ReNew Power and Gentari Renewables India are forming a 50/50 joint venture in clean energy solutions. The joint venture aims to achieve a target of five gigawatts in renewable energy capacity in India, focusing on solar, wind, and energy storage. Gentari Renewables India is a subsidiary of Malaysian clean energy solutions provider, Gentari, which is part of Malaysia's state owned oil and gas major Petronas. Gentari's initial investment for a 49% equity stake in ReNew's 403 megawatt Peak Power Project in May, 2023, led to this collaboration. So Joel, this is a, a, a, a really unique collaboration in India for renewable power. ReNew is, is just a huge renewable energies company, and Gentari is headed that way. So this is fascinating where two really powerful companies are joining forces again to increase their scale.  Joel Saxum: Yeah. You know, in India there's a lot of different regions that have really good wind resource. So as, as Rosemary talks about on the show a lot is that, you know, if you have wind resource, it's all tied together. You know the wind blows the same. If the wind shuts down, it shuts down for the whole region. That's problematic. In India, they don't have that problem. So they have a lot of different regions and, and as we know plagued for power production there in India. So this is great for the country of India and the, the economy over there as well to have a couple of big players invest in some money and build some assets.  Allen Hall: So the partnership with Gentari will expand ReNew's energy portfolio and they're planning on having 30 gigawatts of renewable energy capacity by 2030. So that's pretty massive. Over in Spain,
