To enhance and deepen the dialogue about relevant energy issues, the German Chancellor and the Indian Prime Minister established the Indo-German Energy Forum (IGEF) in 2006. The project, implemented by the Deutsche Gesellschaft für internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ) and the Kreditanstalt für Wiederaufbau (KfW), aims at initiating strategic cooperation projects between the German and Indian government, institutions and the private sector and contributing to the global energy transition.
One innovative concept towards achieving India’s target for renewable energy is Agriphotovoltaics. GIZ supports the development of enabling policies, promotion of research and knowledge management as well as implementation of pilot projects and capacity building activities for Agriphotovoltaics in India. The AgriPV project is part of a develoPPP programme. With develoPPP, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) promotes private-sector activities where entrepreneurial opportunities and development policy potential meet.
