Sun, One World, One Grid (OSOWOG).

 

To facilitate Maldives' energy transition programme, a transmission interconnection for renewable power transfer has been proposed, the statement said.

A draft agreement is being prepared for the MoU on transmission interconnection under which a technical team from India would visit Maldives to assess the technical feasibility of the project.

Subsequently, a Detailed Project Report (DPR) would be prepared jointly with Indian and Maldives agencies, including undersea cable route survey and network augmentation in Male, as per the statement.
