U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)’s Post

Last month, U.S. Energy Deputy Secretary David Turk, Senior Advisor to the President for International Climate Policy John Podesta, and U.S. Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources Richard Verma met with key energy leaders in India, including in the Prime Minister’s Office and representatives from the Ministries of Finance, Power, Petroleum and Natural Gas, New and Renewable Energy, and Science & Technology & Atomic Energy in New Delhi, as well as officials from NITI Aayog. Discussions focused on strengthening India’s clean energy manufacturing capacity to help diversify American supply chains in key areas of the clean energy technology sector. Growth in solar, grid-scale storage, and clean hydrogen manufacturing capabilities will be critical for India’s clean energy transition, and we are committed to supporting their efforts. Roundtable discussions focused on the importance of U.S. and Indian investments in clean technology manufacturing to build out India’s domestic clean energy supply chains. The impact of these investments will spread beyond the country and help diversify the industrial base needed for a global energy transition. Thank you to the Council on Energy, Environment and Water (CEEW), US-India Business Council (USIBC), the US-India Strategic Partnership Forum (USISPF), and the India Energy Storage Alliance (IESA) for being fantastic partners in hosting us. Additionally, we held our 2nd U.S.-India New and Emerging Renewable Energy Technologies Action Platform (#RETAP) Steering Committee meeting to accelerate development of key technologies to advance our common ambitious clean energy goals. We extend our heartfelt thanks to our partners in New Delhi for their warm hospitality and the productive conversations. We look forward to showcasing the progress of our U.S.-India collaborations at the Strategic Clean Energy Partnership Ministerial #SCEP this coming week.

Today, we remember those we lost during — and in the aftermath – of 9/11, and we honor those who risked or gave their lives to save others. In one of our nation's darkest moments, we saw the resilience and courage of the American spirit. We carry that with us today.
