A “curtain-raiser” event for the founding ceremony of the International Solar Alliance (ISA) took place in Bonn, Germany yesterday.<\/p>\n

An initiative led by the governments of India and France, born on the sidelines of the UNFCCC Conference of Parties (CoP21) in Paris in 2015, the International Solar Alliance<\/a> will be working towards a goal of more than 1,000 GW of new solar energy deployed in ISA countries by 2030.<\/p>\n

The ambitious target will involve mobilising more than a trillion US dollars of investment. The Asian Development Bank (ADB) has agreed to explore financing of USD 500 million for programmes and the ISA has invited a number of financial institutions to participate in the creation of a global risk mitigation fund of USD 300 billion over ten years.<\/p>\n

At yesterday’s event, Anand Kumar from India’s Ministry of New and Renewable Energy urged<\/a> developed countries to set aside a percentage of Overseas Development Assistance (ODA) towards supporting solar projects in developing countries, and for financial institutions to provide “wholehearted support” for solar power.<\/p>\n

The ISA is providing a platform for collaboration between countries rich in solar resources to further solar research, development and financing, plus will assist member countries in addressing barriers to solar uptake through a common agreed approach.<\/p>\n

The ISA’s potential membership consists of 121 countries lying fully or partially between the Tropic of Cancer and the Tropic of Capricorn – which includes Australia.<\/p>\n

In June this year, the Australian Government formally indicated its intention to join the ISA.<\/p>\n

“In joining, Australia looks forward to collaborating with India, France and other members to play a leading role in the Solar Alliance,” stated<\/a> a release from Minister for Foreign Affairs Julie Bishop’s office.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Currently, ISA\u2019s development programs include facilitating affordable solar finance, scaling up solar power applications for agriculture in a dozen countries and promoting solar mini-grids. Another program in the pipeline will seek to accelerate the uptake of off-grid and grid-connected rooftop solar<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To date, 44 countries (including Australia) have signed the ISA Framework Agreement<\/a> (PDF) that comes into force on December 6; with the official founding ceremony to occur soon after.<\/p>\n

The agreement recognises that solar power presents “an unprecedented opportunity to bring prosperity, energy security and sustainable development” to member countries.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
