$125 million U.S.-India Initiative for Clean Energy
The partnership will drive expansion of Washington University in St. Louis’ solar energy program. According to Professor Pratim Biswas, director of the McDonnell Academy Global Energy and Environmental Partnership (MAGEEP), a recently announced U.S.-India consortium in solar energy is driven by the idea that India may be able to leapfrog energy production technology, moving directly to solar in areas of the country that have never been electrified.
