France pledges 700 million euros for new solar projects in developing nations
(VOVWORLD) -French President Emmanuel Macron on Sunday pledged hundreds of millions for solar projects in developing countries, as world leaders met in India to promote greater investment in renewable energy.
Speaking at the launch of the International Solar Alliance in New Delhi on Sunday, Macron said that France will provide an extra 700 million euros in loans and donations by 2022 for solar projects in emerging economies.
France, which had already committed 300 million Euros to the initiative, co-founded with India a global alliance in 2015 to unlock new cash for solar projects in sunny yet poor nations.
