A treaty-based international intergovernmental organisation, International Solar Alliance (ISA), aims at mobilising more than USD 1000 billion of investment needed by 2030 for the massive deployment of solar energy.
Last month, Armenia became the 104th full member of the International Solar Alliance (ISA), Ministry of External Affairs Official Spokesperson Randhir Jaiswal announced.
Headquartered in India, the ISA has brought together several countries to collectively address barriers related to technology, finance, and capacity in scaling up solar energy.
India is playing a crucial role in shaping the sustainable energy future by providing renewable energy solutions to the world, especially the Global South. Under India's Presidency of the ISA, it has undertaken numerous impactful projects, including solarisation of Malawi's Parliamentary building, solar-powered healthcare centres in Fiji, solar-powered cold storage facility in Seychelles, and solar PV rooftop systems in Kiribati.
The alliance has also facilitated technical training for experts from member countries to enhance solar energy capabilities.
