International Solar Alliance (ISA)

International Solar Alliance (ISA) 

The International Solar Alliance (ISA) is a treaty-based inter-governmental organisation working to create a global market system to tap the benefits of solar power and promote clean energy applications.

 ISA’s mission

is to unlock US$ 1 trillion of investments in solar by 2030 while reducing the cost of the technology and its financing. 

headquarter

With the signing and ratification of the ISA Framework Agreement by 15 countries on 6 December 2017, ISA became the first international intergovernmental organisation to be headquartered in India.

 ISA is partnering

with multilateral development banks (MDBs), development financial institutions (DFIs), private and public sector organisations, civil society, and other international institutions.

 to deploy cost-effective and transformational solutions through solar energy, especially in the least Developed Countries (LDCs) and the Small Island Developing States (SIDS). 

The ISA has expanded its coverage

🌺to all its 110 member countries. 

🌺It assists them with the adoption of solar energy 

🌺with the view to improving energy access, 

🌺ensuring energy security 

🌺and facilitating the energy transition. 

capacity has been identified

Through the programmatic support offered by ISA, a pipeline of 9.5 GW of solar energy capacity has been identified in its member countries

 including largescale solar parks in multiple developing countries. 

solar energy demonstration projects

In its member countries, with a grant of US$ 50,000, ISA is assisting in setting up solar energy demonstration projects.

 Three such demonstration projects were inaugurated at the Fifth Assembly of ISA
