The World Bank has also expressed its support as it expects this initiative to have several benefits.
The US has partnered with the UK and India-led Green Grids Initiative of a global energy grid launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the COP26 climate summit in Glasgow.
At a meeting of the Steering Committee of the Green Grids Initiative - 'One Sun One World One Grid'' (GGI-OSOWOG) earlier this week, US Secretary of Energy Jennifer Granholm said that the US is excited to be back in the climate conversation and to partner with the new initiative.
"All the energy humanity uses in a year is equal to the energy that reaches the earth from the sun in a single hour," said Granholm.
"The GGI-OSOWOG is focusing on the two most important pieces of the puzzle. We at the US Department of Energy are happy to be a partner with GGI-OSOWOG," she said.
