The Energy for Growth Dialogue focused on the shared
commitments of both Prime Ministers to clean and green
supplies of energy. Both countries are also committed
to reducing the cost of developing and deploying clean
energy projects.
Minister Singh and Secretary of State Clark celebrated
progress on collaboration between both countries since
the first Dialogue
in 2017, particularly on power sector reform and
the development of renewable energy.
The ministers endorsed a forward action plan for
collaboration and agreed to develop a proposal for a
joint programme on Clean Energy for Growth to support
the rapid and sustainable growth of India’s energy
sector. In addition to key actions to accelerate energy
efficiency, this programme may include elements on
renewable energy, power sector reform and elements of
green finance.
They discussed the recent launch of the joint UK-India
Centre for Energy Regulation, as well as India’s
leadership of the International Solar Alliance.
Minister Singh’s visit was set against successful
international summits held this week in India on Future
Mobility and in the UK on Zero Emission Vehicles,
demonstrating continued global leadership by both
countries to make transport cleaner and greener. The
Minister engaged with industry in business roundtables
and visited an offshore wind farm, to see first-hand
the steps that the UK has taken to install the largest
operational offshore wind capacity in the world.
