About the EU-India CECP Phase-III

The EU-India Clean Energy and Climate Partnership (CECP) entered its third phase with its official launch at the high-level event, “10 Years of Strengthening EU-India Cooperation for Energy Transition,” held on 28 January 2026 on the margins of the 16th EU-India Summit.

CECP Phase III is being implemented through a strengthened Team Europe approach, with Expertise France and GIZ as the implementing partners. The programme builds on a decade of successful EU-India cooperation to deepen policy dialogue, strengthen institutional collaboration, and accelerate the clean energy transition in both regions. The partnership supports the implementation of activities aligned with the strategic priorities focusing on:

  • Renewable Hydrogen
  • Offshore and Nearshore Wind
  • Regional Connectivity, Electricity Markets and Smart Grids
  • Energy Efficiency
  • Energy and Climate Diplomacy

Implementation period of Phase-III is from January 2026 to October 2028.

About the website

This website has been established under the CECP Project to support the EU-India Clean Energy and Climate Partnership. It serves as a central repository for CECP resources and a dedicated platform for disseminating information, fostering stakeholder engagement, and facilitating knowledge sharing among wider clean energy and climate stakeholders.

Our Objective

At its core, CECP Phase III aims to enhance deep strategic cooperation between the EU and India across priority areas agreed upon at the 10th EU-India Energy Panel meeting in November 2024. The project will remain closely in line with, and contribute to, the main energy policy directions of the EU and India respectively. The interventions will be implemented through a diverse array of instruments, including technical workshops, business dialogues, expert missions, peer-to-peer exchanges, study tours, feasibility studies, pilot projects, policy dialogues, research and innovation partnerships and business to business engagements.
