NITI Aayog Power Sector JV
In a bid to strengthen the US-India energy cooperation, USAID, the US Energy Information Administration and NITI Aayog have signed an agreement to support the design of a nodal agency for energy management, the US Ambassador to India said in a recent statement, adding that USAID and NITI Aayog extend cooperation on the Sustainable Growth Working Group to September 2017. With the existing strategies, the two countries will be able to make more informed policy decisions using better energy data and applying enhanced modeling to understand the key trends shaping the energy future. Again, geospatial analysis will help to determine how solar and wind resources can be applied at the best. Under this agreement, the cooperation between the Prayas Energy Group and the US Pacific Northwest National Laboratory is enhanced through direct cooperation with the US Government's lead agency for energy information. This will strengthen how energy data is collected, managed and utilized, he claimed.
