About

Centre of Excellence for Offshore Wind and Renewable Energy

The Centre of Excellence for Offshore Wind and Renewable Energy is a joint initiative between the Indian Ministry of New and Renewable Energy and the Danish Energy Agency. By bringing together industry, public authorities and civil society, the Centre will play a crucial role in facilitating and accelerating the implementation of the Indian offshore wind strategy. The Centre aims to support the ambitious Indian targets on renewable energy of 500 GW in 2030. This is done through a series of enabling initiatives under four thematic areas: Spatial Planning and Permitting Process; Financial Framework and Auction Design; Grid and Supply Chain Infrastructure; and Technical Standards and Rules.
