Maritime Energy Partnership
Copenhagen
India and Denmark have taken another major step in their Green Strategic Partnership, reaffirming their commitment to accelerate clean energy transitions and deepen cooperation in the renewable sector.
An Indian delegation led by Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary at the Ministry of Power, concluded its visit to Denmark on Wednesday after wide-ranging discussions with several energy institutions and stakeholders. The team visited the Danish Meteorological Institute, Orsted Balancing Responsible, Middelgrunden Offshore Windfarm, Copenhagen Centre on Energy Efficiency, UNEP-CCC, and Copenhill, exploring ways to integrate thermal assets in a renewable-based power system.
The Embassy of India in Denmark, along with the Indo-Danish Chamber of Commerce, organised an Indo-Danish Roundtable on Green Hydrogen and Maritime Collaboration. Addressing the event, Ambassador Manish Prabhat highlighted the importance of long-term cooperation in green hydrogen technologies between both countries.
Earlier this week, Agarwal met Lars Frelle-Petersen, Denmark’s Permanent Secretary for Climate, Energy and Utilities, to review progress under the energy partnership. The 7th Joint Working Group Meeting on Power also took place, where Indian and Danish officials discussed expanding collaboration on renewable energy and power systems.
Energy cooperation forms a key pillar of the India-Denmark Green Strategic Partnership, launched in 2020. In May 2025, both sides signed a renewed Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to continue their partnership beyond 2025.
The agreement supports India’s goal of reaching net-zero emissions by 2070 and focuses on areas such as renewable integration, EV infrastructure, cross-border electricity trading, and expert knowledge exchange through training and study programs.
Officials said the partnership reflects both nations’ shared vision for sustainable growth and technological innovation in clean energy.
