One Sun, One World, One Grid (OSOWOG) or Green Grid

India and the UK are likely to announce a joint declaration on “one sun, one world, one grid” — or OSOWOG at the upcoming Conference of Parties (COP26).

What is OSOWOG or Green Grid?

  • The idea behind the concept is a trans-national electricity grid supplying solar power across the globe. The vision behind the OSOWOG is ‘The Sun Never Sets’ and is a constant at some geographical location, globally, at any given point of time.
  • It has been taken up under the technical assistance program of the World Bank.

Three Phases of the Plan:

First Phase: It will entail interconnectivity within the Asian continent.
Second Phase: It will add Africa.
Third Phase: It is about global interconnection.
