  1. Intercontinental Grid

  2. On 2nd October 2018, Prime Minister Modi announced a grand vision of creating the "one world, one sun, one grid" network. This mega project, once completed, will create a massive single grid network that will power every continent through day and night by transferring the power of the afternoon sun almost instantaneously to any part of the world. Sterlite Power echoed this vision with an idea championing the development of the IEG (Intercontinental Electricity Grid) that proposed a connector between Asia and Africa using a submarine HVDC network. The proposed connector offers a practical, simple yet challenging & futuristic solution to bring this vision to life.

  3. Kerala’s legendary Muziris port, heart of the Spice Route, vanished off the grid 3,000 years ago. It was once an established spice trade centre which enabled pepper from the vines of Malabar to find its way to Egypt, the transcontinental Asian-African country. This trade route coexisted with China’s Silk Road, trading routes established during the Han Dynasty, which linked regions of the ancient world in commerce. The spice and silk routes enabled India and China to become formidable powers of the time. That was then. Fast forward to the twenty first century. In 2017, China launched its modern reprise of the Silk Road trading route — the One Belt One Road (OBOR) initiative: a grand infrastructure project to connect nearly 70 countries across three to four continents by building a massive network of roads, ports, railways, bridges and gas pipelines using the ancient Silk Road blueprint.

  4. OBOR underscores China’s ambition to create a dominant geopolitical position in Asia leveraging its infrastructural heft. It is now India’s turn to reprise the Spice Route with an intercontinental electricity grid (IEG), a super intercontinental power grid connecting India and Africa. It would be a monumental project aimed at smoothening out the inequality of power generation and demand. Indeed, a grand project with as much infrastructural heft as OBOR.
