India, Saudi Arabia plan undersea power grid link

economictimes.indiatimes.com

India and Saudi Arabia are planning an undersea electricity grid connection, potentially making India a green energy exporter. The project aims to link the countries' power grids via cables under the Arabian Sea. This initiative, part of PM Modi's OSOWOG vision, will facilitate electricity sharing and grid stability. Feasibility studies are underway, following a 2023 MoU for energy cooperation, including renewable energy and hydrogen projects. The project could reduce India's reliance on Saudi oil and gas, and is part of a broader effort to connect grids with other nations. Undersea cables are complex and expensive, but enable the exchange of renewable energy.
