In November 2024, during the 2nd India-Australia Annual Summit held on the sidelines of the G20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Prime Ministers Narendra Modi and Anthony Albanese officially launched the India-Australia Renewable Energy Partnership (REP). This partnership aims to bolster cooperation in renewable energy sectors, including solar photovoltaic (PV) technology, green hydrogen, energy storage, and two-way investment in renewable energy projects.

A significant initiative under this partnership is the establishment of the India-Australia Rooftop Solar Academy. Set to commence in 2025, the academy will be a collaborative effort between Australia's expertise in rooftop solar and India's Skill Council for Green Jobs. The program aims to train 2,000 young Indian technicians in solar PV installation and maintenance, aligning with India's ambitious goal to install rooftop solar systems for 10 million households in the coming years.

This initiative not only addresses the growing demand for skilled professionals in the renewable energy sector but also exemplifies the practical cooperation between the two nations in achieving their shared climate and energy objectives.
