Question 3 of 5
3. Question
1 pointsWith reference to One Sun, One World, One Grid (OSOWOG) Initiative, consider the following statements:
1. It was launched at the United Nations Climate Change Conference in 2015.
2. The initiatives will include all the member countries of the United Nations.Which of the statement given above is/are correct?
Correct
OSOWOG Initiative
Under the project, India envisaged having an interconnected power transmission grid across nations for the supply of clean energy.
The vision behind the OSOWOG mantra is ‘The Sun Never Sets’ and is a constant at some geographical location, globally, at any given point of time.
With India at the fulcrum, the solar spectrum can easily be divided into two broad zones viz. far East which would include countries like Myanmar, Vietnam, Thailand, Lao, Cambodia etc. and far West which would cover the Middle East and the Africa Region.
Implementation
The OSOWOG would have three phases. In the first phase Phase I, Middle East, South Asia and South-East Asia would be interconnected.
In the second phase, solar and other renewable energy resources rich regions would be interconnected.
In the third phase would vie for global interconnection of the power transmission grid to achieve the One Sun One World One Grid vision.
Benefits of the project
An interconnected grid would help all the participating entities in attracting investments in renewable energy sources as well as utilizing skills, technology and finances.
Resulting economic benefits would positively impact poverty alleviation and support in mitigating water, sanitation, food and other socio-economic challenges.
Further, the proposed integration would lead to reduced project costs, higher efficiencies and increased asset utilization for all the participating entities.Incorrect
