The Next Terawatt ministerial plenary at the summit was convened by the International Solar Alliance along with which partners?
- A.NITI Aayog and the World Bank
- B.CEEW and Energiva Ventures
- C.BloombergNEF and IIT Madras
- D.The Asian Development Bank and SECI
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is CEEW and Energiva Ventures. The high-level dialogue called The Next Terawatt was convened by the International Solar Alliance together with these two, and it was joined by the Union Minister of New and Renewable Energy, the Union Minister of Power and Housing and Urban Affairs, and the Minister of State for New and Renewable Energy and Power. The plenary was meant to map the architecture for implementing renewable energy worldwide in the decades ahead, with a roadmap stretching to 2050. Option A is wrong because neither body was named as a convenor of this plenary. Option C is wrong because BloombergNEF was the curating partner for the separate Watts Next ideas forum, in which a faculty member of IIT Madras spoke; the two sessions must not be confused. Option D is wrong because no such role was mentioned for either institution at this summit.
